Across the board, the feeling was that the food was decent, but not a good value for the money. You can eat just as well elsewhere for the equal or less money (Los Dos Mollinos, Tia Rosas, for example).

On the bright side, if you do go to Maria Maria, get the seafood guacamole - it was a hit. And, our waitress was very friendly, which made up for the poor showing from the host.

The service was terrible. The waitress offered no guidance on entree selection other than the chicken enchiladas suizas which “like are made with cinnamon and like really good.”

I ordered Duck Tacos and the Carnitas with a side of rice and beans. The Tacos were good but the Carnias and rice and beans were so salty. My dinnermates also complained of their food being overly salty except for one who ordered the fish tacos.

After the waitresses recommendation we never saw her again. So once our salty entrees arrived, we ended up having to walk back and forth to the bar about twice to refill our waters. I wish I could say I would go back because it’s a beautiful place and the patio is a great place to sit and eat. But I think I’d find somewhere else in the area for food next time.

That really looks like bugs. Ew.
