Fantastic service, fantastic food, and ultra clean environment. We found this as we were traveling through, and would definitely stop again if we had the opportunity. The owner and servers were fantastic, everybody was very friendly, and the prices were extremely reasonable. I wish we had one of these close by in Pennsylvania :-) certainly a gem!

Since the move to this very attractive stand alone location we wondered how Maria's was doing. The location on 32nd was very easy to get into and its location was in a great drive-by location. The new location is difficult to get to and not in an area most people would see driving by. You need to intentionally going to Maria's and they may loose some business from impulse customers.We stopped in to see what was new and how they had renovated the building. Let me say they have done a great job! They are still putting up artwork and decorating but this is a great location with personality and worth going out of your way to go find it.Our waiter was charming, funny, and gave us just enough attention without over doing it either. We both ordered the combination fajitas, it included shrimp, steak and chicken. Since I often get this version of fajitas at many of the Mexican restaurants throughout Joplin. So I had plenty to compare to including my two favorites.Let me just say we were both impressed! Plenty of meats, not all seasoned together, but appropriately for each meat! That takes some extra effort. One gripe I have with fajitas at many places is the onions and peppers are often under cooked. Not these, again they were plenty of vegetables and correctly cooked.We also ordered their table side guacamole. Some restaurants make bit of a production out of it when you pay for the table side version. This one was more mechanical, not done poorly, just without any theatrics or flourishments. It was good but too mild for me, but make milder for my wife's preferences.Our waiter also brought two salsa's and asked us if we wanted hot. Then he joked its American hot not Mexican hot. To me it was typical mild and not hot at all. The mild was tasteless to me but fine to my wife. All in all we were impressed, and reminded that you could get tortillas in three flavors. I hope they can do well in the new location and people will make the effort to wind their way back in and support Maria's move.

Food was horrible, tasted like they ran to dollar general before they opened and through something together. The Queso was bland and grainy. The chicken was tough and dry. The overall taste was not good at all.The service was fine nothing wrong there.Ambience is boring and booths super crowded.

We really like to eat at Maria's. Service is excellent, as is atmosphere. But the food is best of all. I love the chicken fajitas. My mother says their taco salad is among the best she's had anywhere. You get mild and hot salsa, and they are great. Maria's is one of three Mexican restaurants we frequent in Joplin. But if I'm in the mood for fajitas, this is my go-to place.

The fajitas were amazing and a really good price for steak, chicken & shrimp combination plate. Drinks were good. The staff were all polite and the waiter was really attentive and quick. Open area for restaurant and not too close to other patrons.
