Great service by Luz and gabby always very friendly it's always a delight to see them. Great food and drinks recommend my favorite calamari and shrimps and the fajitas.

Decent Mexican spot. Came here with a friend on a Friday night and got seated right away. We ordered the Guacamole and Chips, which was made to order. It was actually really good, definitely the best part of the meal. I ordered a Chicken Burrito, which was fine. It was very big and filling though. Glad we got to checkout this place.

I love this places red sangria and fish tacos. Both go down way too easy, give them a try.

Had the Brazino freakin Amazing Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere and the drinks are spiked full of alcohol

We were seated outside originally but it was chilly at the time. The waitress was kind enough to move us once more favorable seating was inside. The atmosphere inside is awesome. Definitely love the decor. It's a bit narrow going in and had seating along the walls but we preferred the back since the space is a lil tight with people also walking by. The food and drinks were great! Definitely enjoyed my drink!

This restaurant has really cute decor and a cozy interior. We ordered the guac and chips to start and it came in a huge Mexican mortar and pestle. Guac was excellent but definitely could be more spicy since we asked for it to be spicy. We were also given a side of salsa but didn't really eat much of it since it tasted oddly sweet. For entrees, my boyfriend ordered the molcajete norteño and he said it was flavorful. Steak was tender and shrimps weren't over cooked. I got the chuleta mexicano and thought everything was good, except that the pork chop was over cooked. Rice and beans were solid. I recommend you all check out Marias as the food is good, but service is even better. Great for a weeknight dinner because service is so quick. Note that they will charge if you use a card - it was about 4% of my bill.

Recently had dinner here and was a great experience! My sangria was delicious and I got a shrimp enchilada dish that was excellent --the shrimp were a great size and the sauce was a highlight. My BF was also very happy with his meal..we had a tres leches piece of cake for dessert--soo good! Our waitress was friendly..the atmosphere is cozy and bright and fun. Was our first time there and we'd go back :)

This is a really excellent Mexican food delivery option in the South Slope area. I almost always go with a burrito. Usually the veggie special, which comes loaded with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and perfectly cooked brown rice. But I've also tried a few of their meat options and those have been delicious as well! The burritos are huge (definitely enough for two meals) and come with a little side salad and some guacamole. I've also ordered their rotisserie chicken (it's very good and generously priced), pick de gallo, and chips and guac, which is excellent (and they pay attention when you ask for spicy!) although a little pricey for the quantity you get. That's just what you deal with when you're lazy and order delivery, though! The best part of every order is their homemade spicy sauces. These things are DELICIOUS! I prefer the orange/red ever so slightly to the green but would buy copious amounts of either if they sold them separately. (hint: Maria's sell them separately!!!) While this is generally a delivery spot for me, I ate in once with my family years ago (maybe 6 or 7?) when my Grandma was visiting from Florida and we sat in the backyard which was really pleasant! I remember service being a little slow but the food was just as great, if not better than when it's delivered, and the margaritas were A+! Plus the place is adorable inside! I'll have to come back and eat in soon. And now I have to order a burrito...
