This place is awesome, very flavorful and satisfying you gotta try for yourself! I actually left another place and came here because I'm picky just being honest.. watched two other table orders being took before mine, and we were there first... Got here and they hooked us up right away... it was our first time here, and we're glad we found it we'll be back for more of that menu. Thanks for a good experience

I really enjoyed this small little Authentic Mexican food experience. The food, Chips & Salsa were tasty AND the price was decent! A hidden gem for sure! Service was a little slow but they were pretty busy! Definitely recommend a meal here!

I used to come to this place very often before COVID hit. I went back once right after the soft opening of business following COVID and it wasn't the same because they had no food servers. You just looked at a screen, ordered what you wanted, and you could sit there and eat it or take it home. I didn't much care for that system so I stayed away for a while. Now they're back to the old system and the food is just as good as I remember it. There was only one server working when I came in, but she handled it very well. So if you've never visited Maria's Cafe before, do yourself a favor and go see them. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

1st time there. From the moment we walked in it smelled so good!! Vegetaria. Burrito was HUGE! and delish. Tasting the salsa and chips we know we hit a great hidden spot. The Caldo de res was so tasty like mom's, the al pastor burrito had good flavor and machaca with eggs were so very tasty. The service great. As in all great tasting food made to order, it takes time. Expect to wait a bit. Its worth it. The flavors of good old mexico will explode in your mouth. If you are in a hurry and want fast, mediocre food there are plenty of fast food places you can go. This will be our go to stop from now on. Nettie Moran

Best authentic Mexican food around. The chili rellanos are exceptional! The refried beans are delicious. Servers are kind and efficient. Beatrice is accommodating to my husband and diabetic and gives him salad instead of rice and beans! Wonderful place!!
