This place was hopping on a Friday at 5:00. Parking was nowhere to be found but they had a free valet. Our party of 6 was served well, the food was great, and it was a fun birthday celebration. The guitarist was a bonus!

When we first got seated , it took about 10 minutes just for us to get waters. When we got waters they had junk floating around in there, so we told our waiter, and he had an attitude about it. He grabbed them and said it was the ice and would bring us more, when he brought them back again there was still stuff floating around. Then when we finally ordered it took almost 45 minutes for us to get our food. And the food was below average, a very disappointing experience.

Went here with friends while in town for the weekend. Prices were fair drinks were pretty good and the food was very good. The service, however, was terrible. Our server clearly forgot that she never took our order. When we asked if we could order she did not apologize just went on. After waiting politely, i finally interrupted her lengthy conversation. Then was told that we could not get separate bills.

Maria's has been a staple for many years. The food and atmosphere are wonderful. The margaritas are very very good and the service is always on point. Maria's is always lively weekday or weekend. Ample parking and close to the expressway and shopping. Give Maria's a try today.

The reception was very unorganized there was long wait which I understand but the staff working on reception today kept sending people who came after us ,I asked if there is reservation for people who were sent before us who came in 20 -30 minutes after us she said no and bluntly told me that it’s hour wait . She kept sending multiple parties in with 2 people ,4 people 8 people in who came in after us. We were 2 people .People working in reception did not care at all when I tried asking , and made us wait very long still sending people in who came in way after us.

We arrived for a family dinner, always enjoying the pleasant atmosphere here. The food and service consistently excel, and I've never experienced a disappointing meal. Tonight, we indulged in their soup, which accompanied our entrees, and it was truly exceptional.

First time trying this place. I had chicken fajitas ,which was good! They give you a lot of food for the price($24). It came with refried beans and rice. Cheese was extra. I also had a nice size frozen peach Margarita which was very good! The server wasn't on point, but she did give us what we asked for. It was very dark in the place! It was only 5 pm! I don't know if I'll come.

Service excellence. Very attentive. Food a bit greasy. Drinks are huge and very pretty but could be stronger especially for the price. Beautifully decorated inside. Parking limited unless you’re willing to walk a lot. Feels far especially when it’s cold and windy!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free available. Vegetarian available.Parking: Limited lot, parking garage is a bit of a walk. Seems like miles away when it’s cold!

Maria's sets the standard for excellence in Mexican cuisine. When you are eating your meal, you will be thinking about when you can come back again. The staff are all so welcoming, and the margaritas are big enough to swim in.This has been the family favorite restaurant for 20+ years now. I'll probably go here forever.

Manager was very rude. We were waiting to be seated and she was taking care of a customer that was inquiring about a banquet hall. We were the only ones waiting and the customer told her she can seat us and she would wait, knowing she was going to take longer. She said no and continue making us wait. Mi mother is an elderly and she did not take that into consideration. Terrible hostess service. I hope the owner gets to read this review. March 16th 2024 at 3:30.Lucia Solis

It's overpriced Mexican /America food. Nothing super special. It's the convenience of the location.Parking: Good luck finding parking on the weekends.
