Great experience ordering takeout! It was easy to place the order over the phone and the estimated pickup time was accurate. There was a good amount of seating and parking also for those that want to dine in. We ordered the guacamole, birria quesadilla, and birria pupusa read more

Food was very delicious! Very popular spot with authentic Mexican kitchen. I had the Quesadilla Birria and it was delicious. The orders are large and come with a lot of food, nobody leaves hungry. We came for a birthday dinner with 15 people and even though we were many, food came out quickly and deliciously. read more

What an AWESOME find! Came here while on a work trip for lunch on Taco Tuesday-- $6 for 3 tacos cant be beat and everything is authentic and delicious! We got chips and guac as an appetizer which accompanied the free chips (smothered in cheese and beans) with 2 generous helpings of sauce. The guac was exceptionally yummy and the chips were perfectly crispy! My entrée was birria ramen which was delicious!!!! Totally did not expect 2 full birria tacos to come with it! The ambiance is bright with christmas decorations and neon signs, but is very laid-back and makes for a comfortable environment for a meal. Service was prompt and we were also told upfront about the regrettable 3% credit card charge for Amex cards; we were asked if we had any other cards to help avoid this charge which feels like really nice customer service! So excited to come back and try so many of the exciting menu options Writing this as I wait for my order of chips & guac, a mexican coke, and an awesome combo trio of a burrito, a taco, and enchilada. read more

$6 taco Tuesdays is the best. Totally worth it. Came around 12PM and it was not too busy. Got our food in a few minutes. The tacos are a decent size. One order with 3 tacos filled me. Loved the beef Birria and al pastor tacos. Dining in, you get complimentary tortilla chips that's topped with refried beans and cheese. The two salsas were good, both had a little heat. read more

I was just there to grab lunch, kind of disappointed. The pictures they advertised looks like nothing you actually get. The first thing she said to us was " Our prices went up " we're like OKAY! To us it doesn't matter as long as the food is good! We ordered 2 corn in a cup and pork quesadilla, it was almost 40 dollars! It was just okay and the presentation of the food was not anything we expected. It just looked sloppy like it was just thrown in there. The place is nice and clean, we were the only ones in there and took about 30 mins for our take out order to be ready. I don't think we'll be coming here again. Good to try but not up come back again. read more

My first time trying Maria's and most of the items I ordered were pretty good. It's definitely an authentic restaurant, but I'd love it if they kicked it up a notch with some of the seasonings (But this IS South Jersey and NOT South of The Border, so you REALLY do have to cater to the folks living in this area...lol). The stand out menu item that I ordered was the "Heavy Burrito" with Spicy Chicken. It lives up to its name! It's HUGE! Plenty of rice and chicken and tastes good, but again I'd love it even more if it were a bit more spicy. I take Nexium, so bring on the spicy foods, baby!! LOL! This burrito probably could have fed 2 people, but I wasn't sharing, nope!! My 2nd favorite item was the Plantains! Oooh wee!! Served warm with a very tasty glaze - Absolutely delicious and mouthwatering! Definitely get this if you go there, in fact order 4 or 5 of them!! The Mexican rice - 8 ounce side dish was cooked well ..just a wee bit more seasonings would have made it superb. The Chicken Flautas were cooked well.. 4 of them per order. But more chicken inside would have been better. One bite and I yanked out almost the entire piece of chicken from the flautas! The taste was good though. I probably won't order this item again. read more

Walked in and this place smells amazing!! Delicious meals with fresh chips and guac. What more could you ask for? Definitely be a place to return to for some great Mexican food. read more

Loved our meal. The complimentary chips came with delicious and large bowls of red and green salsa. Our chicken nachos were so tasty. I chose carnitas tacos with all the fixings. The restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated. My only complaint was the paper menus were handed to us with a casual remark that the prices were not updated. Yikes. When the bill arrived, we realized the prices were at least $5 more per item. Be prepared to ask for the actual price. read more

The service is excellent. The food, unfortunately, has declined in the quality. The decor is very pretty.

Definitely not worth the hour long wait keep in mind the restaurant was not packed at all, I'm never coming here again

Located in a low-key plaza that's kind of tucked away. Server didn't seem like she was having a great day but still provided solid service. Ordered a torta, tacos and burrito to share between me and my girlfriend. Definitely way too much food for the two of us, we probably would have been fine not ordering the torta altogether, but I'm glad I did. The torta is huge, and everything we ordered was pretty generously portioned. It s a bit pricier than some other places but not by too much. Everything was really good. read more

The building was empty when I was there, but I'd bet that it probably gains a good few groups later in the day. Walking in, I immediately adored the Dia de los Muertos paintings everywhere, and the server was helpful in explaining differences between Hispanic food terms. The digital QR code menu was a bit of a hassle (I'm not fond of things that are overly techy where they don't need to be), but I ended up finding a good Super Burrito, with shredded pork as the chosen protein. The TV in the corner was playing some little YouTube comedy videos, so that made waiting a smidge easier, but in all honesty, food came out very quick anyway. Good, because the smell of it cooking was driving me crazy! My GOD though, it really was a SUPER burrito -- It didn't need sides, everything you'd ever want was already stuffed inside. My hands could barely hold it as I lifted it to take a bite (How can anyone eat this properly?! Maybe upside-down...), and after about 20 minutes of acceptably slovenly behavior, it was a clean plate. Their Tortas were just as big, and stuffed to the brim with various meats, lettuce, cheese, and beans... but I'll admit that I still personally enjoy ones from my favorite food trucks moreso. 10/10 regardless, I'll absolutely make this an occasional lunch location! Even if it's just slipping in to grab something before heading to work. read more

Please get some help ( another server maybe). The food is excellent the only problem is the service, the two waitresses were nice but they were overwhelmed, restaurant was almost full and the waitress were taking orders, bussing tables, running dishes and doing takeout orders which is a lot for two people therefore food was brought to our table in parts, taking too long, food getting cold. I enjoyed very much the food and I want to give a try again but please try to have someone dedicated to takeout order so this ladies can focus in the dining room. read more

Food was !! Everything was excellent! Our new favorite go to Mexican restaurant!! We started off with nachos. Flautas and queso fundido. The fundido was probably the best I had. My wife had the corn, which was out of this world. My heavy burrito was phenomenal so big and packed with chicken cheese rice all the goodies. my kids had about 18 tacos and the sampler finished dinner off with the churros and ice cream which was delightful. read more

So I'm visiting from out of town, and where I come from we have Menudo on the weekends. So I can tell you that the Menudo here is authentic. The service was fast, and the atmosphere here is decent. Overall, I glove this place a 8 out of 10. read more

So good, I just had chicken tacos, rice, beans, and plantains. And yes!!! Yummy. I honestly almost went back today but thought better of it. I at least left my lunch at home yesterday. The restaurant is nice and the decor is on point. I got there just after opening so I was the only one there. I saw you could order online and probably by phone. I ordered on sight to-go due to time, but I wanted to see if it were a place I wanted to come back to for dinner. It is! It's not a huge place but there is space for a larger party of about 8 or so or just for 2. Ordering was a breeze. The menus are old so prices and specials may be different but they tell you right away. That's okay for me. I'm excited to try again! read more

FIVE STAR reviews are the best, and so are Maria's mixed grill fajitas. I have had fajitas up and down the east coast. I feel bad that my buddy in DC could not be here with us to enjoy them, but my wife and I braved on without him. (Sorry, T.) Fajita plates should be sizzling hot and full of grilled meats and vegetables, and mine was. The veggies had a nice char on them and the meats were fresh, tender, and abundant. First up, though, was the bean covered tortilla basket. Not a lot of chips, but just enough with refried beans that were so tasty, I could eat a bowl of them as an entire meal. My wife enjoyed every bit of the guacamole and the...I don't know what it was...but it disappeared from the plate. (I am told it was the Bistek Asado Guarache.) My fajitas came with a delicate, homemade Mexican rice that lacked the lame peas and carrots so may places put in their rice. And, like the beans, the rice could be eaten as an entre. Please don't make me describe the homemade flan. One look at the attached photo says everything you need to know. All-in-all, Maria's Mexican Restaurant is a little, hidden gem of a place that will leave you full, satisfied, and happy. We cannot wait for our next visit! read more

Second time we go and the service was just as bad as the first time. The first time we went it was slow but the staff look disoriented. We thought maybe it's just a bad day. I used to be a server so we gave them the benefit of doubt. Second time we decided to order to go. We were told it would be about an hour. we showed up when we were told and they didn't even have our order. We paid $215 and they told us it would be another 45min. We canceled the order and went for pizza! The place has decent food, a bit pricey and the service is one of the worst I have experienced. They need to hire more help and train them properly! read more

I ate at Maria's last night and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. My wife and I went here because of the good reviews, but left feeling like we paid a ton for mediocre food at best. When we arrived there were three gentlemen waiting for their takeout orders. It seemed like the kitchen was way behind and also they messed up a few orders. One guy was there for over 40 mins waiting for his food. It took my wife and I about 10 minutes to be told to take a seat anywhere in the restaurant. From there we had to wait another 10 minutes to order just our beverages. We ordered the Crazy Corn, guac, and chips to start (along with our drink order). It took about 15 minutes for the corn and guac to hit the table. The Mexican corn was decent, but I've had way better elsewhere. The guac was a disappointment- very salty and (it may just be how they do it), but there was no pico in the guac and the cilantro was barely chopped. I'm not sure why it took so long to bring out these dishes and to feel like they were prepared in a rush was a disappointment. My wife ordered one of the combo meals and she enjoyed it. The refried beans and rice was very tasty. I ordered the grilled chicken huarache. To me, it felt like it could use some pico and/or lime to balance it out as the meal tasted very dry. Some of the chicken pieces were a little chewy. I couldn't eat much of it. Overall, the place was clean, but cold (I wore my jacket the whole time). The service, although delayed, was very nice. The price was way too high for the food we received. With tip, we paid almost $90. Coming from living in NYC, where prices are sky high, we could have easily gotten a much better tasting meal for less cost. My wife said she would go again to try some other things as she liked her meal, to me however, I wouldn't return. read more

It was just ok. The service was very slow. The fajitas were over cooked. The atmosphere is nice, staff is friendly.

As a Mexican all I can say is I absolutely recommend this restaurant. Delicious authentic Mexican food. We loved everything we ordered, no complaints at all. Food was great! They had aguas frescas, which for me it's a big deal, and they were delicious. Corn tortillas are freshly made. Place is clean, they brought our food right away. Will definitely return, don't mind driving 1 hr for this place. It's hard to find a good Mexican restaurant, and I found it. Thank you! read more

Visiting from georgia. Incredible food. Very authentic. Chips come with beans and cheese on them with two kinds of salsa(green is my favorite and it was amazing). We ordered the molcajete and elote.

Our second visit wasn't as nice. For one thing, they pulled a bait and switch: the menu gave one price for my entrée, but they jacked up the price on my bill. When I pointed it out, the waiter just said it was an old menu and didn't offer to honor the listed price. I thought that was tacky. Enough to keep me from returning. I ordered the same chicken enchiladas topped with salty beef, but it was just not as good this time. So I'd say the quality of the food changes with the day. read more

We were on our way to try the new, larger space that Parilla La Fogata had moved to recently. Unfortunately when we arrived around 7:30 on a Sunday night they were closing. One of the employees apologized, stating they were out of many items as they had been so busy with Cinco de Mayo and the weekend business. A quick Yelp check and .2 miles later we pulled up at Maria's Mexican Restaurant. The restaurant itself is very simple; the dining room is off to the side and holds 15-20 customers. Our servers were very friendly and pleasant. Our order was taken promptly and our food came out fairly fast. This surprised me as our server told us they were swamped by take out orders. I ordered the quesadilla Tinga with spicy chicken and sautéed onions. This was excellent and had flavors that worked well together and really popped. It was a decent sized portion also. My daughter had the tacos, which were also very good. My wife had one of the shrimp dishes and this had an excellent sauce. We didn't order dessert as they were out because they were so busy but they had tres leches cake and Churros. That will have to wait for the next time. 4 yelp stays for Maria's and a nice plan B for Mexican food. read more

Delicious fresh authentic Mexican food. Best in the area. Great for dining in and takeout. Highly recommend.

Horchata and dynamite corn tortilla tacos.... What more can you request? I tried four different of tacos at this place for this first visit, and I'll definitely make another visit. They were flavorful, tender, and some had my spice level. Love it. The place is not fancy, but that's not why I stupid in. Nice job. read more

Mexican food is on point, definitely a place I'll visit again drinks, dips, friendly staff

Super Guarache? Never heard of it before so I was ready to try something that maybe (?) everyone has tried. I liked that it was a lite dish that wasn't smothered in cheese or refried beans. The refried beans were more of a spread on top of a large tortilla shell. A few bits of sliced avacado, chunky cheese (not shredded), shredded lettuce, grilled chicken and a small bit of sour cream. I topped it off with the complimentary salsa starter (with chips, refried beans and cheese) that they offer. Service was really good considering the room was filling up fast. The layout itself is very simple: a picture here in there in a giant box sized room with 15-20 tables. I loved that the chef or owner came out to check on guests. It was a good place to come by and even though it wasn't "fancy" I'd come back again. read more

Came here based on the recommendation of a friend. The food was absolutely delicious. It was hot, fresh, and tasted fantastic. The service was friendly and didn't overpower/ignore you. The music and decor is fun. The portion sizes for the indivisible meals were good and they didn't skimp on the meat of the dish. (I've been to some places where you can barely find the meat, it's buried in layers of lettuce and tomato.) I can't wait to come back. read more

Awful. Awful food. Awful service. Waited around for our food for almost an hour and it was NOT that busy. When it did finally come the food was soggy, tasteless, cold and definitely overpriced. The actual space is fine, classic strip mall restaurant. Will not be coming back ever again and most definitely would not recommend this place to anyone I respect. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in the area that are far better read more

Wow! Amazing Mexican food! We ordered the most amazing entree "Molcajete mar y tierra" Basically this was a bowl overflowing with everything that's good in life... steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, clams AND crab legs. This huge bowl fed the two of us and we still had plenty to take home. We finished our meal off with freshly made Churros that were filled with a boston cream filling. All of the dishes were beautifully presented and had equally amazing flavor. I was totally impressed with everything I ate here. Also, the owners Carlos and Maria were gracious hosts. They made sure our meal was special one. I will definitely be returning!!! read more

Maria's has it all, great food, top notch service with a smile, and a fun dining room. Try the Crazy corn, it's delicious!

Not what I look for in my mexican food. The guaruche meat was very fatty, and lots of lettuce. The fajitas were just okay. The fundido was basically a solid block of cheese and not dippable at all. read more
