Laid back neighborhood Mexican food. The food was really good. We had a bit of everything and the queso. The people that work here are very nice. The restaurant was clean. The food was out quickly. The grilled shrimp were my favorite part.

Older restaurant with limited parking. Restaurant is clean and in good order, as are the restrooms. Wide selection of entrees at reasonable prices. Wait staff was attentive and polite. This is one of those hidden gems of small family Mexican restaurants that put the high priced chains to shame. Very highly recommend.

Amazing food,people & service. Ordered Tejas Chimichanga which had chicken and beef. Beef was so tender and delicious. For desert, had Flan 🍮, perfect texture and taste. Complimentary Chips and salsa was so authentic. A Perfect dinner 😋

My first time here and the food and service was amazing. I had the beef fajitas and YUM. beef was well seasoned and the guacamole was some of the best i’ve had. our waitress was very helpful and patient.

I tried Maria’s for lunch to switch things up and really enjoyed it. The food was good and flavorful, and the pricing was reasonable. I did a to-go order, and while they missed my chips, everything else was correct and well prepared. Overall, I’d recommend giving it a try.

The food was really good. The salsa could have been a little hotter (I like it hot). Tge service could have been better. Waitress took the order, brought the food. Didn't ask if I needed a refill on my water and didn't bring me a napkin after asking for one.

Surprising little Mexican spot! Queso and beans could use a little more flavor but everything else was delicious! The zucchini and beef had wonderful flavor. Jamaica was fantastic. I'll be back!

We had the sour cream enchiladas with chicken and the carne a la tampiquena. We also ordered a bowl of queso to go with the chips and salsa you get. The queso seemed like it was just bagged or canned Rico's. Not bad but with a decent home recipe you could really wow some people. The enchiladas were great you can't really go wrong with that choice. The filet mignon honestly is just skirt steak in my opinion, but it is honestly kind of what i expected for the price of the plate lol. Either way it was seasoned and cooked nicely and had a whole lot of flavor so it was still a great meal. The server was very nice and attentive and definitely helped the good vibe of our meal continue till we left.

Definitely Tex- mex but food is not delicious nor has good taste to it. I have been to a lot of restaurants especially true Mexicans since I’m Hispanic and this was by far is one of the worst I have stop. The only good thing there was the tostadas and salsa that they give to you while you wait for your food. But other than that I do not recommend it. I’m not sure why a lot of people say is good which makes me think that they have never ate a true Mexico dish. For reference my family of 6 spend around 100.00 Kids nachos - horrible they were dry and just ugly Flautas- sour cream should be prepared so it’s not too thick and guacamole also was way to thick and serve in a little tiny cup? It should be in top of the flautas and serve a decent amount for the serving. Shrimp plate- just horrible saggy and overcooked

We were rushed to order, our waitress was inattentive and had to flagged down and reminded to bring stuff. I’m Chicana and eat Tex-Mex at a few restaurants and this will NEVER be one I would recommend or go to in the future. A big disappointment and served horrible Mexican Rice and refried beans had some weird seasoning, and the chicken fajita meat ordered for my granddaughter was cooked to crispiness.

Really poor service and bland food. I saw 2 people at table next to me walk out because their order was incorrect and no one was taking care of them to fix it. They ordered a #1 and a #3. I remember it clearly but somehow only one plate came out and wife's plate was getting cold for 15 minutes while man was sitting with nothing. Not a good date night for them. The greeter at the door doesn't welcome and acts annoyed that you walk in. As I am writing this my waitress rushed up and told me that she gave me the wrong check... just don't bother coming here. If the food was good... but it is super bland... so, thumbs way down on this cafe. Photo is of my empty glass of tea waiting for someone to refill it... so... if you are tired of living and want to die of thirst... this is an option.

I am very sad to say, but my family got very sick after eating here. My 8 yo daughter vomited and my wife and I had diarrhea, no appetite, and tremendous weakness the day after. It did not taste bad as we were eating but we definitely had some sort of food poisoning with bacterial toxins. We came near closing but did not expect to eat toxins. We ordered crispy tacos, sour cream chicken enchiladas, cocktail shrimp, rice and beans. We are new to DFW and were just trying out a new local restaurant to try and support.

If there was a contest for the most disappointing Mexican food in town, this place would take first prize without even trying. The queso came out as one solid block of yellow, with zero seasoning, and possibly no jalapeños at all. Honestly, a jar of Tostitos queso from Walmart would have put it to shame. I ordered the chimichanga with fajita beef—big mistake. It looked sad and tasted worse, like the cow had given up halfway through life. My date’s enchiladas weren’t any better—the chicken was somehow bone-dry, despite being drowned in sour cream sauce. The refried beans were pale and looked like they’d been cooked by someone who’s never seen a bean before. The cheese enchilada tasted like someone hacked off a slice from a block of government cheese and hoped the oven would finish the job. Spoiler: it didn’t. The service matched the food—mediocre at best. I had to ask several times for water, even while the server made eye contact with me, like we were in a silent stand-off. Save yourself the trouble (and the stomachache).

We went to this restaurant for a family dinner hoping to enjoy a nice meal together. We ordered three dishes: a cheese enchilada, a vegetarian entree, and a chicken dish for my cousin. When the food arrived at our table, we were shocked and disgusted to see that all three dishes—including the cheese enchilada, which should have been completely meatless—had beef mixed into them. This wasn’t a small trace or a tiny mistake; there were clear pieces of beef in dishes that were supposed to be vegetarian. We immediately called over our server and asked to speak with the manager because something was seriously wrong. When the manager came to our table, he told us they cook everything on the same grill without cleaning it between orders. Even worse, he openly admitted that if they’re busy, they don’t bother cleaning the grill at all. He actually said, “We don’t clean our grill if we’re busy and don’t care about the customer,” which was shocking and honestly unbelievable to hear directly from someone in charge. This experience showed a complete lack of care and respect for customers who are vegetarian, vegan, or have religious or cultural reasons for avoiding certain meats. It’s not just disrespectful—it’s also dangerous. Cross-contamination like this can cause severe or even life-threatening reactions for people with food allergies. Anyone who thinks they’re ordering a vegetarian meal could unknowingly end up eating beef, which could lead to serious health problems or go against their dietary restrictions and personal beliefs. What’s even more concerning is that when we questioned how they could be allowed to operate like this, the manager told us they had passed health inspections. I honestly don’t know how that’s possible if they admit to not cleaning or sanitizing their grill between cooking beef, chicken, and vegetarian food. It’s extremely unsettling to think other customers could be eating food contaminated with ingredients they didn’t order or can’t safely consume. Restaurants have a responsibility to keep customers safe and respect their choices, whether they’re made for health, religious, or ethical reasons. This restaurant clearly doesn’t take that responsibility seriously. Based on what we experienced and what the manager openly admitted, I don’t see how anyone with dietary restrictions, food allergies, or even basic expectations of clean cooking practices could feel comfortable eating here. I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant to anyone—especially vegetarians, vegans, people with food allergies, or anyone who simply wants to know and trust what they’re eating. Our experience showed they don’t take even the most basic precautions to keep different foods separate or safe, and they clearly don’t value the health or well-being of their customers. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision and that it pushes the restaurant to completely rethink and improve how they prepare food before someone gets seriously hurt.
