Recommendation: dishes with beef / shrimpHighlight: outdoor decorationsMy friend likes this restaurant. I ordered paella and she ordered Churrasco a la Pobre. The taste of paella is ok and I also like the shrimps.Their outdoor decorations are beautiful. It is like a small garden near the street. My favorite is the wall painting of sunflowers in front of the parking lot.

Service needs improvement. I sat at the bar without being asked about my order for a long time until I asked for the menu. The food came in a decent time, but my drinks were not, and I wasn’t asked if I wanted more drinks or if I needed something else. I would give it one star if it weren’t because of the food.

Took my wife and family their for Mother’s Day. Was very disappointed with my overall experience. The staff was very friendly and accommodating but the food took very long to come out and when it did the food wasn’t very good to honest. Not sure if they changed chefs but I was not impressed with the food and I have heard good things about Maria’s. Not sure if I will ever go back again.

We had a reservation which they took us on time. We ordered one appetizer took 45 min. Our food then took 30 min after that.The appetizer was suppose to have shrimp and crab on top of nachos. Hardly anything in it but cheese and looked like small minced seafood.The rice had no flavor for both the mix white rice with beans and the yellow rice.The Mahi was ok. Nothing to rave about.The salmon looked great but was ok.The kids steak meal was good my son said & enchiladas my other son said was goodWe had 5 different servers. Never seen ours again.We must of got a refill on water 10 times but no food or even asked if we want more nachos that they gave us when we sat down. We also glanced at other tables that sat down around when we did looked like the same issues.We were so done with everything, we didn’t bother ordering dessert and went down the street for something else.Everyone was nice great staff clean place but the food… this is the second time we tried it and still wasn’t what we expected unfortunately.

Disappointed. Appetizers were good but thats it. For the main course I ordered the chefs special fish tacos. And it came with a tiny amount of fried fish in each of three petite tacos. And my friends steak was really not good and barely edible. A lively little place but I would never go back. Ever.

Very disappointed. We are new to the area and heard this place was good . If you enjoy authentic Mexican food this is not the place! The chips were reheated , salsa was flavorless , tacos , burritos and quesadillas are an insult . I give them one star because Margaritas were ok . Service was mediocre

I was taken here with a friend for a business lunch and OMG!!! I love everything about this place....the tablecloths, the empanadas were cooked to perfection, the pear margarita was refreshing, guacamole was creamy and fresh, the shredded pork and chicken quesadillas were so flavorful!!! I was blown away by this place and so glad to have found it.....the cappuccino and the tres leches cake was the final, amazing touch! Hats off to Maria and her wonderful staff, I will be back many times over!!

To be honest the work of the staff they are not very organized,I waited table for a very long time, but in the end, when I was finally seated, the waiter did not come right away.Also food was served for a very long time and drinks too.But I want to note that food was excellent there.

Originally I would give this place 5 stars because the food is amazing! … but service has dwindled with each visit. We constantly find ourselves looking for absentee waiters for things asked, even just basic water. If you want high end cuisine look no further, but bring triple the amount of patience.

Very slow service. We ordered takeout and it took over an hour to receive. Great food but their service needs to get up to speed.
