You have to try ! The larger tortillas de maíz are delicious. I’m always on the hunt for good carnitas and this place does it very well. The barbacoa and bistec is also fantastic. The taco plate is enormous and the beans are delicious. We also tried the flautas and guacamole and 10/10 as well. Good variety of aguas frescas too. Owner is very nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Restaurant also has Mexican goodies to purchase!

Ordered 1 pound of barbacoa took about 25 minutes to get my order. Don't understand why the long wait. Usually it's an item that's always ready. On the other hand the barbacoa is very delicious. No excessive grease and the flavor is on point. The only reason it was worth the wait.

I get the chicharron and the tostadas from them, chicharron is always crispy and warm their tostadas are real flat, not greasy. I vome home heat up refried beans on top, cut some lettuce and tomato and put it on top Nothing better, fast and nutritious and cheap...I love cheap thrills The service is Great!! But that's no surprise, they are Great people. I will try their tamales next time

I recently visited Tortilleria El Maizito for the first time, and it was a pleasant experience overall. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, making it an enjoyable place to dine. I ordered the chilaquiles, and while they weren’t the best I’ve ever had, they definitely earned a spot in my top ten. The dish was flavorful, though a bit soggy for my taste. However, the generous portion sizes more than made up for it. One of the standout aspects of my visit was the excellent service. The staff was attentive and made sure everything was just right, adding to the positive dining experience.
