Maria's Taqueria

Best Agua Frescas around! Tacos are great. And, if Strawberry Tres Leches is on the dessert menu for the day, don't pass on it! So good.

Wow , what a little family owned gem this place is. I had to go to Winnsboro (30 mile drive) to pick up an ATV and had my wife with me and she wanted to have lunch while we were in town. She found this little restaurant in downtown and it had the highest rated reviews so that’s where we went. To start off the restaurant was very clean (wife loved the atmosphere and said it’s cute) and the waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. The chips came out hot and they were fresh. The hot sauce was homemade and fresh. Luckily it was mild so my wife could eat it and we liked it. My wife ordered the Burria egg rolls and I got the California burrito. It took a little longer than expected but when the food came out we knew why. The egg rolls were stuffed with perfectly flavored Burria and cheese. The burrito is literally the best I’ve ever had at any restaurant. The food looked amazing and was hot and smelled wonderful. Everything was prepared fresh and to order. I loved that nothing was just sitting and kept warm , it was freshly prepared when we ordered. The Burria dipping juice was really good and the fresh green and red sauces that came out with the food were so good and you could tell freshly made. Both food items were amazing , we couldn’t believe how good the food was. We were raving about the food while we were eating. These 2 items I highly recommend trying. Also the Agua frescas were so good. Wife got the passion fruit/ orange flavor and it was good. This is the best food of any kind I’ve had in years. Even though it’s a long drive we are going there from now on to try other items on the menu. And definitely get the tres leches in a cup chocolate cake was so good. We were eating it on the way home and wished we had gotten 2. I have only posted 2 or 3 reviews ever online , but this restaurant is worth the drive and worth telling people about. I am not afraid to drive a long distance for really high quality great tasting food.

What a quaint and authentic place tucked away in downtown Winnsboro, TX. Everything was fresh and flavorful with incredible service. Their Aguas Frescas are a must-have!

We really liked the Quesabirria tacos and Flaitas were very good. The service was great. Chips were crisp and fresh. Chip salsa was good but I would've loved some smoked peppers in it. The beans really needed some more flavor... Garlic, onion, jalepeno, salt, bacon or chorizo....) We will definitely be back! Loved the Watermelon lemonade!

We were told by a friend we needed to try Maria’s Taqueria. After attempting to eat at Haven’s cafe, where we were basically ignored, we went around the corner to Maria’s. Upon entering the taqueria, the place is clean, staff very friendly and the food smells amazing. We were seated and promptly able to place an order. 5 mins later we had a burrito, 2 tacos and chips and salsa on our table. The food is amazing! I will be telling everyone about Maria’s Taqueria. The only thing I would change is that we visited sooner.

Food was excellent, everyone was kind and friendly and it was a small but very cute place! Would definitely recommend!

Best TexMex taqueria breakfast I've had in a long time.. I typically don't get the "breakfast burrito" but this one is huge and extremely edible .lol Great quality, fresh, on point.. Chicken too but especially the pork tamales A+ I got a dozen to go.. $20 That's worth every penny if I compare the quality to most of the tamales I've had in the last many years..

Some of the best tacos I've tried in North Texas, ya'll ! Barbacoa and the salsas are on point 🔥

This place is so good! Great atmosphere and customer service. Family owned and clean.

If you’re looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience, this Mexican gem is the place to go! Everything about this spot was amazing. The decor was bright, vibrant, and bursting with character—it immediately set the tone for a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The plates themselves were works of art, with beautiful, authentic designs that added to the experience. As for the food—wow! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The tamales, in particular, were a standout. They were not only packed with incredible flavor but also impressively huge! Every bite felt like a taste of home-cooked perfection. This is the kind of spot where you feel the love and care in every detail. I can’t recommend it enough—definitely a must-visit!

The food is so good each time we've had it! We come from El Paso and this is as close as we've gotten to the taste of home.

I just happened to stumble upon this restaurant and I'm so happy I gave them a try. I had the birria torta with rice and beans, my fiance had the Al Pastor Tacos, and we also got two chicken tamales. Everything was excellent. The best birria I've had. The tamales had the perfect amounts of masa and meat. We also paid to have chips, salsa, and queso. Chips were hot and fresh, salsa was mild, but wonderful. Queso was delicious! Loved that you could taste the poblanos. I fell in love with the rice, sooo flavorful. The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of were the refried beans. They were a bit too thick for my liking and had a flavor I wasn't sure about.. but above all everything hit the spot.

Loved the Birria egg rolls. Maria is so sweet. They were very attentive. Repeat customer!

Maria’s Taqueria is hands down the best restaurant in Winnsboro! The food is consistently incredible, and their weekly specials are both inventive and delicious. I never miss the chance to grab an agua fresca with my order.

We love this small family Mexican restaurant, everything is fresh and made to order. Great daily specials and the bierra dishes are amazing! Always ask for the green sauce 😊

We were headed to Broken Bow from Tyler and found this perfect little place for lunch! I ordered the birria grilled cheese and my husband got the birria torta and they were both incredible! The chips and salsa were also delicious and we didn't order any but their agua de sandia is something I would definitely order next time. The girl who served us was super sweet and attentive. There isn't a lot of indoor seating but the outside tables all had umbrellas and it was the perfect day for an outside lunch anyways! We will gladly stop here any time we are in the area :)

We love Maria’s! It’s one of our most favorite places to eat and look forward to the delicious and tasty food! The flavors are amazing!

Four of us went for lunch and all were delighted with authentic, flavorful salsa and foods: chicken flautas, bjrria tacos, birria burrito (excellent), and chicken fajita quesadilla. The woman behind the magic, whose restaurant it is, came out of the kitchen to see if we needed or wanted anything. Hats off! Great service, also. Small parties recommended.

The best Mexican food in Winnsboro, and the best quesadilla I think I've ever had. Churros are great and the staff is super friendly.

Decided to go after the good reviews, very disappointed with service and food quality, ordered five different meats and couldn’t tell the difference. All tasted the same. When we asked waitress for help she seemed bothered, we understand it was busy but don’t make it so obvious. Needless to say we will not be going back. Adios
