I loved being able to try two totally different flavors in one meal, and both were amazing. Even together, they somehow still tasted really good. We also got the churros, and they were perfectly crispy and served with whipped cream and fresh blueberries. Such a good way to end the meal. Honestly, everything was a 10/10. The service was great too. Everyone was really friendly and attentive, and they kept checking on us to make sure we were good and had everything we needed. I also found out they have brunch on Sundays, and now I definitely need to come back and try that! If their brunch is anything like this meal, I already know it's going to be good.

Marias is in a strip mall with plenty of parking, but lots of traffic and commerce here so it took me a bit to find a spot. Inside is small, but comfortable and tidy. Was planning on takeout, but audibled into eating there. Ordered the following: - Chorizo burrito - 7.5/10: Hefty and very tasty. You will not be hungry after this meal. Asked for their medium salsa and it delivered. Not too spicy, not too mild. Had large chunks of potatoes in it. Could've sliced them to smaller pieces, but it was fine. - Horchata - 5/10: Not the homemade stuff, but the kind that came from a commercial dispenser. Expectedly meh. Staff was friendly and polite. Charming place to grab a bit to eat. Would recommend.

We recently tried this Mexican restaurant and unfortunately the food and drinks were very…read moredisappointing. The margaritas were honestly some of the worst we've had -- they tasted like straight margarita mix blended with ice, and we could barely drink them. The enchiladas were also very underwhelming, especially for the price. It was basically shredded chicken in tortillas with sauce, rice, and beans, and for $20 it just wasn't worth it. The food tasted very Americanized and lacked authentic Mexican flavor and seasoning. That being said, the customer service was amazing. The two ladies who helped us were incredibly attentive, kind, and kept checking on us. They offered extra drinks and multiple items, which we normally appreciate because when we go to Mexican restaurants we usually order multiple rounds and end with Cadillac margaritas. Unfortunately, the drinks were so bad we didn't want to order anything else, but their effort and service did not go unnoticed. One small disappointment was when I asked for hot sauce to add more flavor to my green sauce enchiladas, and I was brought the same red enchilada sauce instead, which made the meal worse. I am a food and beverage manager myself, and I can honestly say I would hire those two servers in a heartbeat because they were fabulous. The service was excellent -- it's just the food and drinks that really need improvement.

Unfortunately, the service really overshadowed the food for us. From the moment we walked in, we…read morefelt more like we were inconveniencing the staff than being welcomed as customers. Throughout our visit, we had to ask multiple times for basic things, and the overall service just felt inattentive and unfriendly by some. The food itself was decent, which is why the experience was especially disappointing. We're Mexican ourselves and always enjoy supporting Mexican restaurants and trying places that serve food we grew up with, but good food alone isn't enough to bring us back. Considering there is almost always a long line and a significant wait to get a table, we expected the overall experience to be worth it. Unfortunately, for us, it wasn't. On top of that they added a 18% gratuity to the check! There are too many great Mexican restaurants with both good food and warm, welcoming service to justify the wait. We would not return by choice!

This is a chain and everyone is different. I've tried a couple of them a d they were ok, When i…read morewent to this one, i didnt expect any diffetence. I was wrong, the staff was friendly and service was quivk. It gave a welcoming feeling upon entering as well as being clean. I ordered the shrimp burrito and waited for my order. The burrito was hugh! Stuffed with freshly cooked rice, beans, shrimp and salsa. The rice was soft, fluffy, and tasty, the beans were tender and flavorful, the shrimp were grilled to perfection and seasoned well. The first bite was the test and it passed with glying colors. This was the best Shrimp Burrito and I have gone back a couple of times just for the burrito! It is worth the price and No,I didn't eat it all at once, I ate half and shared the other half with my husband. So worth the visit,a must when in Monrovia!

THE HORROR!!!! (exaggerated sarcasm)…read more I am no longer a fan of Taco Ensenada! Around 3 weeks ago I went in to order some tacos and a burrito. I was looking and looking for my favorite buche, tripa and cabeza meats on the menu; but, these meats were no where to be found. So I asked the cashier where are these meats, which she replied, "we no longer offer those meats". I was shocked and adruptly turned around a left. Of coarse, this was not the only reason for my final decision to end my relationship with Taco Ensenada. They've been raising their menu prices a little too much in recent years. To a lesser extent, what Mexican resturant offers sushi rolls?! Stay in your lane! Customers don't patronize a Mexican restaurant to get Japanese food. Taco Ensenada has lost their way since my discovery of them over 10 years ago. That is why I will seek alternatives--there are plenty out there. Although, I am not knocking their food quality and offerings, which is still fine.

Title: Misleading survey reward - fine print appeared only after completion…read more Review: I completed an online survey specifically because the restaurant offered a free mini dessert in exchange. After finishing the survey, I received a confirmation email for the dessert. When I showed the digital confirmation to our waitress, she had to get an approval from Alex the manager. Alex asked to see my phone to "prove" the receipt, then told the waitress the offer was actually meant for graduates only. Nowhere on the survey, the confirmation email, or any promotional material I saw was this graduate restriction mentioned. If I had known, I wouldn't have spent time filling out the survey. To make matters worse, I frequent this restaurant and have noticed that It Alex never visits any of the tables to check on customers. But he has no problem sitting with his family as though he owns the place. Offering a reward for completing a survey, then adding restrictions only after a customer tries to redeem it, feels misleading. A simple heads-up in the survey would have saved everyone time and frustration. I frequent this restaurant weekly and spend well over $100.00 on breakfast for both me and my wife we enjoy the food and the service we receive from the team but since Alex never visits any tables or customers while I'm there for Alex to question his own company's promotion I feel Alex should do his due diligence and know what his company his promoting. Thank you to the staff is why we frequent this establishment. Alex please do better. Thank you. David
