I've eaten various dishes at Maria's and here's what I'll say. For the breakfast tacos the portions are very good. You can fill up on one taco and the price is fair. The barbacoa is my go-to order. It is not greasy but not dry either. Like another reviewer mentioned it almost tastes like roast rather than cachete but the owner says it is cachete. It just lacks the deep barbacoa flavor. Maybe a bit more salt to bring out the flavor or change vendors? The chorizo and egg is good but rather bland. I don't remember how they make their potato and egg tacos but for bacon and egg they simply put strips of bacon on top of the egg. I'm sorry but that's not how Mama made breakfast tacos. She mixed the bacon with the egg! It's a 4-star breakfast taco joint that could be 5-star with just a

Not the type to ever complain I would’ve left a 5 star. Although waiter was nice, there was a hair in 2 of our 3 plates. Made us pay for the meals full price anyway. Didn’t even finish eating my plate after I seen the hair. Again, discount would’ve been fine or something. Not free drinks. Sorry

Had breakfast tacos. Barbacoa was suspicious. Most likely made with beef roast rather than Cabeza. Didnt taste like cheek meat ( cachete ). Bacon,egg and beans taco was good. Their red salsa tasted like it came from a jar. In any case tacos were of decent size and well filled. Service couldn't have been better! They were quick, friendly and efficient.

We went for breakfast off the menu, they also offer an all you can eat breakfast buffet for about $15. We had our pet 8lb dog with us and they allowed us to sit on the patio with her. The weather was perfect for it, nice and breezy, plus they had the fans blowing. They offer gourmet coffees and their prices are really decent. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

I was on the way home from Austin and wanted to stop to eat breakfast so found this little spot. It was nice inside but to get someone to take the order was long. After we ordered it was over 30 minutes to get the food. All we got were breakfast tacos and pancakes and a barbacoa plate.After sitting there for 30 minutes then we asked if we wanted chips and salsa. And the chips were not a lot for 4 people to eat from. When food came out it was delicious and flavorful but not the potato they were over cooked. Overall this place has good food and I will be coming back when I go out of town again I just have to make sure I am in no hurry to get nowhere.
