Sat upstairs at the bar with Sebastian as our bartender. He was quick to greet us and got our drinks right away which were excellent! Food was good, nothing out of this world but flavorful and good portion sizes for the price. The inside is well decorated and comfortable, we will absolutely be back! read more

It took a decent amount of time for our waitress to come and take our order (she was new and in training) but our order came out pretty quickly. I got the Macho Burrito with green chili. I know I am a white guy, but that is a lot of sour cream! Flavors were ok...nothing special. The restaurant was pretty empty on this Tuesday night 4/28/26. read more

Maria Bonita - Macho Grande burrito with pork and verde Chile. I know I am white but, that's a lot of sour cream. - Seafood Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I used to enjoy this place but now the service is terrible. Everytime I order my daughters kids meal it comes out with different combinations, once without the rice and beans and then I was charged for asking for the rice and beans that should have came with the meal. The waiters are rude and do not look happy to be there. The last time I ordered a burrito there was barely any chile. This is also not pork green chili as advertised. My tortilla looked raw with barely any sauce around it. I think there are better places for Mexican food and service. read more

You guys don't know what you are doing. Food is basically from the can. I got seafood pasta. Couple shrimp and something else looking Lise some type of seafood but couldn't tell. Did not look like on the picture. Just disgusting. Looked dirty inside as well. I wonder how is the kitchen. I'm never coming back. Waste of my money and time. read more

Extremely mediocre experience unfortunately, food was extremely bland and completely lacking. Service was okay, but definitely nothing special. Not even remotely worth the price, but I will say the authentic margarita was very good. read more

There are better and more cost effective options. Skip the queso. Tasted like it was microwaved from a can. Salsa tastes like a spicy marinara. Carne asada was the bright spot. It was very juicy and flavorful. Very expensive for standard Mexican food. read more

Impossibly LOUD & NOISY, hardly able to talk to our friends. Then the mariachi band started; musicians are certainly talented but now it's so loud we need to SHOUT to talk to friends. Totally unacceptable noise level. Gave 2 stars because food came out hot and 4 entrees all at same time, but food is mediocre, shredded chicken quesadilla is bland. Margarita not good. Sorry, Maria Bonita, but that was my experience. read more

Can't give this more stars because Yelp only has 5 stars!!!! This is their opening week and if this is what they can do with a full restaurant and new staff - then KUDOS to them. Absolutely FANTASTIC. The food was out of this world and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Upscale and value priced. read more

We were really disappointed with the food at this restaurant. We ordered the tbone steak which was okay but the alfredo fettuccine and the seafood pasta were terrible, they looked nothing like the picture shows and tasted horrible The service was ok not the best. read more

We came here as a family. Our neighbors recommended Maria Bonita. I gave it a 2 because The interior was pleasing the mariachi band was fun and the margaritas were good. My issue was my dinner. We had a margarita and chips and salsa. I ordered a chili rellano. I have had wonderful chili Rellanos at other authentic Mexican restaurants. But here I was served a burrito. I went on my phone to review the menu and it did not say rellano burrito. I told the waiter I ordered a Rellano and he said it was "inside the burrito " when I opened the burrito it was full of cheese and a sad strip of chili. I was disappointed. I did not eat it . The waiter never came to ask about our meal and when my kids were done he quickly came and removed the plates and never made eye contact with me. My sons enjoyed their burritos. But for the money there are too many authentic Mexican restaurants locally to return here for cheese burritos called Rellanos read more

Felt like I was back in Mexico. Mexican food is amazing. Lived in Mexico and the taste was just like my home town. Amazing song from Mexican culture was playing reminding of when I was riding with my dad back to the rancho. Amazing read more

Went to the new Mexican restaurant, Maria Bonita, last weekend. The place has a nice atmosphere, and the service we received from Miguel was excellent. However, my family and I were very disappointed with the food and drinks. We ordered the Camarones a la Diabla, which only came with six shrimp--even though the menu show there would be more. We also ordered a Molcajete, but it was dry and lacked sauce. When I asked for sauce on the side, it turned out to be a plain tomato sauce with no flavor or spiciness. I also ordered a frozen strawberry margarita, which was very sour and didn't taste like strawberry or alcohol at all--it felt like I was just drinking a slushy. Unfortunately, despite the great service, the food and drinks didn't meet our expectations I cannot say this a authentic Mexican Food Restaurant. read more

I wanted to like this place but the food was very underwhelming. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and our server was great but the food was not it. read more

Dang! I was all excited to finally try this place. It was a bit of a bummer. The food was ok. But the service was not good. We came for my mom's 90th (!) birthday. From the moment we sat down our waiter was pretty dismissive. He definitely didn't want to be there. He barely gave us time to review the menu book. And seemed a bit put out when we asked for more time. Mom is 90. I takes her a while to make a decision. I had the 2 item combo which would have been better if they weren't so heavy on the salt. But the food was piping hot so that was good. Mom had the shrimp salad which was drenched in dressing. Pro tip: ask for the dressing on the side. I asked for boxes for mom's salad and my beans, rice and tamale (very good btw). They brought 1 box and took my leftovers away! I told them I wanted to take mine home with me so the waiter was kind enough to bring me a fresh tamale with beans and rice in a take out box. Overall the food was good despite being heavy on the salt. If the service was a little bit nicer I would definitely be back. But given tight budgets I can't afford to go where I don't feel very appreciated. I can get good food with great service with a smile at another Mexican restaurant in town. Which is unfortunate bc I really wanted to like this place. read more

Absolutely great! Ricardo made a perfect margarita based on what I wanted. My chicken chimi was really tasty. LOVE THIS PLACE! Ricardo is THE BEST! Thank you! read more

We spotted this restaurant while driving and returned for a late lunch at 2:00 pm a couple of days later. It was not busy, and we were glad we stopped by. The establishment is clean and spacious, creating a welcoming environment. The chosen decor adds to the restaurant's ambiance. Additionally, the installed tables and chairs are both sturdy and well-crafted, providing comfort and no movement while eating. Upon being seated, the staff promptly served chips, water, and what we suspected of being hand-made salsa with fresh ingredients including cilantro. We ordered both an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic beverage, and both were delivered quickly. The alcoholic drink, a handcrafted Pure Gold Margarita, stood out for its exceptional quality and balanced mix, which I found impressive as a former mixologist. For our meal, we selected the #23 dinner and Chipotle Enchiladas along with a side tostada. Each dish had fresh flavor and satisfying texture, and the lunch portions were generously oversized, which I appreciated. In comparison to other establishments that have raised prices while lowering quality, this restaurant offers food that is well worth the cost in today's market. The overall food quality here surpasses that of other places we frequent, and we plan to return. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the presence and involvement of the owner and managers, making the overall experience even more memorable. Shortly after placing our order, the owner personally visited our table. He demonstrated genuine interest in our experience, taking the time to guide us on a walking tour of the restaurant. During the tour, he shared his personal story, discussed future plans for the establishment, and ensured that every aspect of our visit was enjoyable. After our meal, we were also greeted by the current manager on duty, who only works on certain days. He spent a few moments with us, contributing to the welcoming and attentive atmosphere. Out of courtesy, I will not mention their names. If this level of dedication and hospitality continues, Maria Bonita is poised to restore the kind of customer service and food quality that has become rare in recent years, often overshadowed by the pursuit of profit. read more

Excellent experience for our large group at Maria Bonita! We celebrated a birthday there on a Sunday when they had Mariachis and it was so much fun! The staff was warm, friendly, professional and very accommodating to our large group. The food was excellent and came out quick and fresh. read more

Ricardo was our waiter and he made the whole evening a fun experience . He made recommendations on food and drinks and was spot on. The food was served hot and delicious. The prices were in line and very reasonable. I want Ricardo to wait on me every time I'm there! I will be back for sure! read more

This place is great! Beautiful decor, and art. Atmosphere, service (thank you, Rocky!), and food. So many new things to try, and "the usuals". Sopapillas are amazingly delicious, with fresh whipped cream, caramel, and cinnamon sugar to dip into! We will be back to try the Molcajete next time. Oh, did I mention that there is a 2nd floor dining room with crazy views and sunsets to watch? read more

Friendly service, amazing views on the patio and great food! Team handled a few special requests from other tables with ease and was friendly and accommodating read more

3 stars for the service. Food was not great. We were disappointed. Restaurant looks nice inside though. Our server was the bartender with the tattoo on his ear. He was really nice and compt us one of our meals for the disappointment and because the chicharones were hard. read more

Good service but the food is average at best. There's not much separating this restaurant from Taco Bell except the price.

First time trying Maria Bonita. The restaurant is gorgeous, great views! Your staff is super attentive & friendly. Great chips & salsa. The food was over the top!!!! Seriously, order #23 & you cannot go wrong!!! Next I'm coming for the margarita menu too! Excited to bring visiting friends & family for the experience. read more

We went the second weekend they opened. We waited a bit over an hour for 4 , Not worth it. was over priced and no one liked their food . Some of the food felt like it was sitting around for a while and the dunked it water to make it not dry . Don't think I will be back. read more

Pretty good! You have to pay for chip refills with your chips and salsa so we skipped on that. I got the fajitas- steak was excellent and the onions/peppers were cooked perfectly. My husband got a chile relleno plate. IMO- I think the fajitas were tastier than my husband's plate. The bill was on the pricier side but if we go once in a while I would be ok with that. read more

Handled our large group. Server was very good. Food good. We like to go on Sundays when Mariachis are playing. My husband usually sings a song with them. Beautiful building. read more

The food was good and came pretty quickly our waiter Miguel was very attentive and helpful. He kept checking on us and making sure we liked everything he even made recommendations. read more

Food was . Service was . Building was nice? Hacienda is much better. I hope they can improve and add something special to their food.

Drinks were weak. Food just OK. We had shredded chicken nachos, fish tacos, and a chicken quesadilla. No real complaint just wasn't really tasty. Service was excellent.. I wouldn't suggest it but if someone asked me to go because they really wanted to I wouldn't refuse. read more

Great food. Great margaritas. My wife and I loved the mariachi band. The service was great. We will definitely be back.

Super clean super friendly staff. way overpriced. I'm glad I went once but unfortunately this is not a go to place for us. You can get better food at El Loco taco and half the price. read more

Great food, great service, and a great environment. Went with family and friends and Rocky the bartender was amazing! He provided laughs, service and amazing drinks. It's a must try! read more

The food here was amazing! Came out hot, fresh, and fast! The price was also fair for the amount of food you receive. The staff were very kind and helpful with everything we needed. The place also looks great! Especially with two stories of seating! I would definitely come back :) read more

Fabulous food and even better staff! They will be extremely busy for some time to come, but it's worth the wait!

We were there for happy hour but instead it was gauge hour. The waiter told us the tacos were $3.50 a piece but the bill came back with them at 4.15. The margaritas were small but 7.50! 4 fried pickles were 7.50! This is not happy. We will not be back anytime soon at those prices for happy hour. read more

Maria Bonita is is truely an amazing place to visit. The building is spectacular, welcoming and very open. The unfortunate thing is that we found the food to be just OK. The retaurant is quite pricy so I feel it is OK to hold them to a higher standard. On our visit last night, I found Fajitas (which I like to use as a basic standard for a mexican place) to be without flavor. Other people in our party had Mole Enchiladas and they were again just OK and lacking in flavor. My son had the Enchilada Plate and it was quite good (presentation and flavor). The Shrimp salad was suprisingly good and quite refreshing. As for service, our server was outstanding despite having to send one entre back four times to get all refried beans and no rice. On the whole we collectively found Maria's namesake to be good but not up to the prices that we paid. Bring your fat wallet. Our meal for six was about $350. read more
