We waited in the vestibule about 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged our presence. We were seated and served chips and salsa, which were very good. We ordered margaritas, which took about 20 minutes to arrive (note that the list of margaritas at the restaurant is much shorter than the list online). My margarita was called Pink Cadillac ($19), but should’ve been called pink lemonade as there was no discernible trace of alcohol and mostly ice. My wife’s margarita had alcohol, but she said it was wasn’t very good. I ordered green chile chicken flautas, which were excellent. My wife said her fish tacos were dry, but she added some of my green chile sauce. Overall, prices were reasonable (except the margarita), services was slow, and food was very good. The margarita was a major letdown.

The margaritas are outstanding. We got ribs and the tostadas. Fabulous. The tres leches cake ? To die for. Highly recommend!

Good food, TONS of margarita options! Quirky building, friendly staff. Maybe too many margarita options to keep up with - the bar tender hadn’t heard of one of the options we’d selected from the menu and they were out of some key ingredients (like jalapeños). No good vegan options for food but would definitely recommend to anyone without dietary restrictions.

Very sad tonight. The restaurant had nearly no staff and customers. After asking what’s going on we found out that new management fired much of the staff. Chris a manager was always a positive face. Many others resigned. Needless to say morale was very low! We still had good service from the remaining people working and the meal was delicious.
Worried that mis management is going to close down this wonderful institution. It needs to be sold to someone who is interested in keeping the tradition alive. Not cutting service to the bare minimum. It’s a favorite Santa Fe restaurant of ours!

Tamale tasted freezer burned, was barely heated and had more masa than meat. The bar area we were sat at had seen better days, with chairs about to fall apart, compared to the front dining room it felt like a dive bar. This place was a disappointment.

I heard great things about this restaurant and was excited to have lunch here with 2 family members. I gave Maria's a 1 for service, we waited over 35 minutes for someone to take our order, and almost 40 minutes to receive our order. I asked if they were short staffed and they said yes. However we watched two other tables be served before us! One table had more people than our table of 3!
My order was missing several items- that the waiter looked confused when I asked about having them- I had to ask for the menu to show them! And even after that we were still missing our sopaillas that came with our meals.
However, when we brought this up to the new manager, Mabel, she explained everyone was new. She was very apologetic. We appreciated the way she handled the situation and did her best to make it right- which she did. We are grateful that Maria's hired the right person as manager.

The food was terrible. The service left much to be desired. We waited 15 mins to get served. When we were done I had to go and get them to close out my tab. The meatballs were burnt, we took food home but threw it away because it made us nauseous. No thanks.
