Maria's Mexican Restaurant is a decent enough choice for Mexican food if you are in the Meridian, Mississippi area. The service here is friendly enough and the ambiance and vibe is pleasant enough. I went with a burrito and it was an overall decent enough culinary experience. Again, if you are in the Meridian, Mississippi area and craving Mexican food, Maria's Mexican Restaurant is a good overall choice. read more

Overall 3.5 Stars Food: 3 stars Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 3.5 stars Located near Walmart and Office Depot, the restaurant is quite large inside. You feel you are transported into a Hacienda. Most servers have limited English so be patient when communicating with them. They are quick and efficient when it isn't too busy. The food is alright. The rice and beans are typical style of what you might get at the majority of Mexican establishments. We got two different fajitas (Shrimp and combo - steak, chorizo and chicken) both were decent. Both lack the seasoning you would except from the Hispanic culture. The Grande Margarita was "ok". Just your "run-of-the-mill" Margarita mixed that You buy at the store. The Tequila is smooth and can get you in trouble if you drink it too fast. read more

The Best cooks in meridian!! Very friendly staff, the margaritas are also the Best in the area

Love the food, and cheese dip. It's very big and nice inside. I would recommend for great Mexican food with lots of choices.

Great food. Passing through Meridian. We will be back! My wife and I split the molcejete.

Gave us leftovers on steak fajitas and expected a TIP!! On my ticket total was $50.25 so I gave my daughter a hundred to go pay and brings back $42.00 dollars.. because the lady went and told him to add 8 dollars more what a rip off.. read more

Rigo’s Mexican Restaurant - cars parked in front of a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

So far this has been the best Mexican food in Meridian. But that's not saying much considering the others have been very poor. The salsa was ok but could be a little bit peppy. Service was great read more

Rigo’s Mexican Restaurant - Inside the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Dare I say, this may be the best Mexican restaurant in Meridian? Having grown up here, there are quite a few Mexican restaurants that are surprisingly good for small town Mississippi. This one is the newest, and with the likes of La Piñata, El Norte, and San Marcos dominating the Mexican food scene, Maria's had to impress. And it did. Not only was the interior decoration the best in the city, but the service was excellent and the food was fantastic. I got the steak fajita, and, unlike the other fajitas in town, the portions weren't immense, and the flavor was close to perfect. I wish the salsa with the nachos was a bit heartier, for I thought it was fairly watered down, but the chips and main entree more than made up for it. Overall, Maria blew expectations away, and I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good Mexican fix in the city. read more

Stopped in here for a late lunch. Food was delicious and brought out hot and quickly. Atmosphere is cute. Place is really clean, too.

All right... let's see. It was later. (1:30 ish) Certainly after the 'lunch rush ' but the place was nearly empty. The back half was unlit. We were seated immediately. I ordered a water and mom ordered a coffee. The waitress brought her a cola. A male server dismissed the female waitress and brought the coffee. Our meals came out in good time and the flavors were pretty tasty. My chicken was sooo dry it was unforgivable . And there was zero spice. (Heat) not to say it was bland. It just wasn't spicy. The garlic flavored white bread was odd. Like: who wants white bread with their Mexican dinner? That's just stupid. Overall the meal was tasty. The service was good, and the price was appropriate. read more

Hey, I was unsure of what I was getting into with Maria's given that I live in San Antonio where there is an abundance of great Mexican food. But, I was pleasantly surprised. The rice and beans were top notch and beef fajitas were superb. The margarita was tart and not overly sweetened and you could taste the tequila. The server was very attentive and after a long drive, this place was just what I needed! read more

Best fajita enchiladas I've had in a long time! Excellent quality food. Margaritas were really good. I couldn't stand the second one for half because it was 26 oz(medium). I just went by the 4.5 star rating. It was the right call for here in Meridian MS. read more

We went on the rating and proximity to our hotel. The food - sizzling very well seasoned fajitas, nice salsa and warm chips were all above the norm. The margarita was excellent and inexpensive. But the service keeps the whole experience down a notch. read more

I was just passing through on my way to Dallas from Louisville and I stopped for dinner before passing out at a local hotel... I was born in California and I have lived in the Dallas area for 13 years. I'm 51 years old, so I have been around the block when it comes to Mexican food. I wouldn't be writing this if I wasn't impacted by this place. First, the people were friendly and sat me down right away. I enjoyed their very well balanced salsa (and chips) that they provide in a carafe along with a dipping bowl so you can add more salsa later, a touch that I liked a lot. I chose the "marias rellenos " a chile relleno dish that was topped with my choice of meat. I like a lot of cheese in my chili relleno's and these were "stuffed". The rancho suace was also delicious! And they were surrounded by shredded beef that was very tender and delicious. Their beans and rice are also to be noted as very well prepared. Take it from a guy who has had California and Texas Mexican food all of their life, I was very impressed with this Mississippi restaurant! I hope they stick around! read more

Good food, great service and has a great happy hour. We asked for a hot salsa and man did we get what we asked for, if you don't want "hot" don't ask for it. For it to be in MS it is good food! read more

Better keep your credit card receipt and compare it to your statement!! After leaving a cash tip on the table for my waiter, I went to the front desk paid with my credit card drew a line to the total and put the total on the total line. This establishment added $5 to my card which I did not authorize After I left. This is fraudulent!!!!!! Won't be back to support these thieves!!!! read more

This is my second visit- stopped here 2 weeks ago when in town and pleasantly surprised . Ordered tacos de azafa w steak, chorizo and carnitas. Generous portions ; green sauce is awesome ant the margaritas are refreshing. It's now on my list of favs for Meridian. read more

Great customer service! Food wasn't bad but the guy waiting on me was super helpful. That man was checking folks out, refilling drinks, taking orders, delivering the food, AND bartending all by himself. All with a smile. Yall better not lose him. read more

We decided it would be fun to write this review in a play-by-play format. We are from Dallas, Texas and really think twice about getting Mexican food out of state. A couple Yelp reviewers who claimed they had knowledge of what real Texas Mexican food was like said they liked this place a lot and that is what brought us here. We were greeted in a very friendly manner and promptly seated. When our hostess approached the first table she noticed it was dirty and moved us to a clean booth. She started us out with chips and salsa and we are already impressed! The salsa comes in a small carafe with bowls on top so you can refill your own bowl of salsa. The salsa itself is AMAZING! Tasted so fresh like they have a garden out back and just hand picked the tomatoes. A table next to us was celebrating a birthday. The staff sang Happy Birthday and we sang along. After the song the staff used a noise maker that scared us half to death, but we instantly burst into laughter! Haha so this would be a fun place to celebrate with family and friends. I ordered chicken fajitas for dinner and I was very pleased for the most part. I wish you were given three small "taco" sized tortillas instead of two large "burrito" sized tortillas if I'm being critical. My mama order the pick 2 combo platter and got a cheese enchilada and a beef taco. The enchiladas come in white corn tortillas which my mama doesn't personally like so she was not as impressed with her meal, but there was nothing wrong with it. It just wasn't to her usual Texas standards. I also ordered a medium margarita on-the-rocks with salt due to another review saying it was the perfect tangy-sour-salty-tequila ratio and MAN were they RIGHT! If I wasn't driving far I would've definitely had a second (and maybe even a third ). Overall, these Texas gals were pleased and impressed that salsa like that could be located outside the great state. Also, I loved that each table had a napkin dispenser because Mexican food always gets very messy for me and I hate asking over and over for more napkins and I didn't have to do that. read more

Best Mexican food in Meridian! I got the chicken fajitas and it was fantastic!

First of all, I just want to say the service was great. Second, I'm from Houston and I've live in San Antonio so I tried not to have too high of expectations. The food server talked about how good the queso was so we ordered the large ($12.99). It was thin and watery and not very good. We ordered tacos, enchiladas, tostadas and guacamole. Everything was so bland; even the chips and salsa needed salt. My son ordered churros for dessert and they seemed overly greasy like the grease wasn't hot enough :( read more

Chips were tasteless; like eating paper. Salsa was like tomato sauce. Fries were tasteless. Enchiladas Maria was bland. My teenage some said "that place was booty cheeks" -- a term he uses for things that aren't good at all. read more

Food just was not good. About 15 people joined us while out of town and not one thought it met expectations. Being from Texas maybe I have high expectations of Mexican food but this place doesn't come close to even the worst place I've ate at back home. The wait staff did what they could to accommodate us ( took back cold food, brought back warm) but the kitchen staff fell flat. Look elsewhere. read more

Being here several times and so far my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. The service is good and adequate. The food is very good, the chips feel fresh and the the tacos are very good. The Molcajetes continue to be the best dish for me. read more

Great food! Great service! We've been to Maria's a few times now; everything I've had has been fabulous! We went tonight (Tuesday); we were greeted with a free margarita and they had a musician there. The musician was great and entertaining and engaging without interfering with us being able to enjoy each other's company either. This is now the only Mexican restaurant we eat at in meridian. You can get a typical combination if you want one, but they also have some great, more authentic Mexican dishes. We love Maria's!! read more

Very nice service. They do a great job at seating you quickly and serving in a timely manner. Food is 2 star but the service was a 5. It is a newer business to Meridian so after time, they will improve read more

Food was alright. Extremely overpriced and the waiters were extremely short and snappy when I ordered. Nothing against the restaurant or the owners. read more

Maria's is a great place. The service was wonderful. The lunch specials were quite good. The Enchiladas were excellent as were the fajitas. The quesadillas were also excellent. The kids menu has a good selection. Our 2.5 year old opted for the hotdog, I cannot attest to the flavor of the hotdog but she seemed to enjoy it. read more

Food was awesome. I found that they offered unique and different items than what you see in other area Mexican restaurants. I had the chimichangas (1 beef 1 chicken) and it was seriously delicious. My daughter had the kid's beef burrito and she loved it. My husband gad the steak tacos and was very satisfied. We also thoroughly enjoyed a side of Mexican street corn. Our server wasn't the best, but she was young and the restaurant hasn't been open that long. We will definitely back though. With several other Mexican restaurants in the area, i much preferred Maria's! read more

The service was absolutely amazing, and the servers were extremely friendly and personable. But as great as the service was, the food was even better. Take your time to look at the menu, because there is a huge amount of choice here! My nephew had the shrimp chimichangas, and they were massive--and delicious. I had the seafood molcajete, which, at $20, is admittedly expensive. For the money, however, you get an ENORMOUS amount of food, and I have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow! I wholeheartedly recommend Maria's, and I hope they stick around for a long time. read more

Amazing carnitas tacos. I was in town for two days and went back both nights because it was that good.

Stopped in on the way home (New Orleans) from Asheville. Didn't know what expect, but it was a fantastic experience. The service was outstanding, very attentive! The food arrived quickly and all at the table were very pleased with the authentic taste! Definitely stop in again! read more

Just ate at Maria's for the first time and have to say that our family was very impressed. Service was great and food was delicious! Will be back. read more

A tostada and enchilada plate was ordered. When the plate arrived, the tostada was limp (Could not pick it up.). The chicken on the tostada had to much onion. The enchilada was fair in taste. A pork plate was also ordered. The pork was a little chewy. The salsa was fair. No description was given on what was on the tostada or if any of the chicken dishes had a sauce. The only bean options were refried or black - charro option would be nice. The server spoke little English, so we could not ask many questions. read more

We will not be back to eat except for dessert, but probably not. The flan and sopapilla was the best part of this meal. The salsa was very bland. We got the steak and peppers with rice and beans, steak tacos with black beans and a big burrito. We all got margaritas and oh my goodness, not good flavor and so weak in alcohol. I don't think I have ever seen a steak as thin as this one I got. It had ok flavor. The burrito was not even warm inside. My husband enjoyed his steak tacos. Way too much on the menu! Takes you too long to read. Bye bye Maria's from us. We won't be back. San Marcos and El Norte have y'all beat 100%!! read more
