Maria's Cocina Mexicana

"I try to eat and review one Mexican food joint each week. Never been to Maria’s and had to navigate construction and backlot parking. Not pretty on the outside but vibrantly, colorfully appointed on the inside. Casual authentic Mexican cuisine. Today, I ate the best Mexican breakfast I’ve had in Amarillo. I got the migas rancheros with refried beans, potatoes and homemade flour tortillas. The special kicker in this loaded desayuno was the chicharrones tucked into the scrambled eggs, jalapeños and corn tortillas. That surprising crunch, saltiness and burst of flavor… man oh man was it tasty. Now I’m intrigued enough to return for lunch and dinner."

"The food was good, I had the barbacoa taco plate. The serving was perfect, the rice and beans was superb, the salsa and chips were fiery pero good. The waitress was super nice the wall pictures were very reminiscent of my parents choice of music and cinema. We walked and didn't wait long to get service and food, great place, go eat there!!"

"Amazing staff that are hardworking and you always get fresh homemade Mexican food."

"Hole in the wall for sure, you'll miss it if your not paying attention😂. Very nice set up, food was good, I had the menudo ( large ) and portions were more than enough. Very good and service was great and she was nice. Will be back!"
