Maria's Mexican Restaurant

I just stopped in for a chicken burrito to go. The place looked clean and well decorated. The service was quick. I'm not sure I received the correct order. I ordered the chicken super burrito but I did not read the description very closely. I received a meal consisting of rice and beans and a sauced, chicken filled tortilla which had a ton of chicken in it but nothing else. It was more like an enchilada. I had to eat it sitting, with a knife and fork. I was hoping to drive and eat. It was good, just not what I expected.

If you have been around long enough (and are wise enough to notice) this life journey is filled with its share of not so pleasant circumstances and little things that just chip away at you until it seems there is little left of you. Things that cause you to want to escape your current reality, if only for a moment... However, every once in a while everything aligns perfectly and it is as though los dioses y diosas te bendicen THAT is how I happened to cross paths with Maria's! This seemingly hidden gem was a most welcome blessing in disguise. The spacious dining areas, lively music, most gracious, attentive, and welcoming hospitality of the staff, the lively but relaxing ambiance, and the overall energy of Maria's is amazing. The menu has traditional staples and offerings which stay true to the roots of its Mexican 🇲🇽 origins; the flavors spare no punches and rest assured, all of your senses will be throughly satisfied. Sometimes on your life journey you need something to give you a little motivation and assurance that your path is worth continuing on just a little bit longer; to realize there is also beauty and balance in this world. I genuinely appreciate Maria's for having reminded of this 🙏🏾

This Mexican restaurant is in my opinion the best in Reno (even though technically its in Verdi). Atmosphere is excellent and the food is better. We have been going here for years and is a regular favorite.
