Di Maria — Restaurant in Texas

Had a great lunch here with a group of friends who meet once a month at a local restaurant. Di Maria offers a nice variety of Mexican dishes with quite a few seafood choices. The restaurant is clean and painted with bright colors and our server was very good.

Just had another great lunch here with friends. This is a wonderful small restaurant serving great Mexican style food. It's family run and several of the dishes were created by the owner's mother and unique to this restaurant. They do serve some traditional Tex-Mex dishes like fajitas but I'm glad to see they go well and beyond that style which is pretty much everywhere in the greater Houston area.

They offer some of the freshest seafood around, dishes with shrimp or fish which are all good. They even have ceviche and the Citrus or the Pineapple ceviche are very good and unique as I have not had these in other local places. They offer 5 different soups, not just the usual tortilla soup most Mexican places offer. One of the more unusual dishes and one that came from the owner's mother is Tacos Ahogados Chicken which has 4 chicken tacos served in a salsa verde broth; really nice to have on a cold winter's day!

For their fish tacos they use red snapper instead of the usual tilapia that most places use. It can be grilled or fried. The taco salad is a lighter lunch, my wife's came with rice and beans at the bottom of the shell, topped with lettuce, tomato, and ground beef with a taco seasoning.

They offer several vegetarian dishes as well as dished cooked with a lighter touch for those who might be counting calories. We especially enjoyed the chips served when we sat down, they were light and crisp and served with a bowl of salsa that had a smokey flavor as well as a salsa verde which had a somewhat creamy texture.

The service is top notch, our glasses were promptly refilled, food came out quickly and was plated very nicely by the kitchen staff. The restaurant as a whole is clean and welcoming, even the men's room that I visited was in tip top shape. They do have a full bar seating area with many interesting cocktails to choose from. And they have many excellent Mexican beers as well as some nice wines for those who prefer.

Parking is easy so what is not to like about Di Maria? I highly recommend...

Horrible service!!!! My husband explained his order in Spanish to the waiter. I heard and understood it clearly apparently he didn’t understand what my husband said and brought a whole different order. The waiter didn’t speak English so we made sure to speak Spanish. He brought our plates out and brought my husband something completely different than what he ordered. We offered to pay for it, but wanted something different. He took both our plates up. Not sure why he took my plate back. SMH I got my plate back after it sat a while then he never came to take my husbands order. When they finally decided to bring my plate back, I just asked for a to go plate and we asked for check. My husband told him we wanted the check because he never came back to take his order and he had the audacity to tell him he didn’t need his attitude because he was busy with other tables! We paid our hefty check for no food eaten but the chips and aguas frescas. We will never return. Don’t go in gym clothes because you may be ignored! I can’t say how food is, but service sucked! The poor waitress was mortified! I want small businesses to succeed, but my...

My experience at Di Maria's was excellent from start to finish. The moment I walked into the restaurant I was greeted by a very kind waiter who provided us with amazing customer service and took great care to follow social distancing and COVID19 prevention protocols. The menu has a great assortment of dishes and drinks. The coconut horchata was delicious and the three presented salsas even better! I tried the vegetarian tacos and the the vegetarian tostadas; my partner ate the arrachera burger. My tostadas were yummy and very filling, and my partner said the burger was very tender and juicy. The one dish I did not like was the vegetarian tacos but I believe it is because they used beyond meat which has an aftertaste I do not like. This was not their fault and merely down to my taste preferences since my partner did like them. The prices are reasonable when compared to other establishments in the Kingwood area. Overall, it was a great experience and we will be returning soon! I recommend this little restaurant for anyone is looking for fresh food with...
