" I had a great time at Restaurant Maria! The food was delicious — especially the tacos! It felt like a really authentic experience. My only complaint would be the cash-only policy, as I never carry cash with me. However, the service was great, the setting was lovely, and the portions were satisfying. I definitely plan to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by on a whim and discovered a little slice of heaven! The tacos were outstanding, bursting with flavors that reminded me of family gatherings when I was younger. The service was friendly, and the ambiance felt warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal. Just make sure you bring cash, as they don't take cards. I'm a fan and can't wait to go back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to give Restaurant Maria a shot after hearing about its authentic dishes that remind many of home cooking. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with my meal. I ordered the chile verde and it was quite bland, lacking the vibrant flavors I expected. The service was prompt, which was appreciated, but my overall experience was overshadowed by the disappointing food. I might give it another try to see if this was just a one-off experience, but I do think they need to work on the flavor profiles. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting much, given it's a cash-only establishment and a bit of a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were on point, reminding me of my mom's cooking. The fresh tortillas were a highlight. The ambiance was casual and laid back, perfect for a quick meal with friends. While I noticed some reviews mention service issues, my experience was good. The staff was friendly, and I was served promptly. I’ll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurant Maria is an absolute delight. Every time I visit, I feel like I've come home. The menu has so many comforting options, but I always go back to the caldo de res. It warms the heart and is wonderfully rich. The staff are all friendly, which makes the experience even better. If you're a fan of Mexican food, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. Just remember, it's cash only! But that’s a minor inconvenience compared to the joy of the food. " (*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*)
