We were absolutely PLEASED & SATISFIED with what we ordered! The Chile verde burrito was Exactly what I was craving & it hit every point for me I just asked for sour cream! Ambiance was cool. Very family friendly, maybe 2 families in there before us & more people showed up after we arrived. I love the salsa bar they have! & ALSO, DON'T FORGET IT IS ALSO A BAKERY!! So you can stop by for some fresh pandulce/sweet bread. Thank you Chaguito's for making my come back experience & my husband's first experience a good one!

I LOVE La Cocina de Doña Maggie! My friend and I were heading south back down from a trip to the…read moreSequoias and were hungry for breakfast. We're SO glad we came across Doña Maggie's! There is ample parking in their lot once you arrive. The entrance and decor is BEAUTIFUL--so many lovely cultural pieces. The place is filled with the sounds of wonderful Mexican music playing in the background. The service is FANTASTIC. Our waitress was kind, quick, and very friendly. You get chips and salsa as soon as you're seated. My friend and I ordered breakfast burritos, which came with bacon, ham, cheese, egg, and potatoes. FIRE burrito! Also, they come with two salsas--one is delicious and one is SPICYYYY. Beware! Their agua fresca de pepino y limón was refreshing, their restrooms are clean, and you can even purchase other wares from their store. Overall, a GREAT choice to stop at if you're in Porterville or passing through. :)

Stopped by La Cocina de Doña Maggie and decided to go with 3 tacos gobernador. The tacos were…read morejuicy, not dry like you sometimes get elsewhere. You could tell they were made fresh, and whomever is the cook, knows how to season well. Service was on point and super attentive. They checked on me at least 4 times to make sure everything was good, which honestly made the whole experience even better. It's rare to see that kind of consistency in small local spots. The only thing I felt was missing was a more savory salsa to match those tacos. The one they gave me seemed like a salsa de chile de árbol -- spicy with good flavor, but I wished I had an extra salsa option that leaned more on the smoky or tangy side to balance out the richness of the gobernador. The place was quiet, comfortable, and relaxed -- no loud music or chaos, just a good spot to sit back and enjoy your food. Definitely worth a visit again. Next time, I might ask if they have any different salsas to try with those tacos.

The service was wonderful and the hostess/waitress that took my order was very sweet. I was surprised that it took over 30 minutes for my to go order to be completed. The two rolls I ordered (the Volcano and the Kamikaze roll ) were good, but definitely not as good as I was expecting. It was probably just me, but I eat sushi all the time and I was a little disappointed. I will have to go back and try them one more time and make sure it wasn't just bad choices, but there was little to no flavor, in what I feel should have been a flavor bomb. I will say that the restaurant is gorgeous. I love the waterfall outside as you are walking in. And the outdoor patio is beautiful too.

I get it, food is made to order, but I couldn't imagine if it had been busy. Once the food arrived (we ordered off the full menu), meals were small yet decent. One comment was "three could've been more than 4 prawns on the pasta", and my chicken caprese sandwich was flavorless. The salmon plate was mostly mashed potatoes.

It's located in the heart of the downtown Porterville. The downtown is the cutest with its charming brick sidewalks and modern street lamps with an old fashion look. The restaurant has a secure back parking lot with an entrance. Or you can enter from the front, the street parking is angled lots so no parallel to parking fussiness. They were are able to accommodate large parties if you make reservations in advance. My large-ish group were even able to get separate checks. Appreciate that. Our waitress did a great job handling our table and her other tables. We were immediately served our drinks and complimentary focaccia bread and olive oil n vinegar was brought to the table. I ordered the chicken parmigiana ($20) and requested no mozzarella cheese on top. The waitress informed me that there is some parmesan cheese sprinkled on the spaghetti noodles. Very attentive of her to ask. The plate and food came out hot. The chicken filet was thick but all so tender and moist. Nice amount of breading and without the mozzarella on top just like I requested. Excellent. The serving size was ample. The spaghetti sauce was tasty with a touch of sweetness. Not harsh tasting at all. The noodles were cooked to a perfect doneness. Having a HFCS aversion, I forgot to ask about the sauce but I had no effects. So I'm going go out on a limb and say the sauce has no HFCS.
