I ordered 2 super burritos and a side of refried beans from Las Marias today using Yelp to order the takeout order. I was down the street shopping and stopped in to pick up my order. I met one of the Owners named Maria. I told her I was new in the area, and she shared her restaurant is family owned and operated. She was very friendly. I'm from San Jose and have had great Mexican food. These burritos were very big and flavorful. She was very generous with the meat, Al Pastor and Asada. Seasoned well and crisped on a plancha, these were great burritos. Now I always get a side of refried beans to see how well they are made. The refried beans at Las Marias were outstanding. I will be back to Las Marias to have dinner in the restaurant. The restaurant is fairly large and well decorated with artwork and a full bar. I'm looking forward to trying more items from than their menu on my next trip. read more

Excellent service and really delicious food. Served hot and fresh. We were greeted by the owner, Maria who was very kind and friendly. She gave us some recommendations and we ended up ordering enough food for that night + the next night that we enjoyed at home. The chips and homemade salsas came out first. 3 different types (2 red and 1 green). All 3 were good but they are spicy. We ordered the mulcajete, crunchy quesa birria tacos, enchiladas, and a chille relleno à la carte. The mulcajete came out bubbling hot with tons of beef, chicken breast, shrimp, and all the veggies. My daughter said her enchiladas (1 chicken and 2 cheese) were extraordinary. The birria tacos were on par - she makes the tortilla with a crunch to it. They were wonderful. Everything else was also very delicious. The rice was fluffy and tasty. The beans were a little soupy but tasted great. I like my beans a little more dense and thick. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Make sure you introduce yourself to Maria. She's a pleasure to speak with and she serves tasty food! read more

The service was excellent and extremely friendly. We ordered Birria tacos, Veggie Nachos, and Flan. The Birria tacos were stuffed with the cheesiest of cheese! It was the craziest cheese pull I've ever seen! I wish I got a photo. The chips and salsa are made fresh and the nachos were yummy! read more

The restaurant needs cleaned more as the floors are really sticky, and it does not always smell good when you walk through the door. The service is not the best, you order at the window, and they bring your food to your table: the problem is no one ever checks back at your table so you have to walk up to the front for refills (chips, salsa, drinks). The rice has always been extremely hard and old; however the birria tacos always seem fresh. The sauce to it is cold, but the tacos themselves seem like they come off the oven. I've ordered every taco they offer, and they too seem to be served on the colder side. It seems their meats and rice are cooked ahead of time and stored in a container that isn't kept warm enough, rather than cooked to order. read more

$1.50 tacos for Taco Tuesday!? Say less. Beyond the awesome deal, the tacos are amazing and even without the deal warrant a visit. My only complaint is that we didn't order enough! read more

We ordered food to go. The staff were extremely rude and curt with me. We ordered nachos with carnitas, carnitas torta, and carne asada tacos. Two bites into the carnita dishes and we had to stop. Pure salt that left everyone nauseous. I had higher hopes for the tacos, nope, just more salt. This was a very expensive experience of disappointment. read more

The best Mexican food in Seaside, and a family business with such kind staff!. Good prices and large portions. Abundant seating, you order beforehand and then seat yourself. We had ordered two super burritos and queso tacos. Free chips and salsa brought to the table! The super burritos are huge, and the meat portion was generous. Same with the queso birria. Selene, the owner, is so kind. She came to check in after we finished our meal and told us about her business. Note that on Fridays, super burritos are only $8.99! read more

I still haven't found a real good Mexican restaurant in the Monterey Peninsula. Tonight I took the bait from Yelp local ads focusing on food pics from Yelpers. This was supposed to be solid "4". I had to bite my tongue to give it a 3. Seriously -- Mex food isn't gourmet. That's not why we go - we love it ( when it's right) because it fills a craving. Stuff we like, who cares if it's rice and beans and tacos if they blow you away with taste? Tonight I ordered chicken enchiladas topped with verde sauce -- big mistake changing my mind from Chili verde. Absolutely awful. Couldn't eat any of the three - rice and beans were "ok"--the chicken was inedible. Stringy and tough, no taste at all. I ate some rather good chips and salsa and left disappointed. Maybe I just ordered the wrong food but that said it should have been decent and jet wasn't. Last-- I know we're not in COVID but during COVID an effort of cleansing was normal. Spraying tables, wiping them with clean cloths...tonight, the tables were being bussed and wiped with the same dirty cloth all the tables were wiped with. Kind of sickening to watch. The floor is made of large tiles kind of yellowish brown color. My feet stuck to everywhere I walked. Look I not suggesting this is operating room clean, but the condition of floor got me thinking ...I did not check the bathrooms. read more

Have been craving burrito and I wanted a really good one! Yesterdays chipotle burrito was a huge disappointment. Hubby suggested this place and I'm glad we went and I got to try it because it is delish!! The person who took our order was pleasant and helpful. We had to wait a little for our food because each order is made fresh! It was the best burrito I've had- gigantic serving! Flavorful! The place is clean and spacious. I can't wait to go back here. read more

Love their Pozole! I get it regularly and it's served with all the fixings. Friendly service from the woman who runs it.

WOW- I have sure been to a lot of Mexican restaurants all over California and Las Marias is exceptional. My wife and I experienced this amazing find for the first time, ordering what has become one of our favorite Mexican feasts - the infamous Molcajete. Oh my god- this was completely next level. First, the sheer size of this thing- I really do think it could feed four people- we could not finish it and ended up taking quite a bit home. This giant screaming hot stone bowl was full of grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, peppers, onions in a magical sauce with melted cheese all over it. It also of course came with tortillas, rice, beans, guac, sour cream, pico de gallo & more cheese. It was absolutely fantastic and Maria, who served us personally, sent us home with extra rice beans and tortillas. I mean wow. I really felt like she treated us like family. So good and Seaside is so lucky to have this place, these people. All of this for $35. If you have not been here you really should go. Absolutely excellent. Thank you Maria! read more

El burrito vegetariano is more like burrito lechuga. It was a loosely wrapped burrito with mostly lettuce, complete with watery sour cream, which dripped out the soggy tortilla bottom. No napkins. No guacamole. There were pockets of what tasted like mozzarella cheese. This vegetarian burrito was disappointing. I passed up other options because of the positive yelp reviews here and a raving review about said burrito. The burrito was ready within five minutes, but I would have appreciated an extra minute or two of thoughtfulness and to not skip on the guacamole I paid for. The staff was kind. read more

One of the best Mexican Food I have tried. Very authentic and huge portions.! It is always a must go when my family and I are in town.

I was expecting better food quality. We ordered sopes and a quesadilla, and the plates were drowning in oil and grease. The heater was off during winter and it was cold inside, the ladies restroom had no paper towels. read more

Oh my god, we started off with the super nacho with grilled chicken and dang! The chicken had tons of flavor and the cheese was abundant! Their queso birria tacos were fire! I also ordered their specialty enchiladas michoacana and it was delightful. I will be frequenting this place for sure! read more

This place is amazing. Once again, they surprise me with next level food. I just finished my shrimp fajitas, and every item served with it - beans, rice, salsa, etc., tastes so fresh! The veggies in the fajitas were still crunchy, not droopy/ overcooked, and there was an ample amt of shrimp. The flavors are subtle, and they pop up at various times as you enjoy your meal. This is NOT your average shrimp fajitas. It's mos def next level ! Vegetarians have options, but the meat dishes are great too! Oh, try the queso birria.ok, gotta get back to these chips - fresh and flavorful! read more

The tacos were fire ! We got the fish (the big one) the barria and al pastor. It did take a little longer than quoted but worth the wait. definitely should be a stand alone taco shop but it's all good read more

Stopped by las Marías for taco Tuesday. This place was packed! Line out the door. People ordering there $1.50 tacos! I really felt like I was in Mexico just eating delicious tacos. I was mesmerized with all the art on the walls of Mexican paintings. Service is a 10! Everyone helping everyone! Just love it here! I will be coming to las Marias bar & grill every Tuesday!! I'm just so satisfied with this place. If you are in town do stop by on Tuesday. read more

Hands down, best queso birria in town. The owner is so sweet. She clearly prides herself on consistency in her flavors and recipes. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered! We do takeout from here probably twice a month and live 20 mins away. When my husband gets home the food is still just as delicious as if we had eaten at the restaurant and the food is packaged well so it gets here in one piece. I personally love the green salsa and their chips are always crunchy and fresh! Love this place. read more

This is the type of local business that makes you happy to support it! Great service, great food! I had the birria tacos and they were flavorful with lots of meat! The atmosphere is nice. You walk up to the counter and order and then take a seat. I got mine to-go but she served chips and salsa to those who were dining in. I did notice signs for a good taco Tuesday deal! Would def return! read more

Seaside Family Restaurant First off they are Open for Dine In!!! Nice atmosphere, cool inside, and nice flat screen TV. Salsa Bar and the chips are nice and crispy. Ordered Nachos which come with at least 4 choices of meat. For lactose free folks just know they come with cheese so you must ask for No Cheese! Same for the sour cream. Staff are friendly and helpful. I'm told they have Taco Tuesday which begins at 1:00pm, all tacos for $2.00 each. Will be returning to sample those and several other menu items; particularly the Michocan Style enchiladas sounds interesting and tasty. Lots of free parking in the rear of the restaurant. Come try it out! read more

Updated review: came back a week later. Ordered the Al pastor super burrito, it was fire. Ordered beef loaded fries and the fries were severally undercooked. Kudos to them for making fries from scratch but it was like steamed potato texture. Suuuper soggy. I still want to like this place, so will try the loaded nachos next time... read more

Hands down Las Marías Bar & Grill is the best local Mexican restaurant in Monterey county. Put that in quotations. I just went there for taco tuesday and happily sipped on my watermelon margarita taking in the ambiance. Las Marías rivals any hipster spot in San Francisco's Mission District. A true hidden gem. Frida Kahlo artwork illuminates the walls. Spice level - Check. Authentic AF. Las Marías Bar & Grill is also a women run family business too. Plus, the super cute day of the dead decorations on the front door made me feel right at home. namaste read more
