Every time I have the opportunity, I return to this wonderful restaurant. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is located in an area with easy access for everyone. The park is spacious and easy to find. The prices for the rooms are affordable for everyone. There is a wide variety of rooms, and all the food is delicious. It is wheelchair accessible, and the bathrooms are very clean. There are spaces for dining for couples, for families, and for other events. I loved lunch. There are various types of drinks, and they are prepared very well. They speak Spanish here, so there's no problem if your first language is Spanish.

Everything was very nice. We went to celebrate my brother's birthday on November 18th. He would have been 64. He was celebrating in Heaven. Maria Rita's was his favorite restaurant. He passed away April 24th of this year. The waiter was excellent and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this replace.

Love their fajitas and Cozumel shrimp! Service is great, we always request Valeria. She makes the best drinks! Definitely a must try.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Simone Coyle · Feb 2026

Pros: The food!! Oh my gosh!! It was so good! Margaritas (house) were also good, but we suspect they use Everclear vs. Tequila in them. The prices of our entire order really surprised us! Much cheaper than expected and for that amount of food! WOW! Cons: At first, service was good. As time went on, our waiter either forgot about us or he was too busy. It took way to long to get our ticket even after we asked for it. The place is very loud, so don't go to have a conversation. Even yelling at each other across the table, we could barely hear each other. Overall, we would recommend and we would probably visit again in the future.

Really great strong drinks. Excellent tacos. Be sure to go at off times, as it does get loud
