Went on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, looking for Menudo and Caldo de Rez. The place was full and lively. However, our food was to go. We are at home, and it was DELICIOUS. Both soups were full of flavor and ingredients. They included three types of salsas and each were different and levels of heat and smoke. Came with a whole lime, and one and a half whole RIPE avocados. Plus, delicious house made tortillas! Literally everything was excellent and we're so glad we decided to drive out to pick this up. Saw people eating chilaquilles with eggs and that looks delicious. I'll try when I come back.

Restaurante Maria was one of those places you pass by and do not really think much of it. But, this changed once my mother told me to check it out. I was blown away by the authenticity of their meals and ambiance. It takes a lot for my mom to like Mexican food because it is something we have every day in my home, but it is different here because you can tell this food is made with plenty of amor. The place itself has its own identity inside. It feels like home. People were laughing and enjoying themselves. The plates they use reminded me of the ones my late Aunts used to have. A lot of comfort food favorites at this place. Some of their foods brought me back memories of meals I had with my late Father. Yeah, like that. The price is reasonable, especially with the current financial climate. It is always busy, but the service is always excellent. I had the tremendous fortune of being there when live music was being played. It has everything. I highly recommend this hidden gem.
