We were trying to decide what to eat one day for lunch and this place popped up! It's a little hole in the wall on the border of Downey and bellflower.. They have awesome lunch specials! My only complaint is that their service is a little slow, friendly, but slow, so do not come eat here if you are in a hurry! I had the chile rojo lunch plate, it was the perfect size and soo good! We will definitely be back! read more

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

Love this place. Inside, it's quite a small building with about 5 booths and a bar. What keeps me coming back and ordering to go is the consistency and quality of the food I receive. The food is an easy 100/10, the nachos, carne asada fries, and the burritos mojados are what keep me coming back always. The service is pretty hospitable as well. They do a good job of making you feel like part of the community they've created within the bar section. I always see returning faces read more

The restaurant is small and a little difficult to get into if you are traveling south on Woodruff, you have to turn left into foster and make another quick left to get into a narrow alley to get here. Not a problem if you are going north on Woodruff. You're here, the good news is they have all sorts of specials lunch specials, happy hour, taco Tuesday. The food is excellent the green salsa is so addicting, you want to put it on everything, or drink it up if you had any left over. Just come and try them out. The service is attentive and friendly too. 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

Great place, food is excellent. Nice Mom & Pop place for Mexican food. Ppl are very friendly

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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
