" Just had dinner at Las Maria's and I'm feeling thankful I found this place! Everything from the salsa to my main course was delicious. Their portions are generous, and it’s pretty affordable for the quality of the food you get. The wait staff were attentive and friendly, and they made sure we were well taken care of. Will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I had read positive reviews about Las Maria's, my experience was underwhelming. I ordered nachos expecting a generous serving, but it felt more like an appetizer portion. The flavor was good — don’t get me wrong — but I left feeling slightly unsatisfied. The ambience and service were lovely, but I sincerely hope they enhance their portion sizes moving forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Las Maria's was just decent. The atmosphere was nice, but the food fell flat for me. I tried the carnitas, and they weren’t as flavorful as I hoped. Don't get me wrong, the service was very genuine and attentive. Even though it wasn't ideal, I left feeling positive about trying again. Sometimes restaurants do need time to iron out the kinks in their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was intrigued by the high ratings for Las Maria's and was eager to pay a visit. The outdoor seating is lovely, but sadly it was full when we arrived. The food was good, but I found my tacos a tad bland and my friend’s plate had ingredients that didn’t match the menu description. This type of inconsistency is disappointing considering the restaurant's high reputation. Service was very friendly though, and the manager quickly addressed our issues. All in all, I would consider giving it another shot since I really liked the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I genuinely enjoy the taste of Las Maria's food; it boasts an authentic flair that reminds me of my time in Mexico. I had the carnitas, which were tender and flavorful. The service was quick and the prices are very reasonable. However, I did notice they can sometimes overlook detail in their dishes, like skipping ingredients mentioned on the menu. Despite this, I’d still recommend it to anyone looking for a good Mexican meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love going to Las Maria's for my Mexican fix, but I've noticed a decline in quality recently. My last order was bland, and the service, while friendly, seemed overwhelmed. I think they might be struggling with staffing. The ambiance still feels cozy and welcoming; it just seems the food isn't receiving the same attention it once did. I hope they can bounce back to their former glory. " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Maria’s was recommended to me by a colleague, and I must say I was impressed! I ordered the shrimp fajitas. They arrived sizzling hot and were bursting with flavors. The portion size was perfect for sharing. The decor is lovely, too, giving it a homey feel. However, I found the dessert, while tasty, to be slightly overpriced. Nonetheless, it was a satisfying experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
