Let’s talk about the dishes! The "La Torta" has garnered accolades for being one of the largest and most delicious sandwiches around. Misty Johnson dubbed it a must-try, while her husband couldn’t help but marvel at its size. And for those craving a generous feast, the "Nachos Liberty" bursting with beef and shredded chicken is so flavorful it could easily satisfy three hungry bellies! It’s this kind of hearty portioning that exemplifies Maestro's dedication to a fulfilling dining experience.
And if you happen to find yourself there on a Thursday, be sure to indulge in their barrera tacos—a specialty that Doug Underwood declares unmissable. It’s just another testament to the kitchen’s creativity and attention to detail.

“ Wish I could give this even more stars! Lalo is a delight, really want above and beyond looking after our boisterous group. The food was excellent, as were the margaritas. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! ”
“ Great food and service. A little tricky to find but plenty of parking across the street. Excellent portions and the best Mexican food in Portsmouth. Highly recommend! *This part is just for management: Only thing I would change was the wait staff seemed kinda confused, they need to have assigned tables to fix this. We got asked what we wanted to drink twice and twice again for our food order. This makes the restaurant feel disorganized. Other than that the service was excellent and friendly. They did a great job but need guidance. We will stop back again for sure when we are in the area. ”
“ My husband said..Dare I say one of the biggest sandwiches I’ve ever ordered la torta! My Nacho's Liberty with beef and shredded chicken was very flavorful and would feed 3! We will be back for a 3rd visit! ”
“ Excellent and Authentic Mexican food, not to mention the service was stellar. We moved out here 6 years ago from the Southwest and have yearned for good Southwest Mexican food, but only finding what can be best described as “TexMex”. Until now! This will be our go to from now on, and we are sure visiting family will agree. Es mui bueno! ”
