    I love this spot. My partner and I go here all the time. They have it all... kind employees, burritos are huge/consistent, their sauces are fantastic and the prices will keep me coming back for more every time. They even make a mean burger!! (I was feeling adventurous) Also, I can't wait to one day try out their breakfast menu.

    Small mom n pop shop : Food - spectacular; I ended up eating a little bit of everyone's plate and it didn't miss. We ordered the huevos rancheros, the chilaquiles and chorizo breakfast burrito all in my broken Spanish(but mostly English) . I didn't feel judged haha . The service - amazing, crazy for NO WAIT time. Clean tables and floors. Price very fair for how much they give you. This place deserves so much more love and attention I had to leave a review We had food right across the street other day (cantina) and it was "meh". The price was twice the amount. Just look at the quality of this place as well ! This hole in the wall restaurant is truly a diamond

    Second time having Mauricio's & it was even better than the first! My carne asada burrito was hearty & made with fresh ingredients. It tasted so good, I barely needed any salsa! Everyone working there was very friendly & I loved the fact that they had seating outside. Highly recommend.

    Found this gem through Yelp reviews. The parking was tough as the parking lot is small and only goes in one direction. We ordered a carnitas burrito and the meat was so flavorful. The rolled tacos were tasty and hit the spot. The salsa selection was hard to try them all since they are only on select tables. We got churros and chips to go with the meal and they were perfect. Would go again and try more of the menu!

    Came back today to try the chorizo breakfast plate and I'm mad at myself for never getting this before! So good! You get chorizo in scrambled eggs, beans with cheese, their home fried potatoes, and corn tortillas. Such a great way to start a weekend morning!

    The first 24 hours back in the States, and I had to get really good Mexican food. I had their Carne Asada burrito, and my husband opted for a breakfast burrito. Bacon, potato, eggs, and cheese. This burrito really hit the spot! I am so full I skipped lunch and dinner! They offer two hot sauces, green and red. Both are delicious but are not spicy. It's for the spice adverse or light weights. Portion sizes are really big, and they do not skimp on meat and fillings. She even brought it out to our table! Very good service and food.

    Stopped here for some rolled tacos today after my son got his hair cut across the street at Dink's. The rolled tacos were chicken, beef and potatoes. The tacos were crispy and the meat was tender! The meat also had flavor. The tacos were slathered with guacamole and cheese which tasted amazing! I also got a side of creama (extra charge). Service was quick! I was there with my son and the tacos were out to us to the outdoor patio area within 10 minutes. Ambiance outside was peaceful and lovely. Inside it is a little darker. I'd come back for sure!
