Dona Maria

Still great! The carnitas here is so good, you e got to go try it! Service is quick and friendly. Nice outdoor seating area, as well. Covered area on the patio.They charge extra for chips and salsa.

DISAPPOINTED!ordered the deluxe version of their grilled chicken burrito but very little to almost NO chicken , Loaded up with the cheaper fillings.If I wanted a rice and bean burrito I would have ordered one. The food is seasoned good, it's authentic, atmosphere: counter service with tables to eat inside or out, and it is clean. Average mom and pop Mexican walk in.

Loved them years ago- close to my house- today was the last time. My burrito came with mostly rice and beans almost ALL rice and beans- $13 for that and aTiny little of the main ingredient- messed up orders- prices are $19 for a plate. It's always empty now. Time to close it up.

Stopped by for nachos and a beer. $8 for a bottle of negra modelo, and $12 for some very basic nachos. Not terrible, but not great for the price. Maybe their entrees are better, they seem to have a good takeout business. On the positive side, they have good service and pleasant outdoor seating.

Ok - whatever it was, there must have been a bad cook. They are back on track again. A friend pulled me in there and I acquiesced. Glad I did because they fixed the issue this time.

Solid, no-frills mexican joint with to-die-for verde salsa. I grab a to-go burrito here about twice a month. My favorite is the carnitas burrito, but I also get a plain-old bean and cheese. What keeps me coming back is the verde salsa. I could drink a gallon of it! So good. Staff is friendly and the place is clean and comfortable.

NEVER AGAIN. Dona Maria, please do the neighborhood and your clearly miserable staff a favor: just shut down already so maybe a new place with edible food and polite staff might move in to our neighborhood. I just read quite a few other reviews noting experiences just like mine: Argumentative staff unable to take simple orders, sloppy dry icky microwaved food, and inconsistency all around. If you order by telephone, you can forget about getting what you actually ordered. Usually, in their deadpan way, they simply redo the order. Today, though, the woman actually argued with me, defensively insisting that I ordered something I would never order. With a shocking and superior attitude, she said, "Well you're gonna pay more!" when I asked them to give me what I know for certain I ordered. Couldn't believe it. I walked out, stunned. We only ever went there in a pinch, if we had busy days and didn't mind slop for lunch, and because there aren't any other Mexican choices in the immediate area, but we will NEVER go again. I've actually written them off before and not gone for a year plus at a time, but this is the last straw. The food is consistently less than mediocre, not at all fresh, and now you can add blatant, pissy attitude to my list of complaints. Seriously, guys, aren't you embarrassed to serve such slop? You give the special cuisine of Mexico a bad name.

We came here for lunch today and it was just okay.. Pretty average Mexican food and didn't have much seasoning in either of our entrees or in the salsa. It was all pretty bland. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla - the carne asada had a nice char on it but lacked flavor and needed salt and more cheese. One of our orders was incorrect too.Not the worst Mexican food I've had but won't be coming back, there's other better places in the Bay Area that I'd pick before this one.

Mm... Carne asada burritos!It's been tough finding great Mexican food at affordable prices in the Bay Area. Pre and post inflation scaries. Dona Maria was a great find. The food is good - prices vary but for the burritos they are on par with most other places. For a $10.95 grande burrito you get a good sized tortilla stuffed full of rice, beans, meat, cheese, avocado, onions, and cilantro. I personally couldn't really taste the cheese though, so not sure if they skimped a bit there. The avocado was buried in the middle of the burrito but still present. There was a good amount of meat - maybe a 1:1:1 ratio of rice:beans:meat. For the area, this is a solid place to grab a burrito that will mostly fill you up. If you're really hungry, might be good to grab some sides too. I would come back again.

What happened to my favorite local Mexican restaurant? About a month or so ago all the personnel changed including the cook. Taste and presentation went down and the horchata was like beige water. I've been going there for years after Rico Taco let me down with a huge price increase and tacos dripping with oil (pre-COVID). I jumped over to Baja Fresh and while the taste was OK, the presentation was awful. What's going on with local Mexican joints??
