The food is good and the Margaritas are the best in Rochester. I recognize the slow pace, but in the end it's a better place to go if you are not in a hurry. --["CliffBaitsholts"] - ------ - ''2008-08-18 12:02:03'' [[nbsp]] Edible at best-very boring and bland. - I recommend Monte Alban in Irond. Yummy eats at great prices! --["Users/BurbsGal"] - ------ - ''2008-10-12 19:27:21'' [[nbsp]] Maria's is gross. The food is bad, the service is awful, the location horrible. There is a very bad smell in the place that puts me off big time. Avoid. --["Users/CindyKin"] - ------ - ''2008-11-16 22:57:19'' [[nbsp]] My wife and I dined here on 11/15/08. Good luck trying to find this place. It's located in the basement of a converted church which has almost ZERO signage. The concept is cool, I guess, but it's in the basement with no atmosphere....and it was a 100 freaking degrees in that place. My wife is always cold - she was sweating. The service is TERRIBLE. After a 20 minute wait (there were 12 tables open - not snough servers), we were seated and thrown two menus. When she (the server) finally came around (15 minutes later), she didn't explain the fact that on the VERY LIMITED MENU, nothing came with the burrito plate....other than...yup....a burrito slapped down in the middle of the plate. The chicken burrito was boiled chicken (with NO FLAVOR or SEASONINGS) wrapped in a tortilla. We had to ask, after the fact, for cheese (which she never brought), onions, lettuce and tomatoes....and sour cream for $1.50. My wife ordered a glass of wine - it came in a min-airplane sized bottle (white). When she ordered a second, the server brought red. When we brought this to her attention....she instructed my wife as to where the cooler was (a few tables away from us - in the dining room)....that she could get it herself. The service was the worst I've ever had - thr food sucked and the atmosphere very odd. Save yourself the misery. McDonalds' would have been better. We left a $1 tip on a $30 bill - - I wonder if the server got the idea that she sucked! --["Users/ClarkGriswald"] - ------ - ''2008-12-03 18:12:20'' [[nbsp]] I'm astounded by the comments here. This is, by far, the best Mexican Restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. Everything is from scratch. The margaritas are so good, you can only have three. And the enchilada sauce can only be described as "savory". I wish less people liked this restaurant so I could get a seat more easily! --["Users/BatGuano"]	+ [[NBSP]][[NBSP]][[NBSP]][http://rocwiki.org/Wiki_Settings/Images?sendfile=true&file=talkicon.png] '''See ["/Comments" Archive Page] for comments prior to 2009.'''

	+ ------ + ''2010-11-12 22:07:30'' [[nbsp]] Drove past the place once before realizing that it's hard to see the sign from the street at night and that you have to drive to the back of the building to park, where there is a brightly lit sign showing the entrance. Waited 20 minutes for a table which is understandable for a Friday night at 7PM and it turned out to be worth the wait. Started with a straight shot of Don Julio Añejo - they have a decent selection of tequila and it was $1.75 cheaper than at Blue Cactus. Had a nice salad of sliced avocados on a bed of leafy greens, some iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, sprouts and crunchy cucumbers which I chose to eat with fresh squeezed lime and oil and vinegar. My entree was a Blanco y Negro - two chicken enchiladas, one with a cream sauce and the other with mole, accompanied by beans and rice. Very tasty! The menu does not have a huge selection of entrees compared to Monte Alban, but that's fine because it's done right. My husband and I split a Kahlua Pie for dessert which was yummy, not too sweet. Hard to believe some of the previous negative comments. A thumbs up for this place. --["Users/KairakuShugisha"]

The menu is limited and you pay for extra chips and salsa. The food is fairly authentic Mexican and, if it hadn't been for the very sobering un-Mexican prices and lack of jalapenos on the table, I might have even thought for a moment I had crossed the border. Oh well. The place isn't perfect, but I will definitely eat here again. --["Users/ChristineH"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-10-27 16:29:26'' [[nbsp]] Went to Maria's again recently with some more friends who wanted to try it. Apparently word gets around about their food being good - which is great for Maria's. However, as has been our past experiences, the service was lacking. While very friendly, it was too slow. To talk about the "slow pace" is fine for when you're actually enjoying the food/drinks. However, to have to wait nearly an hour for food to reach the table is bad. Having lived in Mexico and receiving wonderful, fast service in the restaurants there, reading over-generalizations making it sound like bad service should be acceptable because it's some kind of "laid back" Mexican culture thing that Americans just don't understand isn't going to cut it with me. We never expect miracle service when we go out to eat and are very patient people but it is not "misguided misunderstanding" to expect the food you ordered to arrive in at least a somewhat timely fashion. As far as the food this night, it was good just as it usually is. Once again, their wonderful mole was the night's stand-out among our dishes. --["Users/JJMO"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-10-17 15:23:26'' [[nbsp]] One more thing about the "slow pace." That's one of the reasons I love Maria's. I don't want to be rushed in and out of a restaurant. I want to savor the ambiance and enjoy the company of the people I am with. If you want a quick meal...don't go to Maria's. + If you have ever been to Mexico, you know that the people are very laid back and slow paced as part of their nature. So, expect to spend some time and enjoy your meal and the people who you have brought and your drinks. I think we as a nation are in too much of a rush, even on a Saturday night. We need to be much more relaxed and you will learn to enjoy life so much more. It seems that the expectations that some of the diners here who have posted have a misguided understanding about the Mexican culture as there are too many chains of Mexican Food...oh but wait, they don't make it here either. Chi Chi's is gone, I think Don Pablo's has come and gone too. It tells me that the true Mexican lovers support great places like Maria's and the other real Mexican restaurants. (If you are a west-sider and dont have the time to drive to Webster, try Chilango's in Spencerport. The chef is from Mexico City and makes some great guacamole.) --["Users/dplunkett"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-10-17 15:12:20'' [[nbsp]] I am flabergasted by some of these negative comments. I have been going to Maria's for as long as I can remember (and that's a long time). I actually remember going to the "disco" in the old church above Maria's. Ah, reminiscing. Getting back to the subject. I grew up in San Diego. My idea of a weekend get away was driving 45 minutes into Mexico and enjoying some real Mexican food prepared the way it should be prepared. It was the best. When I moved to Rochester, I was brought to Maria's to try their food. Instantly, I felt at home. The food was fantastic. The servings sizes were huge. The drinks exceptional. I think the true mexican food lovers will always love Maria's. The people who think and even mention "Taco Bell" should never travel to Mexico and I feel they will be very disappointed...unless the stay in (the Americanized city) Cancun. + + If you tuly want a treat and exceptional food, try Maria's. Be ready for something different, but wonderful. Put yourself in a little cantina in Ensenada listening to the distant waves of the ocean. It's the restaurant that everyone talks about that is tucked out of the way, but is a gem when you find it. That's what it brings me back to, and I hope that you have the same experiences that I have had for so many years. + + I am going there tonight and I now live 45 minutes away. I have tried other places around and there are a couple that are not too bad. But this is truly an experience you have to have. Once you have had it, you will be spoiled for any other Mexican, unless you actually go there. + + Buenos Suerte! --["Users/dplunkett"]

The sauces they use are more complex than you might find at other Mexican restaurants, consequently I was very impressed. A great standout was the Hole Mole - the thickness of the chips and the cheese make a great combo, and the guacamole is fantastic. Portions are good and reasonably priced. Love the ambiance, love the location, and the service and staff were fantastic. --["Users/MarcusKroll"]

Maria's popularity is baffling. --["RochCon"] - ------ - ''2007-02-01 15:52:54'' [[nbsp]] It's popular because it's great. Slow service is part of the experience.

Thanks! --["GazAker"] - ------ - ''2007-03-12 11:13:14'' [[nbsp]] Guess you either love it or hate it. Yes, it's grungy, and service can be slow on busy nights. But the food is decent.

I was brought there on two different occasions by people who said how great it was and I have nothing good to say about it. The service was horrible (which is saying something since I actually like slow service and not being rushed - I don't like sitting for 20 minutes without a drink or longer without anything to eat). And the food was fair the one time and poor the other. I will say the guac was decent but that's not enough to go back for. --["JoelCornell"] - ------ - ''2007-07-14 23:32:57'' [[nbsp]] A terrible meal! Food was not fresh tasting or flavorful. Thank goodness the Margarita was strong. Place felt dirty and sticky. And the packing tape holding my table together was so very charming and classy. I used to love Maria’s a long time ago, but I will not return. Those of you still hooked on Maria's need to go elsewhere you can get better food at the same price. --["RalphMeranto"] - ------ - ''2007-08-29 17:47:05'' [[nbsp]] Hey, Ralph, I seem to be shadowing you here as your Greek chorus. I agree that Maria's is not worth any kind of a drive. If you live nearby and are desperate to eat, fine, go eat, but outside of that Empire Blvd. stretch, I'm not sure it's worth the gas and time. Ironic because Empire Blvd. and Ridge Rd. up in that area of Webster are growing some wonderful other restaurants: ASIAN! --["KatieSchmitz"] - ------ - ''2007-08-30 10:42:16'' [[nbsp]] I have never had an amazing meal here. I have tried it 3 times, the food was never awful, but nothing was ever spectacular. The decor is run down and the entire "church mall" should see the wrecking ball. There are much better Mexican restaurants in Rochester. --["users/MrRochester"] - ------ - ''2007-09-07 19:20:43'' [[nbsp]] Been here a few times and am always disappointed. I'm willing to be they have the worst margarita's in all New York State. --["MarcVera"] - ------ - ''2007-09-07 20:45:00'' [[nbsp]] I used to call Maria's "Salena's with more cheese" and that's still the case, as both restaurants' service has gone downhill in recent years, and their food has remained the same - good but not great. --["McgMatt"] - ------ - ''2007-10-04 14:34:25'' [[nbsp]] As a native to Rochester I can not understand the negative reviews. I have been to Mexico and I do actually know a few of the family that manages Maria's. I could not be happy without Maria's ‘Holy Mole’ and chips, the salsa is especially spicy and tangy, the free chips are homemade and not store bought. The food is above average, the prices still are great, and the location is more or less more like a traditional Mexican restaurant. The margaritas are a town favorite. My family gets dinner there at least 3x a month and I like the food so much that it is a regular staple. We all have different tastes, but I really can't get much into the commercialized chain restaurants. If you ever get a chance to go there ask for the recommended favorites. BTW Maria’s was officially rated as a 4 star restaurant a few years back. I agree with the professionals. --["JoshKleppe"]	+ '''ADMIN NOTE: Comments previous to 2008 are now archived at ["Maria's Mexican Restaurant/Comments"]'''

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-21 14:01:51'' [[nbsp]] Living in Tucson, traveling in Mexico, eating plenty of the real-deal Mexican food off of carts, in cantinas, and in fancy restaurants, Maria's has always been and may always be, the closest thing to abuela slapping tortillas in the corner watching her telenovela as you're going to get in Rochester. Consider ourselves lucky. Give me Maria's shredded beef taco any day of the week. I only wish they'd bring tamales back to the menu. --["Users/KRMartin"]

In turn, the service has started to lack. + + I remember going to Maria's back in the day when the bartender was this old guy who whipped up the best margaritas in the world and he knew it. The waitresses were chock full of sass and the food was ungodly delicious. I particularly remember one Cinco de Mayo where it was just crazy in there. I think even the waitresses were dipping into the margaritas. Everyone was laughing and having a blast. It was one of the best dining experiences I've had. + + Today, the bartender seems to hate his job and the younger (newer staff) seem more interested in each other than anything else. They're pimping Kid's Meals. Sure, the old waitresses are there but the sass is gone. They know they've made it and, maybe (just maybe), they're going to rest on their laurels for awhile. Can I blame them? No.. They've worked their butts off to afford that Porsche in the parking lot. Is the food still good? Yes, but inconsistencies are mounting. + + I guess it was bound to happen. The guard is starting to change. I'll keep going to Maria's but I'm beginning to be convinced that it will never be that scrappy, underdog restaurant doing it's best to make it big. --["Users/BatGuano"]

I just moved from California (Berkeley actually - so I am used to some pretty good food - especially good Mexican). I've also traveled to Southern Mexico, and fell in love with the real authentic stuff. Let me say...I've been here for a year now, and thought Monte Alban in Irondequoit was the best I could get on this side of the country (which is very sad considering it is way too salty, and tastes like taco bell). I recently discovered Maria's and had to go back to the kitchen to thank the chef myself. I go all the time now, and can't get enough. I've never experienced slow service there, or food any less than spectacular. And yes, the mole with guacamole is phenomenal!! Everything is made from scratch, the tortillas alone would be worth it...all fresh and grilled. Mmmmm... I'm hungry just thinking about it. + + I can only imagine that all these bad reviews are from people who have never been out of Crapchester and don't know what good food is. At least not good Mexican!! Maria's is even more authentic than some of my favorite restaurants in CA. Eating there almost makes it worth it to be stuck in this godforsaken hellhole of a town. + + *Hint* + Maria's may under salt some of their food, which is how restaurants SHOULD do it. I've noticed that a lot of Rochester "restaurants" salt their food so much it becomes inedible. If you find the flavor a bit bland a sprinkle of salt brings out the fresh natural delicious flavors quite nicely. + + As for the decor...I am a designer and so I realize that Maria's is not some trendy spot as far as decor goes. So WHAT??!?! It feels like walking into a quaint little restaurant in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. It's just perfect in every way - from their friendly servers to their sweet and kind bussers. It's also very vegetarian friendly. + + Okay...gotta run to lunch at Maria's with my friend from Puerto Rico. Yup, she loves it too. --["Users/EmilySandstrom"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-03-21 20:13:20'' [[nbsp]] My wife and I read the mostly negative reviews of this place but went anyway on a friend's strong recommendation. We honestly wanted to like the place but unfortunately found the reviews to be more accurate than the friend. In all fairness, I have to say that I enjoyed my own dinner (the chicken mole enchiladas were tasty) but my wife's order was not correct - she had ordered chicken enchiladas and got beef instead. Although she was little disappointed, she was OK with this, which was good, because sending it back was not an option - unless we wanted to wait a couple of hours for or server to appear. We saw our waitress Valery only when she took our order. Someone else brought the food. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. Since we had no place to be, we made an experiment of seeing how long it would take for someone to notice our credit card waiting on the corner of the table. Somehow the party of four who came in after us had gotten their food way ahead of us and were long gone as we were still waiting for someone to acknowledge us. After a half hour sitting at a bare table with empty glasses we gave up. We finally had to get up and walk over to someone at the cash register to pay. The guy who rung us up said nothing when I mentioned the lengthy wait. And yes - they DO charge for chips and salsa they automatically set on your table when you're seated. My strong advice would be to go to Monte Alban in Irondequoit instead. --["Users/guitardude"]

After now living in Rochester now for 16 months my wife have developed the saying "it's good for Rochester". Salena's is "good for Rochester" but so far that is the only passable Mexican cuisine we have found here.

	+ ------ + ''2008-11-16 22:57:19'' [[nbsp]] My wife and I dined here on 11/15/08. Good luck trying to find this place. It's located in the basement of a converted church which has almost ZERO signage. The concept is cool, I guess, but it's in the basement with no atmosphere....and it was a 100 freaking degrees in that place. My wife is always cold - she was sweating. The service is TERRIBLE. After a 20 minute wait (there were 12 tables open - not snough servers), we were seated and thrown two menus. When she (the server) finally came around (15 minutes later), she didn't explain the fact that on the VERY LIMITED MENU, nothing came with the burrito plate....other than...yup....a burrito slapped down in the middle of the plate. The chicken burrito was boiled chicken (with NO FLAVOR or SEASONINGS) wrapped in a tortilla. We had to ask, after the fact, for cheese (which she never brought), onions, lettuce and tomatoes....and sour cream for $1.50. My wife ordered a glass of wine - it came in a min-airplane sized bottle (white). When she ordered a second, the server brought red. When we brought this to her attention....she instructed my wife as to where the cooler was (a few tables away from us - in the dining room)....that she could get it herself. The service was the worst I've ever had - thr food sucked and the atmosphere very odd. Save yourself the misery. McDonalds' would have been better. We left a $1 tip on a $30 bill - - I wonder if the server got the idea that she sucked! --["Users/ClarkGriswald"]

I could not be happy without Maria's ‘Holy Mole’ and chips, the salsa is especially spicy and tangy, the free chips are homemade and not store bought. The food is above average, the prices still are great, and the location is more or less more like a traditional Mexican restaurant. The margaritas are a town favorite. My family gets dinner there at least 3x a month and I like the food so much that it is a regular staple. We all have different tastes, but I really can't get much into the commercialized chain restaurants. If you ever get a chance to go there ask for the recommended favorites.

	+ ------ + ''2007-03-22 22:15:42'' [[nbsp]] I don't understand the appeal of this place. I was brought there on two different occasions by people who said how great it was and I have nothing good to say about it. The service was horrible (which is saying something since I actually like slow service and not being rushed - I don't like sitting for 20 minutes without a drink or longer without anything to eat). And the food was fair the one time and poor the other. I will say the guac was decent but that's not enough to go back for. --["JoelCornell"]

	+ ------ + ''2006-09-18 09:00:49'' [[nbsp]] After liking Salena's and finding out that Maria's use to be the original restaurant, I assumed they would be better. I found the portions of the sides to be abnormally small, the service was excessively slow, and the location's upkeep was lacking. The place was surprisingly busy and after eating here, I don't see why, I don't plan on coming back again. --["TravisOwens"]
