Very good food! We are from Texas visiting Custer and decided to try Maria's. Excellent service and the food was great!

Service was friendly, helpful and timely. Food was okay, but not anything to get excited about. No alcohol is served here which would be fine if the food was better. Prices were more reasonable than some of the other local options. read more

My husband picked up takeout for us to enjoy back at our hotel room. Unfortunately, the meal was underwhelming. While the portions were decent, several of the items arrived soggy and lacked flavor. Overall, the food was just average, and it didn't leave us eager to return. read more

The food was good, but the service was slow. We sat for 20 minutes before our appetizer and drinks arrived. The guacamole was great! The green enchiladas were cheesy and yummy too. My husband liked his Relleno, but it was very small. My enchilada plate was hearty, so I shared with him. No Margaritas, this place doesn't serve alcohol! The table featured ketchup and mustard--no picante sauce! We are visiting from California so we are used to having various salsas available. read more

The steak burritos with red sauce are awesome and the service is exceptional. Get the large for sure.

We are road tripping for a few months and missed the back home Mexican food and decided to give Maria's a try. No disappointment here! The customer service is exceptional! In fact we were sitting outside because we had our senior pup adventuring with us. We got her a cup of water and the host came out with a bigger container for us to use. We were given chips/salsa/beans to enjoy while waiting for our meal. Hubby ordered street tacos and I got the chicken enchiladas. Both meals were great. The beans, rice and homemade tortillas were on point. Highly recommend. read more

Maria's Mexican - Food Trucks Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

Our server appeared to be very young and seemed unfamiliar with the menu, needing to check on nearly every item. Service was disorganized--we requested small plates for four people but initially received only one, then had to ask twice more to get enough. There were also several unexpected charges. A credit card convenience fee was added without disclosure, tortillas for fajitas cost $4.99 for three without being mentioned in advance, and a special order included an undisclosed upcharge. Additionally, an item was mistakenly placed on the wrong ticket and could not be corrected. The food value and quality are not worth the price and definitely not worth the hidden fees. While I felt sympathy for the server, who did not appear to receive support from the supervising adult, the overall experience was frustrating. We left feeling misled and would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Trucked over from Sioux Falls weaving thru the Bad Lands and dodging Buffalo along the way. Landed in Custer tired and hungry. Checked out a couple of restaurants on the main drag and decided on Maria's. Entered, greeted and seated immediately. Modest menu with the standard options. Chips, salsa and warm bean dip served as starters. Wifey ordered the chicken fajita burrito with cheese sauce. Huge serving arrived at the table. Contained rice, beans, veggies and chicken. Masterpiece dish. I ordered the taco salad and substituted chicken for beef and held the beans. Dish came to the table as two small taco bowels filled small amounts with lettuce, chicken, olives, jalapeño slices. Size of serving was disappointing but taste was very good. Surprisingly, additional sour cream and salsa did not accompany the dish. Service was adequate. Prices were fair. Would need to try a few more dishes before making a strong recommendation. read more

While our experience started a bit rough-a server told us to sit then no one came over for over 8 mins even though both waitresses made eye contact with us and preceded to help customers they sat after us. The young man that finally came over and took our drinks and order was a sweetheart and he made up for the initial issue of first sitting. Our food was delicious and surprisingly good! We are from Texas and we love Mexican food! And this didn't disappoint! It's a loud place but it gets the job done. I'd 100% come back! read more

Don't know what people are complaining about here. I'm from Southern California and a lot of this lives up to Mexican food there. While not as "fresh" obviously, the taste was great! First, the chips with salsa also came with refried beans. It tasted homemade Next we had the tamale platter, which was moist and perfectly seasoned. We tried beef and pork tamale with both the red and green sauce. Very good mild spiciness there We then tried the fajitas, which I ordered the bistec rancheros with the grilled shrimp skewers. This was amazing as the fajitas was on a sizzling plate and the beef was seasoned with tastiness - tomato's, peppers etc. there was a nice hint of spice plus tangy taste to the roasted salsa. Rather than dousing dishes with a bunch of cheese, the cheese was put on the side. The corn tortillas were also house made. Overall we were pleasantly surprised to find such good Mexican food here! read more

to put it lightly the food was horrid. My family went there and barely toutched it. When we got to our hotel i was so sick i couldn't barely walk up the stairs because i was so nauseous and i hardly ate anything. Never again. read more

Visited with a group of 11 friends and so glad we did. All fresh ingredients, which are appreciated on a 2 week vacation from home. Had their chips with their homemade guacamole and queso. For my meal, I had a stuffed chicken fajita burrito. All delicious! Comfortable, clean and cheerful ambience. Our waitress was attentive and personable. Spent 5 days in Custer and have eaten there twice. My husband has gone back for breakfast every morning and says it's just as good. Worth the stop! read more

There are not many options for vegetarians. I ordered nachos supreme, substitute beans instead of meat. They brought it to me with no beans. It also had a piece of meat in it. My husband ordered a bean and cheese chimichanga. He paid extra for white melted cheese which made it good. It had a stray zucchini in it. Our chips came with a free bonus French fry in it. It must be pretty wild back in the kitchen. They had two servers who were very busy and orders came slowly. You have to order rice and beans for an additional $4 for most dishes. Our boy waiter was pleasant and did his best to make our visit positive. Personally, I wouldn't care to return, but some might. read more

Excellent food and service! The upgraded interior is beautiful! Great prices for the amount of food you get. My two year old ate the beans like it was soup, he loved them! I had the Nachos Supreme and will be back again! read more

We had lunch at Maria's this afternoon after our visit to Crazy Horse. Because our dog was with us, we sat at the outside table (which was comfortably shady). The waitstaff immediately asked if she might bring water for Maggie, which she did. Then she brought our water and chips with salsa and a bean dip. The corn chips were light and tasty - a hint of salt and not at all greasy. I had fish tacos (lightly grilled tilapia; not breaded or fried) - delicious. Partner enjoyed his steak and onion tacos - commented that the steak was tender and had nice flavor. We enjoyed watching and visiting with passersby; waitperson was very attentive; food was definitely choices that we'd make again. We would encourage you to eat at Maria's. read more

Very good food! We are Texans and love a good food truck and Maria's did not disappoint.

The interior might not be that exciting but their guacamole is so fresh and chips are amazing. Some of the best tacos I've ever had and I eat tacos twice a week. (I had the shrimp tacos). I would definitely recommend this hidden gem when going to Custer. read more

Maria's Mexican - Carnitas tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

Stopped in because pretty much everything was closed. Best decision I've made in a long time. Maria couldn't have been nicer. Very friendly and service was quick. I had the pork burrito and it was hands down the best I've ever had. Everything about it was fresh and homemade taste. Wife had the tamales and eat every bite. That's her best compliment. The strawberry dessert that Maria brought out was the icing. We'll definitely be back and you should stop in and say Hi! read more

Maria's Mexican - a colorful food truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

The food was EXCELLENT!! We all ordered something different and we wete all very happy with our food. The service was great as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant. No liquor yet but I guess they are working on it. We will be back when we visit here again. read more

Delicious! Really great service, house made tortillas and freshness I've been missing.

Alright. Third visit has been completed. My initial review draft rated this place as a solid 2-3 stars. The second visit a solid 2, and my last visit a 1 star. This is officially some of the most flavorless and bland mexican food I have ever had. I recently had an extended hospital stay with the horrible hospital food, and my food at Maria's reminded me of what the hospital served if they served mexican food. I expressed my disappointment in Maria's to a friend who had told me to keep trying it, because it was "good". She said the tamales were "excellent", so try those. Alright. I ordered a dozen to go. Because I love me some tamales. Well. Umm. I do not love these. They are very VERY thick on the masa, and the little meat that exists is flavorless and tough. The bean dip is probably the best thing they have served us, and even that was on the bland side. The salsa is mostly pureed tomatoes. I gave it three tries. We won't be back. I would eat somewhere else in town if I were hungry. My service has always been good and the people friendly. However, I cannot give any more stars based on service alone. read more

We winter in Texas and was looking for Mexican food. This place was good! Waitress friendly

Not many options but as Mexican I can say that has good flavor, green aguacate salsa was fabulous

Decent Mexican with the barbacoa tacos, tamales, and quesadilla we tried. (Four kinds of salsa - mild, chipotle, guac salsa, and fire roasted) They've opened a brick and mortar restaurant at 607 Mt. Rushmore just steps away. Lower prices here at the truck, shorter menu, outdoor seating. Food will be served in styrofoam boxes with plasticware. read more

I went to the food truck about a month ago and it was phenomenal but the restaurant was TRASH. My friend and I sat for over 30 minutes to received our food and saw our waitress twice (once for the order and once for the payment and I had to yell for another waitress to start that process). The food came out COLD and gross. The service was ******* terrible. Everyone around us got 5 star service and got their food before us. If you can, avoid this restaurant. read more

Great Mexican! Convenient location with the food truck and the outdoor seating area! Lots of beverage options. Tamales were tasty as were the hard shell tacos read more

Decent mexican place with low prices. Friendly service and family friendly. We tried the pork tamales, fajitas, and kids quesadillas. Nothing really stood out but was serviceable and affordable. read more

Maria's Mexican - Six dollars for THIS? Come on don't be so cheap! - Food Trucks Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

I called ahead of time to ask if they have whole beans, rather than only refried beans. The nice girl with dark hair and the accent told me they did. I went there and ordered a plain bean and cheese burrito with whole beans and less cheese. I received my two burritos with refried beans and tons of cold, unmelted cheese - the exact opposite of what I ordered. I took them back to her, and she said that they do not have whole beans. I called to confirm before coming here and requested whole beans when I ordered! She did say she could give me more beans, which I didn't want because they weren't good and not what I ordered. I asked for a refund, but she said she could not because Maria was not there. Not a good customer service policy. I did end up taking the extra beans for my daughter, who decided to eat hers anyway. I did not eat my burrito. It was not good. read more

I flew in from California where we take our Mexican food very seriously so I was skeptical, and very pleasantly rewarded for taking a chance! Great chips, solid salsa, and an array of enchiladas that left a smile on my face. Not fancy, just good! read more

Staff were extremely friendly but food was mediocre. For the love of God, please offer guacamole and sour cream in a veggie burrito instead of zucchini. read more

When I saw a food truck with breakfast burritos around the corner from where I was staying I was happy. First morning I ordered the chorizo and the bacon for my family and I. They are very good and just what we needed to start our day. The young lady was very nice and the cook (who I didn't meet) gets a high five and fist bump. We are staying in Custer for 4 days and I'm sure I know what we are getting for breakfast for the rest of our stay. read more

Very happy to have eaten here. We tried the taco plates and really thought the steak, shredded beef, shrimp and chicken tacos were all delicious. The servers are very sweet and kind. Worth trying out. read more

So delicious! What a great find. Authentic, flavorful food. Friendly service. Shrimp tacos were outstanding. Love this place. Highly recommend! read more

I had high hopes that the breakfast was going to be delicious . And they hit it out of the park! The staff was very friendly and service was fast. If you like breakfast burritos then this is the place for you. read more

Our teenage boys were whining about how hungry they were (they always are) one day recently while I was out running errands and we saw Maria's had a drive-thru. I drive up expecting it to be fast food, but it wasn't. It was taking a while to complete our order, but then I saw the combo platters the boys got and man, was I jealous. The portions were large and it looked delicious. The boys confirmed my assessment as I drove them around, and said we should go there more often. As budding foodies, I would take their advice. read more

We had planned on going to a different restaurant, but they didn't have a table for our party of 6. So we walked to Maria's and it was the best decision! Absolutely amazing service and the food was wonderful!! Best Mexican food we have had in a long time!! read more
