Our server was attentive and kind, and the food was timely and hot! Overall the flavors were not the best thing I've ever had. Overall, it was bland and under-seasoned by quite a bit. The sauces do much of the work here, making the food ok, but not something I'd crave enough to go out of my way for it. We really wanted to love this place, and we will likely come back and try again, because every restaurant has off days and it may have just been the dish I ordered. Looking forward to trying it again soon, but until then, 3 stars for ambiance and service... hope to add more stars the next time we visit!

It is absolutely beautiful from the paintings to the seating to the ceiling. The food portions are huge , which is a big plus for us. The burritos are pretty good but nothing crazy. We got the mixed fajitas with the chicken and beef and the chicken seasoning is delicious in them. I don't know if the chicken burrito has the same seasoning but it didn't taste like it did, the fajitas were delicious. The fried icecream is a must. Very delicious from start to finish. The waitering staff is very kind and cracked a few jokes here and there. They were on top of the refills and made the experience enjoyable.

However…read morewe were pleasantly surprised with delicious food, attentive and friendly service, extensive cocktail menu and a beautiful and cozy space. The murals are really quite lovely. Some of the food is a bit bland, but when paired with some salsa verde, it was delicious. I think often in the U.S. Mexican restaurants keep their food kind of bland to accommodate their white customers. Once I had some green sauce my food was great.

I was suspicious of this place. The overall review score isn't real strong, but let's be honest,…read moremost restaurants aren't impressing like they used to. There aren't a lot of solid Mexican choices in the area, so sometimes you got to settle for whose established on the block. The last time I had Mexican here, there was a place called Melaque, or something to that effect, but they are long gone. Service here was really slow, from being seated, to having our order taken to getting our drinks refilled. That said, despite service being inexcusably slow, it was polite and friendly. The chips didn't taste real fresh. And the salsa was less than chunky r flavorful, but the meal was served hot. All restaurants say hot plate, but these people meant it. The meal was probably a C+, but the way that plate was smoking, it promoted the flavor to a solid B. Price and portion were both reasonable and if this place was on my block, I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Another beef I have has become more common. Places are not serving signature plates for lunch like Carne Asada, Carnitas, etc. Only ground beef and chicken items. Lunch is a great way to sample the menu and you are serving those items anyway, so why not for lunch. In the end, pretty basic and nothing special other than the heat of the meal. 3/5.

I'm actually really surprised that I haven't written a review about Maria's because I've been there…read moreso many times! Maria's used to be the old El Toro in University Place. I don't think a lot has changed, and that's fine. They have good staff, the happy hour is great and that's all I need. A good margarita, a bowl of chips, and maybe a taco, burrito, or enchilada. They also never have a problem making my food vegetarian, which I greatly appreciate.

I am an EL Pulgarcito FAN…read more So I don't typically commit 'pupusa adultery' by visiting other Pupusarias. Though I have--twice. One that closed on 72nd some years ago (THANK GOD) and Balcon Express which was decent but to me has fallen off. Nothing came close to EL P. Until now. Living in Lakewood and enroute to my neighborhood I decided to try this place. It's m SO glad I did. My fellow Lakewoodians--yall come and patronize this establishment!! My favorite Pupusa is the Bean, Cheese & Pork aka 'the Rebueltas' and was VERY...VERY good. I almost want to say better or at the least just as good as EL-P. I ordered 2 and they were fresh made and arrived HOT! They were filled with what tasted like Oaxaca cheese, beans and I guess it had some pork in there but I couldn't really taste it. Seeing that they tasted so good I can't say that the pork not coming through was...unfortunate. Weird. They were very moist & not dry at all. Rebueltas are my favorite Pupusa and those two (the size of a saucer) made me VERY happy and a little sweepy (sleepy). They came with the standard 'Curdito' that was stuffed into one of those little tartar or ketchup cups with tha' lid. I was really confused on the teeny cup but it was just the right amount (for me). I will get an additional one however next time (and there will be a next time) as theirs is a little more flavorful than most Curditos. Atmosphere: Music standard but at a good level. And you should be able to keep your food digested as it has a... Pretty clean eating area with bright blue and white walls. Not overly decorated. Floors (which is carpeted) are pretty decent. This used to be 'Mis Tre Amigos' and was 'boothed' for seating. They (Taco Don Ricky) have tables and all of which as far as I could see--we're very clean. No odd smells. Restrooms: Don't know. I RARELY --use public restrooms unless I reeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy gotta go cuz other than that--I cinch it tight and pray for 'deliverance and prosperity' and wait for my own 'Queen ala' Throne of Received...errrr....Grace' The commode. I know. I know. It's a terrible, just TERRIBLE way to end this here glowing review but look here--yall come get some of this! Pupusas yall. Pupusas. Gosh...not tha' 'Grace'.

We went the Friday before Valentine's Day and it wasn't busy at all around 6pm. The music was blasting though! I wish they turned it down a bit for dinner. The server told us that they are having an event and after 10pm there's a cover fee. On to the food! The sushi on the menu is kind of confusing for a Mexican/Spanish restaurant but they offer it. The sushi is basic or fried if you're into that. I ordered the Zarandeado Shrimp. The flavor was tasty but the shrimp was SO OVERCOOKED! I was disappointed that the shrimp was so flattened and basically hard rubber. My husband ordered Chicken Fajitas and the chicken slices were very thin. I think we ordered the wrong things. Maybe they are better known for their cold seafood, appetizers and drinks. I guess we will have to come back to find out!
