" While Doña Maria gets a lot right, I had a rather mixed experience during my last visit. The tacos were flavorful but rather small for the price. I was delighted by how friendly the staff was, and the atmosphere was casual and relaxed. However, I do think they need to step it up a notch concerning portion sizes. I might give it another chance if I'm in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Doña Maria for years, and it always delights! The food tastes like home, from the tacos to the tamales. Each dish is made with care and love, and I appreciate that the ingredients taste fresh and authentic. The staff remains friendly and attentive year after year, making this a go-to spot for me and my friends. You won't be disappointed here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Doña Maria has been a staple in my dining options for years. It offers a cozy atmosphere where I always feel welcome. The menu has various authentic dishes that cater to different tastes. My last meal of fish tacos was tasty, but I think the portions could have been a little larger for the price. But I wouldn’t criticize it too harshly; I still enjoy coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I've always enjoyed my visits to Doña Maria, my last visit was a bit underwhelming. The food quality seemed to vary; my tacos were average compared to previous experiences. However, the service was still very friendly, and the ambiance was welcoming. Still, I anticipated more flavor from my meal. It's a decent spot for casual dining, but I hope they can maintain the high standards. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have nothing but good things to say about Doña Maria! From the warm chips provided at the start to the extravagant flavors in the enchiladas, it felt like a true feast. I love that they aim for authenticity, and it shines through. The service was excellent, and even the drinks were impressive. I can't wait to come back with more friends next time!

" I was really let down by my experience at Doña Maria. While many said it was authentic, my meal was unremarkable. The service was average rather than friendly, and it took longer than expected to get our food. The salsa was tasty, but the tacos I ordered were dry. I expected much better given the rave reviews. Not sure I’d rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Doña Maria! The vibe was laid-back and relaxed, just what I needed after a long week. I ordered the quesadilla with shredded beef and I was impressed. The beef was juicy, and the homemade tortillas wrapped around it were delicious. I paired it with their famous margaritas, which were strong but smooth. The service was prompt, making our dining experience smooth. Will definitely revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)
