    Kids' menu chicken tenders and fries
    Lola M.

    While visiting from Las Vegas, we decided to sample Maria's Mexican Restaurant and I am so very glad we did!! The restaurant is a "mom and pop" place in a strip mall...but the food is IMPECCABLE. The gracious hostess seated us and we were addressed and our orders taken within minutes. The menu selections are plentiful and EVERYTHING is homemade: tortillas, salsa, sauces---every bite I tasted was better than the last. I felt welcomed and comfortable and they even let my octogenarian mother order the kids' menu chicken tenders.... The restaurant has a festive ambiance and it was very clean and tidy. I highly recommend this establishment if you're looking for delicious, filling food.

    We came here about 4:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. It was not very busy and they have about 15 tables inside. We were greeted by two young ladies who brought us menus, waters and chips and salsa. We each looked through the menu and my wife decided to order the chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas. I ordered the burrito. We both really enjoyed the salsa and warm chips while our orders were being prepared. Our orders arrived and looked yummy! My wife really enjoyed the fajitas and my burrito was just okay. Overall it was a good experience.

    We timed our meals wrong today and needed a quick go to for late lunch in north Carson. I remembered my friend Mike recently wrote a nice Yelp review for Las Maria's. So off we went! I am lousy with introductions and socializing in general. I blame it on the fact that I was a detective back east for years, which can be a very anti-social existence. Today, I believe we met Maria, a very head strong, straight forward woman. Turns out she's also a very friendly host. We ate for 15-20 minutes and chatted for 45. Of the many things I learned, Maria can sing and dj, plus, they have karaoke every Friday. All the food here is authentic, hand prepared. Safe to say, we made each other's day. Being not terribly creative, my wife and I ordered #7's. That's two enchiladas (with chicken), beans and rice. The food was terrific. The iced tea even better. The conversation, the best. Thanks Mike and Yelp. The more places we learn about and familiarize ourselves with, the better. We now have a definite go to diner in this area and a new friend, to boot! 10/21

    Chimichanga

    Was in the town with the family when we came across Maria's Mexican Restaurant since it was close and open. Thank god we came because we were very hungry and the food was authentic and delicious!! Also loved the vibe of the place and the Day of the Dead Sugar Skull decorations they had hanging up. I went ahead and ordered the Carnitas Chimichanga with a Cazuela and a Molcajete. Beyond my tastebud expectations. The Cazuela was made to perfection with the right amount of mixture with alcohol and my chimichanga had me doing the happy dance in my chair from how good it was. Definitely a hidden gem of a restaurant here in Carson City. One bad thing I would say is the service did take quite a while but other than that. Very, very good! Thank you!

    I had some other business in this strip mall shopping center at Winnie and Carson street and it was a little early for lunch, but I thought I'd try this little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. It's so "hole in the wall" that having lived here in Carson for years, I've never really noticed it, and it's been here for a long time. Entering I could tell this place had an authentic feel, not like some chain place or Chipotle. Empty when I arrived before normal lunch hours, but I was seated promptly and brought comp chips and salsa. I saw they have lunch specials and the price seemed right for these days with most items priced at $9.99. I decided on the Chimichanga which I haven't had in years. Mostly these days I've been having hand held burritos, so this was a change up. The rest of the menu was quite diverse with many items not offered at most Mexican restaurants. I'll have to come back and try other stuff on the menu later. The Chimichanga arrives, cut in two garnished with lettuce. The flour tortilla was deep fried crispy and the al pastor pork filling with rice and beans was quite tasty and had a very Mexican flavor, as opposed to some more Americanized places I've been. The al pastor was on the spicy side, but good. It's a pretty huge portion, so I took home half, but if you're a big eater, you might finish it all. One thing to know, is a 15% service charge (tip) is included in the bill. If you want to leave more, you can , just be aware 15% is already included. I leave more usually. I'll come back here with friends for sure!

    Bright cute place .. picking up for work lunch .. I'm excited !! First time here

    I want to update this review, this store is honestly 9/10 on everything including pricing…read more Previously I was upset because I kept buying a particular disposable vape product, and found that when I got home the product in the box was a "lesser" version of what I had payed money for. This happened however only a small handful of times, but prompted me to leave a nasty review in response. I would like to update this now however. If I'm being honest the issue with the vape was the only one I had. Even though this happened a few times within a short period of time (probably within about 6 months time period), I am reflecting now on my overall service, and the kindness that the owners I met a few times showed to me. In retrospect, this place deserves at least 4 to 4.5 stars. I also need to admit that I should have taken the product out of the box before leaving the store. If I had done this, I feel like my bad review could have been avoided entirely. You live and learn I guess, but please give this store a chance. They have amazing pricing versus the chevron across the street, and the owners are honestly really down to earth people- full of kindness the few times I was able to meet them here.

    I have been going here for the past five years, I only have one complaint the milk is always…read moreexpired not just 1 or 2 but all of it some as old as a month and the bread is old, hard on the bottom soggy on the top.
