Welcome to Madre Maiz Taqueria

“ Silvia, Mike and the rest of the staff are super friendly and accommodating. The tacos especiales are served on blue corn with melted cheese, with the carnitas being particularly tasty. The birria torta is packed and served steaming hot on fresh bread. The food quality matches the price, and everything always comes out fast. Ask for the secret sauce if you're looking for something spicier. They also have house-made (off-site) wheat flour and corn tortillas. Haven't tried the corn tortillas yet, but we regularly get a pack of the wheat tortillas for our tacos at home because they are quite fresh, chewy and tasty. ”

“ We used to go here weekly when we had swim lessons in the area. Excellent mexican food spot. It was always a safe bet for our kids - they loved the burritos and they are picky eaters. Potato tacos are excellent too. Nice staff too! ”

“ Street Tacos with asada are my favorite, and love they also have veggie options. They have great customer service. Good parking lot and just found out they sell their own Mezcal!! ”

“ The Madre Maiz special tacos were very, very good. I would eat them every day if I could! Staff was really friendly and just gave really positive energy. Loved it! ”

“ I love the flavor of the food, very authentic. The meats are so tender and tasty, the salsas are very flavorful and my favorite is the fresh guacamole and aguas frescas. The customer service is great, I will definitely be back. ”

“ Mexican food is my absolute favorite and this place has me HOOKED! I first tried it 3 weeks ago and I can tell you’ve been back at least 6x or more since then and I live in 25 miles away! I have had their chicken street tacos, and their chicken burrito, as well as the guacamole and everything is fantastic! My son has had the birria street tacos and he said their are the best he’s had hands down! The meat is authentic and marinated to perfection, the flavor is undeniable and so juicy! The size of portions is perfecto! They don’t skimp on anything and the cost is excellent! I love how clean they are being mindful to wear and change gloves after every order or if they go to cashier they don’t use the same gloves they just handled money with. The place is kept clean, the workers are friendly and they are not stingy with the sauces! I’ve met Mike and Nora and they are wonderful! This is my spot and I have no problems driving here to satisfy my Mexican food cravings! My son said he could live off of their food and so could I! I was just there on Sunday and I will be there today! If you are looking for some Mexican food done right that will hit all the spots your taste buds desire, Madre Maiz is the place to go! My name is Mesha and I stand by this review 10 toes down! There’s no other place I want to go to for Mexican food…They WIN! ”

“ Stopped in after a hike for tacos but leaned towards Birria Fries and an Esquite Cup, both were very good. the birria fries were prefect to grab and go and made a perfect meal. The Esquite was excellent and had flavor in every bite, the grilled corn and lime was a nice touch. Of course, Every order needs a Jamaica and this hit the spot. My only critique is the consomé was a bit too salty but everyone has a preference in consomé so I’ll leave it up for everyone else (I STILL FINISHED MINE THO) loved everything I’ll be back here often and will recommend this place to everyone on the trails. Great atmosphere and good music taste from the staff! 10/10 ”

“ Next-door to Pasadena Sandwich, which is my favorite sandwich place but they are going under renovation so I went to check out. It was great. Breakfast burrito was delicious too big or just potatoes but it was really good. The service was great and their own tortillas is awesome so I took a pack of these so I can get them to make some tacos while I watch the dodger game go check it out ”
