I was craving birria tacos so i came across this place on Yelp and they did not disappoint! I was greeted as soon as i walked in, which is always appreciated. Service was fast and food was hot and fresh! I also tried a hard shell asada taco which was yummy. I will definitely come back and try something else.
Stumbled upon this gem! Cute little restaurant super authentic very nice staff and great prices. I had the Menudo and let me tell you. I'm a very tough critic and the Menudo was top-notch. Definitely recommend! Such a great flavor didn't even need salt. Definitely give this place a shot. ¡Me encontré con esta joya! Un pequeño restaurante muy agradable, muy auténtico, con un personal muy agradable y precios excelentes. Pedí el Menudo y déjame decirte que soy un crítico muy estricto y el Menudo era de primera. ¡Definitivamente lo recomiendo! Tiene un sabor tan delicioso que ni siquiera necesitaba sal. Definitivamente, dale una oportunidad a este lugar.
We recently visited Las Marias for breakfast and it was fantastic. I opted for the burrito with no meat and their potatoes were incredibly well seasoned. For any fellow potato lover, this is it. Highly recommend. It was pretty empty, except for one fellow diner, but we were greeted with great service from the woman at the front. Will definitely be back!
I've been here a few times now and this place has the best breakfast burritos! We do the bacon breakfast burrito but you need to add beans, it's a game changer! The staff is super kind and the service is fast! One of my new favorite spots!
A friend suggested to meet up at Las Marias for lunch. It's a good sign that most customers there are locals and tradesmen stop by for lunch. I ordered two tacos and a sope with Al pastor, asada and birria. The tacos are good size with substantial meat in there. Sope has a nice shell with the other necessary components. They are tasty like a home cooked meal that you could come back everyday. My friend's combo burrito looks really impressive. It's really big with green and red sauce on top. For $12.75, it's a really good value. I'd love to try their menudo. But like most places, they only serve it on the weekend. But the lady told me they start serving it Friday-Sunday now. The lady who took our order is very nice and friendly. The restaurant has a homey vibe where you can just relax and fill up on some good Mexican food.
