" After hearing rave reviews about Maria's, I decided to take my family there for dinner. The outdoor patio was lovely and perfect for a warm evening. The service was prompt and friendly, which I really appreciated. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa and they were just right—not too spicy and very fresh. For my main dish, I had the pollo asado which was flavorful but a little on the oily side. My family loved their dishes, especially the enchiladas and tamales. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner, though I think I expected a bit more authenticity from the food. It's still a solid choice if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving Mexican food, Maria's is an outstanding option in Grass Valley! The vibrant decor and friendly staff immediately catch your attention. My wife and I started with the nachos which were generously sized and very tasty. For mains, we tried the chicken and steak fajitas, and both were savory and plentiful. They make great margaritas too, definitely don’t skip on those! Enjoyed our meal and will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Maria's multiple times, and it's always a solid experience. The service is quick, and the staff is friendly. The complimentary chips and salsa are a nice touch and one of the best I've had! We tried the burritos and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, they were well-stuffed and fresh. I must say, the overall atmosphere is welcoming, making it a good choice for gatherings or even a casual date night. Definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally had the chance to dine at Maria's Mexican Restaurant after hearing so many great things about it. The moment we walked in, the vibrant colors and welcoming staff set a positive tone for the evening. We ordered the steak fajitas and the shrimp tacos, and both dishes were delicious! The meat was well-seasoned, and the portion sizes were more than generous. I was also impressed with how fresh everything tasted, and the accompanying salsa was exceptional. I particularly loved the margaritas; they're truly some of the best around! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be coming back! " (*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*)
