An amazing find in the middle of shepherds town. Walking in was an experience to make us come back. The place was dressed with a twist of modern settings and cultural holidays. The host was super friendly and welcoming and could see that it was our first time there. He gave us Maria's famous picks and highlighted the fish tacos. Although we are in the middle of the mountains, the host was right on point and the fish tacos were amazing. Super crispy yet flaky and fresh, the Cole slaw supplemented a little bit of the sour that some consumers squeeze the fresh lemon for but it wasn't necessary here. It was also complimented with a smooth, delicious, and creamy salsa verde (or similar). We also tried Maria's chimi with the shredded pork. Now when I say juicy, I mean juicy. Topped with some fresh pico, sour cream, and guacamole...it had an undercoat of queso sauce. The chimichanga was perfectly fried and wrapped tightly with just the shredded pork inside. Every bite was mouth watering and filling and luckily they had some hot sauce and sriracha on the shelf for those that like things a little spicy. Oh...I almost forgot, they had a simple selection of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. Come on down to enjoy the food, small town, and welcoming staff here at Maria's.

Bought 3 Taco's, Nachos and Ghost Quesadilla. It was good, but not WOW, IMO. While the ingredients were fresh, the beef lacked seasoning. Restaurant was clean, good vibes, I'd return. Downside, the photos of menu are old. Same items but inflation is the likeliest reason the prices were 30-40% higher. I posted the new prices...

We stopped at Maria's Taqueria in Shepherdstown for a burrito bowl and quesadilla! I opted for ground beef in my bowl because I was sharing it with my 13 month old (who def approved ), and it was so flavorful and good! Very cool vibes and friendly staff. We didn't try it, but the guac looked really good! If you are a fan of Chipotle like I am, this is a great local alternative!

This place is an absolute must stop when in town. It's a gorgeous restaurant, tons of seating, beautifully decorated with a super helpful and efficient staff. We put our orders in with the very helpful server in front and when I say the food comes out quickly - it does. We basically sat down and our nachos were out already. The NACHOS! A warning and a love letter to these nachos. Truly some of the best I've ever had. The queso was absolutely phenomenal and loaded onto every layer. A more than adequate amount of sour cream and pico is piled high on these bad boys. The pork was also very flavorful. Now time for the warning, we got these as an app and it could've easily been a meal with leftovers. No regrets obviously but you've been warned - it's a very generous portion of food. Since I also ordered an entree not knowing those delicious nachos were going to fill me up let's talk about that. I got the traditional tacos, two chicken and one pork. Delicious. Piled high with perfectly fall off the bone meat, onions, cilantro and queso fresco. One taco is enough for a meal. They're double tortillas are certainly needed for these hefty tacos. Absolutely wonderful flavors though. My other half got the carnivore burrito and he loved it as well. So much chicken in it that he had a hard time finishing it too. Put it this way, we are around lunchtime and were only hungry again at 9pm. I can't say enough about this place, I hope they stay a long time so I can visit again someday. I'm a huge Mexican food fan and this is definitely not a place to sleep on.

Ok! These are the BEST fish tacos I have eaten in a long time! Holly cow, I highly recommend Maria's I haven't had a bad meal here.

[Coronavirus review] The latest in my series of businesses that have adapted to the coronavirus restrictions, this place does ordering over the phone or in-person. The West Virginia scenery of faded industry surrounded by shale and wood doesn't overlap in my mind with the sight of tacos, but it's actually a very good location right now, as there are a lot of nice areas to visit in the surrounding countryside, and not a lot of restaurants. It's only fifteen minutes from Antienam. My order was ready before I got there. They offer most items vegetarian or vegan, though I was a bit disappointed to discover that their veggie tacos were literally veggies; mostly peppers, onions, and a heavy dose of cilantro. Don't get me wrong, they were pretty tasty, but without beans the only real protein source was some crumbles of queso fresco. To be fair, there were options to order beans, and even though I'm watching my spending, I kind of wished I'd added a side of them. Chips and guac were what I ordered instead; nothing that lit me on fire but I was full for my money. If I were back in the vicinity, I'd order a bit differently, but I'd order again.

Holy hog. The vegetarian Maria special I had was ridiculous. I would eat it every day. For comparison, imagine a delicious Chipotle burrito, but then covered in queso and pico! I also added guac. It was SO GOOD. It was way more than I could eat and I didn't have a fridge available so I did have food waste. :'(. Maybe order with a buddy??? We ordered takeout during COVID times, and it was a smooth process. The menu was available and the timing was accurate.

Maria's is a cute eclectic little restaurant in downtown Shepherdstown West Virginia. It is bright and cheerful with about seven or eight tables and some of the freshest best Mexican food I have had in a long time. although they are known for their fish tacos I ordered the huevos rancheros and they were delicious. A combination of tortilla, over easy eggs, White cheese, cilantro, refried beans, black beans and pico all extremely fresh and delicious. I chose carnitas as my protein..fantastic! My wife had the chimichanga and it was Crispy fresh and wonderful even deep-fried and she also chose Carnitas as her protein and her meal was also wonderful. The only way this gets any better is if they had their liquor license and I could've had a margarita! Ole! If you are ever in Shepherdstown don't miss it!

Set on a Main Street, downtown location with brick sidewalks, this is a small spot in a row of a large amount of restaurants, shops, within walking distance to campus. Stopped here after a Shepherd game looking for food, and settled here walking in on a Wednesday night. All ordering is done at the counter, with food being brought out soon after. Clean place with a hipster vibe overall. Ordered chips and Queso, as well as a burrito with pork and without the beans. Chips were good but the Queso was a little underwhelming. It was good overall- just seemed like it was missing something. Burrito was tasty - a little on the small side - but it was properly filled with equal amounts of meat, rice, cream, etc. Drinks are by can or bottle, which I'm not a fan of- esp in a mexican restaurant where sodium is always high in the ingredients - which makes you even more thirsty, and to the average person who doesn't take that into consideration - you could easily buy 2-3 drinks here which helps the bottom line. Stay woke. Highly recommended.

One of the two meals we got. Tasted amazing and looked pretty on the plate!

This will be my second time eating at Maria's Taqueria with the best experience. The food is very reasonably priced, tastes great, and is plated nicely. The staff and overall environment is welcoming and friendly. While visiting this time, I had my dog who had just had surgery and was in a wagon. I was with my boyfriend, so we took turns ordering and sitting outside with my dog. They were kind enough to offer us to bring her in while ordering so she didn't have to sit outside. They brought our food out to us very quickly.

Love the food, the service, and the owner!! (She's my daughter!) I know how much Maria cares about the quality of the ingredients she uses, about the cleanliness of her kitchen and restaurant, and about the satisfaction of her customers. Maria's Taqueria started on a wing and a prayer immediately following Maria's graduation from Shepherd University, 15 years ago; the Grand Opening was on the Shepherdstown Streetfest, June 26, 2009. Opening day there was a line out the door-- and MT's has remained a popular place ever since. The restaurant has won many awards and high praises from several publications. It deserves every single one of them! It goes to show what a talented chef Maria is, and what high standards and a solid work ethic can do! And yes, I am one proud Mama!! Happy, Happy 15th Birthday, Maria's Taqueria! read more

I'd really like to say something positive but I honestly can't. I ordered 3 tacos...beef, chicken, and pork. They were all flavorless outcomes. I'm not talking light on flavor, I'm talking zero flavor. Not an iota of flavor and certainly not worthy of the "taqueria" name. A Mexican restaurant specializing in tacos is certainly not what this place is. This place will likely stay open due to one time tourists (like myself) trying to find good food while traveling along the beautiful West Virginia countryside. My recommendation is to keep driving... read more

This place was excellent. Could've been a great day, but as per usual, I ruin it. Luckily, the food was good. Cute place, exposed brick, walk up and order style, metal chairs and grouped seating. I like the chalkboards and the different types of combinations one can make when choosing what to eat. I appreciate the fact I could order a glass bottle of coke, big point here. The cheese dip was great! I really loved the nacho taste. Not something you would get at a little league baseball game snack shack. I ordered the chimichanga taco thing and it was great. I finished the whole thing without a breath. Mainly because I hadn't eaten all day. I enjoyed this place pretty well. Would go back again. read more

This is why I love Yelp! Never in a million years would we have found this place on our way from Harper's Ferry to Antietam without Yelp. So glad we stopped! It's in the middle of the quaint town (parking is metered on the street) and wasn't too busy on this Thursday afternoon at 1pm. You order up front off the board and the super friendly staff brings your food to you. Everything is super fresh. The pico is amazing! Hubby got a burrito that was so stuffed full he couldn't finish it (and that never happens!). My beef tacos were so tasty and stuffed full. I'm glad I had a fork! This is a great find in a really neat little town. We will definitely be back when in the area again! read more

A bright, colorful place for great tacos and super friendly service. Came in around noon on a Saturday. Although it was busy, we still managed to grab a table for two. The menu is written on a chalkboard, and you order at the counter. There's complimentary water at the counter, but they also have bottled beverages as well as alcoholic ones. When you place your order, they ask for your name since they call it out and bring it to your table later. Food-wise, my boyfriend ordered the Maria Jane which is essentially a massive burrito smothered in their queso sauce. Highly recommended if you're starving! For myself, I ordered the three traditional tacos with pork which was topped with lots of fresh onion, cilantro, pico de Gallo, queso, and lime. It was filling for me since they're pretty generous with the amount of taco filling, but if you're particularly starving you can order any of their sides. I can totally understand why this place is popular: friendly service, clean and decorative space, good prices, and great quality food! read more

This is a cute restaurant with reasonable prices. We didn't realize the default tacos are served American style with lettuce/cheese/sour cream-- "traditional" tacos are a bit further down the menu. So, can't complain that we got what we ordered, but they weren't our preference. The fish tacos were pretty good, though they had more sauce than I would have liked. Portions are generous: I could not finish my three tacos! read more

Nice place. It's college town prices but not too high and you get a lot of food. The staff was super friendly and the food came out fast. The clientele was varied so I didn't feel old, like I do a lot of times in Shepherdstown. The huevos rancheros were beautiful and pretty tasty. They were a little blander than I expected but overall a good meal in a nice quiet place. read more

I had barria tacos and they were good. The service was spotty. Other than feeling misled, our drinks came out at random times and our food was delivered oddly too. The restaurant was not super busy and the waitress didn't have too many tables, so it was just odd to me. I asked for take out utensils, as we were in a local hotel and had to remind the server twice for them. Will we be back? Probably not.

Crispy, flavorful, and consistently excellent. It's the kind of dish you never get tired of ordering. What really sets Parrando's apart is the service. Sitting at the bar is a must for us because the bartenders make the experience. Josue has always been fantastic, and now with Alex -- who came over from Los Carnales -- it's even better. Having two of the best bartenders in town behind the same bar was a great surprise and makes every visit feel even more welcoming.

The food itself is good; not extraordinary, but definitely good. The one staff member on duty taking care of the front of the house seemed a little overwhelmed having to take care of the three couples in the restaurant.

I would also recommend playing something different on the television in the restaurant, especially if children or those who aren't comfortable with swearing are present. It looked like music videos were playing and, with the captions, the lyrics were pretty sordid. I'm not easily offended, but I remember thinking that some parents and others might feel uncomfortable seeing those kinds lyrics being displayed while eating their food.

I was pleasantly surprised with this experience. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with the molé sauce and my friend ordered the shrimp tacos. The presentation of the enchiladas was impressive and the shrimp tacos looked tasty! I loved the sauce on my dish and the cheese/queso. I was full after 2 and a half of the enchiladas. It came with 4. My friend filled up on 2/3 of the tacos. Soni was our server and she did amazing! She was sure to keep our waters filled and was consistently checking in with us. The cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms were still impressive, despite a couple of crumbs on the table when we sat down. The chips and salsa were still my favorite part. I can be pretty picky when it comes to salsa but I love the texture and taste of this salsa. The chips always come out crispy and fresh! We were there at lunch time and the restaurant was not super busy. I'm glad I gave them another try! My husband and I love mexican food and were excited to try this location. I was very pleased with the environment when we walked in. The staff was welcoming and the restaurant was beautiful. I was excited to get seated in a booth immediately on a Friday at around 5. I will also say that the bathrooms were incredibly clean! My husband and I both ordered tacos, but we were disappointed to find out they were out of the Birria tacos. I was shocked because it seemed early enough on a Friday for them to not be running out of items. I ordered chicken tacos and was not impressed. They were very bland and didn't come with much to add to the chicken and tortilla although, the plate was presented beautifully. My husband ordered the fish tacos and while he did enjoy them, they were also quite underwhelming. The service was not exceptional. I had to ask for water multiple times and as I was once a waitress myself, I was always taught water should be served immediately. I also had to remind my waitress 2 times that we had ordered the queso. It didn't come out until we had already received our food. Despite this, the chips and salsa were actually quite tasty and kept us satisfied. The server did bring more chips when we were getting low and was attentive to my soda and my husbands beer. I did feel the waitress could've been more attentive, but she was very kind and cheerful. I feel it's also important to note that the restaurant did not seem to be busy. I was happy to find that for two orders of tacos, a beer, and a soda, the bill was roughly $50, plus a $10 tip. While my husband and I prefer other Mexican restaurants in the area, I am glad we got to experience El Habanero.

Angie, our server, was so friendly and excellent, giving suggestions and her opinions on food as we asked and keeping our table cleared of used dishes and our water glasses full. Even with a busy night, our food was served in good time at a good temperature. Everyone loved their meals - seafood chowder, special steaks for the nights special, breaded pork cutlet (yum! reminded me of Wiener Schnitzel), appetizers and desserts. The tiramisu was a nice size serving and the dark chocolate custard (like a thicker mousse - was oh so amazing). Everyone had a great time and meal. One person said it was the best steak she ever had (the nightly special) and my husband was talking about coming back as we were leaving. For parties more than four, I think it would be good to make reservations early and to update the restaurant as the party size changes. Initially, we had a party of 8 which became 6. The table fit 6 perfectly, but 8 would have more difficult blocking the walkway or may have needed a table farther back or in the other room. I think it would be good to call for reservations in general, since it was a Monday night Christmas week and walk-ins were not accepted due to the number of reservations.

Friendly atmosphere, fast service, delicious tacos. In this busy town, it is refreshing to go into Marias, place your individual order at the register, and have the server bring your food to the table quickly and with a smile. The food is prepared fresh and always tastes great. I have tried the fish tacos, for the first time at Maria's. I like them, but the beef tacos are my favorite. My wife always gets Maria's burrito.
