Tasty Mexican food in a relaxed setting!!!!!! Casa Maria Mexican Grill offers a satisfying dining experience with bold, well-seasoned flavors. The dishes were freshly prepared and arrived hot, with generous portions that felt worth the price. The menu has a good mix of classic favorites and house specialties. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a comfortable spot for families or a laid-back meal. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed a bit during busy hours. Overall, Casa Maria Mexican Grill is a solid choice for Mexican cuisine. With slightly faster service at peak times, it could easily earn a five-star rating. read more

This is my serving time visiting Casa Maria Mexican Grill, and it was just as amazing as the first time. I tried The Hangover Helper Burrito, and it was great! Reminded me of back in Arizona with the authentic Mexican food and a particular burrito known as the "California Burrito". The service is always extremely fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is a bit cozy for how popular this place is. And mind you, this was on a Tuesday Still highly recommended, and I'll be back again read more

Fast and friendly- I really enjoyed my meal! A friend and I were in downtown Belleville on a Monday night. Many of the spots we would normally pick were closed, but Casa Maria was open. We were glad we gave it a try! We liked the chips and salsa, which were fresh and flavorful. We also enjoyed our food orders: "puffy tacos" with grilled chicken and fajitas. The walls were painted with bright colors, and we were seated in a cozy booth. By 6:00, there was a crowd at the door, so we were happy we had gotten there early. Our servers were friendly and accommodating. I'd like to come back for drinks sometime. read more

One of my best friends and I ate here on a Friday for lunch. We both got the arroz con pollo without onions. I also ordered the queso dip and a medium house margarita on the rocks. I really liked my dish. She said hers could've used more rice & chicken; that it was mostly veggies. The chips & queso were good, but I like the chips & queso at the local cholulas better. Our waiter was amazing though! read more

We come here usually once a year and have a great experience. Tonight was not the case. Food was fabulous and delicious. However the service was horrible! Our waitress did not check on us even one time! She came for our order, then was gone. We asked to do make a couple of changes, ans the answer was a flat out NO. We had to ask other servers for refills and Togo boxes. After she showed back up and brought us our check. Restaurant was temperature HOT and wasn't even full. read more

Food is always good but the service is hit and miss, the owners never seem happy and just glare at people. Every busy night they rush you as soon as you're done eating or getting ready to be done. I understand flipping tables to make more money but don't rush your customers out the door and try and give them to go cups for their margaritas to get them to leave. read more

Great looking restaurant and feels good and authentic when you walk in but was disappointed when I ordered my food. I guess I would call this more Tex-Mex than Mexican food and just because of that I didn't like the food. We tried a bit of everything and the taste just wasn't there. We are still looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant and this one had great music drink specials but the food was not up to par. Our server was great and attentive maybe because it was Sunday and there was only two tables being used but can't complain there. read more

Food was great and hot. Server was ok he rushed me into ordering it was Thursday night kinda busy he over charged me I didn't leave him a tip. I wanted. Grilled chicken on my tacos so he charged me 400 dollars extra I go there all the time I never got over charged before but next time I won't ask for him but out side of that every thing was great read more

Let me start by saying I wish I tried this place sooner! So much time wasted not enjoying this place. It's located right off the Belleville strip and has a cute Mexican restaurant ambiance. The service was fantastic, very family like and friendly! Now for the food, I got a California burrito and let me tell you this thing IS LOADED. The meat is nicely marinated and the fries are not soggy. Their house salsa compliments it perfectly! My husband had the cinco de mayo tacos and he was full after that, you get to try a little of everything. Their pico de gallo is flavorful and their queso actually has a nice little kick! Our daughter had the children's enchilada (she's 1) and she loved it. I wish I took pictures before we dug in and there was nothing to take a picture of after. Just don't waste anymore time, if you want Mexican food at a great price point come here! read more

Incredible food. Went there on a weekday, and it was crowded because the food is so good. Very nice service and friendly people.

This is Indeed the BEST Mexican Restaurant I've had in the metro east Ingredients are fresh, Meats are cooked nicely have a good char. No weird flavors as with other places I've been to and I know the owners of Casa Maria Really out their heart and soul into this restaurant and care about the product they Serve! Awesome Chips n Salsa, Great Queso, And not to be missed the Chicken or Steak Fajita Burrito (Extra Queso makes it even better)! And if you're like me you ask for the meat to be cooked a little extra for more char and they get it right! ) Great lob! read more

The food was very good and super quick! Clean and good service and atmosphere! Some of the best food we have had!

One of my dearest friends, Tanya, is a resident of a faraway land called Belleville. She has told me so many tall tails of this magical place that she says is a part of Illinois. Confusing names, I know. But one night she goaded me into crossing the river and schlepping to her neck of the woods for a much needed hangout over margaritas. She had mentioned in the past that she adores the owner of a specific restaurant in Belleville and said that we should meet there for dinner. She was pregnant at the time, so I was drinking margaritas for the both of us. Tanya had mentioned that the margaritas from Casa Maria were top notch and very authentic. So much so that she patronizes them nearly once a week. I started off with a cadillac margarita (go big or go home amirite?) and it was so well balanced. The perfect amount of juice and tequila. I also tried a flavored margarita that was just as delicious! Had I not needed to drive back to St. Louis, I would gladly have enjoyed more. The food was fantastically authentic! The menu at Casa Maria is as thick as a menu, making it next to impossible to make a selection because everything sounded so amazing. Tanya mentioned that her husband always ordered the Tres Reyes burrito (and in fact once ordered two.) That was what I went with! It featured Slow roasted pork, carne azada and grilled chicken, cilantro lime rice, and black beans all wrapped in a flour tortilla; topped with cheese and ranchero sauce. Wow were the flavors incredible. I should not have eaten the massive portion, but I could not stop myself. I highly recommend taking a trip to Belleville to sample all the options Casa Maria has to offer. read more

Best Queso I have ever had, food was so hot and fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth the trip, super friendly staff as well! We are from out of town and I already want to go back read more

Why so many amazing reviews? What happened on my trip here? Why did I not get that Mexican wow effect lol. Anyways, Average Mexican restaurant, I would much much prefer to go to fairmont city for some authentic Mexican food! Everything here was pretty much of a disappointment especially the Mexican corn. The corn we received was pretty much sweet corn tossed in oil with a few sprinkles of shredded cheese. There was no Mayo, lime, cotija cheese. Definitely should be Called oily corn. Only good thing here was their tamales! If anything wants good authentic Mexican, going to fairmont city is worth a trip! read more

Took my niece for lunch, her choice. She was craving their Fiesta Fries which we both decided to get. I had the streak and she ordered the carnitas. Their fiesta fries are fantastic! Crispy fries season with cumin and topped with your choice of meats, smothered in Queso cheese and topped with an assortment of toppings. Really delicious! We also had the guacamole which was super smooth, rich and creamy topped with fresh diced tomatoes. It's a rather small portion for $5 but we still ended up taking some home for just the two of eating. Service was pretty good. Both inside and outside dinning were available and we were seated immediately for lunch service on a Saturday so plenty of seating. Overall a great lunch experience! read more

This has become my favorite lunch spot in Belleville. That'd have great lunch specials at a reasonable price. I highly recommend the arroz con pollo and the verde burrito. The arroz con pollo is has cheese sauce mixed in through the whole dish so it lightly coats everything. It also has a healthy amount of grilled peppers and onions. It's excellent. The chili verde pork burrito is another great lunch item. It's stuffed with tender pork, rice and beans and covered in a spicy (but not too spicy) green sauce. Service is always friendly and usually pretty fast. read more

Consistently pretty good food. Occasionally shoddy service. Open seven days a week. read more

I am shocked that this place has a 4.5 star rating. My wife and I ate here on a Friday night. We both did not care for it. Food: We had chips and queso as our appetizer. The queso and salsa are both fairly average. But, they were the highlights of the meal. The chips were pretty bad. For my meal, I had the street taco variety platter. (For some reason the technical name of the dish has a "5" in it, but there are four tacos on the plate.) So, yeah, four street tacos: chicken, shredded beef, steak and pork. The pork taco was by far the best, primarily because the others were dry. My biggest gripe: the tacos were flavorless. The meat had little to no seasoning. There was no lettuce or any other "crunch" element. Just a wad of dry meat, pico de gallo and some flavorless cheese. In my mind, street tacos should be a few bites of flavor explosion. These were so bland. My wife had a bean burrito. She also did not care for it. She ate less than half. She did not like that it was covered in some sort of tomato purée. Service: Our service was poor. No use in sugar coating it. We waited about 10 minutes to order (after we got our drinks). Then it took a while to get our food. Our waiter also gave no attention to drink refills. Summary: I would definitely avoid this place. In short, I've never been to a Mexican with such bland food. read more

Excellent and authentic. Always delicious and served with a smile. Recommending the Tacos de Asada.

The staff is very attentive, the food is off the chain and the colorful decor has you looking in all directions and never bored

Stopped by for lunch with coworkers so it was a big party. The service was great and we were sat right away. For the size of the party we received our food in about 10 minutes. Pretty impressive. Comes with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was ok. No spice, just puréed tomatoes. I ordered the 3 kings burrito and a carne asada taco. Honestly I thought the taco was ok. It came out kind of cold so the tortilla wasn't all that great and the meat was a little dry. The burrito had 3 meats filled with rice and beans smothered in cheese sauce. I thought the flavor of the meat was good but the rice and beans seemed very qdoba-ish, which is basically what it was...a qdoba burrito but twice the price of it. It is ok for what it is but if looking for authentic then this ain't the place. read more

This place meets expectations. Food was fast and hot. Definitely Americanized Mexican food but had some flavor, if not any heat. Our server was Felipe from Vera Cruz and he was great.
