    Torta de asada
    Natali C.

    I wish I could give it more stars honestly. This looks like a nice little spot that has a lot of potential. My family stopped here while traveling through Porterville. The service was great, the employees were friendly and welcoming. The food was pretty bland. It was definitely not bad but not great. I would give this place another chance for sure but I definitely was disappointed.

    Carnitas burrito

    Holy wow!! We stopped by Maximo's for a quick lunch and boy were we pleasantly surprised!! Great tasting and huge portions! The store was nice and clean with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Their chips are clearly homemade there and were fantastic! Carnitas burrito was flavorful and huge. And the carne asada nachos were absolutely spot on...lots of meat, nice amount of beans, fresh slices of avocado...so good! Definitely will return.

    Chicken Cabbage Burrito Bowl (sans salsa)

    Love the chicken cabbage bowl! Servings are huge. Takes awhile however so if you are in a rush, plan ahead!

    3 salsas.  From top to bottom, verde, roja and Jalapeno

    Porterville has an abundance of Mexican restaurants. So there are many choices. When Maximos first opened, the prices seemed high. So after a visit or two I ignored this place for years. Today, when looking on their website, the prices seem reasonable and I gave it another try. They have a 3-taco deal for $5.99 on their website. I called for a take out and they charged me $6.99. Not too much of a big deal in the big scheme of things. I had the carne asada with everything on it. I asked for all 3 salsas. There was an jalapeno cilantro that had a good kick. Both the salsa roja (red) and salsa verde (green) were also superb in taste, mouth feel and appearance. The carne asada tacos were also very good. Excellent service. I will be going back. See my pictures.

    This is the best mexican food we have had in a while. We arrived around 1:30pm on a Sunday. Staff were very friendly, even though it was super busy! We ordered a quesadilla (carnitas), asada fries, 2 sodas, chips, salsa, and guacamole and tres leches cake. 31 dollars out the door and I must say, the happiest 31 dollars I've spent in a while. This food is top notch, I mean moaning from satisfaction between bites GOOD! So many flavors I could feel the dopamine pumping in my brain! The carnitas quesadilla was the best carnitas I've had in years. Super cheesy, greasy, but in a good way. The carne asada fries were crispy, the carne asada cooked to perfection. The chips were fresh and crispy and the guacamole salsa was so good we went back and purchased more after the meal. The portions are large enough to fill a grown man's belly. My wife couldn't finish hers so we brought it home. It was so good she went back inside and tipped the staff. We will be coming back again and again, guaranteed.

    Tapatio Man!

    This place was really great. I'm supper impressed with the quality of meat. They put a good portion of asada in my asada fries and it wasn't junk meat, I didn't find a single piece of fat or grizzle on my plate - it was ALL meat. The fries were super crispy, everything was well seasoned and very fresh. There were signs posted that prices had gone up because meat has gotten expensive, but I didn't think it was at all unreasonable for what they gave me. I was only visiting town so won't be able to visit often, but I'll be back!

    Update your hours and your workers. The gentleman there are RUDE!

    Update your hrs at the door and your workers. I try to go when the Women work due to the Men there being rude. They need to learn customer service....

    No vegetarian options. Very disappointed in the lack of healthy options. This place is a throwback.

    For fast food, it's very good. Fresh ingredients, good prices. Support local (better than Chipotle!)
