We visited on a weekend and I have no complaints. It's located off the highway, but thankfully parking wasn't an issue. The music was a nice vibe while we waited to order, not too loud just right. The dining area was very clean and well maintained, which I appreciated. I ordered my favorite chicken fajitas and a Strawberry Piña Colada Margarita. The chicken with the grilled onions and bell peppers were perfection. I genuinely enjoyed everything. Our server was awesome , she was very sweet and checked on us often to make sure we were good. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but my experience was honestly beyond disappointing. The food itself tasted decent. However, within minutes of eating here, both of us became extremely sick and not even being able to make it to the CAR before throwing everything up. It turned into a full night of severe food poisoning, which is absolutely unacceptable for any restaurant. It's one thing for food to be average, but it's another for it to make customers physically ill. Food safety should be the bare minimum, and yet the kitchen couldn't even achieve that. I will absolutely not be returning, and I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending this place to any friends or family. read more

This place is cute! The patio dining area is nice too. Our server was really great and the place was clean. We were a table of 6 and the food came out pretty quick. They have a lot of healthy options too. I was able to get this bowl and added grilled chicken. There were black beans underneath and it was cooked perfectly. I would come back here again. read more

I created a yelp account just to say this because I am not a person who writes reviews but the service and food was pitiful. Server checked on us maybe 2 times. The only reason it gets 1 stars is because my husband's food was decent. Mine on the other hand was awful. Bland, onions were not fully cooked and half were burnt. The fried ice cream was extremely stale. To the point to we both hated it. They put a little ball of crispy stuff in the middle to make it look bigger than it actually was. It seems like it was made, cooked and then frozen for service. Absolutely terrible. read more

This place is Tex Mex and it's the best in Gonzales for sure!! My the cheese n onion enchiladas topped with chili con Carne, camera refried beans and Mexican rice it was delicious and yes the cheese is the cheddar yellow cheddar Yum Yum Yum! My granddaughter had the Baja shrimp taco plate with beans and rice, she loved them. The bean dip is delicious and the guacamole dip is amazing, it a super food and super delicious. We were seated as soon as we walked in and that's always a plus. The server was knowledgeable and attentive, so great hostess, great server and great food. read more

Ordered nachos like I have 15 times before from this place they brought it out and it looked like a pizza whole tortillas underneath confused I decided to give it a try after 10 mins of trying my very best to figure out how to eat it. I told the waiter and asked if I could have the other kind he replied he would have to pay it out his own wages. I got my bill and went down the street to finish my evening drinks. I have spent money in this place more than one occasion, any establishment that takes money out of the waiters/bartenders check for food should not operate. Customer experience should be everything $20 meal in the trash do better! read more

Being from Texas, I've grown up with some pretty high standards when it comes to tacos. I decided to give the shrimp tacos at Casa Maria a try, and unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. The shrimp was overcooked, and the taco shells had an almost wet, steamed texture to them. I believe in constructive feedback, so I hope this can be an area of improvement. I'm keen to give them another try in the future, hoping for a better experience. read more

Craving tacos so I picked up to go order. Restaurant looks clean and staff was friendly. Nothing special about the tacos. Would need to try other items to truly get a feel for food quality. read more

Always consistently good. Wait staff is efficient and cordial. Prices reasonable for today's world.

I had the carne asada and added a side of vegetables and it was delicious. It was the perfect dish for me and I had lots of leftovers.

Ok yellow queso! It was so good you guys. It's been a while since I've seen that but I really enjoyed it. My husband and I went on a Friday night and we were seated fairly quickly. I made the mistake of ordering a passion fruit margarita and it was not good. As in not good I mean a lot watery and little to no passion fruit flavor. I hear the margaritas are great and everyone's looked really good so it must be just what I ordered! We both had tamales and agree they were ok but not the best we've had around here. Our server was really late to getting refills and our check, but she was sweet. It wasn't a bad experience at all and we both agree we need to give it a couple more chances and branch out on that menu. read more

I wouldn't consider this a good Mexican restaurant. The entrees are passable, the service not so much. If anything, this is a good Mexican bar. The bar area has a good vibe. The frozen margaritas are the best in the city, and there are plenty of dips to choose from. Beware, it can get pricey ($10 for guac dip?!). read more

We had lunch there today. The food was good but the service was friendly but very poor. The overall ambiance was also just ok also.

Good, standard Tex-Mex. I see several reports of bad service - this is a busy, packed place. I've been here many times, and service has always been decent. But in a really busy place, sometimes it might be a bit off. Don't let that stop you if you want good tex-mex. And especially if you want THE best spinach enchilada on the face of the planet. The vegetarian plate comes with a chili relleno stuffed with veggies and cheese, and a bean burrito (totally unnecessary), and a spinach enchilada that is awesome. A hint of cumin and some other heavenly spice make it alone worth being here. Tacos carbon are also great (with lots of sour cream, guac, and pico). And the rice is perfectly seasoned and cooked (nice and fluffy and tender). Four stars - A solid choice for good tex-mex. read more

Wow! Another place that I have completely forgotten to review! Have lived here 11 years and this was one of our usual family dinner spots. It's been a hot minute and especially after everything that's been going on in the world. I was craving their tacos al carbon and if I'm being honest, I was actually craving their margarita ‍. Has a nice evening out with the hubs. As always, friendly service, great food, and spot on drinks! Craving filled! read more

Decent atmosphere. 3 TVs in the bar area. The bartender found the Mavs game and Stars games for me to watch. Thank you to her! The chips were not hot/warm or fresh tasting. Salsa was average. read more

I love the food here! This is my go to restaurant in Gonzales. My recommendations are the white queso, the Maria's Alfredo pasta, the chicken soup (I craved that when I was pregnant), the veggie fajitas, the shredded chicken chimichangas with queso on top, the chicken enchiladas! read more

Honestly this place has gone down hill. It used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant, but they changed the menu and atmosphere. However, I still love their simple tacos. Those are good! Especially the meat. read more

Service was lacking, could be better, took approximately 10 minutes to be asked what to DRINK. And another 3-5 after that to be asked what to eat. But the chips and salsa for appetizers came pretty quick. Place was relaxed, not too crowded or empty, which confused me as to why it took 15 minutes to get asked what to eat when servers walked around and barely glanced at us while not serving others or getting food. Place is clean, though, servers treat you respectfully. 1 Hispanic seen so far, none else, coming from a Texan Hispanic (me). As far as food goes, I ordered the Fajitas Ultima and wasn't asked how I wanted my steak, so they must all be medium done, I'm not sure. Food was pretty good, steak strips and pork especially; worth the small wait. read more

Ordered delivery today via Waitr and decided to grab the $10 nachos appetizer along with my meal. My disappointment cannot be thoroughly enough expressed in these nachos. These cost $10!! Ten. Dollars. Let that sink in. There are 12 chips in total here. That nearly $1 per chip. Someone working minimum wage can't even afford these nachos after an entire hour of work. This would be what I would expect the chef at Hotel Rowanda made because he thought that's what nachos were supposed to be. 12 chips and a sneeze of cheese is not worthy of being called "nachos" from a claimed Mexican cuisine establishment. My dissatisfaction is immeasurable and my stomach is unsatisfied. 2/10 at least the jalapeños were tasty. read more

Casa Maria - "Nachos" - Mexican Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

The server was the only reason they received the 3rd star. Trey was very attentive. This is like every other blase' tex mex restaurant. Salsa was just okay, guacamole was bland and the one scoop you get as an appetizer is way overpriced. Husband's nachos had so much melted shredded cheese as opposed to queso that when they melted it on those thin chips he couldn't eat them because the chips just broke apart underneath them. There was just big clumps of cheese on broken pieces of chips. My chimichanga was small but the chicken was well seasoned. The nuggets we ordered for my grandson looked like the frozen nuggets that you get from McDonalds. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but it wasn't that. It isn't some place we'll bother going back to. read more

Went here the other night with the damn fam cause we were feeling a bit burned out on Las Palmas (the other local Mexican place in the area) and I wanted to try this joint... Love the interior and ambience of this place...dark and in my opinion gives off an intimate vibe and the food was OUTSTANDING!!! The sisters weren't digging the 'ritas...not that they were bad but the Las Palmas 'ritas are the BOMB...gotta defer because they are the 'rita specialists in this family!! They offered a shredded beef taco plate and I went for it...closest thing I've found to a brisket taco since I been down here...I do miss Cantina Laredo and my brisket tacos back in Shreveport Everyone enjoyed their respective meals, me especially, and this is definitely on my return again on a regular basis kinda place. P.S. They have Sol cerveza so even though I started this review with 4 stars given the fact that they offered the closest thing I have found to a brisket taco down here and the Sol I'm upgrading to 5!!! read more

Went there Sunday night and food was a mess! The waitress was amazing but their kitchen. Refs to get it together. I wanted extra sauce on my pasta it came with none, only butter on the noddles (but I didn't order butter). When they finally brought my sauce after 20 minutes (my 5 kids were already done eating) it was straight out the fridge not even room temp, straight out the fridge. So why did I wait 20 extra minutes. also I got sick as a dog when the people next to us were all smoking those electric cigarettes and the manager never even told them anything. Very upset. Food was taken off the bill but holy crap we didn't eat and was offered free dessert but I just wanted dinner not junk food. read more

They are not abiding by safety in this time of necessity. Only one waiter consistently wore his mask. Even the manager thinks that mask are for covering the chin. If you are looking for safety conscious stay away until this passes. read more

Casa Maria - Microwaved garbage. - Mexican Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

We went yesterday, about 1 pm. My daughter ordered the tortilla soup and really liked it. I'm on an "empanada hunt", so ordered their beef empanada. It was good, just plain beef inside, no veggies as some others I've had, but it was a really good plain one. Good flavor and the crust is really light and flaky. There was pico de gallo and queso blanco which were very good but, next time, I believe I will order guacamole to go with it. We will go back. Service was good, it was not too crowded. read more

They had fish tacos as a special tonight. The tilapia seemed fine...and it was well seasoned. It smelled a tad bit "fishy" but probably because it was overcooked as fish often is which brings out the oils so you get that "fishy" smell...not necessarily an indicator that it was old fish which many people think. While good, there was nothing spectacular about the fish taco.....grilled seasoned fish, lettuce, tomato, cheese...pretty basic and plain. A special sauce would have added so much more to the plain lonely taco. But my biggest problem recently has been the sides. The rice is always dry and flavorless and the black beans are soupy and mushy and taste straight from a can. I know you don't choose a restaurant for their side dishes, but having decent ones that are consistent (consistently good mind you) sure does add to the experience. But for basic US Mexican food....Casa Maria will do. read more

Called ahead to reserve a table for 14 people or so. They did not have our reservation on the book and we had to wait for our tables to be set up. Once we got seated things took a turn for the better. Decent chips and salsa but the true stars are the white and yellow queso. Neither one is made with velveeta. The white queso is exceptionally delicious. Portions sizes are good but I think there were some missing dish components and some things on the menu should probably be clarified. There is shredded chicken on the menu for quesadillas and enchiladas but it doesn't specify if it's seasoned or not. In case you're wondering, it is. There isn't anything wrong with it, it just isn't plain shredded chicken if that's what you want. Overall, a decent experience. Just maybe won't go with a group again. read more
