My husband and I recently visited Maria's in Santa Fe on a Sunday night. We made reservations the same morning. I would suggest making reservations as it is busy all the time! We arrived early and decided to have a margarita. The bar was full but there was a waiting area with small tables where you can have chips and... more

We loved Maria's. It's a bit tough to find the parking, but it was so worth it. The food was awesome, the service was good and Wally, the gentleman selling jewelery in the entranceway was super nice. We talked with him for about 20 minutes or so and bought a few pieces from him. We definitely recommend Maria's to anyone... more

We love mexican food and we appreciate having the right to be picky too. We loved this place. The margarita list boasts about 125 different combos and the service was really great. To start off, though, the chips were way too salty as was the sopaipillas. I think the cook messed that part up as I've never had salty sopaipillas... more

I went to Maria's last night with some friends and it was an absolutely HORRIBLE experience! I had been told by some co-workers that Maria's was great and all, so we decided to try it out. We got there around 9pm or so (they close at 10pm) and we had to wait about 45 minutes before getting seated. Since I'm... more
