    Nice atmosphere, decent beer options, friendly and attentive staff. We got tacos and dirty rice bowl. They were great, very clean tasting, this place is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around! We'll definitely be back!

    Really dig this restaurant! It is tex mex not real Mexican food and the selection is good! They serve tortas, enchiladas, fajitas,quesadillas, salad bowls, burgers and few other interesting items!! It definitely is the best tex mex I've had around here. If you like alcohol try the prickly pear 😉

    The mixed drinks were great, and the atmosphere is very cool, but we were not impressed with the cheese dip, World Famous chicken tamales, or Mahi Mahi fish tacos.

    Showed up at 9:03. The open sign was lit and the door said they are open till 10. The person who greeted us at the front door was rude and said they were closed. I asked to speak to a manager and a man and woman came up. The man was nice in his demeanor but the woman was combative and rude. She was not interested in hearing anything and only wanted to push me out the door. Horrible experience to the point i will be consulting with my lawyer. Dont go here if you are looking for friendly service.

    We've eaten at Maria's MANY times, the food and service is always great. Last weekend, Maria's catered our son and his new bride's wedding rehearsal dinner. The food was excellent. We recieved many compliments on the food. Awesome job, Shane and Maria's Cantina! Very well done!

    I was there earlier this year with a person and her family for her birthday. Anyway the food I had was pretty decent as I've had better and when I paid for my food, they kept my change so I took a souvenir. This was my very first time hearing of this restaurant. It was my first visit and perhaps my last. Maybe one day my heart will change and I'll give them another shot, but as of right now, probably not.

    Never been to a Mexican Cantina and have to pay for chips and Salsa. Then chili powder is added to the chips. They need not to do that. Service was good, but the food is o.k. Wasn't sure if this was a Mexican restaurant or Cajun by the menu.

    It was a fun little place. They were fairly crowded, most likely because they were the only restaurant close to the concert we were going to. We got a seat after about 10 min. Service took a very long time, felt like we were forgotten. The food was good though. Good portion sizes and good taste.

    There were many people in the restaurant but the service was quick. The shrimp quesadilla and prickly pear margarita were delicious. The queso was also very good, but I didn't care too much for the salsa (tasted like tomato paste).

    Hands down the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had . I had to pay a 20 percent charge on top of my bill when I only had 4 people on my bill because we were sitting with 2 other families , which came out to be almost 16 dollars when the waiter wasn’t worth 3 dollars . We had to wait 20 minutes to get drinks every time he came by which wasn’t very often. The food is not anything near what I would consider Mexican food . The draft beers weren’t cold . They were out of sweet tea . I had to wait 20 minutes to get my bill. And the food was terrible . I wouldn’t eat here again if it was free ! I really hope they learn how to treat customers better if they want business. Making me Give a 2 dollar waiter a 16 dollar tip is not a way to earn my business . I don’t mind tipping good when they are worth it. I wouldn’t recommend this one at all !

    Limited parking. Nice menu. Had the fish tacos. Very good. Friendly service. Would go back.

    6/25/23- I get there and no complimentary chips and salsa! We then had a table which wasn’t cleaned good and the waitress subtly acted like we were lying. I then asked for a glass of hot water and she comes back with the cup 1/5 full! We then get the food and on a scale of 1-10, it was a 3 because nothing looked like it was freshly made! Oh, I was also told the steak nachos I ordered did NOT come with salsa or sour cream!!! That I had order that extra small cup of salsa and sour cream separately! Would not recommend, however if you do go, only go during the cheaper lunch specials. Do not go for dinner!

    Went during lunch time. I ordered guacamole, salsa and chips, chicken and sausage gumbo (because I was curious about getting cajun-creole food from a Mexican restaurant), and grilled/blackened mahi topped with tomato-based crawfish topping. My waitress was great and very attentive so I wish I could give her 5 stars. My food came out pretty quickly too. I wasn't a fan of the food. The guac was flavorless and the salsa taste like burnt tomatoes. That same burnt taste was in gumbo and on top of the mahi. I probably should've just stuck with the traditional Mexican dishes.

    This is a great place to eat. A great variety of Mexican food with a twist. We have been several times. Give this place a try, you will love it. Order the fried jalapeno appetizer, you won't regret it. Closed on Mondays!

    I don't know where to begin family. The Entrance to the restaurant was clean and simple. The inside was also clean I might add the service was great the gal that served us was nice and knowledgeable about the menu and the food that is on the menu. When we were there their was military and fighter people and they have military discount which all restaurants should have. My only gripe is that they charge you like an extra $2.00 or so for Chips and salsa which if you go to a Mexican restaurant you know that they usually give you chips and salsa for free plus refills! Their was a missing man table honoring those fallen soldiers which you don't see that in restraunts these days.

    Haley, our server, was amazing! We were pleasantly surprised by the diversity and fusion of the food! We are huge foodies and our favorite go to is Mexican cuisine this place fuses Mexican with Cajun, American, and Latin flavors like I've never had and we were totally impressed! What a unique and yummy experience! We can't wait to go back and try some more!

    It's Tex-Mex, so if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, don't go there. Food was flavorful, though. One waitress had on shorts that were more like underwear, and her butt cheeks were hanging out. Won't take my children there again!

  • 3/5 Kimberly H. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was less than stellar. Since we were a party, our waitress did not go out her way to make us feel welcomed. She already knew she was getting a gratuity anyways. However, the food was great.

  • 5/5 krasy k. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved the environment and the patio!! Amazing nachos and the best margaritas I've had in a long time!!! Definitely making this one of our new favs! The waiter was great and will be asking for him next time!

    Maria's Cantina provided subpar (read: slow) service and mediocre Mexican food. I came with 7 other people, and I was disappointed that such sluggish service accompanied the 20% automatic gratuity (for groups 7+). Regarding the food, the fajitas were just okay while the pork tacos were unbearably dry. Their offerings pale in comparison to other restaurants I've visited. If you want to waste your money and time, stop by.
