Only issue was the soda fountain was putting out very watery soda, I'm sure they can fix it. The staff was maybe a touch under trained - friendly but couldn't answer many menu questions. Food came out very quick, and prices are reasonable. Would recommend!

The place was loud and busy when we walked in, though that seemed to be part of the atmosphere. There's also quite a bit of outdoor seating available. The menu is pretty standard for what you'd expect from a Midwest Mexican restaurant. One difference is that they make fresh guac tableside. Caveat emptor: you do pay extra for this. The complimentary chips come with three different dips, which was a nice touch. Not sure what the rest of our party ordered, but I had the Fiesta Bowl and it was delish. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

I gorged on that. If you haven't been here yet, the burritos are HUGE. I was shocked when my six pound burrito was delivered to the table. The only thing bad about it is that I'll be eating burrito for the next four meals. We also ordered Corona (of course) and a quesadilla, which was also huge. We recommend.

We ended up driving to Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant in Fargo 30 minutes before they closed, placed our take-out order and within 15 minutes we had our order and were on our way.

I had the steak fajitas and they were delicious! My mom and brother both had the chimichangas and they also were great! All three of us have worked in the service industry so we try to be very understanding when dining out, but the waitress was kinda rude and only checked on us once. She almost acted like we were just inconveniencing her. We ordered queso and ran out of chips and had to ask three times for more before getting them, and by the time we got more chips, our queso was cold and we were done with our entrees. Mind you, our queso was supposed to be our appetizer lol. It's a shame because again, GREAT food, but very poor service.

This is the old Smiling Moose Deli location. The food here is fresh & authentic. Was very good. This was my first time trying Elote Queso, and I'd describe it as thicker than normal queso & is made with corn (which is what Elote is). The chips were great and the serving size was huge. I haven't tried the breakfast items or the evening Fri/Sat menu but hope to soon.

Today we took a last minute trip to Fargo specifically to go to Maria's Mexican Restaurant. But…read morebecause our unexpected trip to Fargo was on a whim we were pressed for time. I kept it within the speed limit but it was hard. We rolled up at 1:50 and found a nice parking spot almost i. Front of Maria's. I hurried inside and ordered a #9, Maria added a little avocado and it was eye closing drift away in flavor delicious. The hospitality is as genuine as the dishes Maria and her staff create. Maria sent us on our way with some chips and salsa (which I'm currently munching on as I type) For me it's the overall welcoming feeling I get when I cross the threshold into her establishment combined with A menu that checks all the right boxes. Do yourself a flavor favor and try Maria's on 1st Avenue just west of Broadway in Downtown Fargo. Todd R.

The service here was spotty. It took at least 10 minutes for server to stop by. He then took beverage orders and we waited at least 10 more minutes to order. I ordered lunch flatua and beef chimichanga. I must have ordered wrong, as it had onions and peppers in it that I needed to pick out. I also didn't eat much of the tortillas. My parents liked their seafood fajitas but they didn't come out sizzling. The lunch portion was also small. I've had better Mexican food elsewhere.

I forgot to take pictures, but the queso Uno and chips are definitely worth ordering along with a tasty frozen margarita. My son had the steak fajitas and they were good, his only feedback being that the onions were not as cooked as you would expect so they were more like raw versus grilled. I had the grilled burrito with shredded beef and it was amazing! It was a generous portion of meat with lettuce and pico and cheese and beans and nice fresh ingredients, wrapped up in a big tortilla and then nicely grilled until crispy on all sides - so good and not covered in sauce and not fried, just fresh and hot.
