Marias Taco Shop

Great location very convenient! I go to this place a lot and they always do a great job. I have seen them help people in need and ever since then it always makes me want to help support the business.

This place is not bad. Pretty small on the inside but clean. Food was good with decent prices. I had a carne asada burrito which was about $ 6.50 after tax and it was a little above average in taste. The red and green sauces have some kick to them and the carrot/​onion/​pepper mix is good with your food.
I’ll have to try their $.99 Taco special next time

$ 1 chicken tacos at Maria’s has without a doubt increased my taco intake. Whatever they season their chicken with has a bit of a kick, and is better than the average chicken taco. Not to mention there is a decent amount of meat in them. (You can get crunchy or soft)
Everything else is average priced. $ 7.00-$ 15.00 per plate depending on the entrée. I have had the carne asada tacos, the enchilada plate, and the nachos. Nothing has disappointed me, but I always end up back with those $ 1 tacos. The rice and beans are also good. And the homemade red sauce is actually spicy.
Your average taco shop, but a little above average.
Comparable to Roberto’s, but I would say better in flavor and service any day of the week.

I’ve been going to Maria’s for years. I’m always pleased by the friendly and helpful attitude of the staff. The food is simple Mexican fare, nothing special, but it is good comfort food. I especially enjoy the carne asade nachos — they’ll never make the cover of a foodie magazine, but the nachos never disappoint. Marias stands above their rivals with service and taste.

OMG if I could give this place a half of a star I would! How this place has stayed open for as long as it has, has me puzzled! I’ve had a lot of Mexican food in my life and if this were the last restaurant serving Mexican food I’d never be back! The food here was disgusting. Unilocalers u have lead me astray again

This was my first visit to Maria’s and it was beyond impressive! Excellent selection and a great special on the enchiladas which my companion chose and were beyond excellent, I went with the Chimichanga which was one of the best I’ve had in a long time, cooked perfectly and the green sauce is fabulous. The place is very clean and the staff is not only friendly but quick too. I’ll definitely be back again!

This was my first place going into this place, the guys I work with recommended it. Didn’t take me long to find it, with its bright colored windows advertising $ 1 tacos and delicious burritos. I walked in and was greeted right away, they had a wide array of meats and freshly made Aqua fresca. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, and was very pleased by the size. I was able to watch the cook prepare it, from toasting the bread on the flat top stove to placing the eggs, cheese and variety of meats on the bread. It was like dinner and a show I guess in this case lunch and a show. When I got to take that first bite it was the most amazing thing ever, I got a perfect blend of everything. I will definitely be going back and will recommend friends try this amazing place out.

Maria’s has recently limited their hours to a more normal schedule, which is quite a bummer for me because I tended to go there a little bit later. However, the adobada is still the absolute best meat option at any Mexican restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. And I love Mexican food! Do yourself a favor next time you’re up for Mexican food…
Step 1 — go to Maria’s!
Step 2 — order tacos, a burrito, a torta, breakfast burrito, whatever… with adobada!!! I get the #5 combo that’s on the wall (two tacos with rice and beans, substitute adobada for the meat).
Step 3 — sit down and prepare yourself for the most delicious meal of your life.
You’re welcome.

Ive enjoyed multiple items here and the service is always great and friendly. I recommend ordering Adobado Nachos with no beans. Reading other reviews about it being over priced, I feel they are not ordering the correct items to get the most out of a meal.

This place is great, the people work hard, its a small operation, but the food is good and the prices are great. They always seem to be just busy enough for you to wait a little bit which is a very healthy sign. The Breakfast burritos are packed with eggs, beacon, cheese, and photos. I also love their beef tacos, cant be beat for the price and taste.

Best tacos.
99 cent chicken and beef tacos all the time not just during certain hours.
They also have the best chilaquiles I have ever had… chicken or chicken and egg. The sauce they use is perfect and it’s green not red like most places.

I don’t think I’ve ever given only 1 star before, & I admit the enchiladas were decent, but service was –10 stars.
Asked to have a quesadilla on corn & not flour tortillas because of wheat allergy and to start them first ‘cuz he was very hungry but all the food came out at same time — quesadilla in flour & wrong sauce on the enchiladas. When I brought up the problem she said quesadillas were only on flour (couldn’t say they would not make it on corn before having us pay for it?) Then when my remade enchiladas were done they just sat on the counter until I happened to look up & the cook pointed to the counter by the cash register/​order taker who had no inclination to let me know my food was ready. Later when I asked if there were desserts she just looked at me until I repeated my question & motioned with her head towards the freezer with ice cream bars. Guess words required too much effort.
So I advise going somewhere else unless the whole rest of the city is out of food.

The Flautas at Maria’s may be the best in the city. I’m definitely coming back for more!
Restaurant is small. Relatively clean.
Prices seemed about $.50 — $ 1.00 more than most other places for most items.
For the Flautas it was worth it, I don’t mind paying a smidgen more if the food is great.
Ill let you guys know how the other menu items are when I try them!

Great food! Very authentic imo. The ladies that work there are always nice and patient. You can’t beat the prices and 24hrs!!! Oh yea! Since I can’t get to tacos Mexico this is my spot! Bonus is that you can see them prepare your food from stArt to finish!!!

Hands down. Best Flautas I’ve ever had. Delicious and open late.

This place was much better when it was Robertos.
It never seems clean anymore.
I’ll stop in every now and then since my nail place is close by but won’t make an effort to go out of my way.
You can do better.

This is basically the same as Roberto’s or several other Mexican food places around. The food is what you would expect, it’s pretty good, not too expensive, and it comes out quick. Since the food is rushed out so fast, you often get meals where the cheese isn’t remotely melted. Generally they just rely on the heat from the food to melt the cheese. Staff has been friendly and the place is usually pretty clean. I give this place 3 stars because it isn’t anything special, but still good.

This review is specifically for the breakfast. We pick up the breakfast burritos once a month or so. The staff is always very nice and they do a quick job of making your order. You can get bacon or ham, but we usually get bacon, ham, and potato, which is a great value for $ 5. You can barely finish them for a breakfast item. The tortillas are some of the tastiest I have had anywhere. I would highly recommend for breakfast, they are open early. I have not tried any of their lunch items.

Maria’s is a great place to eat. The staff is always nice, and the food is great. The .99 cent beef tacos rock for some cheap food on a lunch break.
The problem would be that the .99 cent tacos are really the only deal there. As other people have said, this place is more expensive than Robertos/​Amigos/​any other place for the same quality food.
I will keep going for the lunch deal, and that’s about it.

Overpriced. Carne Asada fries is $ 9.16! Carne asada chips is $ 8 (about $.50−1.00 more than most places) The chips are already expensive. Why does it cost an extra $ 1.16 to substitute fries?
I had a california burrito. It didn’t have guacamole. The first rule of carne asada is that it should always have guacamole.
