It's the same story the food is good the service is poor. You have to ask for everything here they don't ask you if they can get you anything like more chips or water. If you have left overs you have to ask them for a take out plate to take them home and even a bag to put them in. They never offer and I don't think they will ever change.

From the time we walked in to the time we left, we were not given much attention. We had to ask for a beverage for starters. It took 20 minutes before our waitress took our order. By then, we had to ask if we could get a refill on our beverage.The food we ordered lacked in flavor. When we finished eating we had to ask for the check. We have dined here before and had a similar experience. We just wanted to give them another chance but, unfortunately, the were consistant in their lack of attentiveness and each time we dined there, the food was not up to our expectation.

My wife and I have been coming to Maria's Cafe for several years now. We love the food so much that we have no problem waiting a little extra for our meals to arrive. But, since the remodel was completed, the service is EXTREMELY SLOW!! We waited about 90 minutes before our food arrived! Luckily, we were not in a rush. The new look is very nice but the level of service has declined so much that we will probably not dine at Maria's unless it is empty. We are very sad that one of our favorite restaurants has declined so quickly! PLEASE FIND A WAY TO INCREASE THE SPEED OF SERVICE!!!

I will continue to go to Maria's but more frequently if they remain on Restaurant.com. Maria's, you give your servers too many tables to wait on though everyone is very nice. Thank you!

We love Maria's food, and eat there maybe once a month. There's always a long line, but we have found that getting take-out is usually fairly quick. When we called in the order today, were told that it would be about 15 minutes. It took an hour to get the food because the place was so busy. I understand busy, but it was totally unprofessional to say that it would be 15 minutes when they knew well that it would be much longer. Just be honest, please. I would have been ok with just going there later.

Maria's is a great place to go and eat at. We have been there a lot but wanted to take my parents out to eat there and they loved it. The only drawback is there is never enough seating and is so small. (That's actually a good sign) The people are so nice and friendly everytime we go in and they are excellent servers.

Plus: Excellent place to eat authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. Minus: The dining area is very small and there is really no place inside to wait. Also, the service is fair-they tend to forget about you and often you have to ask your server more than once.
