First time here and I'm hooked! I ordered a carnitas taco, Mii's style with avocado, and it was absolutely incredible. I'm very picky about carnitas as I have a specific flavor standard that almost every other restaurant misses, but Maria Maria nailed it perfectly. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I'm already planning my next visit to try the rest of the menu!

Good food. Went with teens and adults and it was relatively quick. Happened upon it by accident because we thought we were walking into a different place. So glad we found it!! Good happenstance!

As usual the food was delicious and the service was excellent. One of the consistent go to places in Tallahassee
I went on May 16th with my partner for dinner and the food was excellent as always. Best California burrito in town bar none. The staff is always excellent but Anthony was on top of things all night, bussing tables and assisting customers with their food and getting us refills. Maria Maria is definitely one of the best spots in town and I will be back again and again

The food here has always been delicious. Sometimes there’s a bit of a language barrier when trying to order, but we usually figure it out. Their menu is marked for allergies, so it is easy to order gluten free meals.

Picture this: It’s a Friday night and you’re craving Mexican. You think about that place on Monroe that’s always packed when you peer in. Why not?
You get there and stare up at a massive digital 5-screen menu. Lots of options. You see the one and only California Burrito on the menu and it instantly brings you back to a vacation in San Diego. That’ll do. You don’t expect the burrito to be as good as it was in California, but if it’s even 50, hell, 33% as good as it was in California, you’ll be satisfied.
10 minutes later the one party in front of you is done ordering. You order the burrito, one fountain drink and 2 tacos for your girlfriend. The burrito is… 16.75. 19.75 if you count the 3 dollar watered down fountain drink. You think wow, a bit pricey for a burrito, but surely it’ll come with like fries or chips, and it’s surely gonna be tasty.
You pay and find a seat. Cozy atmosphere, excited for the food. To their credit, the food comes out pretty quick. However, much to your dismay, there are no chips or fries, just one burrito on the plate. Okay, the burrito better be good then. You try to pick it up and a fat glob of guac falls out. Your first thought is wow, they couldn’t even wrap this thing right for 17 dollars. Your second thought is wow, they couldn’t even toast the burrito after wrapping it or warm up the tortilla before wrapping? Your third thought (post-first bite) is wow, somebody messed up this batch of guac. What a salty mess. And I love salt!! This was unpleasant! Terrible structural integrity, terrible seasoning, terrible texture!! There were like 2 fries in there total. “They must be good fries at least!” You think. Sadly, they are neither crispy nor well seasoned. Total let down.
I will say my girlfriend’s tacos were good and the dishes on other tables looked good. Maybe burritos just aren’t their thing but man, if they’re gonna be that bad, what’s even the point of having them on the menu.
I’m writing this review to let all the public know to not waste your money here, or if you don’t heed this warning, at least stay away from the burritos. Don’t waste your time. Go to Chile y Chilis, Taqueria Miranda, El Jalisco or man, even Chipotle or Surcheros if you’re looking for a burrito.
In three words: mediocre. overpriced. underwhelming.
