“Authentic Mexican in Iowa? Who would have guessed! We live in Texas, where good street tacos are prized. Maria's are as good as any I've had at home or in Mexico City. The posole was flavorful, and husband said the burrito was five star. Homemade horchata was best I've had anywhere. Every time we come to Marshalltown for family, Maria's is a must stop. Don't expect a fancy restaurant. It's window service from an old house, and you eat at picnic tables on the enclosed front porch or outside. But every Texan knows the best Mexican food comes from a hole-in-the-wall joint.“

“I can't say how proud I am of these people. We returned from vacation this morning after missing the tornado. They were not charging for food tonight but taking free will donations as they have been feeding the town after the disaster. Of coarse I gave a generous donation because not only do they have the best burritos I have ever had, they are the nicest people and we want to make sure they are in business for years to come. Bravo guys and we will continue to support you 1 to 3 times a week, but always our Friday night staple.“

“some of the best salsa ever!“

“Excellent service!!! I feel like I am in Mexico.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor 😋🍽️. Every bite tasted fresh and well-prepared, and you can really tell they put care into what they serve. It wasn’t just a quick meal — it was the kind of food that makes you want to come back again! 🔥✨
On top of that, the customer service was outstanding 👏😊. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. Great food combined with excellent service is always a winning combination 💯🙌. This place definitely left a great impression!“

“The cheddar crunch taco looks exactly like its photo. It was unique and delicious.The drive-through parking is cramped. We got a large order and had to pull forward. There was no room for the person behind us to get out so we turned to let them out and then parked by the drive-through. Our food was given to someone else who had to pull forward. The staff caught the mistake in time and was very apologetic.“
