Maria's checked off all the boxes Food, service, ambience If you're near Somerset, there's no reason not to stop at Maria's for some good Mexican food They had a pretty big lunch crowd, which means the locals know a good thing when they find it. I did two Chile Riano's off the à la cart menu and took one home, very good and very filling. My wife had a lunch special, enchilada and tostada, and she was very pleased with it and also plenty to bring home Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. We both said we would go back, which says something read more

Great margs. Fast service. Friendly staff. Clean dining room. Private party rooms. We love this spot!! It's great for a quick date lunch, fabulous lunch deals, or lunch with the kids. Obvs good for dinner too just more $$ so we try for lunch. Our daughter is obsessed with their rice. It's not often you find rice as a headliner but it's darn delicious. I'm a fan of their 2 item specials and have found some unbeatable combos. You could get the 3 item special for. Or much more and have a fabulous left over meal. #winning read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Mole enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Verdi, Nevada

Bright, welcoming spot with a clear local crowd--and it delivers! Chips & salsa are complimentary. Salsa had big chunks and a watery kick; chips were thick and homemade, though I'm a cantina-style chip girl myself. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros--a unique take but tasty. The rice & beans were some of the best I've had. Also got a taste of the Albondigas soup--hearty, flavorful, perfect comfort food. My kids had the Taco Salad and Burrito Panzón. I didn't try them, but no complaints and clean plates! No horchata or jamaica (super sad face), but the flan was light & smooth to make up for it. Service was quick and super attentive. Will absolutely be back. read more

We ordered: steak fajitas, chicken mole plate, and a cup of albondigas (meat balls) soup. The chips and salsa came complimentary and both were very good. We were starving after being on the road for several hours and they hit the spot! The albondigas soup was very homey and comforting. My picky child loved it, Especially the broth, packed with flavor and great for the cold day! The chicken mole was good too though a little on the sweet side. I mixed the salsa and it gave just the right amount of heat and additional savory flavors. The fajitas were good too. It seems They marinated the meat because it was packed with good flavors, not just salt and pepper only. We were happy with our meal and the bill.came to $57 before tip. Very reasonable for 3 people. The restaurant is clean, colorful and inviting! The bathroom is also clean and so thoughtful that they put a space heater there! Certainly a great find! read more

My first and only visit so far, but I hope to return the next time I'm in Reno. From the moment we walked in, everyone made us feel like an extended family member. The service was fast--ridiculously fast--as in, we got our meals within 5 to 10 minutes. The restaurant is clean and efficient. It's a family place, and most diners here will be locals or folks from Boomtown. My fajitas didn't disappoint, though I would've loved frijoles de la olla instead of refried beans. read more

Always on my top five list of Mexican food. The service is amazing, they understand my kid is disabled and they are very patient when we have weird requests. Very clean, and lots of space. read more

The salsa was a cross of salsa and pico de gallo with a bit of a kick. The enchiladas were good but could use a bit more filling. My husbands crispy taco was soggy. The service was good and they we quick to bring more salsa. The ambiance was nice. There were mostly festive booths and a smattering of tables. Didn't get anything from the bar so can't comment of that. read more

I recently had surgery and was hospitalized for awhile, so my niece wanted to order food for my mom, to help out. My niece lives in San Jose, but was going to do DoorDash. I told her my mom hadn't had Mexican food for awhile and really liked refried beans and rice. So she ordered those sides, as well as some combo entrees. Thankful for the convenience and delicious meals! My mom was set for about 3-4 days! We will definitely order from here again! read more

Ordered a burrito to be ready 4:25-4:30. At 4:12 I got the text that my burrito was ready. I'm 10 minutes away so my burrito wasn't hot when I picked it up. The steak inside was full of gristle. Very tough to chew. Didn't have much flavor. First time there and it will definitely be my last. read more

Food is solid but not spectacular. We eat here out of convenience because we live nearby. The margarita is literally the worst that I have ever had. Zero effort, and it is obvious. I have had better margaritas from a can. See the enclosed picture. read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - This is the house margarita. It looks like ice water and tastes like hand sanitizer. - Mexican Near Me - Verdi, Nevada

Despite being a tad pricier than other restaurants in the city, this restaurant out in the middle of nowhere is always packed with patrons and serving warm hugs on a plate. I grew up in New Mexico and am picky about my carnitas and enchiladas food. This place is legit. Few Mexican places cook good seafood - most overcook shrimp, fish, etc. Maria's is just right. The shrimp in cream sauce - I'm writing home about it! The first few times I was here, I wondered if there was a senior home across the street. lol. Every table was older. Well, Nonna took us here and ran into 2 other grandmas who also told their friends and family. Proof that word of mouth works! We have come back quite a few times. It's top of mind for when we eat out now! read more

First class food. First class service. Nice ambiance. Enough said. Try it; you'll like it.

Good food, even better service. Nice, clean environment. Have never had a bad meal here. Give them a try!

We came here for dinner and had a good experience. The food we order came out quick and hot. The crispy taco plate was good. With that said. I've had better crispy tacos and other establishment. The taco wasn't that flavorful. However the Flautas and the Tacos Mexicanos were done nicely. The service was great. Everyone was pleasant and friendly. The server checked on us frequently. The ambience is nice, casual, and cozy, with an open air setting. There are mixtures of booths and tables. Would definitely return. read more

Great service, food was very good, too. Didn't care for the house margaritas much, definitely get something else.

My husband and I wanted to try a new to us Mexican restaurant and since we've driven by this one a number of times we thought we'd give them a go. I ordered the nachos. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed. The cheese was too thick it was hard to eat... and the nachos lacked flavor. The margarita also seemed watered down and again lacked flavor. My husband liked his Mexican pizza though and the restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. The food came out pretty quickly also. Im on the hunt for some delicious nachos! This place was not that for me... Will keep looking around. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at Maria's Mexican Restaurant in Verdi, NV! I ordered the shredded beef flautas and let me tell you-they were fire. Perfectly crispy on the outside with flavorful, tender beef inside; every bite was packed with authentic taste and just the right amount of seasoning. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and everything came out hot and fresh. The staff was very friendly and made me feel right at home. If you're craving legit Mexican food, do yourself a favor and get the shredded beef flautas at Maria's-you won't regret it! Five stars all the way. read more

Wow, what a find! This place is surrounded by industrial stuff, but also it's next to a big suburb. And what a classic Mexican place. It is the type of restaurant for enchiladas and tacos and chimichangas. We got all of that and loved it! I recommend the fajitas! read more

I pulled off the freeway to avoid sitting in backed-up traffic. I was hungry, hadn't eaten all day. The restaurant looked to be a new building. Typical Mexican restaurant decor, paintings, sombreros and Modelo mirror. Walls are painted pretty bright. Chips and a very thin salsa was delivered to my table. I ordered a margarita on the rocks which arrived before I returned from washing my hands. Quick! Ordered molé enchiladas with shredded beef. Arrived quickly on a very hot plate Sparse amounts of refried beans and rice. The meal was excellent. Or I was just hungry. No garnish on the plate. Liberal amount of sauce. Decent price, $25+. If you are ever in the area and hungry, this is a restaurant that will deliver a quality meal. read more

Remember that really cozy family Mexican restaurant that you went to as a kid? Maria's remembers and provides a very pleasant dining experience with excellent service. With its charming Southwest decor you will be treated to all of your favorite Mexican dishes, but be sure to not miss their traditional tacos, up, leveled, and prepared fresh and tasty for the table! read more

Great service, great food & margaritas. Love the shrimp nachos and the queso blanco. Great options!

Went here after recommended by a local. Truly good food and took us in with 3 minutes to close and a party of seven. We all had different items but my fajitas were great sizzling platter and very good. We were all please with our food and service. Only negative I never got silverware or napkins. I had a Modelo and others had margaritas and soft drinks. We will be back when in the atea. read more

Love the food. Love the people. The chile colorado is amazing. My husband loves their crunchy ground beef tacos.

Good atmosphere, good food and GREAT customer service. All the staff was friendly with smiles on their faces which made the atmosphere chill but there wasn't any music on just talk noise. The food is good, not over the top great but nothing to complain about. We ordered a margarita and it was made immediately and brought back to the table. The decor is cozy and I wouldn't mind visiting again. It's a very comfortable setting. read more

The staff were so friendly and helpful. I knew what I wanted before I even stepped inside. I was heading home to Truckee and thought I'd just get it up there. I remember seeing this spot prior and I love giving a local restaurant a chance. The menu was clear, no substitutions. I ordered combo 10 and received the wrong order. It came out less than 2 minutes after it ordered. What ever, I'll just eat it. R minutes later a different waitress brought my real order. Half way thru the wrong order. No,worries but I then ordered a side of what I really wanted in the first place. It was good and so was the rest of my food. Average Mexican stuff. When I received my bill, there was a charge for a soda which I never ordered or received. Waitresses were so confused I just paid it and reduced my tip accordingly. I waited 5 plus minutes for this decision. I'll go back again but not unless I'm absolutely craving old style Mexican food that all taste the same .. . read more

We gave this place two chances and were equally disappointed both times. We tried the taco plate, taquitos, menudo, enchilada and chile relleno. Literally none of it was good. The chicken they use tastes like they forgot to season it. The taquitos are cut in half, which is.. unusual. The menudo was 'meh'. The beans are so flavorless and blended into the rice so well that my husband didn't notice them on his plate and asked me why I thought they didnt include them with his meal. After he had finished his meal. The salsa was pretty bland and tasted just like raw tomato. They also overuse the cheese and it's the kind with the visible oil that forms on the top. The service was strange. The first lady we dealt with was pretty friendly, the actual waitress was not, and didn't even want to attempt to make small talk, and the gentleman we dealt with a couple of times was overly shy. If you have any familiarity with Mexico, you could guess the area each of them were from just by their behavior towards us. Not necessarily a bad thing, but having to deal with so many personalities during one meal was unexpected. We don't plan to be back and wouldn't recommend it to others either. read more

We had driven by Maria's so many times that we finally decided to stop by for lunch to check it out. My theory on Mexican restaurants is to try their Mole Enchiladas. I was pleasantly surprised to see them on the menu here so I decided to try them with the chicken. They were delicious. My dining partner had the Tacos Mexicana and he reported that they were delicious as well. All in all a decent Mexican Restaurant! A little bit off the beaten path and with them closing at seven PM it makes it a little tight for a casual dinner. We will definitely be back because there are several other dishes we want to sample here! read more

Just wow - Maria's is fantastic! This gem is located on the way from Reno to Verdi. Kind of on its own, the parking lot tends to be packed on a weekend night and the rooms filled with patrons enjoying margaritas and fantastic food. We came here with a big group and Maria was wonderful! Quite frankly if I ever need to host a large event again - I know where I'm going. Maria was easy to work with on pricing, menus, drink tickets, and more! They have a big back room and can convert multiple tables into long family style options. The food was amazing and the staff friendly and attentive! I will absolutely be back over and over again! read more

We recently moved to Reno from California and decided to give Maria's a try. We ordered takeout. The food was ready pretty quickly and I received a text when it was ready (no waiting around). When I went inside to pick up the food, I immediately noticed that the entire restaurant smelled amazing. 3 servers greeted me warmly. Very friendly. While I was waiting for them to bring my food out, one of the servers thanked me genuinely for coming in. We were blown away by how fabulous the food was. We both got chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. The tortillas were a little toasted and it sounds strange to say, but even the rice was amazing. It was the best Mexican I'd had in a long time. I ordered deep fried ice cream, since you rarely see that on menus these days. It was delicious. I wish I had taken photos of our food. You gotta try this place. It is right off of the freeway and just down the street from our neighborhood. So yummy! read more

Maria's has been a favorite of mine for a few years. It is located in Verdi just off the freeway. It boasts a full bar, plenty of seating, delicious food, and quick, friendly service. I recommend trying the Shrimp Quesadilla (my fav!) or their delicious chips n' queso...fair warning, you may not have room for a meal if you order the queso...it's addictive! read more

We always have a great meal with friendly service. The margaritas are a special recipe that is delicious. Not too sweet, flavorful and a nice tequila taste.

Satisfying my wife's weekly Mexican food fix and trying a new place, we came here about 3pm on a Saturday. It is located easily off exit 5 on I-80 going West to Verdi. The exterior of the building appears to recently refreshed. When we walked inside the decor appeared similar to what you might for a Mexican restaurant but it was very open. The entrance opens into the main dining area, there is a bar with a TV against the back wall and to the right is an additional dining area. It was not very busy when we arrived and we were seated right away in of the booths. There was a party of 8 or 10 in the center of the room maybe a few other tables seated. The main dining area has roughly 10 or so booths and maybe 8 tables. The separate dining area has maybe 8 more tables. We were greeted with complimentary chips and salsa and had our drink orders taken. The salsa is on the chunky side and both my wife and I thought it was good. We perused the menu and a short time later had our orders taken. My wife decided to get the steak molcajete and I stuck with my standard chili verde burrito. Our meals were delivered in a timely fashion and looked awesome. The steak molcajete was still bubbling. On the side with the molcajete bowl it also comes with plate full of refried beans, pico de gallo, guacamole and tortillas. The chili verde burrito is not one of the best I have had in Reno but it hit the spot. I am a big fan of a good green sauce. I bit into a large chunk of fat on one of the pieces of pork which I did not eat. My wife had not had molcajete in a number of years and she enjoyed it. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and will stop again when in the area. read more
