6pc wings
Alyssa M.

Omg I'm not even finished with my food I had to stop and write a review. How have I gone this long without trying this place?! I ordered the wings, which come with a chipotle ranch and small cup of consommé. The wings were crispy, flavorful, and didn't require sauce because they were so good on their own. However, the chipotle ranch was amazing. The consommé though!? WOW that stuff is so good I wish I ordered 2 more sides of it!!! They were out of the blue soda I ordered so they offered me a blue lemonade. I thought it was great! I'll have to try the soda another time. I'll definitely be back.

Birria tacos were extremely bland and lacked flavor. Tacos way too soggy. The rice was extremely too salty. The website needs enhancements. Why isn't there a better description of the wings advising of how many wings you get per order? Why are you advertising a coupon code for a free soda via email, yet, there's no section on your website to select a soda, added the code at checkout and didn't receive a free soda with my order. Why advise of your food truck address and location on both email and on your Instagram stories yet when we arrived in person, the food truck was not at the address provided via email and Instagram which was a waste of time and gas. Ended up having to back track and visit the Thrift Road location instead. I won't be patronizing again. Way too unorganized and food was horrible.

I've been hearing of chatter about Mariah's Taco Spot which is a food truck filled with taco goodness. Marriah's offers five varieties of tacos; chicken, beef, chipotle surf & turf, salmon and shrimp and for the chicken wing lover they offer chicken wings with your choice of two tacos and seasoned rice; be sure to get the baby oil to dip the wings in and to drizzle it on the tacos. Marriah's is not like your average food truck, if you miss her at her Freedom Drive stop you literally have to follow her on instagram to see where she'll be next. Besides having great fresh cookedfood Miles and the rest of the crew still take time with the customers, even with the lines wrapped around the corner you get service with a smile.

My son took us here while in Charlotte today. There was about a 20min wait to get to the ordering window. Of this food truck. I could see there were only 2 people working all the orders, and it was a beautiful day, so we didn't mind. Once we reached the window the guy asked if we could give them 5 min to help knock some of their orders down before taking ours, we said sure. (That was really like a tease because by this time I could smell the deliciousness and my stomach was growling! LOL!) Once my son ordered his food and I ordered ours, we were each given a pager to notify us when the food was ready. Most people were waiting in their cars. Once the food was ready (about 15min), the pager went off and we picked up the food at the second window. By that time the line had almost tripled in length! That's a great sign of their reputation because they weren't in a common area to find. (And there were a lot of food trucks out in Charlotte today). I gave hubby his two beef quesabirria style tacos and I had one with the consommé dip along with my southwest chicken taco. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! They did forgot my onions and cilantro on my 1 beef taco, other than that it was scrumptious. The 4/5 stars is because they could not fulfill our original orders due to running out of chicken wings. My son and I were both going to order the wings and tacos (6 wings and 2 tacos); my son was also getting two orders of (8) wings. They could only fulfill 1 order of wings. That was disappointing. Maybe next time....

"Allegedly" a shrimp taco all I said was no onions and this is what it looked like

With all the hype, the Tacos weren't that great. The food truck came to my apartment complex. I ordered 2 Shrimp and one chicken taco. They were very salty and the broth was watered down. The presentation was awful. $23 including a juice for this nonsense. Highly disappointed and will never order from them again.

Her food is always good there is a little bit of wait but it's definitely worth it! This was my first time trying the wings and I was not disappointed at all. But the salmon tacos have been my favorite so far.

I visited Mariah's Taco Spot on 8/17/23 and was highly disappointed. Please note that this review has nothing to do with the food since I never got a chance to taste it. The review is solely based on the service experience. I placed my order around 5:30pm for 3 birria tacos. Placing the order was simple enough although I didn't like the fact that I couldn't see an estimated time of order completion prior to placing the order and submitting the payment. However I have ordered from Crav'n Caribbean on several occasions which is also located in City Kitch, and never had a bad experience so I had high expectations for this establishment as well. I was wrong! After placing the order I picked my two year old up from daycare and navigated over to Thrift Road in traffic. While in route I received a text message stating that my order would be ready for pickup at 5:40pm. This was great because my order would definitely be ready upon arrival after driving in traffic. I arrived at 6:09pm with my toddler in tow, scanned the QR code to alert Mariah's Tacos that I had arrived, and waited a few minutes for someone to appear at the pickup window. My kid is getting a little fussy, but again, I'm thinking that we'll be in and out in no time. After a few minutes someone arrives at the window and I give him my name. At this time he informs me know that my order isn't ready. I tell him that I received a text message that it was. He says that their working on my order. Now I'm pissed. While I understand that things happen, I should have received an updated text message with a new time. What's up with the text message system and overall communication? Had I known in advance I could have arrived prepared to wait. We could have been chilling in the car with his snacks and tablet while waiting or I could have brought those items in. I wasn't able to get a parking spot near the entrance so I already had to walk in the heat carrying him. And the thought of going back and forth to my car in the heat due to the lack of communication didn't sit well with me. Then telling me that you're working on it...what does that mean?!?! Are you bagging my order? Or am I in a queue waiting for my order to be prepared behind others? At this point my toddler is antsy and I'm just completely aggravated. I decided to leave because I didn't know exactly what time my order would be ready. Maybe they started preparing my order after I scanned the QR code to alert them of my arrival. If that's the case, then there should be a pop up on the website to state that prior to submitting payment. These are details that customers should be made aware of upfront. I expect better regardless of the fact that it's a ghost kitchen. One things for sure...I won't be back. And if you decide to try it for yourself, plan accordingly and be prepared to wait indefinitely.

(I later learned they are family owned- a Cali Mex restaurant not affiliated with the chain.) It was practically empty at 5p on a Friday with just me and 6-7 others in the entire restaurant and it was loud. The music was blaring and the TVs (though quieter than the music) was turned up so it made for a bunch of jumbled sounds. I sat at the bar and ordered a margarita ($13 for the little cup is ridiculously overpriced. There's nothing special about it) and a water. I was told I would have to self serve for water (I understand if you're a walk up customer standing around the bar but as a seated guest that is wild.) For food I ordered three street tacos with steak. The menus themselves are terrible. The writing is tiny so if you have poor vision you're out of luck unless someone can read it for you. No QR menus are available to zoom in either. The tacos were good and I have no complaint there. The flavors were solid and everything came out quickly. The staff overall was very friendly and attentive. At one point they wiped the bar down (and I appreciate that and attention to cleanliness) but the fumes disrupted the experience while I was eating. Giving this 4 stars because I do like supporting family owned and small businesses but the overall experience was not what I anticipated.

We were seated pretty quickly on the patio. It was a nice breezy evening perfect for alfresco dining. Initially our service was fast. Our server came over. Took care of our water brought our additional drink orders and then took our order for food, but then it took a while. Eventually we did get it and I was surprised how well I liked the refried black beans and their rice I opted for their Birria tacos and they were very flavorful and the consommé was delicious. My husband opted for the fish tacos and well he had to fish for the fish in the fish tacos. It was very little and that was very disappointing. I asked him if he would return and he said he would, but he would either not get the fish tacos because they don't have near enough fish to be called a fish taco or he would ask that they put an adequate amount of fish in the taco. It was more slaw and cilantro than fish. But he did agree that the refried black beans were extremely delicious and the rice was very flavorful as well. We both like their chips, which are served with their house salsa. I was not a fan of the salsa. I like mine with a little bit more sweet nod, but my husband did enjoy the salsa. Overall, it was a good first time experience and I usually give a restaurant 2 to 3 tries before I figure if they're just not for me so we'll definitely come back again

(Sat night, DT Charlotte NC?) the service was nice though, and the food was good, nothing revolutionary or unique, but solid American Mexican chain vibes. Maybe come for happy hour?

I originally was going to place the order online, but they're online option said it was unavailable so I went inside and sat down at the bar. The service was OK though it seemed most people did not speak English, which is fine. It just made it kind of harder to communicate. That said the food was decent but the reason why I gave two stars was because I feel very misled on pricing. The menu showed Que Siberia tacos three for $12. Steak/Asada tacos for three dollars which brings my total to 15+ the two drinks. I thought she said it was $20.80 so I paid it with my card and gave her five dollars cash for a tip. I get to the car just to double check the transaction and she charged me 3499 on my card and took the cash. I went back inside to confront her about this advising. She completely overcharged me, and she only offered to give my six dollars tip back to me. I am now going to dispute the transaction with my bank because I was unable to resolve this issue. That's sad.
