Maritza's Mexican Food Restaurant

I was a teenager the first time I went to this restaurant. Recently I asked my guy if he'd ever gone there. He's now a Wednesday regular (that's when they have Carnitas). He picked some up and brought them over for dinner tonight. They are indescribably delicious. I can't believe I never tried them before. He says there's no other place that makes them so good.

Maritzas is a long standing favorite of mine. We have been going for years. We have yet to order something that is not awesome. Carmen and the whole family are kind, welcoming and great people. If you are looking to support a local, family run establishment, this is a no-brainer. Affordable and consistent.

Nice Mexican food but quite pricey (carne asada around $20 for that plate) but they have other cheaper plates and options. The paper plate got sliced through while I was slicing the beef steak but the food was overall quite nice. Especially enjoyed the guacamole and salsa and putting everything on the tortilla to make taco.

Get ready for some authentic Mexican food. This little off the beaten path place has got true Mexican flavors. Eating these tacos was like going back in time to my days of home cooked tacos. The salsa is homemade and delicious. A little kick to bring some zing to your meal. The staff are friendly. We really enjoyed our two taco plate with beans and rice.

Maritza’s is our favorite Mexican Restaurant. My brother loves to come for Carnitas Wednesdays as so many others. We dine in and many of the to go orders seemed to be the Wednesday Carnitas. I like many of the dishes, taco plates, enchiladas and other combo plates. Our favorite thing that brings us here is the homemade salsa that Carmen makes every day. You can see her chopping the chili peppers and blending the delicious salsa. Many people also comment on the their salsa. The location is a little hidden in the south west area of Clairemont off of Mt Acadia in a little strip mall. The building is also set back off Mt Acadia so you need to drive to the back of parking lot entrance. It is worth going there. It is a hidden gem of Mexican Food and many of the customers are regulars which Carmen knows most by name and she knows what they normally order.She and her mom , also named Carmen are so nice and attentive. If you haven’t been there , it is a must try, highly recommended.
