We stumbled about this place on yelp last year and it has become our favorite restaurant!!! We hardly miss a weekend coming here and we always come Saturday or Sunday morning. Their food is amazing. Their michis are fire!! We easily have 10 plates that we love here from their menudo, chilaquiles, wet burrito even their ceviche is amazing!! And the staff is always so so friendly and kind. We honestly and genuinely love it here read more

It's a hole in the wall, with delicious authentic Mexican food!!!! Great service too. Patronized by sports fans - can become a little overwhelming due to the space and noise. Nonetheless, the food will keep u coming back. read more

The molcajete is my fav from all the ones I've ever tried specifically because of their salsa. The flavor is soo good It's family owned and ran so service is always on point no matter who's working or how packed it is. I've also liked all the other plates I've had. Queso fundido, chile colorado burrito, tacos ($1.59 on Tuesdays) & Chile relleno. I recommend all of those read more

Have loved this place for years. Always order the Wet Burrito with shredded chicken. Not sure what that green sauce is called but it's so unique, there is nothing like it anywhere. Almost like soup with roasted chilis and bits of pork. Anyone know what it's called? Also, the chips and salsa are amazing and the staff is so friendly. Highly recommend this great little jewel! read more

I ordered the chicken fajitas. I liked the homemade tortillas, the serving of chicken was a little light on the chicken, heavy on bell peppers and onions. My friend ordered a cheese enchilada with beans and rice. Chips and salsa were good. Small restaurant with tight seating in the booths. A small bar seating area where the folks drinking were pretty noisy. It was ok. I would give it 3 1/2 stars read more

Maria's Bar and Grill - Marias Grill Famous Molcajete - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

This place is a hole in the wall with a small bar and a few booths. I missed it as I was trying to navigate to it with Google. It doesn't have a super clear sign but it's worth going. My dad and I came here after seeing that our normal place was packed. So worth it! The salsa was amazing. They give you homemade tortilla chips with that salsa and it's bomb! We ordered the molecaje and queso fundido. Also amazing. They had the dodger game on and it was a bit noisy but overall a fun time with great food. I can't wait to go back! read more

Been going her for years..the food and service is great..I usually go for breakfast and lunch.

Food was delicious. I got the chilaquiles with steak and definitely had great flavor. I also really loved the salsa! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Small place but great service and good food! Can't go wrong here. A must visit! read more

One of my all-time favorite breakfast burritos ever! Ask them to make it spicy. So good that you start eating it slower to make it last longer. All the food is great here. Try the wet burritos. I suggest you eat it there. They serve it to you on piping-hot plate. read more

Not my first time here but definitely my first time sober here trying the food I want to acknowledge that the waitress/cashier/hostess was very kind friendly definitely gave you that welcoming feeling I ordered the carne asada plate that was truly delicious as seen in the picture the plate was very fulfilling, I'd definitely like to explore more of there menu when next visiting.

Our places to sit and relax, enjoy the sport games on TV, social with the locals and enjoy their food! Everything on the menu is absolutely the best! 3-4 times a week! My husband and I feel like family there read more

They're wet burritos are very tasty. The sauce used for them is not that rich, more on the soup side, but delicious. Lots of melted Monterey Jack cheese on top. Chips are very tasty, especially the salsa, nice and roasted. One bad thing though, when you ask for extra salsa, they will not bring it to you, you need to repeatedly ask for it. Don't know why. One last thing, be prepared for loud noise when there is a game going on! read more

Maria's Bar and Grill - 3 Taquitos Plate - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Flautas! The best! They kept my friend and I well fed during the early days of the Pandemic. So we actually haven't been there yet lol...

Best Mexican food in the area! Can't go wrong with the Molcajete or hard shell chicken tacos.

This has been a real unfortunate order from yelp for delivery service from this restaurant. Not only they (restaurant) did just one shrimp taco from the 3 that I ordered (heavenly with veggies with 2 shrimps only)Disgusting and poorly amount on food on the tampiqueña, the shrimp tostada just looks like cocktail drained in a container. Sorry I had to do this review Usually i just ignore and never order. But this was just ridiculous that I had to leave this review. Hope it helps to improves, but I guess it's just everyone's intake on what is consider good food and service. read more

Too rowdy not family friendly there are I assume regulars who get drunk and consistently curse at everything not at all kid or family friendly. Food isn't all that either. It's negative environment. read more

BOMB. Best Chili Verde sauce I have EVER had! Delish doesn't even begin to describe it!!!

Awesome food and awesome people to hang with if you don't come you missing out on an sweet experience

Third time coming to this place and it's never failed me! The asada fries are AMAZING and the asada has such a great taste and it's not over cooked like some places. Big plus! It's a pretty small place but they are very hospitable and the service has always been great! Prices are very cheap and sizes are pretty decent. This place has it all! Definitely plan on returning (: read more

The food is always FABULOUS. My family and I all agree that it is as close as we can get to homemade food and the service is always GREAT. On occasion, we frequent this restaurant a few times a week, but definitely a few times a month! Highly recommend the wet burritos, chiles rellenos, fajitas, well basically everything but those are a few of my personal favorites! read more
