    Veggie fajitas were really good
    Cheryl R.

    We were concerned about coming because of all the bad reviews but we decided to try it for ourselves. Honestly it was pretty good. The vegetarian fajitas were Really nice with big chunks of zucchini and mushrooms. And the burrito Al Capone ,was really good . Chips and salsa were pretty standard. And the strawberry margarita was good , Although I honestly could not tell the difference between the 16 ounce in the 20 ounce. What I come back yes. Fun decor as well. And our service was great. She was pleasant and fast.

    Plenty of parking by the restaurant, a cute area to walk around for a bit! Some staff wore masks. There is indoor and outdoor seating areas. The restaurant is big enough that everyone is socially distanced since it was pretty empty. We were seated right away. The service just was not there. The waitress was all sorts of confused when taking our order. We had actually ordered the ultimate fajita quesadilla but decided to just let it go since she seemed so overwhelmed. Chips and salsa - first one is on the house and then you have to pay. Guac dip very standard. Blue Lagoon Margarita: tasted good but lacked in the amount of alcohol. Could barely feel any buzz. We ordered the half pitcher thinking it would at least be a cup and a half each, however, it just about fills up to one cup each. For the price and the amount I would have rather ordered two different drinks. Empanadas: it comes with 3 and you can mix and match. I ordered 2 beef and 1 chicken. The beef one tasted good, but the chicken one was really dry and lacked in flavor. Ultimate fajita: good flavor and the meats were tender as well. It comes with 3 fajitas per order. You can choose from either corn or flour. So we were dining in around 7pm, right while we were still eating the staff starts mopping the floor with heavy smelling cleaning supplies. It was so strong it was difficult to enjoy our food because all we could smell was the chemicals. The food wasn't bad but the service was horrible. Wouldn't be a place I would come back to.

    The "Ultimate Fajita"  I finished 1/3 to fit it in the box.

    Full Review: Inside: Maria's is a nice little hole in the wall in a Publix plaza. The interior is lit dimly for ambiance, and the typical American Mexican Restaurant themed paraphernalia adorns the walls, lights, and bar. 6/10 (bar seating) Drinks: I got the 20oz Frozen Peach Margarita. I started to doubt this tasty treat's alcohol content because it was so sweet and tasty. After half a glass, it hit, and I realized these margaritas were nothing to play with! I was the only one at the bar on a Friday at 5 pm, and my margarita was swinging! I'd definitely come back for drinks! 8/10 - I like a little bite to my drinks, and the bar seating was awkward to eat due to an arm rest. Food: My complimentary chips were standard fare, but my salsa tasted pre-made. I got the "Ultimate Fajita" with chicken, steak, shrimp, chorizo, carnitas, bell peppers, and onions. If you like meat to taste like just that "meat", it'll do it for you. Personally, I prefer a little char or extra seasoning (garlic, pepper,spicy, salty, umami, etc.) to my meats, but this is the middle of the row as far as my tastes. The carnitas, shrimp, and chorizo were the best part of the meal with chorizo easily at #1. I like the salty taste to the chorizo. The carnitas have a slight carbonified char taste, and the shrimp is well rounded on seasoning. Bellpeppers and onions also add a salty, umami, and almost make up for the chicken and steak. Overall, it doesn't create a ubiquitous experience for me when combined in a tortilla. There is nothing wrong, just not tasty enough to be "good" or "great." Rice and beans were good, and the plate they came on was hot. My corn tortillas were greasy (in a good way) and hot! Separate, there are some pretty high points. 6/10 - It's not bad, and I think most people would like it. The Latin flavors should be tapped into a bit more to give this restaurant an edge. The portions are a tad small for the price as well. I suspect the flavors are a tad subdued in the interest of broad appeal. However, that and location are the primary reasons for my rating.

    If you're looking for good authentic Mexican food.....this is NOT it. Every had no flavor. The guacamole look and taste like whipped ice cream. Ambiance wS nice but food not good.

    Wow! Great chef!!

    See all

    Margaritas are over priced and the server tried to upsell me to a larger size. The food was not good.

    Chili's is a long-time favorite of mine. Their queso con carne is so good! I used to go to the…read moreChili's near my church every few Sunday's, up until they closed their doors. The building still exists with the handles and everything. However, it's been repurposed so many times, by so many people, that it's almost unrecognizable. Needless to say, I was hyped to be able to eat here. We reminisced about the "old days" and ordered that delicious queso. While ordering, I noticed that the mozzarella sticks were replaced with the monstrously huge "Fried Mozzarella". I simply HAD to order them too. I'm so glad I did because they were crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, piping hot all the way thru, and deliciously melty and flavorful! Honestly, in the moment, they were way better than the queso dip. Ok...enough about the amazingly, deliciously, fantastic Fried Mozzarella [pockets]. Well, on more thing: they really should rename them to (if you have to keep this part: "Fried", so be it) Fried [Mozzarella Pockets]. They resemble Hot Pockets, but they're filled with just mozzarella. The name fits so much better than saying just Fried Mozzarella, but hey, what do I know? I'm just some guy. DO IT, CHILI'S! "Mozzarella Pockets" Anyway... My sister ordered the Sirloin with Avocado and lime sauce on top- medium. She said it was refreshing and very tasty. Her steak had ZERO sinew and no fat. That's a good thing for her because she doesn't eat the fat. I ordered the Classic Ribeye. The chef put a beautiful crust on the outside with a touch of pepper and salt. Unfortunately, there was a little bit of sinew, but when I say a little bit, I really do mean a little bit. The sinew amounted to approximately the same amount as the wide section of my fork. This is very nearly negligible. The fat was almost entirely rendered and was very easy to chew thru along with the meat- adding wonderful mouthfeel to every bite. The dollop of whipped butter on top was basically only there for decoration and "just in case-ness". Honestly, just as good as any ribeye I've done carefully at home. I got french fries so that I could dip them in the leftover queso con carne. Always the right choice! Advice: NEVER LEAVE ANY QUESO. Seriously though, they never give you enough chips for the salsa AND the queso, but if you order more chips, then you have too many chips! It's like the old hotdog and hotdog bun conundrum. I figured out that if you use more chips for salso and finish that off and use less chips for queso, then you can finish off the queso with your fries! Lastly, I wanted to mention the asparagus. The asparagus, you'll notice is on both of our plates. It was cooked perfectly. The bases of the stalks were tender and the spear heads were not mushy at all. There was a perfect amount of pepper, but perhaps a bit too much salt for some. Although, that's really how I like it. When we walked in, we were greeted after only a couple minutes of waiting. The hostess walked us to a table and went off to retrieve our waiter. When are waiter came, he asked for a drink orders, and I went to head and gave him the appetizers. Our appetizers arrived within about eight minutes, while we were looking at the menu. The chips and salsa did not actually come to our table until after our queso arrived. The person that delivered our queso to the table, saw that we did not have any chips or salsa and said he would get us some immediately. He did. The Fried Mozzarella came out a few minutes later. Our food arrived about 8 minutes after that. The waiter was attentive and came to our table four or five times to check on us throughout our meal. He did not interrupt our conversations or pester us in any way and was very friendly as well. I highly recommend this location. It is loud, so if you are sensitive to that kind of thing, be aware of that. However, all the TV's are on the side of the restaurant with the bar. So, it may be tolerable for you on the other side of the restaurant. Check them out if you are in the area! I'll definitely be back when I'm visiting my grandmother!

    Would not recommend the salmon. Over cooked and so dry I thought it was some sort of fish jerky!…read more I had to add lettuce from home to what was supposed to be a side salad so I actually had one.
