Limited menu and very uneducated staff. Ordered something simple and had to get the manger involved and the food still came out wrong three times in a row. How do u mess up tostadas with only cheese? Three times in a row? As far as far ambiance it feels like eating lunch in the dining room of a RV. Cramped and tacky interior design. read more

They always serve, delicious food, the owners and staff are very friendly and efficient. I have never had a bad meal here. One of my favorites is the breakfast burrito but everything is good. I think my favorite part is how welcoming and friendly the people who work there are. Thanks, Maria read more

I enjoyed this simple, authentic styled Mexican restaurant. We went one morning on a whim for breakfast and I was impressed with the flavor of my food. I selected the Huevos Rancheros, the spice level was great and the meal was even more enhanced with the house made hot sauce. The breakfast potatoes/hashbrowns were thinly sliced and nicely prepared. Service was friendly and efficient. I will return :) read more

Went there for breakfast. My wife thought it was strange for a Mexican restaurant to serve breakfast. The food was good. Reasonably priced. The staff was attentive. Not sure if we would go back. read more

Tried breakfast here for the first time and it was good. Cash only and descent service. The house hot sauce was excellent with a nice kick. It's hard to find Mexican breakfast in the area so I will definitely return. read more

Maria Restaurant - Chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Englewood, Florida

See all

Probably one of the hidden gems in Englewood. Was staying in Manasota key and saw the positive reviews on Maria's and stopped in for breakfast. No sooner did I sit down, I was greeted by Robin who took my drink order and I was soon sipping on a hot cup of coffee. Was impressed with the menu that had a decent breakfast selections as well as some Mexican Breakfast" selection as well. Decided on the Chorizo Quesadila which, when offered, cane with homefries and toast. As I prepare this review, I now realize I never got my toast, but don't miss it at all as the Quesadila and homefries were filling. HadI realized my toast was missing, I'm sure if I inquired about it they wolud have brought it over but I never even realized it was missing. The food was awesome. The quesadila was perfectly blended, was not greasy and over loaded with cheese, and had a good blend of chorizo sausage in it. I added some hot sauce to kick it up, but it would have been just as tasty without it. All in all, Maria's has it all. Great food, great service, and great prices. A few miles from Manisota Key, Maria's is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch if you want a break from the often busier and often pricier places you may find on close to the water. There was ample parking and managed to sit down as soon as I entered on a Sunday morning around 10 AM. While I did not have a drink thos time around, Screwdrivers, Mimosas, and other cocktails are also available for those that are interested. One if the only downfalls that I can sat did not impact me is they are cash only. Just a warning to those who may venture out without any cash. If you don't have cash, I'd say it is definitely worth getting cash and stopping in. With only a few days left, I can see myself returning again for another breakfast or lunch. read more

We had breakfast two days in a row! The first day hubby had the best! breakfast burrito so I had it the second! The medium salsa was sooo tasty! The accompanying potatoes were good, too! The first day I had crunchy French toast. Won't order again. Covered in oatmeal & flavorless. Crispy bacon was just that! Hubs had biscuits and gravy the second day with an egg over top. It was standard. Waitresses are awesome & remembered us from the day before. It was nice for us to sit outside & enjoy the Florida weather! read more

This is a small and cozy Mexican and American breakfast. restaurant. The decor was very cute. It was very high-quality Mexican or traditional breakfast at a very reasonable price. My wife and I split the breakfast quesadilla it was absolutely delicious you'd be wise to order your potatoes crispy and their homemade hot sauce was very tasty but a few drops will set you on fire so maybe you should order the medium. The French toast was also very good with not too much sugarcoating. our server, Debbie, was top-notch. She was friendly and informative, but they had a full crew serving and waiting on you every minute. We will definitely be back. read more

Maria Restaurant - Huevos a La Mexican - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Englewood, Florida

We love Maria's!! Great food and lots of it! Service is always great and the place is always busy!

I have lived in Englewood now for two years, and have always been under the impression that there was very little in the way of good food offered in the area. Well, I decided to go out for my birthday and treat myself today, and was pleasantly surprised at this little hole in the wall. I ordered Tostada's Rancheros and it was heavenly, it was served within minutes of ordering, fresh and delicious. I will be calling this place home for many years to come. read more

Maria Restaurant - Tostada Rancheros - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Englewood, Florida

We have been going here for breakfast and lunch for 3 years now and every time has been great! It's a cute welcoming restaurant, clean with awesome servers. Our favorite entrees are the steak burritos, huevos rancheros, gorditas and quesadillas. I'd be remiss not to mention the mega pancakes fluffy yet crispy on top. Unfortunately I will have to update this review when we go back to the restaurant again for pictures. Food is devoured by the time I remember to take pics! It's that good! read more

My husband and I traveled all the way from west Texas to visit family. We found this restaurant on yelp. It's great, authentic Mexican food. Everything was fantastic with the exception of the wait staff. I would love to give 5 stars if it wasn't for the crazy outburst from our server. Someone needs to pull her to the side and have a conversation (elderly white lady, brownish red hair and glasses) I'll start the convo by informing her that y'all are a team, it doesn't matter who comes to a guests table to check on everyone. Customers do NOT care who brings food, or comes by to check on them or who refills drinks, it's all part of it. It DOES NOT affect your tip if and when other servers or as you put it "the help" comes by to provide service. This server snapped at my husband and me for asking the young girl that came to our table for some guacamole. I mean, my god, the girl asked and we happened to feel like adding guac to our tab. The elderly server rushed over to our table completely offended that we spoke to someone other than her, it was such a crazy, bizarre reaction, it was as if she was highly offended. I can't explain it any better than it was unlike anything we've experienced. She must not have served tables very long, she needs that convo that she's part of a team, the other girls are on her team and no one is taking anything from her. It was so personal, it was unsettling. The food was amazing, the service needs to match it. The Hispanic ladies working there are not "the help" they are part of what makes that place run, they're part of that team. Please teach that server how it all works because she is not good for business. I can't believe I had to post this, it was truly unreal. read more

Always good and the people are always nice. It is especially good if you want Mexican style breakfast, but they have American breakfast food as well. The only drawback and why I don't go there more, is that they only take cash. read more

Awesome restaurant for both breakfast and lunch. Open daily from 7-2 and serving up great food, super fast and at the best prices around!! Breakfast they have everything you could want plus a bunch of Mexican inspired dishes and same for lunch, a full Mexican selection plus every sandwich, burger, soup, and salad you can imagine. And when I say fast - this place is incredibly fast, like food is delivered less than 5 minutes after you order and everything is delicious!!!!! Love Maria's!!!! read more

I love Maria's !!!! I could go for breakfast ANY day, and lunch too... Be sure to bring cash, as they do not accept credit cards. Breakfast is my favorite meal, so I will always recommend that, but lunch here is equally delicious. PLUS (and really to me, most important) the staff and servers are all extremely nice. They really take care of you !! read more

The food is always great. Mexican specials but Maria offers standard and non spicy breakfast and lunch options. In season, there is sometimes a line but don't worry, it goes quick. Service is very fast but not rushed to get you out. Prices went up recently but still worth it. Note they are Cash Only, read more

Came in with a group of 12 people on very short notice, staff was extremely accommodating, efficient, and every single person loved their meal. I was very impressed. My chicken enchilada had fresh tender meat, the slathering of sauce (with just the right heat) didn't make the tortilla soggy. Fresh ensalada and yummy beans. Many people ordered the chimichanga and I tasted a bite of my husbands, it was really crispy and tasty. After we were finished eating and the restaurant was closed for the afternoon, the group was loitering in the parking lot when the (presumed?) owner came out and offered for us to hang out on the patio because they wouldn't be leaving for another hour or so. How hospitable can you get? Highly recommended for the outstanding service and the excellent food. read more

Great food and good service. Eggs are amazing and the volume is perfect level inside. I highly recommend

The prices are very reasonable and what I've had has been pretty good. I normally get their Huevos Rancheros and I recommend getting it with crispy potatoes otherwise they come very soft and barely cooked. The service is good but it's a cash only restaurant and it's very out dated. I'm guessing since the prices are so low they can't afford to spruce the place up but most people who go there seem not to mind it. They do add $1 on all breakfast items after 11pm which is odd since they will still make anything on the menu. I'm fine with it because I want the breakfast when I go so I'll pay the $1 but I'm guessing they're trying to prevent cheapskates from ordering the cheap breakfast at lunch. I've only had their veggie omelette and the huevos rancheros which are good so I'm not sure how the rest of the food is. One thing I don't like is they put the sour cream and salsa in tiny containers. It's messy because they sometimes spill out and splatter every where especially the sour cream. Why use the containers just put it on the plate. To me it's wasteful, messy and looks cheap. Like it's a fast food place instead of a restaurant. I'd also recommend better sour cream the one they use is watery. Not sure if that has anything to do with it being in the container or not. I usually go after 11 am and at that time I've never had a problem getting in right away. There's always people there so they stay fairly busy. I gave only 3 stars because as a Mexican restaurant I feel like their selection is limited for my taste and I've had better else where but for the area it's good to try. read more

We came here because of family recommendations and I am so glad we did! This is a great little hole in the wall that you may miss when driving down the street. It's dark inside but the food more than makes up for it! There's a private parking lot next to and behind the restaurant. It's pretty much a hidden gem so it won't be too terribly busy. Everything on the menu is up for grabs. There's a specific breakfast menu that they stop giving out past 11 but you can still ask for it and everything will cost $1 more than the listed price. I ordered the chorizo omelette. Make sure you ask for cheese otherwise it'll be a little on the drier side. The meat was tasty; however, the eggs weren't seasoned very well/much before cooking. The plate also comes with a side of home fries (or grits) and toast (choice of white, wheat, or rye). Other meals at the table were a chicken burrito, which was also very good, and huevos rancheros. The rice and beans that came with the burrito were spot on and didn't have the tasted of being microwaved like most other Mexican places. If you're ever in the area, be sure to check this place out! read more

Was happy to arrive snd find outdoor seating. We're told to sit anywhere. Server was pleasant and attentive. I ordered the breakfast tacos with a side of corn beef hash and hubby ordered chorizo and eggs with corn tortillas. Food arrived quickly and hot however was not very exciting. Everything was cooked as we liked but the taste was very very bland. For a Mexican style breakfastThe refried beans were similar to a canned version and there was really no flavor. Rather noisy because of the street traffic. Decent but probably won't go back due to lack of flavor. Sorry no photos. read more

We had lunch at this unassuming restaurant and were pleased with experience. My wife enjoyed her split pea soup and tuna cheese melt. My Rueben sandwich was good but not outstanding. The coleslaw was a little creamier than I like but tasty nevertheles. The sweet tea had a strange but not unpleasant flavor. Our server, Robin, was outstanding being very pleasant and attentive. This place is a nice alternative to the better-known more expensive restaurants on W. Dearbon Street near the Farmers' Market. We will be back when we are in the area. read more
