Quick service, great food, great chips and salsa. Chorizo burritos and shredded beef tacos fantastic. Nice atmosphere.

Unfortunately, it's gone way down since we last visited a few years ago. Inexcusable to not even refill a customer's water. Food was bone dry. Used to be my family's favorite place. We won't be returning.?

I gave 4 stars because there’s always room for improvement, I have the number 16 the steak chimichanga and what made it so good is the fact that they cut the steak up in really small pieces there so you don’t have to fight with the steak while chewing / eating it Great idea to whomever decided this over steak strips … Horchata was great consistency from beginning to end, wouldn’t be surprised if it were made in house… Will return would recommend to everyone…

This restaurant is one of a kind. Anything you order is made fresh and is delicious. They have big servings of menudo and big burritos. Enchiladas are the best also. It gets packed because everyone knows it’s a great place to eat and good service. So patience is required but they will get you seated as soon as they can!!

Great food, lousy service. Only 2 other tables besides my husband and I. Young dark haired girl took our order, brought our order and that was it. Never came back to ask if we needed anything. After trying to flag her down for the tortillas she forgot and some chips, a blonde lady finally saw us and came over. She brought them quickly but forgot to bring us our chips. Tried flagging her down for a side of tortillas and we never succeeded getting her attention. Loved coming here but we won't be back. Our food got cold waiting. On the tortillas. Also tried calling the restaurant twice while we sat there and heard the phone ringing but they never answered. Poor customer service ever! I would understand if they were busy but it was empty, no excuse. Today is Wednesday, 1-26-22. 6-7pm.

?What happened to the avocado!? Ordered a milanesa torta ? with a little bit of beans only and pieces of avocado instead of the guacamole. Took my order and was disappointed at work. A lot of beans, no avocado pieces, and meat chewy. ?

This place has great food period. It was nice to see the place not packed, had 2 tables with clients. We were sat by the young blond haird lady. I did notice the older lady laughing with a gal that was sitting down eating in the back of the restaurant. Then 10 minutes later 3 additional tables get occupied. We didn't get our chips nor drinks yet. For some reason the young gal tells the older Mexican lady because they don't have names, that the table 10 was first. At this point I said no big deal didn't address the fact that we were first. So the older lady with white strips finally comes over to take our drink orders but since we had been sitting waiting for someone to attends us we put in our full order. Again we waited, every table after us had their drinks and chips ahead of us. Then the older lady sat in the back with her food on break. It's frustrating by this time. She didn't relay the message to get our drinks for us to neither of the 2 younger gals that were serving. The blond gal saw that I had a question asked what I needed and I said we need our drinks. They got one order wrong and ut was fixed then the other order was burned and you think they came around to ask if we needed refills?? I had to get up and ask. It's sad to say if the owner isn't present things don't flow the same without her. I was very disappointed, burnt food was compensated either, not busy enough for terrible customer service.

Best authentic Mexican cuisine I've had in a long time. Obviously lovingly prepared from quality ingredients and great recipes. In the top 5 Mexican restaurants I've ever eaten at, and two of those are long gone.

Maria's use to have really good fresh food. The last time my family dined in over a year ago, 2 of the 4 of us left with upset stomachs (the beans tasted weird, so we didn't eat them). We recently decided to give it another try and order to-go. The woman on the phone was very rude. It was very hard to communicate with her in BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH, which made it very difficult when ordering. I do want to give them another try before I give up coming here.

I love this place always for the chile verde burrito my ultimate favorite reasonable prices and good service
