Most Disliked
While Maria's Mexican Restaurant enjoys mostly positive reviews, some diners mention occasional wait times during peak hours, particularly on Sundays when the restaurant fills up quickly. A few patrons have noted that the flavors can vary depending on who is cooking, leading to inconsistent dishes at times. The lack of outdoor seating might also deter some guests looking to enjoy their meals al fresco. On busy nights, especially Fridays and Saturdays, finding a parking spot can pose a bit of a challenge, despite there being lots nearby. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall experience typically remains enjoyable.

Was greeted and my order was quickly taken by friendly employee! Ordered the steak carne asada street tacos, rice & beans, and they threw in the chips and salsa. Everything was delicious! Will be back, next time thru! Thank you!

I ordered The Enchiladas with Verde Sauce; Side of Rice, beans and Pickled Jalapeño-- All of It Was Delicious 😋 As Always and I will return soon. Plus I Would Recommend This Place As A Friendly, Family Oriented Place To Eat Scrumptious Authentic Hispanic Foods.. All the Employees here have Always Been Nice and Courteous 😁! If I Had to Grade the Food They Prepare Here I Would Give Them an A++!

I passed thru here last week because I wanted some Mexican food that was near the truck stop I was parked at. I’m from Tucson Arizona, where we have some of the best Mexican food in the U.S. Anyway this restaurant is better than the food from my hometown. I left full and satisfied. Also the bill was very affordable and the service was beyond excellent!

Food was really good and generous servings! My husband wasn't real hungry so he ordered a appetizer quesadilla and it was almost more than he could eat😊 prices are very reasonable and service was great!
