    The dynamic duel!
    Diane M.

    March 2, 2025 It has been a while since I've visited this location and I was delightfully surprised at their upgrades! They have expanded and grown. NOT only did they purchase the suite next door, they constructed a sleek bar with TV screens, modernized the interior and expanded their patio seating! It was clever of them to have built an opening from the kitchen to the bar area so patrons on both sides could be served more efficiently with minimum travel for the workers. I saw this in action and it helped run things smoothly in both areas. I ordered a taco salad and they happily obliged when I requested a freshly fried tortilla shell for my entree. The cooks or owners were working with smiles even under pressure from the sudden numbers of patrons walking in for lunch. The food topped my expectations. It was better than my last two visits to other Maskadores locations. (I understand that some are franchised.) My taco salad was perfect! The tender beef barbacoa, pickled red onions, fresh toppings and dressing were fantastic! You can request for as much toppings as you'd like. Their burritos and taco salads are large enough to get two servings in each! If I didn't have to leave right after lunch, I would have loved to indulge in a margarita. The ones customers were enjoying on the patio made me jealous. The food, the lady and gentleman that were working the grill left such a positive impression on me that I would definitely return to support these two.

    Salsas are hotties!

    Ricos Tacos aqui en Maskadores Taco Shop! What a better day than Taco Tuesday for this review! Have you ever had a taco that changed your life? Yea, me either. But this one came oh so close! And don't get me started on the Margaritas that not only were adorned festively (see photo) but downright pucker up delicious. Line was long but patience pays off when you see your food being prepared right in front of you. With Sooo many terrific food choices, and additional condiments (about 15) to top the dishes, I was nervous when it was my turn. Only way to fix that was by ordering several dishes: 2 types of beef tacos, pork tacos, 2 styles of beans, rice, wet chicken burrito (fabulous!) and an ocean of Margaritas. Whew! I need one now! SALUD! which is Cheers to good health! Miss Marta was marvelous as she accommodated so many people that night. The mood was festive and all tables in house were having a terrific time. Thank you Miss Marta! Maskadores is a Lucha Libre (wrestling with masks) term which is evident throughout the many photographic posters in the restaurant. Cool! Bring your date, bring your tummy (i did) and enjoy the food and drinks! Taco's...they are not just for Tuesdays ;) *plenty of parking *lines are sometimes long but move quickly *plenty of vegetarian choices *bar area ;) As always, thank you for reading! Enjoy life while staying safe.

    So this time was not so great for a place that always IS great (except for the prices). So they have regular meat choices for their tacos and they have signature meat choices for their tacos. Signatures are like fish, and shrimp. So every time we go in and my girlfriend orders tacos, she will get a shrimp taco and then a "regular" meat one like green chili or asada or whatever. So the guy working tonight seemed to have a real problem with that. He kept telling us that if she wanted a signature meat on one she HAD to have signature meat on the other! He kept saying THATS THE POLICY and he wouldn't let it go. Then he said, "I will go ahead and do it THIS time, but don't tell anyone" Well ummmmmm, SORRY! Ima tell the entire YELP COMMUNITY! I mean, what kind of "POLICY" does he think he's slingin? Bro, give me an ala carte taco with this on it, then give me an ala carte taco with THIS on it! What's the problem?! It really sucks because this place is right next door to our kids karate studio so we often drop him at his class then go next door and eat, then grab him something to go when we leave. I probably wont go back because if we get treated like this again? Don't even get me started.

    I have had Maskadores a few times from takeout but this was the first time I had been inside. I got a wet burrito and being careful with telling them what to put in it, I finally found a combination that didn't burn my mouth off. The red and green sauces and many of the salsa are packing heat, so be warned. The food is very flavorful and for ordering, think Chipotle/Cafe Rio but much more authentic and spicy!

    Maskadores is still our local taco shop and we always bring our family and friends who are visiting as well. The food is always consistent and we really enjoy their tinga chicken and al pastor. I love how you can pick your own toppings and they are very generous; the tacos are always stacked. They updated their location and are still working on some renovations, overall the expansion looks really nice. Staff is always friendly and super fast even with long lines. Their churros are fantastic and always a must with your meal.

    Tonight our boy had karate class and right next door is Maskadores Taco Shop. I think it's safe to say this our new taco shop. Not only is it delicious, everything is very filling and always more than enough. Service is great and the place is clean never too busy. Love this restaurant and recommend.

    I'm updating a previous review, when this little taco shop just opened. It was good then... and it's great now! In fact, they've expanded into to space next door and added a bar and outdoor seating. The various meats are so tasty! Their salsas range from moderately spicy to extra spicy. They've developed quite a local following. They're generous with the taco filling and the burros are huge! Try the flour tortilla tacos. And tonight we had mariachis!

    Red Chicken Hard shell tacos

    Red Chicken Hard shell tacos. It was a 10 minute wait in line to order, but that's the price you have to pay at lunch time for some fabulous tacos with a smile.

I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

    GREAT Food, But Apparently Service Is Now a Scavenger Hunt…read more This is a tough review to write because the food at The Mexicano is still A+. Unfortunately, this week's experience made it impossible to keep my previous 5-star rating. We stopped in around 1:30 p.m., when there were literally maybe six other people in the entire restaurant. Somehow, we managed to have three different waiters because each one became preoccupied with something else. At one point, we had to get up and go to the bar ourselves to ask for things. Nothing says "full-service restaurant" quite like having to become your own waiter. And then there are the recent changes to the menu and happy hour. Happy hour for individual tacos is no longer seven days a week--it's now Tuesday which has been reduced to one $3 taco. One. Taco. Refer to menu I've uploaded. I have no idea if this is an attempt to cut costs (there hasn't been a change in ownership), but if that's the strategy, I worry it's going to be a case of saving a few dollars while losing a lot of customers. Cutting back on the things that made people love coming here--great service, variety, and an appealing happy hour--doesn't exactly feel like a recipe for success. To be clear: this review has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the food. The food remains excellent. A+. The issue is the overall experience and the noticeable changes to what used to make The Mexicano such a great place to visit. We've had consistently great experiences here in the past, which is why I originally gave it 5 stars. I genuinely hope they reconsider these changes, because I'd much rather be writing another 5-star review than updating this one. Great food + increasingly nonexistent service + a disappearing happy hour = a restaurant that may be eating its own lunch.

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
