Taquería El Maizal 2 — Restaurant in South Houston

For the longest time we have wanted to try the Trumpo tacos place in Pasadena as we have heard good things from friends about it. Finally this weekend it became a reality. We piled into our vehicle and headed to go try these tacos. We even invited friends who had earlier been here to meet us there. The restaurant is simple and the invitation is the big hunk of meats on the outside. We got our drinks and then began the decision of what to get. The Trumpo was a no brainer. We also go with some beef fajita, Tripe and some trumpo with avocado and cheese. That was all we came here to get. The drinks were good. I got the Jamaica (Hibiscus) which was not too sweet and had a different taste. The trumpo was definitely the star of the evening. The plain shaved meat(Pork) was perfect and though I did add the green sauce and lime it was just simple goodness which really does not need any help. The tacos are small but don’t let that fool you, you will be full soon. The other tacos with the cheese and avocado did not add much to the flavor but if you wanted to get more bang for your buck you would get that. Definitely a...

The food was ok, the trompo is cooked outside. I tried the charro beans just not into them no flavor and had pieces of weenie. I ordered French fries, and they were great, along with a Joya de Manzana. I will try it again sometime in the future. I tried it out for the second time. Service was awful, our waitress took our order although she kept forgetting my drink it finally came 20 minutes after arriving. My partners order finally came about 30 minutes later, as patrons arrived. They took their orders their drinks and food arrived. I'm like, where is my food by this time an hour has come and gone. I finally go to the cashier and just say forget my order. My partner had finished his food, so now our waitress comes to me and says the cook just forgot your order. I can't understand. It wasn't the kitchen personnel who forgot it was the waitress she was so all over the place she only heard one person's order, not mine. Food might have been good if both our orders had arrived, but the experience was awful, and I...

The food is delicious the best tacos in my opinion but the service is terrible . Im the kind of person to dine in if it’s tacos because i like them hot and fresh . The reason why my 1 star is because of the service the worst service EVER there is this one waitress short with glasses she forgets everything takes your order half way and brings the food cold at times its looks like shes just running in circles doing absolutely nothing so I dont see where her stress is from . As soon as you come in the tables are dirty the floor is dirty . This is my experience on a Saturday and Sunday morning . It is packed but its not as busy for the waitress to give her worst service ever. Also i believe the owners are there their whole family sometimes seen kids men women and its a shame that they see the workers struggling and they dont do anything to help. There is one waitress shes tall and skinny i cant complain about her you see her attending her tables cleaning her tables and even having to attend to the...
