Holy smokes, this place was fantastic! I swear, it had me dreaming about mexican food the rest of…read morethe week it was so good. Their queso paired with the chips and salsa was such a great starter. Their service was fast and friendly. We went for dinner and it was busy, but the food still came out quick and hot. They put cheese sauce on their California Burrito, which had so much beef inside. This was like cuts of steak too (not ground beef) and it was so good, full of flavor, no fat, one of the best I have had. The place is big and open i side with plenty of seating. Prices are great and cannot wait to get back down to Joplin to try this place again.

As long as they do not change anything and keep the price is low as they are. This will be a long running Establishment.

Stopped in for dinner and margaritas. The place was busy, yet the service was still decently quick…read more We each got something different so we could try several various things. The azada fries were tasty with lots of cheese and meat. Enchiladas mexicana were good, but it would have been nice to have 3 different sauces instead of just one. We went with the cheese sauce and it wasn't bad. The burrito panzo was huge. The steak was seasoned well but on the dry side. The waiter did well to keep all drinks full, and the margaritas were large but light on the tequila.

Street Tacos was good flavor and moist. Good service. Would go back and try other menu items.read more

Stopped by for lunch today, service was good, meal was quick, nice music and decor…read more Chips and salsa came out quickly, salsa was tasteless with no freshness like cilantro and no heat at all. Beans were tasteless and beef was bland, everything was begging for salt and pepper. Spice level was around a 1 which was really disappointing. Would not return since they cannot get the basics right.

Oh man! This is crazy to say because Mexican food is one of my favorite foods. But OMG!! No…read moredisrespect, this was the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Not to mention, we were 1 of 3 tables in the entire establishment, we got there at 8:00 and didn't get our food till 9:07pm and it was simply not good. None of it! Not even the chips n salsa! And the queso had no flavor. Like, how do you mess up salsa and queso??! Also, there was no alcohol!!! No margaritas!!! Yeah this place is an absolute no and I don't know how it even has 4 stars.

Maria's isn't bad, it just also isn't that great. I honestly think the food was a lot better at…read moretheir old location. Whether that be because of staff changing, different ingredients, a mistimed visit to this new location, or something else entirely, I'm not sure. The service was absolutely fantastic, but the food was just okay. My chile con queso was thin and you need to eat a lot to get the flavor. I liked it, but I wouldn't come back for it. I used to really love this appetizer, to the point I would come to Maria's just to order this! The chicken quesadilla was good. A fair amount of meat inside, juicy, and enough cheese. I wish you could get sour cream put in rather than have it on the side. The first burrito that was brought out was cold but they made us a new one with no issues. The shrimp cocktail was really strange and too sweet. It was mostly liquid with several small shrimp and chunks of avocado floating in it. The botana platter was an interesting sampler. The queso blanco on it was good and thicker than the chile con queso. The taquitos were good. The only problem is that everything cools so quickly that you're bound to be eating something cold eventually. Overall an okay experience. Nothing crazy. I really, really miss their old chile con queso!!

I picked the perfect plate of food. Oh my God it was good! The Baleada Supreme for me and the Honduran tour for my wife. Check the pictures. Also go to the website and review the big menu. First time, I absolutely recommend these two meals. Comes with chips and mild salsa. Ask for the hot stuff. I am not an expert on Honduran food, but at the same time I am not a stranger to it either. I have eaten at several very authentic restaurants. I liked them, but nothing compares to the 5-star food on the plates here. The owner is very involved. Working in his small restaurant, presenting every plate to his customers with pride. Very nice guy. The restaurant is small, comfortable, likely gets crowded and will get even more crowded as the news gets out. The food was amazing. Nothing left on my plate. And a shocking statement from my wife. One of her favorite restaurants anywhere is the Red Onion in Joplin. She said "Latin Fusion is now my new favorite restaurant!"

I think the name and location is a disservice. This is one of the best Mexican themed restaurants…read morein town with a fresh and bright interior and great menu and service. Its located in an old burger chain, I think a former Burger King not that this matters. Its completely rebuild and looks nothing like a burger joint anymore. We have been in several times, (actually I've written a Yelp before but it has disappeared). And each time we have been impressed. There are so many Mexican restaurants in Joplin of very style and price point. Some offer really good interiors like its a theme part or movie set. Some are as simple as can be with authentic menu's and no effort to be fancy or touristy. Speedy is somewhere in-between. Some of the menu is typical of many American-Mex chains only better prepared. Then again some menu items are normally only found at authentic Tex-Mex, roadside and Southwestern style Mexican based in real family recipes and flavors you'd find south of the boarder. There is a small bar, service is friendly and prompt and the bright decor is refreshing.
