Cozy little taqueria in a picturesque college (down)town setting. Tasty ingredients, with lots of choices and flexibility for both vegans and meat eaters. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful, too.
The traditional tacos were excellent! Huge portions! Extremely fast service. Definitely highly recommend!
We stayed in the area, trying different local restaurants for three days on an anniversary trip - Maria's was definitely one of our favorite finds! The vibe is chill and cozy, without being too over the top. We brought our 11 month old with us, and the staff were so kind and friendly to her! She was all smiles the whole time. The staff member that took our order was very helpful in answering our questions and giving recommendations. I asked how the plantains were cooked to find out if they were appropriate for our baby, and he explained it well. She loved them, and so did we! The dip that came with them was amazing - my husband was not sure of he would like plantains and he really liked them! I got the three traditional tacos, which were delicious. They definitely didn't skimp on the fillings, including the chicken. My husband enjoyed his burrito, and the chips and fresh salsa were good, too. They have booster seats that can be added to any chair or booth, and there was enough space for our umbrella stroller. The bathrooms were tiny, but functional. There are two individual all gender bathrooms. I didn't see any baby changing table, but I only used one of the bathrooms. Overall, if we lived in the area, we know we would be back to Maria's often!
Second time here in a week. Drove over an hour for the Fish Tacos! The best
Maria's is my go-to for a quick and yummy meal. They've got a great selection and vegetarian options, too. Staff are always friendly and helpful.
What an adorable place! Quaint, colorfully decorated with upbeat music and a few regulars enjoying the atmosphere (always a good sign). Ordered at the counter, very friendly staff! Food was ready quickly. All super fresh & delicious! I had the Maria Jane special with beef. A customer jist walked past, asked what i was eating & ordered it it looks that good!
This lovely place is nice and quaint, at least while we were here. The food came out in less than 5 minutes, please take into consideration that there was 3 or 4 other people in the restaurant at this time. The nachos were really good, and for 10.50 I have 2 meals it was so big. My boyfriend got the 3 tacos meal and liked them so much he ordered some more to go. Would definitely visit again if down this way.
This place was recommended to us by a local. He said they have the best fish tacos in West Virginia! My bf and I had been hiking the C & O and wanted to find a place where we could have lunch, charge up our devices, and refill our waters. We called ahead to ask if that was okay, just in case! Very nice staff, great food, awesome little town! I would love to come back.
