I've only ordered take out from here. I usually order the quesabirria tacos and pupusas and they are amazing especially for the price. I would highly recommend anyone to stop by and try the food there.

Our family has been graced to have María food for the last 4 years - since she had a food truck. She and her staffs are always soooo sweet.

If you want to support a hard working women then she is the one. Her food is always a smack.

My go to are Quesabirria, Tapatio birria and special plates * don’t miss her consume (the best I’ve ever had)

Give her shop or truck a try.

Muchas gracias María 😁

Mis mejores deseos!!

The salsa was bland and runny. I ordered the chimichanga, and it had no flavor. It was the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I ate very little of it. Don't bother eating here. I normally don't leave bad reviews, but it was $50 wasted. Instead, try 9th Street South Taco that's in the same parking lot. It was amazing!

Average to poor Mexican food. If you want salsa and chips there is an extra charge. Most Mexican restaurants offer free salsa and chips.

First time visiting this local favorite. Portions were decent, but was surprised at the lack of beer choices. I usually order Mexican Beers with this type of meal, but not much for authentic beer choices here. Ended up drinking a domestic beer. The server never came back to check for drink refills.

Their food used to be so good, but the last couple times we went, it was disappointing. They charge too much for a little basket of chips and two tiny holders of salsa. The salsa, con queso and guacamole were bland. They no longer put sour cream or guacamole on your dishes and if you ask for them, it's $3 extra per item! They also raised their rates, like everyone else, but we didn't feel it was worth it. The servers are very nice, but they need to go back to how it used to be. Change isn't always the best thing. You tend to lose your repeat customers.

This was a very enjoyable meal. The flavors were very good and the plate size was good. Prices are reasonable. probably the only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 rating was having to pay for chips and salsa to start and the automatic adding of a fee for using a credit card. I did not see that on the menu, so felt that it was a surprise exra charge.

Found a rock in my re fried beans while biting into it. The chimichanga had no sauce and was very dull. I called the restaurant and they answered and put the phone on the table and ignored me before I could even say hello, I gave them the benefit of doubt and tried to call them back only to be sent to a voice mail that has not been set up. So I called back 2 hours later and they did the same thing. So they don’t care that they have rocks in their food and they don’t care for customers calls. Before you eat there you should contact your lawyer in advance.

We have wanted to try Maria's for months, but they are closed on Sundays, which is when we typically go to lunch. Finally went last Saturday. The place was busy and they had 1 waitress and a busboy working. They were both pleasant though. The two of us each had 2 margaritas and a combo platter. The Chile Relleno was really good, the Chimichanga tasted like it was fried in dirty oil. Overall a decent meal, considerinng finding good Mexican food in Montana is nearly impossible. Then we got our bill. $85!!!!! Wow. I'm still in shock! It's very unlikely we will be back!

Terrible .. now let me explain, upon entering we asked about if the beer was cold. “Young” waitress said”I don’t know go ask the bar tender. ? We were served stale chips, asked for queso (cheese) they didn’t serve any. A Mexican restaurant ???? No queso??? The atmosphere was stark, did not “ feel” right, not comfortable. We calmly left … will not return.

I would give this place rave reviews for the food but the service SUCKS!!!!!!! I will keep coming back for the food but they need a better wait staff. We will be back but only for the food. It’s sad this place has such potential they need to get a manager in place to keep things moving properly.

Was super excited to try it out! When we arrived the host told us to sit where ever! Right as we went to sit a lady came out of the kitchen and said they were closed because they had a slow day... this happened at 6pm, 2 hours prior to closing on a Saturday... and there were people eating... it's going to stay slow if you keep running off customers that want to eat your food.
