Maria's Restaurant offers generous portions at reasonable prices. The pupusas, specifically the pork and cheese revueltas, are highly praised for their softness and flavor. The Sopa de Pata is noted for its rich umami taste. The restaurant's Salvadoran dishes, such as the sabor salvadoreno plate, are commended. The pasteles empeñadas have a sticky-sweet exterior with a soft, custard-like center. The leg soup with pishtones is also enjoyed by many. The restaurant is known for authentic Salvadorian food, with many options and a peaceful, very clean ambiance. The pupusas are not too greasy and are of a generous size, with platanos and frijoles always spot on. Customers mention that the food is very delicious, and the staff is friendly. The owner and servers are welcoming and kind, providing attentive service. Ample parking is available in the shopping center lot. Although the service has been described as sometimes slow and the staff occasionally arrogant, the overall experience remains positive due to the high-quality food. Overall, Maria's Restaurant is a modest establishment delivering authentic Salvadorian cuisine in a friendly environment.
