    The meat was so flavorful! This was the combination plate. I was pleased with everything on it.

    My husband gives it a 4.5 star and I gave it 3.5 star so we went with 4 stars. The atmosphere was great. The booth the sat us in was spacious and it didn't feel crowded like some restaurants feel. It was full of people and yet our waitress was attentive and fast. All the people serving were hustling. It was great service from the beginning to the end.

    Fajitas

    Last time I came to Maria's was right after they opened back up from the virus. I wasn't to happy at that time, but yes they have officially restored my faith in them! Took a friend there for a birthday and yummy that was some good food, im here to tell you!! Stop in there and enjoy lunch or a nice dinner and wow they have changed the place up, it looks super nice now, so a good spot to take someone out to a nice dinner!! Try out the fajitas they are my favorite!! Enjoy!!!

    Benton County must be the capital (or at least one of the capitals) of Mexican food. It's not just that there are a lot of them, it's that most of them are really quite good. Maria's is one of the better ones. Located on Walnut Street, a couple of blocks down from the Wal-Mart, there is plenty of parking. Large dining room with mostly four-top tables and they don't mind pushing a couple of them together for larger parties. Lunch specials range from $5 to $8 and include the usual variety of tortillas (corn or flour), meat (chicken, beef, carnitas) or spinach, and cheese with some sort of sauce on top plus rice and beans. It's hard to go wrong.

    Camarones Ala Diabla
    Isabel L.

    So I am From Emporia Kansas And My family And I decided to eat at a mexican restaurant today since we came here for a little vacation at beaver lake so they choose Maria's September 9 2019 at 11:00 am. They sat us right away and the server came and asked for what we wanted to drink and she took probably like 5-10 min to bring the drinks and she took our order right away, we asked for guacamole and cheese dip, she made the guacamole in front of us that was awesome, and the cheese dip was amazing. I ordered camarones ala diabla and they were alright they were a little salty, my sister ordered a burrito and she said she loved it but it was hard to eat because the tortilla was hard and cold. But the waitress was so nice no complaints about her. We would definitely go back next year!

    Staff is friendly and welcoming. Interestingly, they were…read moreplaying Cuban jazz and salsa--pleasant, but I found myself wishing for something like Selena y Los Dinos or Emmanuel Cortes to better match the vibe. The agave spirits selection is underwhelming, though that may be influenced by visiting the day after "Gringo de Mayo." The chips are comparable to standard "restaurant-style" options you'd find at a grocery store. The quesadilla is a bit unusual--there's no integrated mix of cheese and protein. Instead, the components are kept separate, which explains why the menu describes it as "baked." I initially thought that was odd, but it makes more sense now. The ranchero beans are overly salted, with little depth beyond that. While there appear to be other seasonings, they don't come through. The rice is plain and unremarkable.

    We were in town for a meeting at the largest employer in NW Arkansas, I'm sure you can guess who…read morethat is. When we arrived at the hotel late, we wanted to grab a quick dinner and I had eaten at an Abuelo's in Orlando many times. Felt like that was a solid choice for us since we knew it was not a gamble. Rick was our server and he was helpful and friendly. He brought out their trio of salsas with hot tortilla chips that felt like they were made minutes before. Not sure if they are, but they did taste fantastic! I love their queso here, and they had a Diablo one that I hadn't had before but we decided to get the dip trio- queso, Diablo queso, and guacamole. What an epic decision! They came with more tortilla chips but also chicharrones which was sturdier and could hold up to the thicker Diablo queso and guacamole. I couldn't stop eating the salsa and dips. I chose to get a combination plate, with an enchilada, taco, and tamale. Rick mentioned they had a mashed potato side that was tasty- not expected for a Mexican restaurant but I decided to take the recommendation. Rick came through, honestly I could've eaten just the dips and potatoes and had been super happy about it. I overate, which was a problem but in a good way because I fell asleep immediately after we got back to the hotel. We were doing a crazy travel week where we were in 5 states, two countries for meetings, so not a lot of rest. It's part of a chain but this one was clean, friendly, with great execution on the food. Rick was clutch with more salsa and chips which in the end was my undoing but I didn't care. Visit here and make sure you try their dips, and the mashed potato side which may have been one of the best things I had all week. Dead serious! The next time I go I'm going to ask for no rice and beans and just get these crazy mashed potatoes. Thank you Rick and Abuelo's for reminding me that every now and then, going to eat at a chain spot is still a good thing.
