Very nice people running and super cute spot inside . Maybe I'm spoiled after living in SoCal for 25 years, but I wasn't overly impressed. On the other hand this is upstate New York, so relatively speaking it was good compared to other Mexican places around here. I got the Tres Tacos, I thought chorizo was best; bf got enchiladas which he really liked. He also got the house margarita which he also liked a lot. read more

We were seated fast and order was taken quickly afterwards. Waitress said there were no specials, so we ordered margaritas that came in martini glasses. The margaritas were small for the cost, but tasty. They have a small menu. I ordered the beef tacos. They were decent. I was surprised that they charge for chips and salsa. It hit the spot but I think there are better choices in the area. read more

The staff are always super friendly. Must have starter is their quesadilla. I prefer just the cheese, but others in my party get it with chicken. Their salsa is amazingly good. I will typically order the Jesse or Gloria. Allows you to pick a couple items from ala carte. If you get a burrito, recommend you as for the toppings (L, O, Tom) inside and get it sauced (pick a sauce they put over the top enchilada style). Hands down the best authentic Mexican style place in Rochester. Hidden away in the basement of the old church on main in webster. It's our favorite go to place after hitting up AMC. read more

Warning: Not written by AI. This place has homemade FLOUR tortillas. I'll say it again. THIS PLACE HAS HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS!! What?! Let's just talk about that for a sec. Can you name any other Mex. Restaurant that does? Maybe corn but not flour. It takes time and a steady hand... which is why you dont see it often. Plus this place has a killer Carne Asada plate (their fajitas is a classic carne asada plate). And oh, their guacamole, is all 100% avacado. Some places play with it a bit too much. I guess you might say I'm a guac purist. How in the $%#@ is this place getting just 3 stars? Because there are some who have embedded large sticks in their ass. They would be a lot less fidgety if they just take it out and have a blended margarita with salt on the rim. Gretta and Mo are great! Thank you and in the immortal words of James Brown- "Please PLEASE" Do not stop making those beautiful, soft, luscious, and perfectly curvy in all the right places tortillas. read more

Food was excellent! Our server was very friendly and nice. Very cute place. We waited a while for dinner, but it was well worth the wait. I have dined in Mexico while on vacation and the food at Maria's is comparable. Our waitress was very attentive as she came out with a basket of homemade nachos and salsa. My grandson had a dark beer, while his lady friend and I had a traditional margarita...all delicious. I have been going to Maria's for many years and have always had a positive experience. Very comfortable seating in a Mexican hacienda atmosphere. I highly recommend if you enjoy authentic Mexican food with a cozy ambiance. read more

Ordered to go, overall good experience. All orders were filled correctly, it was easy to pick up, they even deliver the food to your car so no need to go inside. As for covid procedures, seems to me like they have a pretty solid system. It can be a bit difficult to find if it's your first time. It's in the back of the building. There's a small sign in a window of the front of the building facing the street. GPS recommended. The quality of the food is good. If I'm in the area I would definitely come back but overall it wasn't my favorite compared to all of Rochester. I had the burrito supreme. It looks to me that they use shredded beef instead of ground in most of their items. The beef was tender and nicely seasoned. Their refried beans are medium smooth, with chunks of intact beans present. The salsa is decently spicy, if you're not into spicy I would say its def hotter than your limit. Overall our party of four all enjoyed their meals, no big complaints, but also no emphatic yummy sounds either. read more

Nice family restaurant in Webster. Kind and hospitable wait staff. Restaurant occupies part of a former church and school, bringing an interesting layout but works. Good portions and tasty food, went with the three enchiladas with ancho chili sauce. Would be nice having some more items on the menu like tamales or seafood, although could be the restaurant focusing on current/popular menu items. read more

Horrible service. Horrible food. Worst restaurant experience I've had in this area. Ordered a Negra Modelo and the waitress asked me if I wanted the light or dark one. Waiting forever for the bill, no one ever checked on us. Just a horrible experience. read more

Special find in the basement of old church. Has real Mexican feel and the drinks plus good choices prove it to be true. Start with a margarita, holy mole appetizer and finish with Mexican flag enchiladas! Service is strong and authenticity is real. Enjoy! read more

Great food and service. Family ran restaurant with ethnic atmosphere. Not a chain! My favorite local Mexican restaurant!!

i'm very upset by the service tonight. me and my family have been going for over 30 years and were having a great night but unfortunately when we were almost done they handed us the check and we asked if we could add dessert and one last drink. they said yes and we ordered before my dad came back from the bathroom and had overheard a newer server say "they ordered more? what does she think this is Burger King? that she can have it her way? fuck that hoe!" we got our food and my father told us what he said so we talked with one of the women we recognized and then he proceeded to smirk about it and say that he didn't know what was talking about. so upsetting because we loved that place but they really need to be more mindful. (also for reference to the guy with the bandanna the woman you called a "hoe" is my aunt and has been going through some medical issues) read more

if you are looking for real authentic Mexican, food, look no other place that Maria's! not only are the margaritas out of this world the holy moly is to die for! Gloria special is one of a kind and so delicious it will become one of your favorites! The desserts are magnificent, and the service is outstanding! Best Mexican restaurant in Rochester NY!! read more

I've been meaning to try this place for a while now, so when my boyfriend and I were in Webster we decided to stop and try it. Since they are takeout only now since the pandemic I placed our order online and we sat in the parking lot and waited for our food. We only ordered two shredded beef tacos, with added cheese, two sides of rice and Maria's chips and salsa. After waiting 30 minutes and not receiving a call back or update on their website of our order status I called and the staff member told us he saw us out there and had an order ready but didn't know it was for us. He was very friendly, I just think their ordering system might be a little off. Two simple beef tacos with not much flavoring, and no added cheese. Only one side of rice, and while the salsa was good the homemade chips were so thick and hard they really weren't edible, without the fear of breaking a tooth. I wish I could say this place was better, but unfortunately it's just not... Three stars for convenient location and friendly staff. read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Entrance is in the back of the building. - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

Excellent food. Always tastes great. Sometimes the wait is a little long but we love the food.

Literally the worst food I've eaten from a restaurant (Mexican or otherwise). I think the photo from our takeout says it all, just horrible, bland, over-cooked food. We got takeout and had some people over, we ended up throwing this in the trash and getting Taco Bell instead, which is closer to authentic Mexican cuisine than this garbage. read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Steak Fajitas? I think? - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

This place is a class act. Good food selection. Canned beer is reasonable. The margaritas are sooo good. Nice people working here.

Maria's. I just met a Mexican place named Maria's. And it was the most beautiful mexican food in Rochester (to this date) I ever had. Maria's... The West Side Story for Mexican food is pretty lame. (see what I did there?) So we traveled to Webster, sent by multiple friends and co-workers, to this colorful restaurant in the downstairs level of an old school/church/community building. The minute I walked in and smelled Maria's, I knew it was special. It has the chotkes and the good music and the cactus in the window. It's the kind of sunny Mexican spot that I've been craving since I moved here. Get the fajitas, and a side of sour cream--that is my only complaint about this place (it didn't come on there on its own). The soft, pillowy flour tortillas are the way to go. The chicken is butterflied and golden, and the platter comes with lettuce, tomato, rice and guacamole to fill the tortilla. The chips here leave something to be desired (okay two complaints), but I have since returned three times to get more of Maria's fajitas. The service is great, the tortillas at least taste fresh, and it's just a fun experience. Snap, snap I'm ready for the next stomach rumble. read more

Yes, the service is famously slow. If you're expecting American style quick crazy service, youre not gonna get it here. But at the end of the day: 1. You'll never taste a better margarita 2. It's the most authentic, delicious Mexican food in town and it's worth the wait. read more

We ordered take out from this place and overall I think it was pretty good. I personally really enjoyed the blanco y negro enchiladas, and thought the beans were some of the most delicious I've really had- not processed to death they were flavorful and chunky. The guacamole was really delicious as well- very homemade tasting and full of flavor. All the meals we ordered were chicken and everything was really jam packed full of it, which I liked because sometimes you get scant amounts and can barely find it. The chicken wasn't like knock out of the park, but again, I enjoyed my dish overall. read more

Well I have to preface that I was a big fan when I first discovered this place approximately seven years ago. In the last three years I have come a little less and less to Maria's because the overall experience has gone down each time. My most recent check in\visit, will likely be my last. Why? Well let's start with the fact that this place was very successful early on, and yet no improvements to the place they are located in has been made. This time the "temporary" bathrooms were upstairs. The bar is still approximately 4' x 4', the waiting area even smaller than that. And then to top it off the place was very cold even with the plastic on the windows attempting to keep the heat inside. The restaurant is located in an old-school house, or church, and so I understand that the owners of the building may have certain restrictions. However with the early years of success a move to a larger place and/or more options would certainly be in order. And unfortunately it wasn't just the building itself that has really run its course this time. Our food came out superquick; for those who visited Maria's early on you would know that the wait was worth it because the food was very good. The only thing that came out warm was the kids quesadilla and nochos; both tortillas with cheese on it. And finally the reason that many of us for started coming here, the margaritas, at this point are okay at best. Sorry Maria's, early success, added with no improvements and diminishing quality of food equals goodbye read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Coconut Margarita (Egh) & Ultimate Margarita (thumbs up) - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

Enchilada dinner was good and lunch #9 is delicious Chicken Burrito.., i love the way they served the food and people are friendly

Poorly seasoned, bland food. Might be a good spot for those suffering from post COVID loss of taste. BYOBottle of hot sauce.

Location can be difficult to find if you've never been, but the food was very good. I ordered the super chicken burrito and really enjoyed it. Served with lettuce and cheese inside, rice on the side and everything covered in sauce, it was very enjoyable. read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Super Chicken Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

I have gone here since childhood and I'm older than I'd like to admit. An amazing Mexican restaurant great family business and they truly treat you as part of theirs. Just an authentic tasty place from the margaritas to the food. read more

They had a number of special margaritas. I ordered the coconut, which was delicious. After finishing the coconut I had a regular margarita and that was also very good. They offered such flavors as raspberry, honey dew and pomegranate. For the brave souls they even had a jalapeño. We ordered coconut shrimp and chicken nachos as an appetizer. The coconut shrimp was seasoned just right and was cooked to perfection. Nice and crisp on the outside. The nachos were served with salsa, sour cream and guacamole. The chips were exceptionally crispy. I ordered the special soup which was butternut squash. I especially enjoyed this because it was not loaded with sweetness. It was served with a bit of cream on top. It had a hint of spices. It was a hit with me. I ordered a chicken burrito with white sauce, loaded with lettuce, tomato and onion and a side of mole. It was served very hot and had a great deal of flavor. The mole was wonderful with just the right hint of chocolate. What a wonderful meal! read more

I have always enjoyed my meals here. The food is authentic per a friend who knows how it should taste. I usually have tacos but I want to try other food there to expand my review since I haven't been there for a while. read more

My wife and I ventured out to Webster to eat at an Authentic Mexican Restaurant, Maria's has been at the 75 West Main St location since 1980. We had a little wait and for a Friday evening, you're going to have a wait, we waited for about 25 minutes. Then we were seated, we met both Valerie and Iris, they and their Mom are the owners. Very positive and smiling group of people that enjoy what they do. My wife ordered a Mango Margherita and I had a Pina Colada, our appetizers were stuffed pickled jalapeno peppers with chorizo and melted cheese, our taste buds were being teased, and they had a little kick to them, nothing over powering very tasty. I ordered a cup of chicken tortilla soup, WOW! The Soup was Amazing, pieces of avacado, tortilla chips and shredded chicken along with some veggies that are Good for You! I could have that everyday. Our main courses came, my wife ordered the Enchilada Dinner, I ordered the Mexican Flag Enchilada Dinner, oh I have pictures of everything we ordered. Everything was cooked to perfection, I've been to Mexico, there's one thing you always remember when traveling abroad - The Food! I was stationed in San Diego, California I would take weekend excursions with my Shipmates and take the train to Tiajuana and go sight seeing etc, and then it came time to eat. It's taken me a long time to say this, Maria's has brought me back to reminisce about the foods I enjoyed in Tiajuana, La Joya, and Rosarito, Mexico. I haven't had any other so called Mexican Restaurant's bring me back to days of my past. What an Amazing experience, Thank You Iris and Valerie for creating a Wonderful Dinner for us. Here's our pictures to share with you. If you're in the village of Webster and are looking for an Authentic Mexican Restaurant, give Maria's a go. You'll not be disappointed, and you too will probably be taking leftover's home like we did. We'll be going back and the best thing is, we live on the West Side and if the food is that Good, we'll travel to help keep locally owned businesses in business. read more

Our first time eating at Maria's. The service was fantastic, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I ordered two green chili enchiladas which where very good. The rice and beans where flavorful and not bland like some places. My wife ordered shredded beef tacos which where served with corn tortillas and she found them to be delicious. My only complaints are we found the salsa served with the chips to be bland, and the prices. I felt that almost $15 for my enchiladas was a little high. Overall we enjoyed our experience and found it to be better then Monte Albans and will probably be back next time we're in the mood for mexican food. read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

We love Maria's! We went there somewhat sporadically (but regularly) before the pandemic, then for some reason really felt the urge to go there as soon as lockdowns happened, so we started ordering pick up on a weekly basis. It's been over a year now and we still get our usual via pickup nearly every single week! The food is great, authentic Mexican food that's reliably delicious, and the service (both for pickup and in the restaurant) is fantastic. I couldn't believe this place didn't have a higher rating so had to add my feedback as we love to support the local restaurants we love! read more

Years ago Maria's was our go-to Mexican joint in Rochester... well that is because there was nowhere else to go besides chain Mexican at that time. In the years since other decent competition has been established and thus we stopped going here despite their fine margaritas (smooth not sour). Their poor service is what kept us away. On Saturday night our group of eight dined here, with a reservation, and were surprised to find it somewhat empty (though it was almost 8pm). It was nice to see reasonably good service that was friendly and fast - a change from our many experiences in the past. The food itself was solid but I think Salena's servings are bigger and a bit less expensive. The margaritas are still good and strong... One big plus over other places in town is that they serve Tres Leches for dessert - very good and moist. Despite the overall positive experience I won't be running out to Webster when there is La Casa and Salenas in the city... read more

Maria's is one of Rochester's best restaurants. It is the absolute best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to (and I've been to a lot)! They have amazing food, a friendly staff, and great decor - really, you feel like you're in Mexico. I honestly can't say enough good things about Maria's. They even have live music on Fridays. If you enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine coupled with an authentic dinning atmosphere, this is the place for you. I go as often as I can. I will say this, the negative Yelpers are correct that there are sometimes longer than usual wait times but that's only because it's such a popular restaurant. They couldn't be more wrong about the food. P.S. They have the absolute best guacamole... try the 'Holy Moly' appetizer! read more

Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Unlimited chips & salsa - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

I used to go to Maria's once a week for years. I love their food because it tastes homemade, and it tastes homemade because it is! No pre-packaged or pre-seasoned anything. They poach their chicken and beef, and make the beans there, they also make all their sauces and their salsas and guacamoles. Yes, their meats can be a bit bland, but that is sort of the way it's done in some parts of Mexico and Central America, the flavor comes from the sauces and other stuff you add, or they add. So if I get a chicken taco or burrito, I always add their salsa, that is always good, but it will taste different every time, since it's homemade. Their enchiladas are awesome, and so are their fajitas. However, don't expect the fajitas you get at some chain restaurants, that's not the dish they make. Try also checking their specials, the cochinita special is to die for! Amazing pork dish. And their empanadas are nothing like you would see at the other empanada place, a different take and very tasty. Another surprise is their soups, they are homemade, but I think they use their poaching liquid on them because they are very flavorful, from their chicken taco soup to their Cream of Asparagus soup, their soups are wonderful surprises. Beware of the Margaritas, they go down way too easy to be safe read more
