Excellent authentic Mexican food, been there since forever. My grandfather would take my Dad there for breakfast when my Dad was still a kid. Known for their carnitas plate, very affordable, not to big of place so seating might be a problem if very busy, service was acceptable, might be hard to find parking due to it's location downtown, food took a little longer than expected to be served but well worth the wait. I ordered carne guisada (very good litmus test for Mexican food) it was excellent, above average flour tortillas, excellent rice, excellent frijoles, homemade pico de gallo. Highly recommend this place.

The breakfast here was just okay, the service was good, the freshness of the food could be easily improved by having certain dishes hot and made fresh to order (like the diced potatoes). The huevos rancheros cost 5.49 and for that price you get 2 eggs, potatoes, refried beans and bacon. I ordered the eggs over medium but the yolk was almost cooked and the salsa for the eggs was just okay, the refried beans didn't tasty anything special and they were barely warm, the bacon was crispy a bit over cooked but it was a bit cold, the potatoes were soggy and stone cold, the price makes me want to rate it 4/5. The coffee was very good and hot. Serving cold dishes is something that can be easily improved, i hope their management takes notice. For now i will rate this place 3/5 and will return in some weeks to see if the quality improved.

Ordinary. My party Ordered enchiladas, chile relleno and tampiquñea de res. Enchiladas needed more sauce a bit dry. Chile relleno was fine and tasty. The fajitas on my plate were stringy and hard to chew. Rest of the food on plate was ok and had its typical Mexican flavor. Best part were the salsas. I love love their salsas with chips. But that is not enough to bring me back. Service was ok.

Maria’s was suggested to my by multiple people. It was good, but not great or exceptional. Service was slow and was borderline rude. Not sure why this place is so popular and highly recommended. I had the machacado con huevo a la Mexicana. Comes with potatoes and beans. The beans were good. The potatoes were cold and stale. Both the red and green salsa was good.
