Maria's Restaurant — Restaurant in McAllen

DO NOT GO ON WEEKENDS/ NO VALLAN LOS FIN DE SEMANAS. We sat down at our table and the waitress took 10 min to take our drinks and she didn’t even take all of our drink orders she told the other half of the table to wait. There was only 4 of us. When she would pass by we would tell her we are ready to order our drinks and she responded rudely. Its not your turn yet wait. This really upset our table so we went to the front to pay for 2 drinks and the owner/lady that sitting at the register said sorry it took us a long time we are really full. I told her the wait wasn’t the problem it was the waitresses attitude and she just said “I KNOW i am sorry” so she could see from across the room how her waitress was being rude to us and didn’t do anything about it. We left the lady didn’t say we had to pay for our drinks. Definitely a bad experience. We are from out of town so we were looking forward...

Food has always been amazing. For Mole, no other restaurant beats Maria's, in my opinion. My family ordered the Beef Enchiladas and tacos which were good but the enchiladas were a little bit dry in some parts. This was unexpected because their food is always consistent and delicious.

I did not notify our server or management because we were already done with our meal. I kind suggestion would be to get hairnets (head and beard) for kitchen employees and a quick inspection of plates before the food goes out.

*I do have to mention that my hair was pulled back and couldn't have been mine due to length and...

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...
