Las Dos Maria's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Independence

Going through town and stopped here to eat. Having never been here before we walked in the door and no one greeted us. Come to find out you seat yourself. Eventually a waiter came and took our drink order and brought us chips and salsa. We seen the condiment bar and asked about it and was told we can help ourselves.

Help yourself to a variety of salsa, sour cream, cheese, a corn salad that was excellent, and fresh cilantro, onions, and limes. All complimented our meals. The rice wasn't my favorite but I liked the beans. They were getting quite busy as we were finishing our meal. Lots of close parking out back. We'll...

The restaurant was very clean and neat. Nicely decorated. The waitress was exceptional, so friendly and helpful. There was a nice little bar you could go up to and choose different sauces and other things like cilantro, onions, cheese, etc, to put on what you ordered. I...
