    It's located inside the Jack in the box shopping center off Irwindale and Arrow Hwy. It is a small place with about 6 tables, it's clean and the service is quick. We wanted to try so we ordered the fish taco. It's a Baja Style menu and it lives up to that! The fish was breaded and fried, topped with cabbage, pico and creama. It was freshly made and the first bite made me want more! The combo comes with chips and guacamole with a small drink, this meal was very filling if eaten alone but we shared so we could try the shrimp burrito. The burrito was filled with fluffy perfectly cooked rice, frijoles de olla/ beans, cabbage, pico, creama, and grilled shrimp. We cut it in half and you can see how packed this burrito was, YUMMY! I was not impressed with the outside of the place but the food will definitely have me coming back!! This place is a must!

    Love grabbing food here. The specials are back! It's been awhile since they had their specials. Wednesday are their fish tacos for $3. I remember it used to be around $1.25 to $1.50 bit with inflation it has gone up a bit. It's ok though normally with 2-3 fish tacos you're full. It's quite loaded and very tasty

    Been frequenting La Bufadora for a few years now... every visit is special because the food is so good. Today I ordered their Potato Tacos, these were amazing, absolutely the best! My husband usually gets their Fish Tacos which are also excellent.

    Found a bitten piece of fish in my Wednesday Fish Taco  I live in Irwindale and I definitely wont eat here again.

    Disgusting bitten piece of fish in my fish taco. Thanks employees for being horrible Food service workers.

    I was craving fish tacos and found this shop on Yelp. They're located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. They also make tacos and other dishes with different meats and shrimp. The customer service is good. You're able to place your order at the counter, directly next to the entrance. Once your food is ready, your order is called. You pick it up from the pick-up counter and can sit down to eat on one of the tables they have. I ordered a fish, a grilled shrimp, and an asada taco. The tacos were delicious. The standout taco was the fish. I appreciate the nice ratio of fish to breading. There was more fish than breading, which is perfect. The breading is also light and crispy. The shrimp were large and seasoned well. The asada was flavorful. The tacos come with a grilled pepper and different salsas. I will be back when I'm craving fish tacos.

    Fish tacos are awesome from this place. I think it's a bit pricy at $3 regular price, but a great deal at $1.75 on Wednesday.

Marias is in a strip mall with plenty of parking, but lots of traffic and commerce here so it took me a bit to find a spot. Inside is small, but comfortable and tidy. Was planning on takeout, but audibled into eating there. Ordered the following: - Chorizo burrito - 7.5/10: Hefty and very tasty. You will not be hungry after this meal. Asked for their medium salsa and it delivered. Not too spicy, not too mild. Had large chunks of potatoes in it. Could've sliced them to smaller pieces, but it was fine. - Horchata - 5/10: Not the homemade stuff, but the kind that came from a commercial dispenser. Expectedly meh. Staff was friendly and polite. Charming place to grab a bit to eat. Would recommend.

So I walked in bright and early, greeted by the gentleman. Looked at my breakfast burrito options, noticed the $12 breakfast burrito prices. I figured, wow, should be decent size for that price. Gave you choice of bacon, sausage, and chorizo was extra. I picked bacon. Needless to say, the burrito was very small. Unusually small for burrito standards. Took it to go, got home, unpacked my burrito and it was mostly potatoes! Hardly any egg, bacon, or cheese. It was really disappointing. So, I got a tiny burrito made of mostly potato. Again, I hate leaving negative reviews and always love to support mom and pop establishments, but this made me never wanting to try this place again. For the record, I have been to Las Marias before and liked my food. Never blown away, but first time and last time having a breakfast burrito.

Everything looked so clean, well-organized, and inviting. The restaurant itself is lovely, with plenty of seating for a party of one or many. There is ample space for special occasions, a large bar area, a large dining room, clean bathrooms, and AMAZING staff. Every single employee welcomed us to the restaurant. Employees were very friendly, polite, hard-working, and engaging. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the "Martha Salad" while my wife had the Pozole Verde. Both were delicious, perfectly made, very tasty, and filling. The chips and salsa were so good that we ordered a second serving, which is rare for us. We plan to invite family and friends in the very near future so that we can reserve the private group area and have our own party :)

The margaritas were honestly some of the worst we've had -- they tasted like straight margarita mix blended with ice, and we could barely drink them. The enchiladas were also very underwhelming, especially for the price. It was basically shredded chicken in tortillas with sauce, rice, and beans, and for $20 it just wasn't worth it. The food tasted very Americanized and lacked authentic Mexican flavor and seasoning. That being said, the customer service was amazing. The two ladies who helped us were incredibly attentive, kind, and kept checking on us. They offered extra drinks and multiple items, which we normally appreciate because when we go to Mexican restaurants we usually order multiple rounds and end with Cadillac margaritas. Unfortunately, the drinks were so bad we didn't want to order anything else, but their effort and service did not go unnoticed. One small disappointment was when I asked for hot sauce to add more flavor to my green sauce enchiladas, and I was brought the same red enchilada sauce instead, which made the meal worse. I am a food and beverage manager myself, and I can honestly say I would hire those two servers in a heartbeat because they were fabulous. The service was excellent -- it's just the food and drinks that really need improvement.

    Title: Misleading survey reward - fine print appeared only after completion…read more Review: I completed an online survey specifically because the restaurant offered a free mini dessert in exchange. After finishing the survey, I received a confirmation email for the dessert. When I showed the digital confirmation to our waitress, she had to get an approval from Alex the manager. Alex asked to see my phone to "prove" the receipt, then told the waitress the offer was actually meant for graduates only. Nowhere on the survey, the confirmation email, or any promotional material I saw was this graduate restriction mentioned. If I had known, I wouldn't have spent time filling out the survey. To make matters worse, I frequent this restaurant and have noticed that It Alex never visits any of the tables to check on customers. But he has no problem sitting with his family as though he owns the place. Offering a reward for completing a survey, then adding restrictions only after a customer tries to redeem it, feels misleading. A simple heads-up in the survey would have saved everyone time and frustration. I frequent this restaurant weekly and spend well over $100.00 on breakfast for both me and my wife we enjoy the food and the service we receive from the team but since Alex never visits any tables or customers while I'm there for Alex to question his own company's promotion I feel Alex should do his due diligence and know what his company his promoting. Thank you to the staff is why we frequent this establishment. Alex please do better. Thank you. David
