Ordered from DoorDash. The taco salad bowl came without the taco bowl and no beef. They just dumped the rest of the ingredients in the container. Called and they tried to blame DoorDash. I quickly informed them that they are the ones who put the food together and DoorDash just delivers it. They said I could come and get another. That defeats the purpose of me using and paying for DoorDash in the first place.

What an amazing discovery right next to our stay at The Suites at Fall Creek! We finally had time our last night and the food was fast and delicious! Next time it will be on our must go to list!

Maria Bonita is a true hidden gem. Everything tastes fresh and made from scratch, and you can tell real care goes into every dish. The space may be small, but the flavor is huge.

The food is packed with authentic Mexican flavor—the nachos and enchiladas were especially delicious, full of fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. Even the drinks stood out; the non-alcoholic coconut daiquiri was refreshing and incredibly tasty.

If you’re looking for genuine, from-scratch Mexican food in Branson, Maria Bonita is an easy 5 stars. Cozy, flavorful, and absolutely worth the stop.

Queso was water at best. Restaurant was understaffed. 4 tables walked in at once 1 was a 9 top and staff couldn’t handle it efficiently. Kids meal for my youngest daughter was a quesadilla one tortilla with less than a 1/4 cup of “shredded chicken” for $8 plus drink so $11-12 for less than you could get at Taco Bell or Bueno. It was quick with ticket time but I was NOT impressed by the quality.

We found this little place a few months ago while visiting Branson. The food and service is excellent. We’ve since made 2 trips back here and the food is always great, some of the most tender skirt steak I’ve ever had. We highly recommend the 40 oz Mango Margarita too! My favorite is the enchiladas with shredded chicken & verde sauce. My daughter loved the dish that’s choice of meat (skirt steak & chicken) over rice & topped with cheese sauce.

We had a wonderful meal and margaritas! The service and food were great!

The best Mexican in Branson as far as I'm concerned! The passion fruit margarita was phenomenal, and the house made salsa was perfect. Mildly spicy, and lots of cilantro. The ambiance is great, and the staff were so friendly. The menu options are plentiful and the food was good. The kids menu has good choices and there are chicken nuggets for even the pickiest eaters. Definitely stop in!!
