Maximiliano’s Mexican Food — Restaurant in Twentynine Palms

FANTASTIC FOOD!! 1st the table salsa is perfect. If you know you know. That alone is a fair judge of a place's food. My husband and I can't get enough of their chili rellenos! Expertly cooked.

I applaud restaurants that support authenticity because it will draw customers from farther away who are seeking the real deal.

I totally recommend this place when passing...

Homemade, thick tortilla chips made with flour tortillas were a nice difference. The rice was delicately spiced, with better flavor than your average Mexican restaurant rice - I thought I detected a hint of cinnamon but could have imagined it. Not a morsel was left on our plates. We appreciated the...
