" I enjoyed my experience at Maria's, but it wasn't without a couple of hiccups. When we first arrived, the place was quite busy and we were left waiting for a while before being seated. Once we got in, our server was friendly, but a bit forgetful about our drink orders. The food was delicious, though—especially their shrimp tacos! The overall ambiance was nice, making for a decent dining experience. I think it’s worth a second visit for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Maria's for a casual dinner with friends last week, and it was a delightful outing. The service was efficient, with our drinks coming out quickly. We started with the tamales which were a great begin to our meal, very authentic in flavor. For mains, I had the enchiladas and they were delicious; gooey, cheesy, and full of flavor! My only critique would be the slight wait to get our entrees after finishing appetizers, but it was well worth it. The portions were generous, and I think the prices reflect the quality of ingredients. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a very nice dinner at Maria's. The atmosphere was inviting and a perfect backdrop for a fun evening out. Service was approachable, and the staff ensured we were well taken care of. We opted for a variety of dishes, and each one had its unique flavor, but I wish the guacamole had been fresher. The portions were generous, and I appreciated the complimentary chips to start. Overall, I would return to sample other offerings from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maria's is a delightful restaurant that consistently brings me back. The vibrant atmosphere and fantastic service create an enjoyable dining experience. I can't get enough of their melt-in-your-mouth carnitas—they're seasoned perfectly! The complimentary chips and salsa are a nice treat while perusing the menu. If you enjoy classic Mexican cuisine with generous portions, Maria's checks all the boxes for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I have to say Maria's is my go-to for Mexican food in Grass Valley. The environment is always inviting, and the service is consistently quick and attentive. I always go for their carne asada fries, which are loaded with toppings and always hit the spot! They've also got a good selection of margaritas that pair well with anything on the menu. If you're looking for hearty portions and good vibes, Maria's delivers every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" With all the buzz about Maria's in town, I had high expectations. While the place was lively and the staff were welcoming, I did find some of the dishes somewhat lacking in authenticity. For example, I tried their tamales which were decent, but not the best I've had. The prices were fair for the portion sizes, but they need to step it up with flavors to truly stand out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Maria's. While the ambiance and staff were lovely, the food did not live up to my expectations. I ordered the fish tacos, and although they were generous in size, they lacked a punch in flavor. I’ve had much better tacos elsewhere, which was surprising considering the good reviews. The service was good, but I wouldn’t rush back for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)
