Had a fantastic experience while in town for a tournament. The good reviews in the nicely updated downtown was another reason we chose it. It was Friday night and the place was starting to get busy but we were seated quickly. The hostess even apologized for our wait that couldn't have been more than 3 minutes. The place has a nice, friendly vibe. We were provided chips and salsa while we waited for our food which was flavorful and large portion. Great waitress and the food was fantastic. I didn't get photos but the 2 enchiladas with a hard shell taco was awesome. They had a gentlemen playing a guitar on stage and the staff would encourage him and hoot and howler which got the customers into it. It was a nice touch to a great meal. read more

We came in with a handful of people for lunch, and we were seated right away. There were a couple other groups and pairs there already, but the waitress was attentive and had a great smile! I enjoyed my enchiladas immensely. The sauce was flavorful, and the rice was just right. Great lunch! read more

Food was good with gargantuan portions. I had my entree plus 4 meals afterwards. We were a group of 10 & service was outstanding.

The service was great, we couldn't ask for more. They were coming to see if we needed anything consistently. The food was great as well. Look authentic and tasted authentic. I will definitely come back. read more

I have loved going to las Maria's downtown for years. Have always ordered the same thing and loved it (carne asada). After praising I took out of state friends to dine Friday night. Our carne was inedible. No marinade ,not seared ,meat not recognizable as carne asada. Very embarrassing. Won't be back. Server was wonderful! We didn't complain. How do you judge personal expectations? read more

Las Marias is a wonderful alternative to the many other popular choices for breakfast in Grand Junction. I had the two enchiladas with eggs this morning, something I've enjoyed on a previous visit. The food portion was plenty for me to share. The taste was delicious. And the service was very personable and our server, Stephanie, was fun and attentive to our needs. Stephanie is warm, funny, and made our dining experience very enjoyable! I highly recommend Las Marias in Grand Junction! read more

Service was so SLOW! We ordered queso which was great but nothing else we ordered was even edible! Grandson got steak quesadillas and took 1 bite and refused to eat anymore hubby got enchiladas didn't even eat half and I got nachos.... They were microwaved and disgusting they ended up taking that off my check! The staff was nice read more

Food is decent Mexican food with ambience clean and well kept. Service always good. What sets this restaurant apart is the owners commitment to giving back to the community, and I love her for doing that! read more

Won't go back after leaving my wallet by accident in car , had to step out to pay after explaining my forgiveness and I'll be right back I was walking back to pay and accosted by my waitress and she didn't communicate with host and started yelling at me and threatening to get the cook and police to arrest me , long story short I paid but won't be back read more

Went here for lunch today with my friends. I had the navjaio taco, she had a taco salad. my meal was ok, 3/5, but my friends was disgusting. the ranch dressing had the consistency of milk, the lettuce was soggy, and she couldn't eat it. The waitress said they could make her a new one, but my friend said no, she lost her appetite, to just please take it off the bill. The waitress said I will have to talk to Maria. Maria came out. and pulled up a chair to our table and proceeded to tell my friend that they knew who she was and that she always complains and none of the staff ever wanted to serve her. She said you always have a problem with your food. Wants to wait on you anymore when you come in. I was blown away with such unprofessionalism. She humiliated my friend made me very uncomfortable. I will never step foot in that restaurant again.. read more

I came in this morning and they charged me more than the menu reflected. I questioned it and she said they charged a processing fee fir I sing a credit card. Surprise!!!! Cone in Maeia, you can do better than that. If you have to, raise your prices to cover that credit card charge that brings you more business. You've lost mine. read more

Best Mexican food in Grand Junction. We've only had lunch there and the service was fast and friendly, the menu has something for everyone and it is, my opinion, genuine Mexican fare, not Tex/Mex. We go to Las Marias often and have always good service and good food. read more

Been coming here since I moved in summer of 2020. Food is always great. Drinks are great. Service is friendly. Want breakfast? Best diner style breakfast in town. No reason to go anywhere else if you want great Mexican food. They also have a full service bar if you just want a drink or a handful. read more

Been here 3x love the food, service and atmosphere. Margaritas are a bit weak but delicious. Menu too big , not sure if that is a compliment or complaint. read more

Delicious food and excellent service with a family-feel! We were in town visiting my grandfather and decided to stop at Las Maria's for dinner one night. He had been there once and recommended it. I'm very glad we stopped by! We were treated so lovely by all the staff. At one point, when requesting a modification to our order, Maria said "You can have anything you want! You're at Maria's!" I loved that she said that. Made us feel at home. The guys got micheladas and had no complaints. For my meal I got a combination plate with crispy chile relleno and cheese enchilada. Yum! Those things were CHEESEY!! As someone who loves cheese, I was in heaven. Very tasty combo plate! My guy got a burrito with carne asada and pork. When it came out, it was bigger than a newborn baby! Ha! He loved it but was only able to eat about a third and took home the rest. So if you're looking for a huge bang for your buck, go with the burrito because you'll get at least two meals out of it! The restaurant is right next to a bar/club that looked super lively! So for those looking for a night out, start at Las Maria's for a bite to eat and then venture next door for drinks and dancing. An ideal setup! read more

My family and I came in for lunch for my sister in law's birthday because she requested this for lunch. The service was terrible to start with, we had a large group and asked for more chips and salsa 3x before they finally brought back one basket only instead of three like we asked for along with more salsa, which they did not bring. My mom and I got up and REFILLED OUR OWN SALSA! They sat and watched and DID NOTHING! Then my sister in law got her margarita and it tasted like absolute garbage along with all of our meals that we ordered, the enchiladas, chile relleno, and tamales all tasted like trash. Would NOT recommend this place to anyone. Horrible food, Horrible service! read more

Had a family dinner here recently and we all loved it...Happy hour lasted till 630 and on a Saturday night which was a plus...Margaritas were great...Service was great...I got bacon wrapped shrimp which was really good and everybody else loved their food...Wish I lived closer so I could go again. read more

No better level of customer service can be found at any price in Grand Junction Everything we've had there is very good. Mostly breakfast for us, and there's a ton of variety to pick from read more

Average spot for some Mexican. I've been here twice and it was decent both times. I went back because a friend invited me here and I would go back again if I had a reason, but it wouldn't be my choice. The service was spotty both times. Not the most attentive. One time maybe it was because we were on the patio. The other time, we were the only people in the place on a weekday evening and it was clear they wanted to close up early. Enchiladas were Ok. Salsa is meh. The ambiance is lacking and the inside a bit dated. If I am getting Mexican in GJ, there are a handful of other places I would pick instead. read more

Quick attentive service and have good suggestion when asked. Was well seasoned and tastes good.

So far the best Cadillac margarita! Salsa is spicy. Chops are fresh! Love the outdoor seating and is dog friendly. I'd love to see a bit more of an outdoor atmosphere though. Hostess was wonderful. Try this establishment!!! #Taste testing margaritas read more

We'll, my first time here and we've been waiting about 45 minutes for our food. There are not that many people here. Let's see if the food is worth the wait. They said they make everything from scratch. They made a mistake on my husband's plate. Had to take it back. The tamale meat is good, but the masa is too thick for me. I like it thin and smooth. The relleno didn't have the egg batter on the outside like a traditional relleno. I probably won't have this plate again. The dinner portion is too much for me. I think the lunch portion would be better. If I come back, I will get the beef flautas. They are filled with meat and make a tasty meal. read more

So my previous review of a Mexican place was the jumping off point for this review of Las Marias in downtown GJ. We shoulda come here first. Las Marias is pretty much everything you want in a good Mexican restaurant. Decor is old school. Comfortable with just enough of a Mexican feel. The bar is like a 1950's soda fountain with the long row of stools overlooking the decent selection of beers and liquors. Several TVs dot the dining room, enough to watch several of your favorite games on the weekend. Service is knowledgeable and friendly. Ana is an experienced pro who knows the extensive menu backwards and forwards. Chips and homemade salsa are decent. Thin chips and homemade, slightly spicy red salsa. An order of queso and gauc brings tasty, hot white cheesy goodness and the guacamole is fresh and a standard presentation. Both are served in small soup bowls, enough to please the entire table. My steak fajitas were good enough, though I thought the bife could have been seasoned a little more aggressively. Good flavor overall, though, and there were enough accompanying tortillas to finish the plate. The star of the show on this visit was the pork with green chiles. My dining friend, J, is a connoisseur of green chiles sauce, and he loved this dish. Big pieces of puerco in terrific Chile verde. Muy bien! Dessert brought four nice sized cinnamon-ey churros. Order with ice cream for extra goodness. Las Marias is a solid 4-star Mexican place in the heart of downtown GJ. Ana says the breakfast is the real star at Marias. We'll be back... read more

This restaurant offers most authentic Mexican cuisine. I'm from California with a picky taste for food, the food was unbelievable good. Best Mexican food I've tried and I've travelled extensively. Thank you to the staff, they were extremely kind. Sorry I ate before taking pics! Lol read more

Las Marias Mexican Restaurant - Everything was unbelievable good. I had soup and carne asada with all the fixings! - Mexican Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

I love this place! The first time we went I was a little skeptical- it was a big hectic in the restaurant and it took quite a while to be served. However the food was great. My whole party liked everything. Good salsa and queso. The ground beef tacos were seasoned well and I tried the prickly pear cactus taco- AMAZING!!! I love it. The shredded chicken taco was not great- dry and bland. They have good portions and it's cool that they have all-day breakfast so there's something for everyone. On the rocks margarita was good, the frozen was okay. We will be back! read more

Worst food i have ever had in my life and the service was also not good at all will never go back for sure

The food was delicious but the service surpassed everything. Super friendly and fast! 5+++ stars!!

Great food with very stiff drinks. Would recommend the restaurant for anyone. Give it a try.

I've been to this restaurant a few times now and it is continuously great. Service is very attentive and the food is great and reasonably priced, you get big portions and never leave hungry. This is my go to for Mexican food in the area read more

Me and my family come here all the time! The waitresses are always very kind, though there's this one lady I do not know the name of who refilled my drink even after I said no but truly it's not a big deal. The food has never disappointed and it's nicely decorated. Only complaint is wait time but that is mostly due to understaffing which I fully understand. I very much recommend it here! read more

I ate here for lunch while I had a short stay in Grand Junction. I ordered the green chili pork enchiladas. They came with refried beans and rice. We also ordered the Guac with our chips and salsa. It was pretty good although it did need some salt. I am used to a more spicy guac and this was more traditional. The enchiladas were ok. The meat was in thick pieces and I think I was just expecting it to be more pulled apart. This could just be my preference for texture. The taste was good. One thing I really enjoyed was the salsa it was just the right spiciness. The restaurant was fairly busy when we got there and it was about 11 in the A.M. I did notice they had a breakfast menu that looked good. The service was prompt and they kept my water full. The prices were reasonable, especially for their lunch menu One annoying thing was you had to pay for parking. I am not sure if they had specific free parking for the restaurant, but seriously it just seemed silly in downtown Grand Junction. We sucked it up and payed the $1 to park :-) At least now days you can just pay with your phone if you don't have change. read more
