" I recently hosted a small family gathering and ordered a ton of tacos from Maria's. The catering was seamless, and everyone raved about the carne asada. Some guests specifically mentioned how tender the beef was and how the flavors reminded them of their families' cooking. The only hiccup was the mix-up on the quantity we ordered, but Maria was very relatable and sorted it out without fuss. I highly recommend her food for events and will definitely use her services again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! I really enjoyed my shrimp tacos, which were grilled to perfection. However, I faced a little hiccup when trying to place my order, as there were a few people ahead of me and it took a while to get their transactions sorted. Maria handled everything with grace, and when it was my turn, her attention was unwavering. Can’t wait to return to try out the other menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am super picky with my Mexican food, so I had my doubts, but Maria's lived up to the hype! My friends raved about the delicious breakfasts they had there, and after trying her breakfast burrito myself, I completely understand. The tortilla was genuinely homemade, which was evident in the taste. The portion was generous for breakfast, and I felt satisfied after! Definitely plan to visit again for lunch after having such a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Southern California for years, I have seen a lot of Mexican food options, but Maria's deserves the crown. The authenticity feels genuine; you can taste the passion out of every taco. However, I must comment on the wait times! I understand it’s a food truck setting, but there’s been a few occasions where I wanted to give up because of how long it took. Still, the flavors and quality do not disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed! I decided to give Maria’s a shot after hearing good word-of-mouth, but my experience was frustratingly average. A friend and I both got tacos, and they were merely okay. Plus, we had to wait longer than expected, and to top it off, I found it incredibly cramped at the truck. With all the hype, I was expecting much more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! The tacos were out of this world. I could have eaten a dozen! Maria took the time to explain each dish, which made it feel even more personal. I enjoy places where you can taste the effort that goes into the food. The wait, although a bit lengthy, was so worth it in the end. This is true Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Maria's Mexican Food was a pleasant surprise. The tacos de buche were a standout—I truly felt connected to the culture with every bite! The one drawback is that it felt a little cramped with the picnic tables provided, but I enjoyed the vibe overall. I could only imagine how busy it must get on weekends! Plan accordingly, but definitely stop in for a taste of authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
