Las Maria's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Monticello

This place is very inconsistent. One day it will be delicious, the salsa will be on point and contain cilantro. The next week nothing will be seasoned and the salsa will contain oregano and be very sweet and not taste like salsa at all. Quite often the dish I order is not prepared as described on the menu - either missing an ingredient or has something that want listed. Last night I got the Barbie Special which was supposed enchiladas stuffed with chorizo, crab, tilapia, and shrimp, topped with vegetables. The filling was pretty nasty looking, dry as could be and not a full shrimp to be found, let alone any identifiable crab or tilapia. Tasted like burnt chorizo and cannot stress enough how DRY it was. The vegetables were served on a separate plate with black beans. All extremely bland and also room temperature. There were only 2 other tables seated inside but for some reason we waited 20 Minutes for food that was not hot. One of the tables was 3 ladies getting their drink on and being obviously flirty with the 2 male servers, who were both too busy hovering around their table and chumming it up to even take our order for the first 10 minutes we were there. The female server initially introduced herself but then disappeared, forcing one of the males servers to tear himself away from the ladies and tend to our table. When she resurfaced she mostly was just taking care of her kids which were in store and sitting in a booth. The only food I saw her serve was to those kids. In the past we've had plenty of good experiences here, and they have lots of really tasty things on the menu. Idk if they have just one cook that refuses to follow the recipes or what, but it's very disappointing when the menu preparation is...

Went into Monticello to try Three Ravens, ended up leaving shortly after arriving due to how the bartender was treating the staff on shift. We looked in Las Maria's as we were walking back to our vehicle, and decided to give it a shot.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was MUCH more pleasant. Staff was on point, super friendly, and the food was delicious! Margaritas were blended really well and not overpowering by any of the flavors, and the fajitas for 2 was SOOOOO good.

Glad we stumbled upon this place, definitely adds some spice...

The food is okay but when my husband stopped by to pick up carryout, the server wasn’t wearing a mask. When he inquired why not, the man said they didn’t have any. So I stopped by today to deliver masks. The man who greeted me wasn’t wearing a mask either and when I offered some, he said they had them. So I asked why he wasn’t wearing one and he said they had the shield around the register. I told him that masks protect his customers; he didn’t care. I left. We...
