I called and it was literally done before I got in the car and to the restaurant it was very delicious and affordable for one person I had enough for two meals and I ate way too much of this delicious food they accommodated me by putting the zucchini in my food and also grilled jalapenos it was delicious I would totally recommend this to anyone traveling through this tiny little quaint town

Vegetarian options: They have bushes outside to snack on if you don't want any meat

Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions you should have stayed at home

Parking: Is confusing One Way streets but after you get used to it you'll figure out there's parking right in front of the building

Kid-friendliness: I reckon children should eat here as well

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a sidewalk they can roll around on

Recommended dishes: Salsa and Chips

This place is very inconsistent. One day it will be delicious, the salsa will be on point and contain cilantro. The next week nothing will be seasoned and the salsa will contain oregano and be very sweet and not taste like salsa at all. Quite often the dish I order is not prepared as described on the menu - either missing an ingredient or has something that want listed. Last night I got the Barbie Special which was supposed enchiladas stuffed with chorizo, crab, tilapia, and shrimp, topped with vegetables. The filling was pretty nasty looking, dry as could be and not a full shrimp to be found, let alone any identifiable crab or tilapia. Tasted like burnt chorizo and cannot stress enough how DRY it was. The vegetables were served on a separate plate with black beans. All extremely bland and also room temperature. There were only 2 other tables seated inside but for some reason we waited 20 Minutes for food that was not hot. One of the tables was 3 ladies getting their drink on and being obviously flirty with the 2 male servers, who were both too busy hovering around their table and chumming it up to even take our order for the first 10 minutes we were there. The female server initially introduced herself but then disappeared, forcing one of the males servers to tear himself away from the ladies and tend to our table. When she resurfaced she mostly was just taking care of her kids which were in store and sitting in a booth. The only food I saw her serve was to those kids. In the past we've had plenty of good experiences here, and they have lots of really tasty things on the menu. Idk if they have just one cook that refuses to follow the recipes or what, but it's very disappointing when the menu preparation is inconsistent.

Parking: Have fun finding a parking space. Ever since covid they put an outdoor patio in the 5 whole parking spaces they had, and now there's maybe 3 left on the same block as the restaurant. Downtown Monticello is a nightmare to park at during dinner time.

The best Mexican food I’ve had in a long, long time!! Guacamole very fresh and tasty. Sauce on chimichanga delicious and not heavy.

Best place to eat (and drink Margaritas) in Monticello!

The food is always good and the service is fast and friendly! Love the outdoor seating in summer. My nephew from Chicago said it was the best Mexican food he’d ever had!

I’m local to Monticello but I drive a truck all over the country. I stop at Mexican food joints any time I’m stopped somewhere. Las Marias is the best Mexican restaurant in the country as far as I can tell. Great folks, too.

Excellent food, great service.

The best part of the restaurant is the outdoor setting. Unfortunately, the outside sitting was not available when I was there. Food, and service was good. Could have been better.
