    Steak Fajita Quesadillas
    Vincent D.

    They give complimentary chips and salsa the red one is okay, but if you ask for their spicy salsa, they'll bring it out, and personally, that one is really good. To drink, I got the agua de Jamaica. It was good, not overly sweet, and they also offer free refills, which is always a plus. I ordered the steak fajita quesadillas with grilled onions, tortilla soup, and sour cream enchiladas. All three items were good. I wasn't really feeling the rice, but the beans were much better. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly.

    Food is really good, salsa is amazing and service is great. Price can't be beat either!

    Food was great and for being my first time I really enjoyed the ambiance. Lola was our server and she was not only fast but very friendly. I will be back again and Lola you better be ready .

    Maria's Mexican Restaurant Oh, how I love Maria's Restaurant! When my husband and I moved from Dallas to Frisco, the Tex-Mex scene took a nosedive, so you can imagine our excitement when we decided to move even further northeast to Fannin County. But fear not! We stumbled upon Maria's in Melissa, just a short 15-20 minute drive from the Trenton/Bonham area. The Tex-Mex is absolutely spot-on. From the chips and salsa to the entrees, you won't be disappointed

    Our first meal from Maria's was a takeout order of their combination fajitas. We are new to the area and heard that this place is a local gem. It did not disappoint! The meat had good flavor and was tender. Generous portion sizes as well. We will definitely be back in person to try something else on the menu!

    Great place, first visit! Fairly large seating area. Service is very good! Love their chips, however they are the thicker chips, which makes them great for dipping! The salsa was excellent, with just the right amount of bite! There were four of us we had different dishes, all of which were excellent! Everybody says you can't get a bad meal here. Everything was great! Our experience would back that up! Would definitely come back here, and highlyrecommend it, however, it's a long ways from where we live and likely only will come if we're in the area.

    So bright and cheerful.

    The service at Maria's is top notch. Love the bright colors and Mexcian decor. It's a little tricky to find. I wouldn't drive a long way to eat here. However, if you're in the area and craving Mexican absolutely stop. The food is good. Nothing great, but certainly not bad. The portions are huge and loaded with fresh veggies. It was busy on Friday night for dinner so go at an off time or you may have a wait.

    Food was fresh and flavorful. Clean establishment. Good service. Over all ok and worth trying but not my most favorite place in the area.

    Block-o-Cheese

    If there was a contest for the most disappointing Mexican food in town, this place would take first prize without even trying. The queso came out as one solid block of yellow, with zero seasoning, and possibly no jalapeños at all. Honestly, a jar of Tostitos queso from Walmart would have put it to shame. I ordered the chimichanga with fajita beef--big mistake. It looked sad and tasted worse, like the cow had given up halfway through life. My date's enchiladas weren't any better--the chicken was somehow bone-dry, despite being drowned in sour cream sauce. The refried beans were pale and looked like they'd been cooked by someone who's never seen a bean before. The cheese enchilada tasted like someone hacked off a slice from a block of government cheese and hoped the oven would finish the job. Spoiler: it didn't. The service matched the food--mediocre at best. I had to ask several times for water, even while the server made eye contact with me, like we were in a silent stand-off. Save yourself the trouble (and the stomachache).

    Food and service was great. Entrees we're reasonably priced. Will be back to try other dishes. The onions was charred just the way I like it.

This restaurant has some really fun decor! You walk in and it immediately feels like a party because it is decked out! We sat outside on the adorable patio because we brought our dog with us. That's another plus! You can bring your dog! The patio is completely covered and has plenty of fans and heaters depending on the weather. It looks like there are even screens that come down when needed, so another plus! Their happy hour drinks are $5. A $5 margarita? YES! I didn't get to take pictures of everything because I was just so in awe of the quality of the food, drinks, and service. I had a taco salad, and my husband had a quesadilla. We also tried the deviled eggs and they were so good. Everything was a 10/10. We can't wait to come back!

We'll be back.
