I work for a delivery service & every time I pick up from here, the food takes forever, the servers basically ignore me, they will talk to each other while the food sits in the window when it could easily be handed to me. It’s just beyond frustrating to come here. The food always smells amazing & I’m sure it is. But the service is just off. It’s one of my least favorite places to pickup from.

My job eats there regularly and it's a crowd favorite, I would do 5 stars but they stopped making the catfish tacos, if they start making them again I will absolutely change this review to 5 stars oh and by the way the queso is on point

I really liked the crispy tacos and guacamole with chips. I don't eat a lot of salt, so the first batch of chips were a little salty for me but perfect on the next batch after I let them know. Both batches of chips were hot and fresh out the fryer and so crispy. Tacos had plenty of meat and toppings and we also had quesadillas that had plenty of meat and cheese. Staff was attentive and fairly quick with our orders despite being very busy. Will visit more often.

A much overdue family dinner with extended family in a post Covid world was in order. We had a really nice time--it was very comfortable, and the service was top notch. The food was good--there were some things that stood out more than others. I really enjoyed the roasted Chile rellenos. They are not breaded and fried as is typical of just about every other Mexican restaurant in the area, and the grilled chicken had a nice charred and smoky flavor. I really enjoyed the fresh and crispy chips. I found the salsa and queso average--not bad but also not the best I've had. The chimi chicas were

Haven't had a bad meal here yet. Eat here about once a week and the food is always delicious. The wait staff goes out of their way to make sure you have everything they need. The margaritas out outstanding. While the "atmosphere" is dated it is always very clean and I'm there to eat not to gaze upon the surroundings. I can't recommend Maria's enough.

So the food is not bad by any means it's just underwhelming. When I go to a Mexican restaurant I don't want to see American cheese on my enchiladas. The queso tastes like something you would find at Walmart. The steak is really juicy and the salsa is the best I have ever had. I would love to come back to this place sometime when they can revise some stuff.

We went here recently for the first time. We've past by more times than we can remember, but it will not be the last time we stop by for dinner.
They brought us the complimentary chips and salsa and drinks. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good the chips were. They are homemade, warm, lightly salted and very thin. My favorite kind! The salsa was also very good. That was a good sign.
There was a shift change issue, so they were delayed taking our meal order, so they offered us a free appetizer. Awesome! They brought us the queso, while we waited for our meal.
I got the tamales

My Very First Visit here and they didn't disappoint. After debating over the menu online, I finally called in to order. Needless to say I completely forgot what I had decided once someone answered. The young lady was very pleasant and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. She didn't rush me one bit. My gosh they had so many choices. I decided on the shredded chicken burrito with no beans or rice with a guacamole salad. I also ordered some spinach queso with cilantro. The spinach was fresh! Yes there is a huge difference in taste when it comes to canned and fresh spinach. It was

My go-to for Mexican food in Livingston Parish for past 35 years! Consistently good quality. Family owned. Son owns it now & has done a great job carrying on from what his parents started. Miss seeing Maria, his mom.. she knew customers by name.. but the wait staff here are just as friendly and I see Maria's son back in the kitchen keeping things going. I love the guacamole, chicken queso dip, their unique salsa & the shredded chicken quesadillas.

Sooooo we were out looking for something to eat, we have passed by here thousands of times and Julie says let's try it.
It's a little restaurant and we got a booth in what must have been a closet once. Service was excellent!! She had our drinks full and chips and salsa on the table the whole time we were there!! Julie had a taco and a chicken enchilada I had the street tacos with charro beans and rice. The steak in my tacos had like parmesan cheese on them, maybe, it was different than I'm used to but it was really really good. Rice was ok, the beans are delicious and the portions

I mostly only come here because my family likes it (mostly for nostalgic reasons I assume). Maria, the owner is super sweet, and certain menu items are good but overall I would give their food a C+....especially considering you have a plethora of other Mexican options around. Their prices are pretty good, but I find their food mediocre most of the time.

So this is a hole in the wall for sure. I really wanted Mexican food and he took me straight here. The people that work here are super sweet and tentative. They sat us in this cozy nook area with 2 booths. They immediately brought Salsa which was pretty good. I also got a margarita on the rocks. I ordered a bowl of soup and a steak taco salad. Both were very good. My boyfriend ordered fried shrimp tacos and queso and he liked it. The margaritas were super good. I would totally come back

I've lived here for almost 20 years and this was my first time to eat here. The chips were hit when our waitress brought them. Theirs salsa was very good, as well as the guacamole! The tacos were fantastic! I'm not a big fan of the beans....they tasted as tho they may have a hint of beer in them. The wait time for the food seemed a little slow, but it's not enough to keep my from going back

I have always loved going to Maria's, it is that go to Mexican restaurant. The service is always great and the food is good, not the best but, good. I would describe it as your typical Tex-Mex. This restaurant has stood the test of time and I enjoy going back every now and then to satisfy that craving.

This is the absolute best Mexican spot in our area. It's got everything a foodie could want, genuine cuisine made to order from owners who care about what they do and know what their customers want. Not only are we forever patrons, but we feel personally connected since the flood. We heard the owner walked to the restaurant when roads were impassable after it finally stopped raining August 2016. He discovered that his sweet Maria's had not flooded. It was one of the only restaurants in Denham proper that did not take on water....and they got to work almost right away. Shortly after, we

Awkward experiences and strange Tex-Mex fare.
WARNING: You will get a colby-jack over load.
The restaurant itself is weirdly setup, only to be described when one enters the building. The customary chips and salsa were mediocre. You know when you get subpar chips and dip that your experience will one to look forward to! I got one of the lunch specials, a beef burrito with rice and refried beans. The rice and beans themselves were good, yet the burrito was a monstrosity. You got more Tex than Mex. Just to make matters more unfortunate, the waitress was extremely strange and awkward to be around
