Casa De Maria Restaurant

First time coming here and I don’t think I will come here to dine again. Unfortunately, was not a good time and evening to visit… at least that’s what I’d like to think.

Customer service:
There appeared to be one server (he was the only one we saw that was attending the customers). It took a while for him to get to everyone. There was a 4% surcharge to which we asked what was that charge for and our server couldn’t explain exactly why.
The unattended tables had used dishes and as we and other customers came in we couldn’t find a clean table where to seat. I want to think that there were not enough employees, but it does not make it appealing or welcoming.

Food:
There was no more chips and salsa.
Tampiqueña: Overall good, except the meat’s seasoning was not of my liking.
Combination 3 (Chile relleno, red enchilada, rice and beans. It was okay.
But what can you expect from a watered down “mexican” restaurant.
Flavor and spicy we’re definitely missing.

Drinks:
We asked for a Pina colada and margarita, and well, there was not a minimum taste of the rum or tequila.

Friday lunch. Not crowded. The service was quick and attentive. I recommend the grilled Mahi Mahi tacos. Comes with small servings of rice and beans. Very scrumptious and filling. And the Jamaica margarita on the rocks. Ooof! The “shared” mango margarita rimmed with tajin. Yum!!! The chips and salsa are addicting so be careful 😝

We had the mixed fajita plate and it was delicious. The servers were friendly and efficient. AND we were treated with beautiful live music on a sunny clear day.
