Very nice neighborhood style Hispanic restaurant. Food was very good and the atmosphere was very good as well. The staff is especially kind to our table and would highly recommend going there again.

Maria's was the sleeper hit of our getaway weekend. The food was sooo good. I'm still thinking about my steak chilaquiles!Kid-friendliness: Patient with our slow to order kids, generous with their portions too!

The best chilaquiles I have ever eaten in my life, so tasty, with their dresses and their fried eggs, and Mrs. Sarita transmits that energy and enthusiasm to you, by the way, very happy and a dancer, we will definitely return. Oh, of course, yes, I loved her coffee (only I took 4 cups)

Great service! You get big portions for your $$ here. Friendly atmosphere and this business is very generous with contributions to our local homeless shelter. Need more places like this in

We have been coming to Maria's since she opened. Sarah, the owner, is always cheerful and kind. We haven't had a bad meal yet. I especially love their tenderloins and fried fish.

Walked in, was greeted and seated fast, food was excellent. Had the Nashville sandwich, and I'm from TN so was leery of all the fake sauces.. but this was spot on and perfect. Great job guys, I will definitely return when I come thru the area again!

Beware of their shady charges. Every single item we ordered was rang up for about 2.00 more than the menu listed. When I questioned specifically about why the kids spaghetti rang up for so much more, she said we didn't specify we wanted the kids spaghetti. Our youngest kid is 6 years old. Obviously ordering kids menu items. The food was okay but we won't be back due to their attempts to rip off our family of 7.

Lovely place, lovely food! Popped in quickly during a road trip. Was talking while tipping and accidentally chose 15% on the tablet for the tip. I meant more sorry! Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area

We were looking for a place to eat on our way out of town. This place is such a cute little mom & pop breakfast/lunch spot. They have a wide selection of food on the menu and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back again whenever we're in the area.

Such good food! The biscuits and gravy were delicious as well as the Denver Omelette and the Maria’s Cafe Bistro French Toast. If we’re ever in town again, we’ll be stopping by!

We came from Chicago to visit Starved Rock, and I’m so glad we stopped at this gem. Staff was very attentive, and the food was amazing. We haven’t found a good breakfast place like this one in a while! Definitely would recommend!
