I asked for corn tortillas and charro beans which came with the meal. First to arrive was the complimentary chips and salsa. I enjoyed their taste (4). The sizzling platter arrived a few minutes later with grilled onions and chicken on it. Included were some delicious charro beans, guac, pico de gallo and rice. I enjoyed this meal (4). At $13 it was a real deal but the meat portion was smaller than the more expensive dinner option along with only getting 2 tortillas. Finally the table service was very good too.

Neither one of us had eaten and we were both starving. We had decided that when I was released we would just go to the restaurant that was in the same parking lot as the facility. I had been to the restaurant before, had fajitas and they were served bloody raw and was just disgusting so I Never went back. We mentioned where we were planning to go to some of the staff members and they said do not go there and that it was too expensive for the type of Mexican food that they serve you. Then they all suggested Maria Rita's. My wife and I had never heard of it before so we asked where it was and it was located 2min down the street. When we got there it was packed, but we decided to thug it out and wait for a table, this also gave us time to troll the parking lot and land a killer parking spot as people left. We finally got the notice that our table was ready. The inside was clean, awesome and had a savory aroma mixed with a Smokey grill Oder that just made us even more hungry than we already were. We both ordered this dish that came with fajitas and bacon wrapped shrimp with a cheese sauce that was Truly Amazing! When I finally was able to take a bite of one of the four gigantic shrimp after I completely destroyed my fajitas, I thought that I was going to pass out from the ecstasy that the flavor profile from that shrimp that overwhelmed my senses! We both enjoyed our meal,(obviously) and I can't end this review without mentioning how attentive, nice and unexpected table side manor that the staff had displayed despite being overwhelmed with a full house crowd. A truly epic experience. Please dig deep for a tip, they deserve it. Enjoy!!

The place was quite empty at this hour, round 3pm I gathered. We watched a game, Canada vs. Qatar I believe - lots of goals anyhow. It was fun to watch with the Spanish commentary. Anyway, back to the food. We had a piece of sizzling steak, shrimp salad, and some other meat. All well cooked and delicious. The portions were huge, which is not uncommon on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. The service could be better though. We have waited quite a while for the mains, which is alright. But the drinks came with it, not before, while we were waiting. Hence, I am subtracting one star. Funny enough the check mentions 30% tip option. I had a good laugh ;) I gave them 20 probably.

We ordered the chicken fajitas and 2 al pastor tacos. The fajitas do not come out on a skillet, the chicken is just chopped up with some onions, it was hot, it was ok. The Al pastor tacos were not great. The meat was kinda soggy and almost ground up. The rice was a wet rice with a different flavor than most I have ever had. Didn't care for it at all and I generally love Mexican rice. An acquaintance recommended this place and they love it, especially the breakfast. So I would say maybe try their breakfast or perhaps having previously lived on the Mexican border and eating there often I'm too picky. Overall I wouldn't rate it terrible but definitely not the best I've ever had.
