The guacamole that the…read moreserver comes around to ask you if you would like some is actually priced as much as a regular lunch meal, it's not complimentary (it's posted on the final tab). Service is great, professional, no complaints at all. Some of the male servers have long beards or facial hair long enough that should be under a hairnet. Clean restaurant and clean bathrooms. Ambiance good but loud and noisy, with TV screens on everywhere. Unfortunately, we will no longer eat at this location or any Mexican restaurant, as much as we really like it. Reason: one of the young man that was clearing and cleaning the tables/booths went into the men's bathroom with his kitchen glove on his right hand to clean the restroom. He was in and out of the bathroom and then came out with the same kitchen glove on, did not look like he discarded the glove or properly washed his hands. He then picked up a serving trey and a clean cloth from the kitchen rack and went about his duty cleaning tables/booths. Thinking that he might handle the chips and salsa back in the kitchen and then bring it out to the customers, made my stomach very nauseated. As a staff member, in the food industry especially, going into the restroom with a kitchen glove on is a BIG NO-NO!!! The health department would have a huge issue with that! As much as we enjoyed this restaurant, it will no longer be a place for us to eat at .

We ended up driving to Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant in Fargo 30 minutes before they closed, placed our take-out order and within 15 minutes we had our order and were on our way.

This is the old Smiling Moose Deli location. The food here is fresh & authentic. Was very good. This was my first time trying Elote Queso, and I'd describe it as thicker than normal queso & is made with corn (which is what Elote is). The chips were great and the serving size was huge. I haven't tried the breakfast items or the evening Fri/Sat menu but hope to soon.

Today we took a last minute trip to Fargo specifically to go to Maria's Mexican Restaurant. But…read morebecause our unexpected trip to Fargo was on a whim we were pressed for time. I kept it within the speed limit but it was hard. We rolled up at 1:50 and found a nice parking spot almost i. Front of Maria's. I hurried inside and ordered a #9, Maria added a little avocado and it was eye closing drift away in flavor delicious. The hospitality is as genuine as the dishes Maria and her staff create. Maria sent us on our way with some chips and salsa (which I'm currently munching on as I type) For me it's the overall welcoming feeling I get when I cross the threshold into her establishment combined with A menu that checks all the right boxes. Do yourself a flavor favor and try Maria's on 1st Avenue just west of Broadway in Downtown Fargo. Todd R.

I ordered lunch flatua and beef chimichanga. I must have ordered wrong, as it had onions and peppers in it that I needed to pick out. I also didn't eat much of the tortillas. My parents liked their seafood fajitas but they didn't come out sizzling. The lunch portion was also small. I've had better Mexican food elsewhere.

The servers were really friendly even with juggling over 25 people across several tables. I forgot to take pictures, but the queso Uno and chips are definitely worth ordering along with a tasty frozen margarita. My son had the steak fajitas and they were good, his only feedback being that the onions were not as cooked as you would expect so they were more like raw versus grilled. I had the grilled burrito with shredded beef and it was amazing! It was a generous portion of meat with lettuce and pico and cheese and beans and nice fresh ingredients, wrapped up in a big tortilla and then nicely grilled until crispy on all sides - so good and not covered in sauce and not fried, just fresh and hot.
