Maria’s: A Family-Run Mexican Kitchen Rooted in Love & Flavor

If you haven’t discovered Maria’s yet, you’re missing one of downtown’s most heartfelt food stories. Maria’s is a 100% family-run Mexican restaurant, from the recipes passed down through generations to the daily operations behind the counter. Every dish starts with family tradition and ends with food made with genuine love.

While Maria’s officially opened its brick-and-mortar location in December 2025, the business has been a local favorite for much longer. Before settling into their downtown home, Maria’s spent eight years as a food truck, building a loyal following one plate at a time. That journey shaped their menu, their values, and their strong connection to the community.

What truly sets Maria’s apart is the heart they put into everything they make. Their menu is customer-driven, evolving based on feedback, favorites, and what guests keep coming back for. Everything is made from scratch—from their salsa and guacamole to the proteins and sauces—resulting in bold, comforting flavors you can taste in every bite. The food is inspired by California-style Mexican cuisine, blending familiar spices with a California flair for a robust, crave-worthy flavor profile.

Located downtown on 1st Avenue North, right next to Halberstadt’s, Maria’s is easy to find and well worth the stop. Guests can enjoy dine-in or carry-out, making it a perfect option whether you’re grabbing breakfast on the go or sitting down to enjoy a relaxed meal.

There truly is something for everyone on the menu. From simple comfort options like a cheese quesadilla to hearty, loaded favorites, Maria’s caters to all tastes. However, if you’re visiting for the first time, there are a few must-try items that customers rave about:

• California Burrito

• Street Nachos

• Pastor Tacos

Maria’s is open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, serving up breakfast and lunch favorites alongside weekly specials and an ever-evolving menu. Any current offers can be redeemed at the time of your visit—just stop in and enjoy.

At its core, Maria’s is more than just a restaurant. It’s a family kitchen, a labor of love, and a place where homestyle Mexican food and community come together—one delicious plate at a time.
