Reviews for Maria's Cocina Mexicana in Tacoma, WA

Food is OK. Nothing to write home about. I've been here 5 times always for dinner. Food isn't bad but alittle bland for Mexican... food and the portions are small. Every other Mexican restaurant I have leftovers to take home but not from this place.Wife,daughter and myself and my daughter was the only one to have leftovers but she doesn't finish a peanut butter and jellysandwich. Service is always good and they check on you alot and food comes pretty fast after ordering. So it's a give and takeexperience. Read more

Wonderful service, a wonderful environment, and wonderful food that will slay the emptiest of stomachs!

The food was okay. It could have been more traditional but unfortunately it wasn't. The salsas were good but the food needed... a little more authenticity. I hope they work on their seasoning a bit more. Read more

Had a lovely chicken street tacos meal at Maria's Concina Restaurant. Seasoned just right and generous portions. Guacamole was... very tasty as well. Restaurant is beautifully decorated and wait staff are quite attentive and pleasant. Read more

Took my daughter's here for lunch the other day. It was a little basic and bland compared to some other Mexican restaurants that... we've been to. However, our waiter was extremely nice and checked on us multiple times just to make sure we were doing ok. Iordered the chicken fajitas which were good. My daughter got the kids cheese quesadilla with beans on the side. There were morebeans than actual quesadilla! Read more

So I want to start off by saying I liked the food here which is a shame because I will never be back here their service is... beyond pathetic. Second time we've been here we were waited by an older gentleman with graying hair friendly at first butmessed up our order both times we came in. The first time we ordered a chicken enchilada and shredded beef we got 2 chicken andwere given a new one on the house which was ground beef... I shrugged it off and thanked the waiter. The second time we orderedsame thing got chicken instead of shredded beef, however this time they had the audacity to say we didn't know the differencebetween chicken and beef. I've never been called liar at a restaurant before but we threw away your leftovers cause screw youseriously BTW open letter to owners answer me does this look like shredded beef to you and also once again screw you forspeaking to me like that I'm not only offended but angry and will actively speak against your establishment!

Oh my God!!!! I do not even know how to describe how awful the food at this place was. As a Latina born this place is an... embarrassment to our culture. 15 dollars per plate.... food arrived cold, the chicken and beef were severely lacking in flavor,the black beans that came with the dishes weren't even rinsed out. They tasted like they just poured them out of the can. Theyeven had the bean goop. The Maria Bowl I ordered had 2 slices of avocado, the lime rice was cold and came in clumps. Will neverorder food from this place again. Perhaps they got lazy because it was a door dash order. Ugh... just terrible. Read more
