Taqueria Maria and Ricardo

Fast delivery always! Food is delicious 😋! I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CHICKEN TAMALES😍😩😍!! You guys are the only Mexican restaurant I will order from! Nachos are yummy too!!!

I think their food is fantastic. Especially love the tacos al pastor and their pozole. Fast delivery and arrives fresh and hot.

Best tacos I've had around here. All of them are amazing but carnitas is my favorite. I also love their shrimp platter. Great value for the money and the shrimp are grilled perfectly. My toddler goes nuts for their rice and beans in a way reserved only for this place lol. My family's go-to when we want tacos.

This was my friend and I first time at this place. I tried 4 different tacos (Chicken, Pull Pork, Chorizo & Skirt Steak). My friend tried the Grilled Shrimp Wrap. Great flavors and very fulfilling. I enjoyed every taco and my friend enjoyed the wrap as well. The Chorizo & the Skirt Steak was favorite . I will definitely go back to try other things.

Wow! Ditmas Park is home to a large number of passable Mexican restaurants, but Maria and Ricardo's stands far above them all. When I first ordered from here I had the feeling that I had never had Mexican food before. The flavors we intense, unique and delicious. It's all great, but try the tacos. Superb.

I would have included a picture of my soft pork taco and guacamole, but I shoved it in my face too fast to be able to properly document it. Given the very limited seating, this place is definitely more of a delivery/grab and go type restaurant, but they make the best of the little space they do have. As a delivery option, I've always found them to be prompt, delivering exactly what I asked for well before the estimate. I'll be back again. And again . . . And again.

We ordered delivery the 1st time on 2/27. It surprised me how quickly our order came - I had beef enchiladas, my wife had enchiladas suizas, and our friend had fajitas. All was delicious and I can definitely recommend this taqueria!

This spot is really CLUTCH ! I have ordered here a couple of times but tonight I got the steak taco (soft shell) & chorizo taco (soft shell) ! Really good. The pull pork quesadilla is always good as well. I recommend for sure !

Delicious Mexican food. Burrito is very filling and tasty. Never disappointed. Even on take out. The restaurant itself is small, five tables or so. But staff is very friendly. Fish Tacos were very tasty as well! No complaints. One of our local favorites....

It was amazing. The employee helped me order and the final product is pictured below

Really excellent chorizo and shrimp tacos. The homemade ground beef empanadas are worth a stop alone. This is easily our go to spot for Mexican in the area. Grab a beer, sangria, tres leches, or horchata to really round out your meal.

Food is fresh and very filling. The tacos are stuffed fajitas are flavorful and chips and guacamole makes you want more. Little backyard eatery pretty comfy if you dont like eating in front of place. Highly recommended

This place….they just consistently kills it every single time I order. Cannot give it enough stars for the consistent quality of food. Everything is well seasoned and cooked to perfection, and fast. Pork Quesadillas and Birria taco are my favorites!!

Well today was my first time ordering from this location. Marcos is absolutely very nice. My food was absolutely delicious. I have no complaints and no problems. the amount of food that you pay for, I could feed everyone in my home. The tacos have a lot of meat and vegetables in it. Absolutely delicious. Thank you so much. God bless you and have a wonderful evening.

Absolutely delicious tacos and nachos with incredibly fast delivery!! Granted, I live nearby, but sometimes we will go from ordering to receiving our food delivered to us within 15 minutes! I highly recommend the chicken tacos and getting nachos with pulled pork and everything else on them!

Seriously, don't miss out on this place!! I've been eating here at least a couple times a week for over a year and it's absolutely fantastic. Currently addicted to their soft tacos. Food comes out fast and is consistently delicious. Delivery is quick too!

The one Mexican place in Kensington that knows how to make agua de jamaica just right: not too sweet, not too diluted, not too tart. Supreme hibiscus flavor. And yes, everything else on the menu is just as delicious.

It was great ! The guy was nice on the phone and they cooked the shrimp well done just how i like it 🤗🤗i will definitely order again and it was definitely the right amount of spice in the green sauce ! . I had the shrimp burrito bowl and veggie taco . And they give a great portion of guacamole on the taco .

Rarely would I take the time to write a review other than to steer people away from an establishment. But this place was to good not say something. From the gentleman taking my order, to the presentation of the food, to the incredible flavor of the food. 5 stars is not enough for this place. Incredible!

I like the tacos here. Had the fish and chicken taco. It’s a bit pricey but the size were big and filling. I was also tempted to get some house sangria, but I don’t want to get back to work lit.

Large menu, good selection, prices on par with other local places. Limited seating inside and outside, no beer. Not my favorite taco shop, but still a great place to grab some tacos to or from home.

It's a very small location but food is good. They are a bit pricey but depending on what you order, so worth the extra coins. Definitely worth giving it a try.

The food is decent. But the delivery is hit or miss. Sometimes I receive cold and soggy nachos. Tamales are good. The cheeseburgers are surprisingly good.

Nice little spot that is tight on space but big on taste. The guacamole and chips were good. The beef burrito 🤤🌯 was pretty good. Keep up the great work.

I ordered delivery from here twice and both times it was great. They deliver quickly and follow contactless directions. My pork taco and shredded beef tacos were amazing. The flavor in the meat is just perfect. Their tres leches is also delicious, cold and creamy! The chicken quesadilla was just OK, but still better than my own, especially dipped into the red and green salsa they give you. Definitely give them a try!

A little hole in the wall restaurant & I love those sometimes. Exceptional clean! The cashier wasn't very friendly. However, I enjoyed the food though. I'll gi back again maybe she was having a bad day.

Blandest mexican i've had in ages... the ingredients were good, the variety welcome, but nothing had any seasoning and the salsa had no flavor. I think really great food for ppl who can't handle spice (that could possibly be the entire neighborhood)... but maybe some real flavor options would be good too.

The food is alright - however I did order chips with my guac and didn't get it. That's ok with me - but when I called to find out what happened I was told I never ordered thebchiop... No apologies. My issue was the customer service. Even if I made a mistake, the young lady who spoke to me should have apologies and tried to see what could be done.

Great service, so-so food. Small mexican spot with very limited indoor and sidewalk seating serves best for takeout, but the staff will treat you very well if you stay. Food is ok in a pinch, but will not make it into my "go to" rotation.

If you go and you're the only one in the seating area.. its a vibe. Have a beer and a taco.. the nachos were pretty tasty too! They do pork very well. 😉

Overall, taste was good. Ingredients are fresh. I review is really for a 3.6. I think $5 a taco is a bit expensive for the neighborhood. Pricing feels like city pricing hence the stars off. I think there could be other similar portion and quality for cheaper. Nachos were good with the guacamole add on. 3 dishes and 1 soda was about $50. Burritos and nachos were $13-$17 each

Ordered from here based on great reviews and very disappointing. Tostadas were not crispy, just a soft soggy corn tortilla that tasted like it was store bought. Nachos were worse, a bunch of chips with some tasteless chicken cubes and half melted cheese that seemed like it was microwaved. Delivery was fast enough.

I used to get food from here in person and online every week back to 2020. Prices are up everywhere but not everywhere is by as much as 50%+. 2 empanadas cost $13.95 now which is insane. They’re small and not even packed with meat. I’m giving 2 stars because they taste good at least. Even here in NYC empanadas still cost $3-$4 and much bigger. $7 for a hollow empanada is infuriating. In 2021 they were $8.95 for 2 which was still a lot but not unreasonable; up to $13.95 is a 55.8% increase. The burger and fries is $14.50 and it’s a thin piece of meat and the container is barely filled with fries. I remember they used to fill the container to the top and it was less than $10. For $14.50 I don’t expect a fast food sized patty. I do like the red onions but that’s about it. Not much taste to the burger. I will never eat here again.

I really wanted to like this place but the food was so underwhelming. The pastor tacos were lacking any flavor and the tortillas were stale. The rotisserie chicken was dry and tasted plain. The sauces they offer have absolutely no spice. This is more of a Tex-mex place and not an authentic Mexican restaurant. I honestly wished I had ordered from elsewhere. The delivery was super fast however.

I ordered 3 tacos, and a chicken burger w French fries. And this is what I think about it. As soon as I got home I opened the trays and the visual of my food wasn't as I expected. But the worst come when I try the tacos. To star a Mexican taco never comes w cheese. Second the meat was dried and w no taste at all. The chicken in the burger was dried as well. The fries were so over cooked. I had never have tacos that way. I pay almost 30 dollars for three tacos, 1 chicken burger, and 2 sodas. The food went right to the garbage and the sodas to the refrigerator. I am heading to tacos el Bronco

Buyer beware!!! Their paper menu has the wrong prices! They are defrauding their customers!! They charged me $11.50 for a quesadilla listed as $6.75 on their in store paper menu. Dishonest and un-American. The woman in the store said nothing to me about the prices being different than what was listed in the paper menu. There are no prices on the overhead signs. I wasn’t even given a receipt with my order when I requested one. I had to demand a receipt!!! I’m in no way going to patronize any establishment that won’t be upfront about their prices. They have No respect for their customers. Totally dishonest & corrupt. The woman who took my order offered no apology, no shame.

I usually love this place but went recently and got severe food poisoning that caused vomiting and needed to go to the emergency room for treatment. The ER staff that I had staph food poisoning and that based on the timeline it was almost certainly this restaurant. I had 2-3 chicken wings and two Al Pastor tacos, and I was throwing up so violently that I tore the tissue in my upper GI tract and was not able to drink water. I’ll be making a report to the local health department in the hopes that this does not happen to anyone else. Had I not gone to the ER, this could have been life threatening. There was no warning, as the food did not taste off in any way.

Sadly you lost a customer after the second order because of complete arrogance! Ordered a week or so ago, food was okay, arrived lukewarm but that can be forgiven and decided to try again. First time, along with entrees, ordered a medium guacamole which was good, size that it would be in a typical Mexican restaurant with a bag of chips rather than a bowl (as in a restaurant) -- actually had leftover chips. Placed the exact same order a few days ago. Food was cold (congealed cheese enchiladas, not very appetizing) but the biggest issue was the "medium" guacamole was a tiny plastic cup (imagine the size dipping sauce that a sushi restaurant would send). It was a joke and to top it off, NO chips! When we called to find out where the chips were and mentioned the size change from one week to the next, the obnoxious person who answered the phone was adamant that we received a "medium" guacamole AND that in order to get chips, they must be requested! Was she serious??? I wasn't aware that one should eat guacamole with a spoon or fork! I've been around a while and had Mexican food in the finest restaurants and take-out and not only have NEVER asked for chips, but had chip bowls refilled in restaurants without "requesting". Well, time to try one of your neighboring Mexican competition. Someone needs to teach customer service to the person who answers the phone!! See ya!

$46 for a lengua burrito, an al pastor burrito and a chip and salsa…took a few bites and there was no flavor. Dissected the burrito to only find it was packed with partially uncooked rice and no meat! Not really sure how this place got almost 5 stars…

Got takeout last night. The food was OK but I had gotten banana pudding for dessert... it tasted "old" and not fresh... the cookie in there was definitely bad... I woke up in the middle of the night with SEVERE abdominal pain and vomiting! I noticed there was another review from a yr ago from someone who got food poisoning. Beware!
