Maria's Mexican Restaurant

Overall experience: 6/10So I saw this restaurant on TikTok reviewed by Mr.Chimetime.Everybody's taste is different but judging by how he was raving about this place I thought I'd give it a try. I tried the Birria Ramen bowl: 4/10Quesabirria taco 1 beef, 1 chicken, 1 shrimp: the beef 4/10, chicken 10/10, shrimp 8/10And the Gringo Dip 7/10This is my first experience with Birria and the beef did not hit. Honestly tho, I feel like maybe somebody half stepped in the kitchen and forgot to add a few ingredients (I.e salt amongst them all). I truly feel like the beef would be good maybe on another day just today wasn't it. It wasn't bad but it really lacked flavor. And the consume just didn't add any extra pizzazz tho make it any better. . I thought that even tho the Birria taco was wack, the ramen surly couldn't be bad with it sitting and stewing in the juices.............. Wrong. The flavors just weren't developed in the Birria today. However!!!!......that chicken. WOW!! The chicken was so flavorful I had to buy another one. Super juicy and super flavorful. Whatever they did to the chicken, they need to do to the beef. Omg. I may have to spin the block on that one again. The shrimp Birria was really good as well. Big juicy pieces of shrimp and grilled to perfection. Chefs kiss!! The only reason I give this a 8/10 is because I feel it just needed a lil something more to put it over the top. Some kind of kick. But it's super delicious. The gringo dip was cool. It's a basic white queso dip just with some beans in it. I wish Mexican restaurants would make homemade hearty dip with real ingredients. This just tastes like melted cheese and nothing more. Service was cool I guess. Nothing spectacular to brag about but not enough to complain about either. They have moderate parking and it's free. They have a sign in the window that says "We do not give refunds on food or drinks" so I guess be sure you know you want what you order cause you will be stuck with it.

Was visiting charlotte NC and was craving Mexican food . Picked this spot from Google reviews . It was actually good .. we liked the food . Was surprised to see so many vegetarian options. Veggie fajitas was really good . Lots of drink options too. As always Mexican margaritas are the best . Service was good . Food was prepared quick and we got it . Ambience was ok. chicken dish was average . We still liked the overall experience . Liked it .. 4 stars ..

Dropped in here months ago, found it fromSocial media and I will say it was a solid visit. Food was good! It wasn't busy at all, the server was kind and gave some solid recommendations. I didn't get any photos of the food or see much of the restaurant because we sat in the front. It looks like a Good spot to have a larger group Or just grab a quick bite.

The food is excellent. They specialize in birria and it's always so good. The service could be a bit better but overall it was good. We had two and went on a Friday night and had no wait.

The food was great and nicely priced. Had the chicken taco salad and it was flavorful and tasty. My boyfriend had the chicken birra crunch wrap and wasn't as pleased with it. The wrap was soggy and keep falling apart. Was presented like the menu picture showed. Service was good as she kept going over to the table and checking on us. Kept our waters full which was good. Music and people weren't to loud in the restaurant and it was clean. Would visit again and recommend!

I've seen this place all of instagram, is is definitely an influencer favorite. Birria is very trendy right now and they've made everything Birria. Now I'm going to start this off by saying that my mom absolutely loves this place. Her favorite thing to get is the Birria pizza. I, however, was not crazy impressed. The server was really nice and the restaurant itself is cute, the food got out pretty quickly but the flavor was not there for me. I got the Birria grilled cheese and the consome didn't have any real flavor at all which was disappointing. The grilled cheese itself was just cheese and meat and again, the meat didn't have any depth in the flavor. So it was just bleh to me. I'll probably be back because my mom loves it but I will be trying something that is not Birria. I will update my review if something else ends up being better!

Maria's serves authentic Mexican food with lots of flavor. The salsa is absolutely delicious, but they only provide tiny portions of it, I'm not sure if more is extra $ or not. I tried the birria ramen, and while it was really good, the portions of noodles and meat were too small. Adding extra noodles for $2 is worth it to make the dish more satisfying and filling. The steak is cooked well, and the birria tacos are another highlight and packed with flavor. The service is quick and friendly, which makes the overall experience enjoyable. I'll definitely be back!

I've been wanting to try this restaurant forever. I noticed that it's been in Charlotte for a very long time, so it must be good. They have a great menu with lots of birria for those that enjoy it. We had chicken fajitas, enchiladas, quesabirria, and the fried ice cream. Everything was delicious, except for the rice, which I found bland and a very strange neon orange color. The fried ice cream was unlike any I've ever had, the presentation was very different, but it was delicious and had wonderful flavors of cinnamon and honey. The restaurant was super clean and inviting, the service was good, and we are excited to return. That birria grilled cheese has my name on it.

We weren't greeted upon entry and immediately seated in a booth! The booth is definitely in need of refurbishing. There is a partial menu on the table with a QR code to access the full menu. There are beautiful vibrant handpainted flowers on the building and booths. My Mom decided on the Chicken Fajita Quesadilla and I ordered the #27 Quesataco Combo with Birria and Chicken Birria with Rice and Beans. The food was fresh, hot and tasty! My Mom was only able to eat one quesadilla! The Birria was cheesy and flavorful! Our server was very attentive throughout our experience! Overall the food was delicious and I will return when I'm in the area!

The birria ramen is awesome! The Monday special includes a birria taco. I will be back!
