I love this place! I have been going for years but in such a rush to eat the food I never get a picture. There's not a bad dish here at all and for those who want to explore it's a great place but all the flavors make the difference. What's missing in this photo is the Chicharones that they fry fresh! I ate them with the green sauce and it's aswesome. They are also a grocery store and bakery so go try them out. I never leave just eating I leave with a little of everything. Trust me you won't regret the experience. They're every helpful and nice. The market is small and gives off a family vibe. read more

This place has alot of little gems, and everyone was helpful and nice, Except, the cashier. She has a chip on her shoulder, if you don't speak Spanish. She made me uncomfortable, and even though I enjoy the product and restaurant, I will not return, because I guess not everyone is welcome. read more

The food is amazing! It's a grocery store, butcher shop and a restaurant all in one. We will definitely be back!!!

Excellent selection - actually had Queso de Freir. Great food as well, I was randomly referred back here as it was the best place for tacos. The place was very clean and smelled better than my local CVS. I've looked for a selection like this for over ten years across eight states and this respectable store actually has the best selection for Caribbean, Dominican, and Puerto Rican staples that I've found since NYC. That's including chains like Fiesta out west. Try it out. The new girl speaks great English. read more

K&S is a haul, especially on a week night, so I have been on the lookout for a local carniceria that has good quality carne, short ribs and random Mexican food items I might have an occasional craving for (ie chicharrons!!). This place looks a little skeezy on the outside, but it is in a decent neighborhood full of doctor's offices and the inside is clean. There is a large butcher's display case, especially for the size of the store. There is a small restaurant that serves the basics in the back that I will need to sample at a future date. There is a small collection of Mexican music CDs that I will look at but probably not buy since I have no clue of who is who. And they do take credit cards, to my surprise. read more

I went into this location today, excited to find a Mexican market with a taqueria..being a recent transfer from CA this is a big deal. Went to the meat counter and got some asada..no problem, super polite employees! Went back to the taqueria to order some refried beans ..I asked 3 times for medium sized beans, each time I got a laughing response oh salsa?! Finally got the container of beans which were super hot (as they should be) I asked for a bag so they wouldn't burn my hands and the server picked up the container and laughed at me, also talking some nonsense in Spanish about this idiot white girl. I am from So Cal, my husband is 1st generation of his family born here. My in laws own multiple Mexican restaurants. I understood everything you said, and I will never return to your store again. read more

This market also has a cafeteria and serves excellent tacos, burritos, tortas, and quesidillas. There are no better tacos anywhere around. It is a joy to eat here. Their salsa bar has two green sauces, red sauce, pickled carrots and onions, as well as fresh cilantro and chopped onion. I have tried every taco place in town and this is the very best. They really do a good job. Plus it's economical. I get happy just thinking about this wonderful place. The market has a great selection of produce, frozen foods, and a butcher shop too. read more

BE WARNED! They are still charging sales tax during the month long grocery tax free holiday of August 2022.

This review is based on many visits and I rarely give a five star rating. This is not a restaurant, per se, but a collection of markets under one roof. There is a common cash register for all purchases. The restaurant portion is in one back corner and consists of a few tables, but I always take out my order. Also in the market is a butcher shop (which does excellent pork rinds), a grocery store, and a bakery. Their dairy section contains a great selection of various Latin American creams. Now, on to the restaurant. Judging if this is the best Mexican restaurant in the area is difficult. It is difficult because it is not like other Mexican restaurants. Other restaurants in the area tend to have the same food. They have some base meats, stuff them in different dough's, combine them and call them different names. All the sauces appear to come out of a jar or bottle. NOT at Mercados Maria. This is authentic Mexican. While I am not Mexican, I can tell the difference. They butcher their own meats right there. Everything is prepared apparently from scratch and slow simmered. They offer excellent soups as well. The menu varies. The place is frequented by native Mexicans. Spanish is the language of choice. If you know a few words or phrases, it brings extra smiles. You may not buy beer from the case in the store and consume it with your meal. The decor is non existent. In fact, if you pick the wrong seat, you will face a display of cleaning supplies being sold. Great food. Take it home. Stop at the bakery and get some of their rolls and sweet bakery stuff for desert as well. read more

If you go to this place, you seriously better speak Spanish. They got my order wrong three times. I know I was very clear in what I ordered and the lady at the register even repeated back what I ordered. I also know enough Spanish that I could tell they have no system of quality control in taking and delivering orders. read more

Authentic Mexican food in Murfreesboro. Great variety of traditional tacos such pastor, lengua, asada, carnitas, chorizo, tripa. Tortas, tostadas, sopes, huaraches, tamales, barbacoa (beef and lamb), pancita, caldo de res y de pollo, pescado. Specials daily such chicharrón en salsa verde, or half roasted chicken. Tacos de canasta, and quesadillas de flor de calabaza or huitlacoche. Any kind of Mexican flavor water (horchata, jamaica, tamarindo, mango, etc.) and original bottle drinks (Jarrito, Boing, Yoli, Sangría, Mundet, etc.). Fresh tortillas and salsas made from scratch. Not the must fancy place in town, but the great Mexican flavor with a humble atmosphere...and great grocery as well by the way! read more

Butcher was super helpful and I got all kinds of marinated meat that grilled up wonderful. I can find most of my favorite Mexican foods. They carry fresh Epazote, so I can make big batches of real Mexican beans. As a recent transplant from Los Angeles I am grateful to have this market in my neighborhood. read more
