Maria's Mexican Kitchen

This amazing little hole in the wall blew my mind. I walked in and immediately felt like I walked in a warm hug. I sat down and was greeted with nothing but sweethearts ready to take me on a journey of taste bud wonderland. I had a carnitas plate with a albondigas soup and let me tell you, I have never in my life sipped on broth like my life depended on it before now. It was like a bowl of happiness warming you up with a swirl of goodness and love. The carnitas were a crunch and half in the best way possible. The atmosphere of this place was so homely and actually creates and angel halo around your head before you leave because the food is so heavenly.

Tried it while house sitting. Definitely will go back next year again. Good authentic Mexican food. Mom and pop place which always wins in my book

Sperry family oriented. Great service. Fresh food. Authentic Mexican Fair. Nice for a quiet afternoon on a Sunday. We went about 3:00 in the afternoon.

The food is good, but the service is lacking.

This restaurant is a hidden little gem. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Lovely Mexican comfort food that was the perfect venue for our graduation celebration. Friendly prices and friendlier staff make this place a great place to be. Highly recommend! ☺️

Not very good. Service was bad. It took an hr to get "nothing" we just ended up paying our drinks and we left.

It’s like a little piece of home really relaxing place good food very nice waitress helpful and kind

Placed a phone order and the person that took my order read it back and confirmed my order. I picked up my order and when I came home the order was not complete. I called the restaurant and the person that took my order was very rude and hung up on me. Will NOT be returning!!!

Service has become pretty bad, negligent and even with attitude. This used to be our favorite local spot for years.
