    Tostada and rice
    Jeff W.

    I haven't been here in 18 years so I needed to come back again because my friend who lives in the Glendora says it is the best Mexican food in the area! I have eaten at La Via Kitchen in Via Verde (San Dimas) every week for three years with my friends. One of those friends is the guy that lives in Glendora, who says Maria's is even better than La Villa Kitchen! Very bold statements, right? So???? First off the place is twice as big as last time I was here, the waitress said they expanded about five years ago? Love the booths! Second off, the chips and salsa were very good, 99% chance they are supplied by La Tolteca in Azusa ..... lots of places use them in the area because they are so good. I had my standard shredded beef, taco cheese, and enchilada yada yada yada.... I have to say, my friend is probably right. This place is killer. The taco is packed full of shredded beef, no fat no weird stuff in there. AND there is at least twice as much meat as any other place in the area. Cheese enchilada was very good, even though there were a few onions inside when I ordered no onions. Race very flavor bowl with no weird stuff throwing in it either. Service was top-notch .... I love this place, it it's going to go into my permanent rotation !!

    Chile Relleno plate

    After a couple of recommendations, we decided to try this restaurant. It was good. Clean, ample parking, friendly service. The bar on the right side of the restaurant was really busy because it was opening day for the Dodgers, but the restaurant itself had a few empty booths. We waiting about 5 minutes before we were seated. The food was tasty, the sauce a bit on the spicier side, but had good flavors. I ordered the chile relleno plate. The Chille Relleno was good, but nothing that I would say I had to go back and order. My husband had the flautas and he said they were also good, a little too crispy for my liking (tried cutting with a knife, but they cracked across the table as if they were taquitos). The bar seems to be where it's at. The margarita was delicious! Very strong, felt like I ordered a double shot and they forgot the mix, but very good. The chips are excellent. I'd go back for the bar.

    This place is really close to Foothill Hospital. Stopped by and ordered Maria's Bowl and beef burrito - so yummy! Their beans and rice are the best! Service was quick and staff were very attentive. Large parking lot - shared with Vons. Will definitely be back!

    Entrance to the bar. We sat in the restaurant.

    Food: My husband ordered the grade burrito with carne Asada meat. The meat was chopped up so small you didn't have a nice bite of meat! It blended in to all the rice & beans. There was so much rice and very little meat! Very disappointing! $3.00 extra to make it wet really. Which the sauce coast .25 cents. I would not order again! Definitely not worth a rice burrito!! I ordered the two item dinner. Two beef tacos which were flavorful. The rice & beans were a salt bomb, inedible!! Salad was crisp lettuce only and a wedge of an unripe tomato. With sour cream no kick! Horrible!!!!!! Cook: I am also classically trained culinary chef. Salt brings out the flavors. NOT a salt bomb! Inedible!! Please back off on the salt in your rice and beans! Less rice in your burritos, and cube the meat into bite size pieces, please do not chop it so fine you can't taste or see the meat with 2 cups of rice WOW Very disappointing burrito! Decor ok, please wash off the dust and dirt that has collected on your fake plants inside your restaurant please. For our server: " 5 Fantastic service! Brought water with a lemon, chips and salsa, OK. We didn't get our servers name, because she didn't introduce herself. I would suggest saying. " welcome I am -------- and I will be serving you." To who ever our server was, you were a pleasure!!!! Thank you. We came in Wednesday May1/2024 @ 5: ish pm. She was a blond. We thank you for impeccable service. This was our first time at this restaurant sadly will be our last, not due to the service due to the quality of the food. Thank you. Culinary Chef, Jeanette

    First time! Never again. Worse food ever! Paid almost $22.00 for a combination plate that was served cold. Sent it back. They reheated and it just made it worse. I did pack it to go and got home and put it in the trash.

It's been on my dine at list for a while now. It's located at the Route 66 Promenade shopping center on Foothill Blvd and Lone Hill Ave in Glendora. Finding parking was easy. They weren't super busy. I was greeted upon entry. Got seated right away. Ambiance was quaint and romantic with lovely art on the wall. I only wanted tacos so went straight to the Taco Tuesday section of the menu. Btw, colorful menu with good selections. Three tacos for $6.99. Fish tacos baja-style was $3.99 each. I was down for all of them. Got a set of three tacos... one carnitas, one shredded chicken, and one grilled veggies plus 3 fish tacos. Yes, it was 6 pack for me. Lady staff was friendly, nice, and hospitable. Thank you ladies! All tacos were DELICIOUSLY AMAZING! Carnitas were flavorful. Shredded chicken was plentiful. Grilled veggies had great crunch... carrots were amazing! One small gripe, they were tiny tacos... wished they were bigger. Side of salsa for the tacos was perfect in taste... wished it was a full cup and not half. As for the fish tacos, superb at its best! Good size baja fish filet with fresh veggies drizzled with tasty chipotle sauce on a super thin and crispy tortilla. It was so good I had to order 5 more fish tacos to-go. You bet I did. I wanted my daughters to try them. I will return for more fish tacos if nothing else. Btw, guava agua frescas was not the greatest... it was tasteless guava to say the least. Highly recommend for Taco Tuesday visitors! Btw, Taco Tuesday orders do not come with complimentary chips and salsa which was surprising to me. How much are they saving with a handful of chips? Come on, hence, 4 stars!

But what happened next was unbelievable. While I was on the phone explaining that I did place the order and had proof, the chef actually said, "Well, anyone could call and say they placed an order." The audacity. Instead of listening, instead of checking, instead of even pretending to care, I was basically accused of making the whole thing up. And here's the kicker: after all that attitude, all that dismissiveness, all that unnecessary back‑and‑forth, the order ticket suddenly appeared. Miraculously. I still picked up the tamales because it was Christmas and I didn't have time for more chaos, but the damage was done. The situation could have been handled with basic respect and professionalism. Instead, it was handled with suspicion and rudeness. We never went back and honestly, that says everything.

Looks are deceiving from the outside. The decor is colorful and vibrant. It has a Ranch style/Western theme. The interior has seating along the windows, an open outdoor patio with tables/umbrellas. A separate banquet room is in the back, easy access from the rear parking lot for your private party. Here you can enjoy sports games on the TVs and drinks from the bar setup in this room. On July 18th, I was going to a picnic and came by to buy the tapas platter. There was beef empanadas in the order, no substitutions allowed, so I ordered ala carte instead. We had a Chicken Quesadilla (with sour cream and salsa), Shrimp Taquitos (with guacamole), and diced potatoes tossed in a mild red sauce and oven roasted Papas Bravado). I'm so glad, I live nearby so I can drop by for more of these Shrimp Taquitos and try other items from the menu. Notes: - Patio seating - Banquet Room - Cash or Credit cards accepted - Parking behind the restaurant, no charge. Sincerely, Rosemary

We will be back soon. Thank you so very much.! It is so nice to dine and have impeccable service and great food. Thank you Brandon G. We will request to sit at your section again. Thank you.

    This Mexican restaurant is right off the street, but I have to say, finding the parking is a bit of…read morea nightmare. There are three businesses all clustered together, each with a separate entrance, so I ended up accidentally parking in a private doctor's office lot and was told to leave. Eventually, I found the small parking lot with just four or five spaces so if it gets busy, it might be tough. But once I got inside, it was worth it! I entered from the back door, which passes through the restrooms on the left and the kitchen on the right, leading to a cute seating area. It's small but super cozy, with a lovely bar filled with lemons, napkins, and lots of hot sauces at each table: at least seven or eight types! But the real star here is the food. The tacos are absolutely incredible! fresh and full of flavor. I ordered three: carne asada, fish, and shrimp. The fish and shrimp both have the option to be fried or grilled, so I went with fried, and they were fantastic. The flour tortillas were perfect, and I also got a pineapple agua fresca. it was ice cold and so refreshing. The price was really reasonable, and I'm honestly surprised this place isn't more popular. I can see it being a hit so, definitely, I'll be coming back soon!

I also don't appreciate the poor attitude that two of the bartenders have been displaying lately. They have favorites and it shows a lot. I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.

I ordered the 2 chicken taquitos with a side of guacamole. They were tasty! They're not your typical taquitos..the shell is much thinner, almost like an egg roll wrapper, which gave them a different texture that I actually liked. My only thought was the value. The two taquitos were almost $10, and for that price I think adding a third taquito would make the portion feel a little more in line with the rest of the menu. The 3-taco combo was around the same price and included rice, beans, and a drink, so it just felt like the better value. Service was friendly, and there was plenty of outdoor seating, with some indoor seating available as well. Overall, it was a good lunch stop if you're in the area.
