Cute atmosphere, my husband's food was really good. He ordered the bone marrow and the brisket. Brisket was super tender and the bone marrow was a generous portion. I had the carne asada and it was not very good unfortunately. Super thin meat, not enough flavor and it also was hard to cut. The chips and salsa were good. And the waitress was very friendly. I would recommend. Ohhh and the Mexican rice was super good. Better than my meat! Lol read more

Service was horrible. Took a long time for waitress to even notice us. She was apologetic, and you would think it would get better, but it didn't. They did bring more chips and hot sauce. Went thru a bowl waiting on drinks to arrive. Went thru another bowl waiting on food. Meanwhile, I needed a tea refill. Got our food in an acceptable time, but no tea refill. And food was blazing hot, as was the platter it was served on. The lady who brought our food (not our waitress) warned us about how hot it was. There seemed to be a couple of ladies watching over the dining area in some sort of authoritative manner, but they never did anything that I saw. I waited for a tea or water refill (they were both empty) to eat afraid it would burn my mouth. Finally I took a bite or two after the water was refilled. It was meh. Tacos were extremely greasy. Beans and rice were ok and had a good flavor. Wife was not happy with her food either. Finally got a tea refill after a long time and the waitress asked how the food was. "you don't want to know" I said. I lifted up a taco and showed her the grease pool it was sitting in. She said the tacos weren't usually that greasy, and she would go get somebody to come talk to us because they really want the food to be good. Waited awhile longer and no one came over. Fished out enough cash to cover the bill, which I hadn't gotten yet and dang sure didn't want to wait around to get it, then have to wait around to get my credit card back. And we left. Never to return. Even if the service had been halfway decent, the food we got just doesn't measure up. As for food, seemed like they offer either tacos or sandwiches. The fact it's not typical Mexican fare is about the only thing I agree with the other reviewers about. The waitress was nice enough, and I saw her bringing drinks to other tables, so I don't know what the deal was with us. I really think she was clueless about the poor service we were getting. We left about 30 minutes ago, and I'm wondering if she's noticed yet. read more

Humos blew us right out of the water. We are very critical of food and Humos was absolutely amazing. We had the Mexican shrimp cocktail, flautist and beef tacos.. omg!! Chef's Kiss read more

Ambiance was good and the staff was really friendly. I however am not fond of the food. The birria tacos tasted like a bar b q sandwich and the quesadilla grits is a basic meat pie. Maybe I was thrown off by thinking it was Mexican food. Seems to get great reviews but I just missed the concept I guess. read more

Great food. Excellent service. Tomales are absolutely wonderful. Would love to give them 6 stars read more

Although the weather did not allow us to dine outdoors and enjoy the view, we had awesome service and food inside, this is a great place and was perfect for our celebration. We will be back again soon. read more

Came to this restaurant because a friend recommended it. Ordered the mariscos plate (?) I forget what it was called but it's a seafood plate. And the "Peruvian Ceviche." I thought it was interesting that they offered a Peruvian dish at a Mexican restaurant but I was excited to try it. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We got the chips and salsa and the salsa was fire! Very good! The salsa was actually spicy and flavorful unlike many of the salsas that are offered here in the local Mexican restaurants. They came in pink plastic Target bowls which I thought was interesting. Unfortunately, I did not know that the chips and salsa were going to be the only good tasting thing we would eat that day. The "Peruvian Ceviche" was not only flavorless and lacking salt or any seasoning what so ever....it was just flat. Traditional Peruvian ceviche is served with roasted kernels...they put popcorn in this dish. Which then gets soggy because it's sitting in like juice. Not very well thought out. When I asked our waitress about it, she said it was just their take on it. Weird. It was very obvious they just use the regular Mexican ceviche they have, slop it on a plate and add sweet potato and some..popcorn on it. Peruvian ceviche does NOT have cucumbers or tomatoes in it. They should just remove it from the menu and stop insulting Peruvians. The seafood dish was also lacking flavor and seasoning. It was just...okay, if that. My husband did enjoy the bone marrow he ordered, which I think was an appetizer. Overall, overpriced and overrated. Also, lacking so much flavor. read more

The ceviche is superb. The bone marrow is even better. I recommend asking for the bread that comes with the fondue to pair with the bone marrow. read more

Good drinks; great margaritas. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Bland and boring food though. Would not recommend.

What a great restaurant! Beautiful decor. Spacious seating. Our waitress and servers were friendly and just the right amount of attention We ordered 3 appetizers for the table. Definitely try the Mexican cocktail. They were presented nicely and were all delicious. All our entrees were visually appealing and scrumptious. And there was plenty! Definitely going back read more

Love the chicken flautas and their chips are the best in Tyler - hands down! The service is always great too!

Kitchen needs to adhere to what's on the menu. Ordered the torte sandwich, it had 2 ingredients that I can't eat on the sandwich and that weren't listed in the menu. Sent it back and it came out with only meat and bread, missing the beans, cheese and dipping sauce. read more

Excellent food and great atmosphere. Was told it was a BBQ place but it is much much more. We had a salmon dish and a shrimp dish. The Baja Shrimp is now my favorite shrimp dish in Tyler! It is kinda a BBQ place with a costal Mexico flare. You start with chips and salsa and they have brisket, chicken, sausage, tacos, and sandwiches but it's going to be hard for me had to keep ordering the Baja Shrimp! read more

My family, friends and I went on a Friday and did not have to wait long for a table. There was 9 of us. The atmosphere is just what Tyler needed. It's got upscale vibes and is a great spot for a date night, but also laid back since they were very accommodating with our kids. The drinks were great, appetizers were huge and delicious. We tried just about every app on the menu and barely had room for dinner. Definitely recommend the seafood fondue!! Service was wonderful. Our server Megan was great!! Dinner was just as amazing as our appetizers. You'll have to try Maria's Chicken! Would 100% recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to go back! read more

Humo - Maria's Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Tyler, Texas

We are new to Texas and we have not been very impressed with the Mexican food. Maybe it's the Tex-Mex style that we are not used to. We found this restaurant and absolutely loved our food!! I had taqueria and my husband had the chicken tacos. They both had excellent flavor! The salsa that comes with the chips has an excellent flavor too. It was a little too spicy for me, but it was good salsa. Chips are okay, but the food was great! read more

Started out great. Owners would visit to ensure everything was good. Now it's beginning to go downhill and fast. Food is lackluster and service is horrendous. Too bad because it's a nice place. read more

It is quality food prepared for the foodie in you! It's my new favorite place!!! read more
