La Mazorca Market

The best carnitas in town hands down. Fresh tortillas to top it all off too. They got some other good food as well.

I come every once in a while on my lunch break always good and delicious never no compliant. This time the lady I never seen try to tell us we can only get 1 meat in our burrito when we always get 2 the guy over herd and said they can get 2 then she gave us a lot of beans and rice very little meet was very disappointed don’t know if I will ever go back I guess we shall see!

My co worker and I order a burrito half meat type… the lady there was rude and said we cant do that anymore?
We have been here before and enjoyed excelent service and excelent burritos.
A cook in the back over heard and told the lady make them thier half and half burritos the way they want.
She was visably upset and barked to her assitant load up with rice and beens and very little meat?
I understand spanish and was disapointed by her actions.
I dont know if i will ever go back.
I am new to this but felt the need to say some thing.
Same on you mazorca market.

The food is «eh»! Still haven’t made up my mind about it because there is so much inconsistency with the taste. I know that food made from scratch will vary «slightly» each time you make a different batch but this place most certainly changes their recipes very often. Their tamales started off tasting good, then alright, then just plain nasty! Their menudo was decent (I have high standards for that and no one has met them) and now its not! The carnitas are tasty but sometimes they’re overcooked. The chicharron is almost always overcooked with a few pieces being spared and you cant even choose your pieces so forget about weeding out the good stuff, so you’re sure to get the burned chicha! And don’t even think of asking them for the good stuff because you’ll get eaten alive! So there, I wont be returning here again!

1:30pm on Saturday, its a little out of the way but the food is great, tried the buche, lengua and asada tacos and it was all good. They even throw in some roasted onions and peppers, parking is small and eating there can be challenge but it is well worth it. If you are lucky they will still have hot tortillas that you can take home and their meat prices are good.

If you at all follow my reviews you know I like Tacos. Not those Fake ass taco bell tacos but real tacos. Sometimes I get these cravings and I just can’t help it, I got to have them. This latest episode hit me at 9am, actually sooner and this was my first available opportunity. I hit up one of the most consistent average/​good taco spot, Tijuana Tacos. I’ve noticed them open at this time and I knew what I would be getting. One thing bothered me though… No all you can eat bean with mystery meat and hot dog. I equate this to having a cheeseburger without the cheese and it is not going to happen, not on my watch.
I panicked for a minute. I knew of one other place, actually a few but they would have been out of the way. So I finally scratched the itch. I went to La Mazorca. This place had caught my eyes for a few years. Not so much for its location or its building architecture, not so much on any of these. They make masa, so I assume they have fresh tortillas. This is the floor plan of a good taco. Without a good tortilla a taco is just meat with shit on it that you eat with a fork, hence not a taco, I don’t know what you call that?
I will say one thing. The outside of La Mazorca it does not overpromise! The carneceria/​taco is hidden around the corner and took me a minute to find and this place is tiny. I was kind of tempted to leave but the guy had already seen me and I think It would bother me forever knowing I was so close to finally adding or omitting La Mazorca as one of my go to places, after all I had I high hopes… fresh tortillas.
I never really found out if the tortillas were fresh or not and it probably didn’t matter since they dipped them in oil, not a fan. I’ve had too many good tacos that eliminated this process and I don’t feel it really ads anything other than greasy hands and fat/​calories. The meat was just kind of sitting there and mashed up and cut up. At one point I really couldn’t tell which I was eating and it tasted the same and I saw him get it from two different trays.
One good thing did come out of this experience; I no longer pass this place in wonder of the greatness that I could possibly behold. I will say this on its behalf, I talked to a few people about this place and after I was shamed and reprimanded for my negative commentary, I was assured that their tacos are acutally good and it was my fault for going so early and eating yesterday’s leftover meat and to top it off I was told I wouldn’t understand because I’m not a real Mexican anyway. Either way I guess it’s just more tacos for them… and anyone else who doesn’t heed my advice/​warnings/​threats!
