Maria's Mexican Restaurant

This place is colorful and huge . We walked in were seated as soon as we made it up the stairs . Our server was so helpful and friendly . Food was tasty and reasonably priced . Cute little gem in downtown Lancaster

This place gets worse each time. I am officially done! The chimichangas were smaller than a frozen cheap bean burrito and the taste lacked ANY flavor. It was literally boiled chicken with absolutely NO seasoning wrapped in a tortilla and covered with hot milk that was supposed to be cheese. Save your money and go to Taco Bell at least the dog food they serve you has flavor and fills you up

Maria's is a nice restaurant on Mainstreet in Lancaster. It can be difficult entering if you are coming off the street as they have steep stairs and a small doorway opening. inside it has been converted from a house of offices at one time to the current seating arrangements. Due to this it felt a bit cramped inside. Our server was on the spot as my drink was never empty and the chips and salsa were always in supply. I ordered El Tapatio and I regret to say that it was not the best. the chicken was dry, and the dish overall was bland. I tried the dishes of others that were in our group and was not impressed with those either. Great service, subpar food.

Been hearing good things about Maria's so while we were down in Lancaster decided to check it out - Maria's is in a great location right on Main Street in downtown Lancaster occupying a beautiful old historic bank building. We sat outside on a spacious patio with a live band playing. Promptly received our chips & salsa, ordered a pitcher of the house marg and a side of queso - band was strumming some good tunes and we were off the a great start!Fajitas came out sizzling, we ordered the Fajitas Tropicana and the Molcajete, good presentation on the sizzling fajitas but the food itself was just so bland - which is a shame because I was enjoying everything about Maria's. In addition to the food lacking flavor/seasoning/spice the little shrimpys were not deveined, and it wasn't just like a little vein leftover... no, it was a massive and very noticeable full poopchute on every skrimp.Hoping we just hit Maria's on an off night, so I'll probably come back for another visit.

When our plans were squashed for the day we stopped in here to day drink. Absolutely beautiful building in need of a lot of love. Still you can see how gorgeous it once was. I would recommend a stop just to see the architecture. I got a Jumbo Margarita because, well...why not. Service was fast and attentive. Cozy atmosphere Chips and salsa were the standard fare. The place used to be an old lodge and they still put on theatrical performances in the ballroom.

Muy bien. In other words Damm! Yep it was perfect. I mola sauce hit the parlay. Chicken Mola #56 was so tasty I didn't come up for air. It seemed to get better with each bite. It was so good I didn't want to swallow it. The rice was moist with flavor. The only problem is they don't give you enough rice and beans. I could shovel that in my mouth all day. The shrimp Santa Anna was good as well. If you like butter shrimp you will like it. . the decor was on point also. Service was fast and they didn't bug you while eating. The seats are a little low and I can tell people from the area code for the cocktails. Each table was loaded with them. If I'm back in this town I will definitely stop in.

The reviews on Yelp are not as great as google reviews for some reason. This was my second time here but I don't really remember the first. Busy place on a Friday night, so we put our name in for a little bit of a wait. While we were waiting tho we were able to sit near the bar in the hallway and order drinks which was very nice. I got a regular margarita on the rocks. Decently strong and a good size! The menu is lengthy and it was hard to decide. I went with the shrimp fajitas. They did forget to bring out the tortillas which was a bit surprising, so I had to ask for them. The shrimp were a good flavor, but about half of them were not deveined. I don't think it's a problem to eat that, it's just kinda of gross to think about so I used the fork to devein most of them. Otherwise everything was pretty tasty! We were here for a birthday and they also brought out a huge sombrero for them to wear and sang happy birthday in Spanish with some fun noisemakers!

My fiancé & I tried this place for the first time Sunday night. Overall, it was just okay. First, the service was a little slow. Our server was friendly & attentive, but we had to ask for items that usually should have been brought regularly. The food was just okay... the portions were very big, but taste was for the most part so-so. I had the steak fajita, & she had a 3 piece combo. Ambiance was just so-so, too. The white folding chairs kinda seemed to cheapen the look. I understand it was supposed to be better a while ago, but i honestly don't think I'll be back. There's plenty of other Mexican restaurants that are just better than this.

We went with Maria's to supply the food for a recent graduation. Our graduation party was planned for 150-200 people. We were delighted with the food we got from Maria's. It was hot, fresh and delicious. We had steak and chicken fajitas, rice, refried beans, and Mexican salad. There was also chips, salsa and guacamole. Chico went over the top to make sure that we had everything we needed to have a great time. I would highly recommend Maria's as an option for catering your upcoming celebration.

Let's just say that some people just like to complain about anything. I read the reviews and yes sometimes restaurants have bad days as well as you. The four of us today stopped into this establishment and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of professionalism of the staff. Food was excellent very authentic Mexican cuisine. The four of us travel around to see other cities history and places to eat. So help your city's economy.
