We were attracted by their daily special on the restaurant board. I got their daily special with grilled mahi mahi that top with grilled shrimp and octopus.

Service is a bit slow, the price is reasonable.

I hesitated to give this review but our experience left us with such a bad feeling and reading…read moreanother reviewer who had a similar complaint I thought I should. We've only been here twice - the first visit was more than good - it was a busy night but we got seated outside and our food came out quickly. We ordered all appetizers to test a variety of food, and none of them disappointed. The server guy was fast and friendly. The second visit we came on a not-so-busy night, I'd say the place was about half full on a rainy day. My husband couldn't decide what to order - the menu is large, so he asked the server what she recommended. Without missing a beat she said the skirt steak was her favorite. So he ordered that. I ordered the short ribs. Even though the place was not busy, it took forever to get our meals this time, and the server was nowhere to be found - she didn't stop to explain the wait. Finally our meal came. The skirt steak was served sliced, with a side container of brussels sprouts. Average-looking. And my husband thought it was average-tasting. The shock was when we got the bill. Apparently the skirt steak was a Wagyu steak and the most expensive item on the menu. When the server recommended it she did not say it was a Wagyu steak and she didn't give a heads-up on the price. When I mentioned our surprise the server just shrugged it off. As the days passed by I felt more and more burned by the experience. Before writing this I looked at their web site to find the item and it was listed at $60. We were charged over $100 for the Wagyu skirt steak - don't know what happened there. I'm an old lady and this kind of thing has never happened to me at any restaurant anywhere.

Food is decent and recently their yuka fritas have not been overfried. Avoid the nights with a DJ - way too loud and not great. Occasionally, on some nights they have talented musicians and singers and then it is awesome but it is an exception rather than the rule.

Thick, hearty, and packed with flavor, they're the kind of pupusas that make you pause after the first bite. Major shoutout for the ample amount of curtido, because they did not skimp like every other restaurant does. It's fresh, tangy, and perfect for the huge pupusas. Exactly how it should be. Period. I didn't get to dine in this time, so I can't speak to the service. There was a bit of wait to get them, but once I got my food, it was immediately clear why-everything tasted fresh and made to order. Totally worth the wait. On top of it all, the prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering the size and quality of the pupusas. You definitely get your money's worth. If you're in Bradenton and craving legit, filling pupusas, Maria's is a must-try!

The decoration were tasteful and the seating was good. Now on to the best part... the food. The queso was some of the best I've had, it was so flavorful, the consistency was thicker than the normal broken ones, which I LOVED. The elotes were very yummy, I just wish they had more seasoning on them. I got the veggie fajitas and they had such a great mix of different veggies cooked to perfection, I ate the whole thing! My mom got the street taco sampler and she loved it, she didn't have to choose which single one she wanted and got to try everything. We will definitely be going back!!
