Food was good only issue was beans & rice were cold on both our plates and draft beer was flat.

Middle of the road for sure.......salsa was one of the highlights, as it was good and full of flavor. My wife got the combo platter, which had a ton of oil in it. I had the asada burrito, but it was made in a way you could not pick it up, and the meat was very dry. read more

I've been coming to Maria's for years and then all the sudden Covid hit and they were closed! But not any longer, THEY ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER! Mario's opened back up in March 2023, but since it's off our beaten path we didn't know until we had an appt w a store next door and seen that Mario's was now OPEN. We ordered the Fajitas Estrella, which is shrimp, chicken and beef fajitas. Let me tell you that this was the most tender beef and chicken fajitas that I've ever had! The seasoning was on point. Quac and Pico was fresh! Just a great experience. We will be back again! read more

My boyfriend and I have been trying a new Mexican restaurant every week since living in the area and we were excited to try Maria's since we always drive by but unfortunately it was very disappointing. Our waitress was friendly but couldn't get anything right that we would tell her and didn't even know what Corona was. Asked for a hot and mild salsa and she gave us both mild, which just tasted like ketchup. The yellow cheese dip was good, it's one of those things they people either love or hate. The tamales had too much of the ketchupy salsa on them and very little flavor. Even the rice was super mushy. My boyfriend's steak chimichanga had no seasoning, not even salt. Sad to give this review but wouldn't return here. read more

World's greasiest burrito. So bad I had 2 bites. Didn't take any left overs. The ambiance was fine.

They need to learn customer service. No Mexican restaurant that serves chips and Salsa without asking tells me to pay a cost for eating when my family pays for full meal but one person!! read more

One of the ba-jllion Mexican restaurants in the Bentonville area, Maria's is good and inexpensive. Lunch specials in the $5 range are served fast and the dinners go for between $8 to $10. Really, what more could you ask for? Crispy fresh chips are served when you are seated, along with dishes of mild and hot salsa. It's a little mushy for my taste (I prefer pieces of tomato) but it was flavorful and easy to scoop while we waited for our meal. My two-enchilada's lunch was served with the usual rice and beans. The rice was just okay, but the beans were well above average for such a restaurant. I was really looking for a chile relleno, but they didn't have those on the lunch special. My table mates had the taco salad, which was served in those fried shell bowls. It looked pretty good. Would I return? Yes. It's good food, served fast. If you want to spend more, it's easy enough to do so. read more

Good food at a decent price!! Yelp location was wrong on the map. Said it was a 2minute walk, but it was more like a 5 minute drive.

It's great to have this place open again. The food is ok and the service is pretty good.

This was our first time at Maria's. I'm on the fence- Service was outstanding (Our server was Cindy) The food tasted good but was very greasy. The hot salsa was excellent and I appreciate that they serve each customer with individual bowls. I ordered the combo plate consisting of a quesadilla, a taquito and chicken and cheese nachos. Again, it was good but greasy and all tasted the same. I will visit again and try their tacos. read more

The food here used to be really good. The carne asada had lots of gristle. They used to put cheese sauce over the burrito, now it's served plain. I was very disappointed, won't be back. There are much better Mexican restaurants in the area. The server didn't even bring us all we had ordered. Also they up-charge you if you use a credit card. I didn't think the credit card companies allow that. Las Palmas is much better. read more

Grabbed take out last week. These guys are working hard. Everything was ready on time and everything was delicious when I got home. Best white queso and fajita quesadillas in town. Thanks y'all! read more

We were very surprised . My wife is from Honduras and we both loved the food. The service was great even with a busy restaurant. Best so far in Arkansas! read more

My husband and I ordered food to go and the servings are huge and delicious! Customer service is excellent! The restaurant had a great atmosphere and we definitely would go back! read more

Complimentary chips and salsa. I usually get hot! Ordered chicken milanesa which comes with rice, beans, tomatoes, and a half of an avocado along with choice of flour or corn tortillas . Has a full service bar with 8 beers on draft. TVs playing sports above the centrally located bar. read more

I thought Maria's would be something special with its nice atmosphere albeit a bit dark but, I wish that they would lower down the price. I can understand though since they probably have to recoup what they have paid for their interior decorator. They were obviously overcharged just like what they are doing to their customers. As for the food, nothing really stood out. I got a fried tilapia which I rarely get since it is just fried which frankly I can do myself at home for a fraction of the cost. But, after seeing the prices of their other offering, that was the only one that looked reasonable. This place is really unremarkable. I do not think they have anything that stands out from other Mexican restaurants around town. At least, Abuelo embraced its identity of an inauthentic Mexican restaurant. This place has the inauthentic feel but with the typical Mexican food. Unfortunately, the price is inauthentic too. So, yeah... you have better options. Either go for the authentic or the inauthentic, but Maria went for the middle ground, picking the worst of each kind. read more

Ate there for lunch. Fast friendly service. Ordered #1, two steak fajita tacos. Good flavor but the flour tortillas soaked thru very quickly and requied a fork to eat the second one. Will give it another try and see what happens next. read more

Ewe eeww ewwww!!!! Literally so gross and disgusting. The salsa taste like dish soap, my food was swimming in grease, and the waiter was so unreasonable. Plus them talking smack about me to other employees is unappealing and so rude to the customer. The bathroom were atrocious didn't even have a lock on one. I will never come back!!! How rude. read more

This is my go to Mexican when in Bentonville! Authentic and good quality. Fast service complete the meal and deal. Don't miss it if you want a good meal on time. read more

Great Mexican restaurant, food is wonderful, salsa is hot and the service is quick. You are in and out pretty fast. Little weird on cashier and payment having to look for someone but I think it's just because they keep their staff limited. Also have a great tortilla factory right next-door Yum read more

IIs the best Mexican food in Northwest Arkansas Have a tear six times the service is excellent and the food is always been the same every time excellent try to guacamole fajitas read more

Went here for lunch when visiting for business. We were seated immediately and had multiple salsas delivered to the table with fresh chips. We opted to order the table side made guacamole which was absolutely amazing - highly recommend. I had the lunch combo (chicken and steak) fajitas and was very pleased. Unlike some other Mexican restaurants I've tried, the flavoring and seasoning of the fajitas was perfect. It was accompanied by tortillas, sour cream, beans, rice, lettuce and pico. This was a nice little lunch spot and the service was also spot on. I'll be back next time I'm traveling. read more

What can I add to the other great reviews? The service was prompt and pleasant and the food was HOT (as in not just warm) and FLAVORFUL. The prices are super fair too! I hear the place has been redecorated recently. I wouldn't know I've just been turned on to Maria's. The staff keeps the place clean and tidy. Yes you can spend more. Yes might find fancier digs. But NO, you will not find better food. read more

Very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. Unfriendly hostess and staff. Chips were very thick, hard, and stale tasting. Queso was cold. Food mediocre. Went to this location MANY times before the remodel. Disappointed. Don't plan to return. read more

Inexpensive, but tasty. Huge seating area. Oversize drinks, and our queso dip was served in a large cup (not a little salsa bowl). Shrimp in the fajitas were marinated in garlic and tasted like something I'd have expected in a higher end place. Not much veggie selection, but I'd definitely revisit. read more

There food sucks and they charge for water with fizz out of the fountain! Always filthy tables and filthy utensils ! Dont go there u will get sick ! read more

This place used to be the standard that I would judge all other Mexican restaurants by. My experience here last Friday night with my family is the worst excuse for Mexican food I have seen. And I have eaten tacos from a literal roadside shack. Chips were overdone. My chimichanga had some sort of yellow paste on it that in third world countries might be called cheese. My wife took one bite from her chicken chimichanga and couldn't eat the rest. I ate all mine and spent the better part of the next day on the toilet. Told my sister and brother in law about the experience and they couldn't wait to tell me that they had the same experience. I am at a loss, this place used to be my favorite place to eat. read more

We walked in and stood there without being acknowledged. I had to ask to be seated. We sat down and over ten minutes later we had still not had anyone come see us or take our drink order. I had to ask. Our glasses stayed empty. When they finally brought out my taco salad it was drenched. Floating around in some oily water which soaked right through the shell. They served it to me that way. After I just now complained, the waitress said that's because they microwaved it. Friggin microwaved it. I complained enough to get only that waived off the check. Seems after everything it should have been free for both of us. Horrific service. read more

I give one star for the convenience of the location only. I always make my review of restaurants based on one factor; Would I come here again...? The answer is a resounding NO. The prices are in line, but the food is disgusting. A very poor flavor and quality of food here. Stay away. read more

My mate and I have mixed opinions about this restaurant. I enjoyed it for the most part. He wasn't so impressed. I love their chips and salsa, in fact, I'd rate their salsa as the best. It wasn't spicy enough for him. I had the chile relano's, one of my favorite dishes, and wasn't disappointed with it. I didn't care for their Spanish rice, but their refried beans were the best I've had in a restaurant. My mate had the variety enchiladas, and was disappointed that the red and green sauces were mixed together. I have no complaint about the prices or the service, which was excellent, by the way. read more

Great lunch specials! The salsa is delicious too! I've loved everything that I've ever had here. The only downfall is that they get really busy during lunch time, but they always get you seated quickly! Fajitas and taco salad are my favorites! read more

Yum!!! Plus affordable, good service,and friendly. I hope to eat here often :)

This is our favorite place to get fresh guacamole in town. It is made at table side if you are wanting to order. Also if you are a big avacado fan like me, their spinach chicken is the way to go. My son is a fan of the Burrito Mexicano it is only $6 and big. The rest of the menu is similar to other Mexican places in town. The prices are very fair. read more

I'm very disappointed! I ordered their chicken nachos and the chilie rellenos and when I got them, there were hardly any chips, they were cold, and there were absolutely no employees to be found when my order was up, and my order just sat in the window for who knows how long. The rice and beans that come with the chilie rellenos were also cold and flavorless. Between lackluster food and bad customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Taco Bell had better food and customer service than this place. read more

Pretty much one of the worst Mexican meals I have ever had in my life. Waiter was surly. He slopped salsa over the table. When I asked him to clean it up he acted like I'd asked him to do something he shouldn't have to do. When we couldn't stand the rudeness anymore, he shoved my husband to one side while we were leaving to get past us. Unbelievable! I am never going there again even though we had eaten many times in the past. When we asked for the manager we were told they didn't have one at that location but only at their Rogers location. Never again! read more

ABSOLUTELY delicious!!! One of my favorites!! Great atmosphere, delicious food my favorite being their chile relleno. Friendly efficient staff! Nachos are delicious too freshly made! read more

Great food, very nice staff and a nice atmosphere. Parking is kind of tight. I enjoy the Monterey plate almost every time I visit. 1 beef fajita taco, 1 chicken fajita taco, 1 chicken burrito, rice and beans. They bring out chips and a well made salsa. read more

Overlooked tamale that they hid under a mountain of cheese. I love cheese but this was gross. Tacos tasted like boiled cheap hamburger meat with no flavor. The chips tasted burnt. The need to improve to match their update restaurant. The server was very nice read more

It is what Mexican Food should be. Cheap with good flavor. (and not a fast food joint) Service is very good. English as a second language is actually one of the things I like in a good Mexican food joint's service staff. Have only eaten at the one in Rogers on Walton...but I would hope they are close to the same. read more
