Came to La Paz for the first time and The chilaquiles was so good . The service was also very friendly and attentive

We recently visited Maria California for breakfast and my girl makes better chilaquiles than the ones i had there. The juices were good as was the ambiance of the place. Over priced for what we had in my opinion. But stop by and have a look the place has a cool atmosphere. read more

Nice ambience overlooking the marina. Slow service, tortilla chips are very hard if you like hard tortilla chips. The chilaquiles red sauce is good but with the same hard chips they bring you to the table. My husband said his chorizo was good, but do not order hasbrowns, hash browns are the frozen not homemade read more

Love this place! There is a slight wait but well worth it. It is a big home converted into a charming restaurant with a lot of fun murals and inspirational quotes on the wall. The food is so satisfying! We had the following: Enchiladas- Shrimp stew (Santa Veronica) and shredded meat (Santa Lupita). The sauces have the perfect tangy flavor and spices. Both the red and green sauces were amazing so ask for half and half. We also had the hot cakes, super fluffy for being so thick and the corn muffin was the BEAT corn muffin ever. It was moist and have lots of corn in it vs just flour. The sauce complements it well. The live music was a nice addition. We can't wait to come back! read more

This restaurant has the best breakfasts in La Paz. The first time I came here, I made a mistake ordering some pancakes. The pancakes were outstanding, so that wasn't the mistake. The mistake I made was ordering a full stack of pancakes with Nutella. While delicious, it was too much food, and way too rich. On my latest visit this past Friday, I had the chilaquiles de guajillo roja con carne asada y huevos (tortilla chips in a moderately spicy salsa with onion, queso fresco, roasted beef, and two eggs over easy). It was outstanding! I had the large portion, and was quite stuffed! The offer both large and small portions, and the small is only called that because it isn't as huge as the large. The menu is huge, with an entire page for juices and smoothies, and another for shakes. A large smoothie and a small main will leave most people quite satisfied. The service is always outstanding, and most of the staff are bilingual. They know the menu well, and can explain any dish you have questions about. They are attentive, without being pushy. They take cards, and will bring the terminal to your table. Every table has a QR code sticker for the menu. They have various seating areas, and the place is clean and attractive. My partner and I love to sit in the front veranda, but they have interior seating if it's windy or wet. read more

If a plate of chilaquiles and a ray of sunshine had a baby, it would be María California. This place serves breakfast like your abuela would--if your abuela had a culinary degree, access to ocean-fresh ingredients, and an Instagram-worthy patio. If you're in La Paz and don't eat here, you may want to re-evaluate your life choices. And if you're lucky enough to get Angela, tip her like she just saved your vacation. Because honestly--she kind of did. read more

Yes please. I'll start this review by saying I was sweaty and tired and probably not in the best mind to look at a beautiful menu that had soooo many choices, sooo many delicious choices. I did have the sense that I really could not go wrong, and as we tried our food, my sense was proven correct. We already had eaten breakfast, but you can eat breakfast at amy time of day right? This is one of my favorites here in La Paz read more

Maria California is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the vibrant atmosphere and warm hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented -- a perfect blend of traditional Mexican flavors with a unique twist. The chilaquiles and fresh juices are especially worth mentioning, and the coffee is some of the best in town. The staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed lunch, Maria California is a spot you'll want to return to. I have Celiacs Disease. At Maria California the staff and the owner are VERY cautious and aware of my allergy and ensure that my food is safe every time. Highly Recommended! read more

This restaurant was very decent. Since we came on their 12th anniversary, we were served slices of cake and they were very well made! We got seated just 10 minutes after we got there and it only took 20 minutes for food to arrive. Amazing service! Although their portion sizes were enormous, especially their pancakes, they had some really good, Mexican style brunch. They served us some chips and a salsa made from beans that were really good! They also had very fresh, tropical drinks like their guava, orange, strawberry drink. This restaurant was also well maintained and it looked like a cool beach hut. There was music and had a fun vibe. This restaurant is great for brunch and as a last minute one too. I highly recommend this place. read more

Amazingly delicious breakfast and cute ambiance. I love the selection of chilaquiles and varying spice levels. So many options! Cafe de olla is fantastic. Salsas are great. Service is friendly. Buuut, super slow service on weekend mornings. Like, it's bad. So try to go off-peak hours. read more

Terrible wait time and service. If you're a party of 2 and coming on a slow day, wow beware. 1 hour after we ordered our food, it appeared. We drank our refreshments at least 30 minutes before the food arrived. Not one time in the hour wait for our food did the waiter even let us know. Don't waste your time here. read more

SO NICE, CAME HERE THRICE! Our favorite breakfast restaurant by far in La Paz, BCS, Mexico. The food is great, the staff is wonderful, and the ambiance absolutely relaxing and fun. I highly recommend trying out this restaurant if you visit La Paz. FYI they only accept cash on Sundays! :) read more

Maria Mariaaaa!!! Lol sorry I had make that reference. Maria California is a great breakfast spot in a neighborhood right off the malecon in the commercial zone. It sets right on the corner making outdoor seating a great option. The staff is very friendly. The food was being excellent. Any place that allowed you to have chilaquiles as a side dish is great in my book! Grab your dog and go grab a great breakfast read more

Be ready to wait 1 hour plus for your food and when you get it's cold and 20 minutes for your coffee creamer to drink with your cold coffee. This place is not worth the price, food is not good at all, the bluffy pancakes are just a hipe, they're a very dry and tick not moist at all. We spend $30 on our small cold breakfast that took 1 hour plus to get. We usually don't complain about waiting for our food for how long it took if the food was good. But we had bad service and bad over price cold food. Do not recommend this place, no wonder locals don't come here. It's a tourist trap. read more

This place was super bomb ! I had the San Luis dish for breakfast I usually don't eat my whole meal but I did this time. My daughter had the burrito and my little one had the waffles. My wife and I shared the San Luis and we did not stay hungry. If you come to La Paz make sure you have breakfast here , get the Mexican coffee ! read more

Could not ask for more. delicious food, very gracious staff given my poor Spanish and Huge portions!

Amazing breakfast and service was fabulous. Went back to have a second breakfast but their computers were down so cash only. Freshly squeezed OJ was so good and they didn't skimp. For two of us we spent $25, in the US this would've been $50. The OJ alone would've been $10 in the US. A charmingly great deal. Run don't walk! read more

Made this my first stop upon arriving to La Paz. Pancakes were amazing and in my opinion made for sharing. Wait time wasn't bad at all (Friday morning). The atmosphere was very chill. Soon after we arrived a woman performed some soft classics that added to the vibe nicely. The smoothies and juices are amazing. read more

Restaurant María California - Strawberry syrup on pancakes - Mexican Near Me - La Paz, BCS

Wow, wow, and wow!!! They have the best food and smoothies in La Paz I swear. Their menu is like 10 pages of pure joy and deliciousness. They have 3 pages of juices, fruit smoothies, and shakes. They have amazing enchiladas and their pancakes are sooo fluffy and good. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because the service is very very slow. We ordered drinks and didn't get them until probably 30 minutes later. If you're not in a big rush to get any where and are okay with spending 2 hours on brunch/breakfast than it's not a big deal but just be prepared for slower service. The staff is very kind and they were definitely very busy when we went around 11am on a Saturday. If the service was a bit faster it would definitely make the overall experience better. I think if we had gotten our drinks sooner (a latte and a smoothie) we wouldn't have been as bummed that our food took so long (40-45 minutes). Overall, cute place with amazing food but if you come for brunch on a weekend the service may be extremely slow. read more

Hands-down, the most delicious breakfast you can have anywhere in La Paz. Very extensive meal and the ambience is well thought out. Separate rooms with lots of color and decoration. I will warn you that there's usually a line to get in early in the mornings and the service is incredibly, and I mean incredibly slow. I guess it's just something to be expected of such a popular place so as long as you know that, and you can be patient, you will not regret coming here. I do recommend that you order your drinks at the very least as you're being seated. It will be 15 to 25 minutes before somebody comes and takes your order , and when they do bring your food ask for the bill at that time because bringing the bill takes 30 to 40 minutes as well. This has been my experience every single time. As long as you know and do that, it won't be so painful because the food is completely worth it. It's still my favorite breakfast place. I would take a star away from that but it doesn't justify how great the food is. read more

Super friendly employees. Accommodating to people with dogs. Four hungry people that were super satisfied by their meals and the server. Thank you for another wonderful meal in La Paz! I will return on my next visit! read more

Great food, lots of fresh juices, teas, and agua frescas, and a large menu with a lot of options. I had the hibiscus rosemary agua fresca and it was excellent--refreshing, delicious, with a hint of herbal bitterness. For food, I had a side of chicharrones en salsa verde and chorizo and potato enchiladas. The enchiladas were very good, but the chicharrones were the star! Tangy, the right amount of fat, and enough brightness to cut through that fat. My friend had cheese enchiladas and guacamole and said both were great. The desserts looked excellent, but we were beyond full from the enchiladas. I highly recommend this place! read more

Food was good- lots of choice & open to substitutions. Portions were good (kids shared waffles). However, service was awful... we arrived right at opening, waited for over 30min for our food- and over 30 more to pay! There are plenty of great places in La Paz & I wont go back to this one! read more

Fantastic fresh juices and a chilaquiles menu that will make you drool. I'm determined to work my way through the chilaquiles - you first select a salsa, a style, and what protein. This is one of my favorite places for breakfast in La Paz. My favorite salsa/sauce is the poblano cream salsa, and I only order them with eggs, but they do have chicken, carne asada and several more options. !Perfecto! read more

In a laid back and hospitable beach town with many great food options, this establishment puts the "California" in Baja California. That's to say their uppity, self-important attitude when we walked in was too reminiscent of the SoCal-style hubris we were trying to escape if only for a week, and so we left for La Parrilla Norteña for some delicious Chilaquiles. read more

Well a 2 hr wait for food after you're seated is never fun. The food is basic. Nothing special and the service is horrendous. I don't recommend coming here unless you know you'll be hungry hours from when you want to eat. There's too many other places around. Don't waste your time. read more

Awesome breakfasts. Authentic tastes of Mexico. And a huge menu of drinks and food. Service is slow but friendly. The servings are generous and not expensive.

Well it's a great spot. A few down points: our server hated his job and he was slow and forgetful. Missed the tortillas and side of bacon, getting coffee refills took an act of god, this just wasn't his passion. There is live music, a soloist on a karaoke machine on weekends. She is decent. Food was good but the chile spice level was totally 100% gringo. Had to add from the salsa cups and it was sufficient and very tasty. If I wasn't leaving today we would definitely come back. read more
