Breakfast burrito of mostly potatoes
Pedro D.

I hate leaving bad reviews. In fact, it's very rare when I do leave any type of negative review. This Sunday morning I decided to stop at Las Marias to try a breakfast burrito. So I walked in bright and early, greeted by the gentleman. Looked at my breakfast burrito options, noticed the $12 breakfast burrito prices. I figured, wow, should be decent size for that price. Gave you choice of bacon, sausage, and chorizo was extra. I picked bacon. Needless to say, the burrito was very small. Unusually small for burrito standards. Took it to go, got home, unpacked my burrito and it was mostly potatoes! Hardly any egg, bacon, or cheese. It was really disappointing. So, I got a tiny burrito made of mostly potato. Again, I hate leaving negative reviews and always love to support mom and pop establishments, but this made me never wanting to try this place again. For the record, I have been to Las Marias before and liked my food. Never blown away, but first time and last time having a breakfast burrito.

Las Maria is a true neighborhood gem, and it has earned a permanent place as my go-to spot, primarily because of one thing... their incredible house made Chile Verde. I recently stopped by for a meal where I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with their Chile Verde which is a perfect combination of tortilla chips and a fried egg topped with a hearty scoop of that chile verde. I have to be honest. This is the only thing I ever order here, whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is consistently exceptional. My family enjoyed their meals as well, my wife had their Chile Relleno plate, and my son had the Enchiladas, overall great food. Beyond the food, the experience is wonderful. This family run spot is always amazing, inviting, and friendly. The consistent hospitality and delicious food is why I keep coming back.

Chilaquiles

4.5 stars! Service is quick and staff are friendly. Food is good and potions are good! Free parking on the lot! Cash or card! About 8 tables of different sizes to sit in and eat. They bus the tables after you eat but you order first at the counter. We will be back!

Pretty good local spot for Mexican food. The chilaquiles came out hot and still crunchy, they was it should be. The menudo tasted clean and the tripe was cooked to the perfect texture. The pieces of meat are cut into overly large pieces, which makes it a bit hard to eat. Overall, a solid bowl of menudo.

Enchiladas plate.

Grabbed something to eat for dinner at Las Marias since it was somewhat near Azusa Pacific University. The food was good. Initially, I was craving chile rellenos but they ran out so I opted for an enchilada plate (1 beef and 1 cheese). It was good. The portions were a bit small. The enchilads were very cheesy, rice and beans were good. Service was nice and friendly and the place was clean.

A friend suggested to meet up at Las Marias for lunch. It's a good sign that most customers there are locals and tradesmen stop by for lunch. I ordered two tacos and a sope with Al pastor, asada and birria. The tacos are good size with substantial meat in there. Sope has a nice shell with the other necessary components. They are tasty like a home cooked meal that you could come back everyday. My friend's combo burrito looks really impressive. It's really big with green and red sauce on top. For $12.75, it's a really good value. I'd love to try their menudo. But like most places, they only serve it on the weekend. But the lady told me they start serving it Friday-Sunday now. The lady who took our order is very nice and friendly. The restaurant has a homey vibe where you can just relax and fill up on some good Mexican food.

Hidden gem or local favorite, come for the quest birria tacos! I have been here twice, but I haven't been able to try anything else because these are just too good!! Fast casual spot with some tables for dining in. I got my order to go. The quesatacos come with an oder of 4 large tacos, consummate, and salsa. It's plenty to share and you probably should share so you can order more menu items. Delicious! I will return.

Near boiling bowl - steamed up the lens.

One of those GEMS you get lucky enough to stumble upon in a strip mall! Clean, delicious, fast and friendly service - Mexican radio radiating from a cook that is eager to serve up his handiwork....couple young guys working early Sunday Morning! Came in for a breakfast burrito to go, but saw the Menudo in the menu and had to order it and am sooo glad I did. Clean, deep flavor from a pot that's been simmering for days I'm sure. Get it!

My first time here! Service was great! Very friendly staff and I loved how she recommended my menu! Most importantly, this queso tacos were so good!!! I can't believe I did not try this place until today! Ambiance was also another factor! Painting on the wall was creative and brought good vibes. Will be returning soon.

I wish I knew about this place sooner because the tacos were close what I was looking for. I went around 4pm and ordered carnitas and al pastor tacos with green salsa. The carnitas were moist and tender. A bite in and the meat practically pulled itself apart. The al pastor tacos were nicely seasoned and flavorful. I loved how the chunks of meat were large. The addition of the green salsa to both tacos gave a nice kick and flavor boost. Overall, the tacos were incredible. $2.25 for each is just slightly cheaper than other taco places in Monrovia. This has now become my go-to spot.

I came for the Birria tacos and they did not disappoint! This came out to be $13 an order for 4 tacos with consume! That's such a deal considering other places are charging at least $16. It was very meaty and the tacos were super crispy. There was a decent amount of cheese but it wasn't overwhelming. The consume was decent but I just felt like it was lacking something. I didn't get any limes or salsa with my order so I felt like that was what it was missing. Definitely ask for that when ordering! This is a small mom and pop spot with excellent service. They were very welcoming and I would recommend this place when in the area for some good birria tacos!

We absolutely loved this place! It's a little hidden, but we are so glad we stopped in…read more My wife and I brought our son Liam here for the first time, and everything was delicious. I had the shrimp cocktail, my wife had the carne asada burrito, and Liam got the burger. He already said he wants to come back and try the tacos next time! It's a small, local spot with a great drink menu, including those amazing fancy micheladas and margaritas. They also have TVs playing both fútbol and football, which makes it a fun place to hang out, eat, and watch a game. Our waitress, Diana, was wonderful and mentioned that they're trying to get the word out about the restaurant! so here it is: GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! We love finding little local Mexican spots like this, and this one deserves some love. Great food, great drinks, friendly service, and we'll definitely be back. Spread the word and support a local business!

Stopped by this restaurant because my husband and I drove by and noticed the catchy name…read more We walked in were immediately greeted, and told to sit anywhere we'd like. Once we sat down, our server (Yanetza) introduced herself with a big smile, and took our drink order. A couple of minutes later, she asked us if we were ready to place our food order. Which we were. I ordered Ciro style shrimp, and my husband ordered a chicken quesadilla. Let me just say, my shrimp were a 10 out of a 10. They were shell-on, plump, tender, and coated in pungent caramelized garlic with a sharp lingering chili kick. I did not taste the quesadilla but my husband said it was flavorful, and packed with chicken. The only downfall, and reason for a 4 out of 5 stars was because of the music. The volume was turned up a bit too high. At times, it was really hard for me to hear my husband. Other than that, this place will definitely see me again. I was gratified by all of the rich flavors in my dish. Lastly, Yanetza was awesome! She was very attentive, and efficient, without hovering.
