Easily the worst Mexican food we had on our recent trip to California. Tasteless chile relleno, watery margarita, weird sour cream (with maybe chives or something mixed in?) The food came out really, really fast, but it wasn't very warm. So disappointing.
Came all the way from Canada. Wanted Sergio's in Glendora, but they closed down during covid :(I will say this place was no Sergio's.the chips were stale, the regular salsa was a little bland for my taste. The red salsa was super spicey and the green salsa was chunky and looked appealing. Tasted all right. Ordered 2 drink. One spicey mango margarita and one margarita with a corona sticking out of it. Super tasty. We order 2 carne asada soft shell tacos with rice and beans. The beans were excellent! The carne asada was actually very disappointing it just tasted like shredded beef.On the other hand service was excellent. Everyone was so nice and kind and helpful. I assume they all split tips. Since everyone seemed to be doing everything. it didnt seem like they had set sections.
Love going to Max’s I’ll recommend everything. Food and alcohol drinking are right on point.
family restaurant excellent food and always friendly staff
The decor is pretty cool, two floors and the customer service is excellent. I had the carne asada and pork pozole and they were both delicious.The bar side looks great and fun at night. I definitely recommend this spot.
There for huevos rancheros. Chips were stale. Chili Verde was not true chili Verde and way to much green sauce which overwhelmed the eggs. Rice was way too salty. I could not eat it. Beans so so. Waitress was nil as far as service. She never came back to our table to see if we needed anything. Had to go up and get my own ticket. Consequently, I left NO tip. I will not reward for not doing their job. The place was not crowded as it was only 11:30 or so. I was there the night of the 12th and the same food was excellent, fresh and piping hot. Left a huge tip that night.
Their menu can satisfy anyones cravings, especially a large group and mine most times. Service is always top notch and fun, which is important to me. Places get busy and shorthanded, especially these days, but if the servers can keep a fun attitude, we should as well.With such an extensive menu, it is hard to ensure the quality of each dish and I always keep that in mind, which is why I still give four stars.Today we ordered the carnitas plate, chicken milanesa plate, chicharron taco (out of curiosity) and table side guacamole. First off, the guac on the plates is a waste for anyone who does not like onions. I get it, need to make batches, but even the waitress says she can’t handle raw onions and my GF can’t either, so why limit that clientele? Well, we ordered the table side guacamole at $13 extra, so we can omit the onions, maybe that is the goal, but does not make me happy. At least give me the option to order something other than the pre made Guac on the side so it’s not a waste, especially if I order the table side guac! Otherwise food is usually pretty good. Today, Carnitas was very dry and the “chicharron” taco was really just a drier version of the dry carnitas, so not the best day for that. Chicken milanesa, which is hard to find was very good and the fried potatoes was a great side dish/snack. Not sure why my carnitas dinner plate didn’t get it, but happy my GF’s dinner plate did.This place is always fun, food is usually pretty good and they welcomed us with our dog which was cool (originally came by for take out). Give them a try. Definitely worth it.“ See you tomorrow? Why not!” As the servers would say.
I am Mexican and this is not Mexican cuisine. To start off we ordered drinks. I had a tequila sunrise and my husband had a Long Island. They were SUPER strong and you could taste the cheap tequila used in the drink. You know that cheap gut burning kind you secretly drank with your friends as a high schooler .. yup that one. We asked for another drink but instead were told that ALL their drinks are strong … okay… we were brought over extra orange juice and extra soda instead, to gradually add and dilute our drinks!! Who does that?!? So we went along with their experiments and sipped and added and sipped and added. Nothing helped. It was the worst drink I’ve ever had.Our food soon arrived and we were optimistic that it would be a better experience than our drinks had been, since it looked decent enough. Wrong! The salsa on the green burrito was very lemony and the red sauce burrito had no taste and had been microwaved, hence the dried on sauce. Once we finally got into the burrito it was equally disappointing. The “steak” is practically ground meat and had obviously gone from freezer to cooktop; as there was a mix of meat temperatures in every bite. To say I was dissatisfied is being polite.This place obviously targets the heavy drinking crowds that could care less about the food quality. And to top it off they charged us $62 for 2 drinks we didn’t drink and 2 microwaved, kinda hot kinda cold burrito plates.Would not recommend this place to any sober individual.
Great food, great ambiance. Drinks were a Lil to strong but overall great place
Always great pozole. Go large or go home.
