Quite a stylish Spanish tapas restaurant in the heart of the bustling Cumming City Center. I was in…read moretown on a quick work trip and found myself right around the corner from here when hunger struck around lunch time. I took to Yelp and found Santa Maria right down the block. The location, awesome reviews, and photos made it a no-brainer. My lunch companion and I decided to share the queso fundito and shrimp empanadas and both were great. The queso fundito came with roasted corn and a garlic toast while the shrimp empanadas were plated on top of a bed of salad. The empanadas were a nice size and I would totally order these just for myself for lunch. I added a shrimp tempura taco to round out my meal. It was juicy, a bit spicy because of the jalapeno mayo, and overall a nice way to end my meal. I'll wrap this up by congratulating them on landing a spot on Yelp's Best New Restaurants list for 2025. Only 100 businesses in the ENTIRE country get on the list - so this is huge. Based on my experience, well deserved. Definitely give them a visit soon!

I had the shrimp taco and the fried fish taco with jalapeño mayo, both $7 each. They were very…read moregood, although the jalapeño mayo was a little spicy for my taste. The cauliflower appetizer was a hit with everyone and the portion was huge. I personally would have preferred it to be cooked a little less, as it was quite soft. The patatas bravas were decent. The tres leches cake was excellent and came as a generous slice. The milk was served on the side, which we poured over the cake. We shared it among six people, and it was just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. Our server was very friendly, and the restaurant itself is really cute. Around 7pm on Saturday evening, just as we were leaving, a man and woman started performing live music with vocals and guitar. We were on our way to the Lou Sobh Amphitheater (just a quick walk over) to see a cover band, which made for a fun night out. This whole area in Cumming is a great place to hang out.

I'm not typically much of a meat eater, so the fact that I ate a bunch speaks volumes -- the beef and chicken were well marinated, flavorful, juicy, and tender. The beans and rice were also perfectly seasoned and cooked. The queso dip and ceviche were also top notch. The vibe is cozy, casual and the service was above and beyond. Mauricio in particular was a delight.

We enjoyed the cheese dip and carnitas but sadly our sides were cold and the corn tortillas were too dry to hold the meat. When requesting fresh sides, they were reheated and didn't get up to temp.
