Reviews for Pollos Maria in Oceanside, CA
Always a great experience going here. The chicken is amazing but the thing that we always come back for is the Menudo. It is the... best in town! Read more
Happily walked in today and ordered an enchilada plate. The girl at the counter with glasses and tattoos on her chest clearly... does not care about working there. The enchilada plate with red sauce had barely no flavor and very bland. I never leave reviewsbut i felt robbed of my money on top of the bad service. Read more
I've been to MANY similar style Mexican restaurants and this is far and away *the best* I've ever had! Everything was freshly... made and tasted amazing. If I lived in town I'd come here every week. Highly recommend. Read more

Today was my first time visiting and can easily see myself coming back. I had the #8 Lunch Plate (two tacos, rice & beans) and... chose to try their fish & beef taco - amazing! Cheers, y?all. ???? Read more
Excellent food and good prices. Staff is really helpful and super polite. Menu is extremely huge, lots of good food to choose... from. I sat outside because the breeze was good. You definitely won?t be disappointed when you eat here. Read more
The food here is the best Mexican food I've ever ate, the staff is very friendly and kind. One time, I forgot to get my meal,... and when I came back, they remade it so it would be nice and fresh. The prices are reasonable, and there usually aren't thatmany people. The restaurant also has a very cool Mexican theme to it, that adds on to it. Overall, one of my favoriterestaurants ever, can't reccomend it enough! Read more
In terms of San Diego years - we are "new to the area", having lived in SD county for the last 10 years we know what good... Mexican food is. During the last year of living in North Valley, my wife & I, have slowly explored the abundance of Mexican foodrestaurants in our radi south of the base. We came into the doors of Pollos Marias because of a recommendation from afriend. My wife & I each ordered what can be considered a "basic" menu item, Cheese Enchiladas & Carne Asada Plate with a sideof Adobada Tacos, respectively. The food was disappointing in all accords. To start, the cheese inside the enchiladas wasn'teven melted. Its fine if you put in a microwave before you hand it to the customer - but don't give the customer with the cheesecold & not melted. The sauce on the enchiladas wasn't warmed up prior & tasted sour - not spicy or tomatillo flavor like itshould. Make note we came in on a Tuesday & as every San Diegan should know, Tuesday is for Tacos .......... enter Carne AsadaPlate. *sigh* Enjoy your Carne Asada Plate how you like, but when you get Tortillas on the side with Adobada Tacos - eat Tacos.The meat on both the Adobada & Carne Asada both tasted like they has been siting there for days. Not only was the meat dry forboth the Steak & Pork dry but the tortillas it was served on had so much oil on them one couldn't form a taco. The one positive- the Lemonade we ordered was the best thing we had in the whole meal. Rice & Beans don't even reach mediocracy Save your time& most importantly our money - don't go here if you're looking for Mexican food that's actually good. Read more
