" Wow! What a hidden gem! My friend took me to Restaurant Maria last weekend, and it was everything you want in a Mexican restaurant. The food was incredibly authentic and delicious! I could taste grandma's cooking, and the homemade tortillas made a huge difference. Also, I loved the salsa; it was tangy and the perfect level of spice. The restaurant was busy but that made it feel really alive. My only complaint would be the cash-only policy, but I understand it means lower prices overall. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience overall! I recently visited Restaurant Maria and was blown away by the authenticity of the food. The hand-made tortillas paired wonderfully with the salsa, which had a perfect balance of spice. I tried the carne asada and it tasted just like my grandmother used to make. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, perfect for a family outing. I will definitely be coming back for more delicious meals. The only downside was that the restaurant only takes cash, which caught me off guard. But it was absolutely worth the extra trip to the ATM! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! I try to come every Sunday with my family. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the sopes are to die for. The service is usually okay, but it could definitely improve. Sometimes they seem very busy and it takes a while to get refills on drinks. Nevertheless, the food makes it all worth it. Just keep in mind they only accept cash, which is a bit inconvenient. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic find for authentic Mexican cuisine! Restaurant Maria never fails to impress. The carne asada tacos are simply the best in town. Very generous portions and everything is freshly prepared. The staff is always friendly, even when busy. I appreciate that they serve fresh salsa with your meal; I always ask for extra. It's definitely a cash-only setup, but I believe it adds to the authentic charm. Can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Restaurant Maria so I visited with high expectations. The atmosphere was nice, but I found the service to be quite slow, especially when it wasn’t too busy. The food was good, though not as amazing as I was led to believe. I guess I expected a little more authenticity. Perhaps I visited on an off-day, as I'd like to give them another shot to change my mind. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Restaurant Maria last week for the first time, and I was really looking forward to it based on the amazing reviews. The ambiance is nice, but I experienced a mix-up with my order, which left me waiting longer than I expected. Once I finally received my food, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste — the salsa was fresh and the portions were relatively filling. I'll likely give it another try but I hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience! I really enjoyed my time at Restaurant Maria. I loved the authentic feel of the restaurant, the service was polite, and the food was fantastic. The only downside was that it was a bit cramped when busy, but it added to the lively atmosphere. I'll definitely be back again and recommend to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)
