I stopped by this place for a quick pickup, and let me just say...these were the biggest pupusas I've ever had. They were absolutely delicious. Thick, hearty, and packed with flavor, they're the kind of pupusas that make you pause after the first bite. Major shoutout for the ample amount of curtido, because they did not skimp like every other restaurant does. It's fresh, tangy, and perfect for the huge pupusas. Exactly how it should be. Period. I didn't get to dine in this time, so I can't speak to the service. There was a bit of wait to get them, but once I got my food, it was immediately clear why-everything tasted fresh and made to order. Totally worth the wait. On top of it all, the prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering the size and quality of the pupusas. You definitely get your money's worth. If you're in Bradenton and craving legit, filling pupusas, Maria's is a must-try! read more

Food was really good. I ordered the papusas and the beef soup. The beef soup came out without any beef and it being my first time I was a little confused. However, the owner-manager fixed my problem and it was delicious. I will return again as long as my beef is in my soup. read more

My husband and I went to Maria's Pupusas and Tacos last night. We had not been there in a while, but were always pleased with our experience. He had the red enchiladas, I had two pupusas - garlic, and cheese and spinach. He could not finish the enchiladas - the portion was so large! He had rice and beans, too. ALL of the food was excellent, and we will most likely go again. Pleasant, friendly family place, and the prices are extremely reasonable. We were taken care of promptly, and both the waitresses were great! read more

Food: Salvadorian - if you like Mexican, you'll love it. Great value for $ (3 adults WELL FED for ~$80) Service: Attentive staff- promptly seated/routinely checked on) Ambiance: Well lit eatery - not a romantic location but clean and with a small TV to watch the game read more

The food tasted very authentic, and I really liked the pupusas. They have quite a few items to choose from but of course pupusas and tacos are the top picks. Liked the spicy sauces and also enjoyed the shredded cabbage for the pupusas. Would like to see a smoother melting cheese. Tacos were highly rated by the group I was with. The banana dessert with crema was very hit or miss. If you are craving El Salvadorian food, then I will recommend it to you. If you are looking for something adventurous then this should do it for you as well. read more

This place is the perfect place for dining. We were welcomed warmly and picked our own table. The server was polite and helpful whenever we made requests. We only had to wait like 5 minutes and our food was already out. Most importantly, it's so good! The pupusas are amazing (especially the spinach pupusa!)and we finished all our plates! I'd definitely recommend that you eat here, it's worth your money read more

Ive never had such delicious pupusas. Gteat service on top of that and very reasonable prices. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This has become my absolute favorite comfort food restaurant in the area. The service is great. I always leave feeling more grounded.

Was in the area around 5:30 and wanted to avoid traffic on the way home east and found this place on Yelp. We hadn't had pupusas for years and were impressed with the great reviews. They were not wrong! Husband got 3 pupusas- cheese, cheese with chicharones, and the combination. They were great- and the cole slaw was out of this world. I got the Salvadorian chicken sandwich and it was huge and delicious- shredded chicken with pickled veggies, a hard boiled egg, tomato and cole slaw. And a dipping sauce that was more like a delicious beef soup which was so good I wanted to drink it! Service was friendly and quick, the place was bright and clean, and the prices were incredibly low for the quality and amount of food! read more

Service was amazing. Food is not very good however, you can get much better tacos in other places.

No pictures because I'm always too excited to scarf down my Pupusas and tacos. Sooo good. I always get a chicken taco and a bean and cheese pupusa. Have never tried anything else there because that is what I crave. And a Mexican coke. It's the perfect lunch. I love their Pupusas, and their curtido (the slaw that goes on top) is just delicious - the perfect bite. They are always happy and helpful. My favorite local spot. read more

Salvadoran tamales are very good. I love them. Their steak tacos are just the way I like them-cilantro, onion, lime, & choice of hot sauce. Pupusas are my favorite. I get bean ones & smother them in the cabbage condiment-which I could eat in its own. Very nice restaurant. read more

The food was great and the price was right BUT half of our table got there food then then it took TWENTY minutes for the other half to get their food. We tried getting the waitstaff's attention multiple times and never could. They didn't come check on us at all while we were waiting for the other half of the food. I really hope this is a fluke read more

I have to say they do need a person who can speak clear English to open this place to the public more. I am bilingual and ordered just fine but if some in my family ordered they wouldn't be able too because from greeting to hang up on the phone it was all Spanish. Just suggestive criticism. The food was authentic and delicious though. Everyone in my family loved the food! read more

Cute place with great food. Counter service for takeout and table service as well. Good mix of more familiar Mexican items and great Salvadorian fare as well! Pupusas were a big hit with our kids and the fried plantain balls were awesome. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

This place is amazing. I stopped in after a crappy 12 hour day driving Uber in Tampa FL. Stopped into this gem of a place, ordered one combination pupusa three chicken tacos. The place was very nice inside very clean. The staff were amazing and very nice. Everyone seemed happy inside of there and everybody's laughing and eating lotta food. I went out to my car and found out what a pupusa was. I have never had one before I'm in love. this is possibly the best thing I've ever put into my mouth if you like pupusa's go get one not sure about the rest of the menu but everybody had entrées and they were all happy with smiles on their faces. I'm coming back tomorrow for breakfast. I have now returned every single day for my whole seven day trip and explored a little of the menu. I have to say though I bought I think 15 combo Pupusas in that time frame and every single one was amazing. The staff are also SUPER friendly and the atmosphere is enjoyable. Please give it a try if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food is fresh and flavorful. I had steak and pork tacos along with a pork pupusas and I was not disappointed, the portions were generous. I do think it's a little pricey at $4.50 per taco but hey business is business, also I asked for no onions and received a lot of onions, other than that I highly recommend this restaurant and I will be eating there again. read more

The quality of the food was amazing. I'm from Los Angeles and looking for any type of Latin food places is hard (for me) but this one surprised me. I stumbled on it by accident and figured why not give it a try. The inside is cute and comfortable yet lively. You can eat in or pick up to go. I got to go my food was ready in about 8 minutes. I got popusas revueltas the price was very reasonable and the person helping me was very kind my food with tip (for 2 popusas was under 10$) and in case you're wondering or care. Yes they have Mexican cokes. read more

Maria said they're getting ready to mark their one year anniversary on Cortez Rd West. It took me awhile but I'm so glad I discovered this spot. I tried the Chicken Tacos with red onion, cilantro, guacamole and mild green sauce. The tortillas were delicious as was everything else and the portions generous. Super friendly service, authentic music, and a opportunity to practice Spanish! The prices are good and I'm looking forward to tasting other Mexican dishes and branching out to Salvadoran food. Smart combo under one roof and West Bradenton needed an eatery like this! read more

The place was clean that you can smell cleaning detergent which is not positive for me but some might like that. I tried bean and cheese pupusas. It was good portion for one and it was tasty. I also got sweet corn tamales which was uneatable that I spitted out. But my kids ordered chicken tacos which were just tacos. If you go here stick with pupusas. read more

This is my second visit in one week. I am a gringo who was looking for good Mexican food. I found it by accident as I was driving by. The inside is clean and the wait staff is friendly and polite. Unlike some Mexican restaurants this food is not pre-plated and kept under a warming lamp. As far as I could tell I was the only one who couldn't speak Spanish and I loved it. My wife and I will be frequent guests at Maria's. Keep up the good work!!! read more
