The skirt steak at this Arizona restaurant was just ok- the restaurant got slammed at I’m sure the kitchen was overwhelmed- staff were pleasant but busy. , Tonight was a satisfactory dining experience. While it didn't quite reach the heights of excellence, the dish showcased a fair preparation of the meat. The steak had a good flavor though but it could have been more tender. And served medium as requested The accompanying sides were ok but not what was ordered. We wanted rice but got mashed potato’s. If you're seeking a straightforward, no-frills skirt steak option this was ok. Others at table had chicken in lemon sauce ok fish dish over rice- The seafood spaghetti was ok but minus the promised lobster- While it may not be the most exceptional culinary experience, it provides a option for friends to meet land have an satisfactory meal.

My husband and came in for an early dinner. He got the Mahi Mahi and I got the rack of lamb. Both were cooked very well and it was very enjoyable. We would definitely come again!

Reservations recommended. Inside atmosphere comfortable with additional seating on a covered patio. Attentive servers and staff that are happy to answer questions. Food well prepared and plated in a appealing way. Full bar but lacks draft beer however good selection of canned and bottled beer.

Love this little restaurant! Ate here last year while on a golf trip at Canoa Ranch. The food was so delicious that we came back again this year. the staff is very friendly and accommodating of our group of 8. Will be back again next year!

A delightful place to stop for great food, kind and helpful staff, and a great atmosphere for a little lunch or a little dancing on the veranda.

I don't know if they have it every night but if the live music is playing it's ridiculously loud inside the dining room. My elderly parents are a little hard of hearing and we couldn't even carry on a conversation.

Parking: Plenty of parking spaces, they share a huge lot with other businesses.

My last time at Maria's because of poor quality food. It used to be much better, maybe it has new owners.

Great meal. $30 special for 2. One appetizer to share, 2 entrées and 2 desserts. The Teriyaki chicken bowl was great and just enough.

Maria’s has become a hit or miss lately. Yesterday was another miss. Will be awhile before I return for lunch or dinner.

It's a "Watering Hole" pure and simple. We had to eat somewhere the day before Cinco de Mayo and 40 miles from the Mexican Boarder. They had some specials pitched towards the Mexican holiday. They weren't that bad. Neither of us drink so it was a little bit awkward. As it was lunch time, we both had burgers which were good and cooked as ordered. The menu was very small. The kitchen was good and quick and the waitress was polite. I do not know if the small menu was an artifact of Cinco de Mayo. They are more pitched to "The Ladies Who Lunch" Regards, OldeBear
