Maria's Méxican Grill

"Not the best Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City, but it’s not the worst either. The salsa isn’t super flavorful, but the chips are warm and crunchy. Menu is pretty large, so most of your favorites are probably there. We tried the large combination platter and the carne asada platter. Both were decent, just didn’t knock our socks off. Place is clean and seems to be well staffed."

"My wife and I decided to try a new place, Maria's Mexican Grill. We got there at 8:30 on a Saturday night and we got right in. They weren't packed, but there were a lot of people there even that late. The atmosphere was a more authentic than the traditional Mexican restaurant. They had little geckos on the wall and this huge circular thing on the wall. It reminded me of being back in Mexico. Definitely really cool decor. Once we got seated, someone brought us out a bunch of chips and salsa. One of the better salsas we've had, really chunky and the chips were dusted with chilli powder. That was a nice touch. I ordered the small platter with a smothered chile verde burrito, cheese enchilada and ground beef taco ($13.99). My wife wanted rice and beans, so she got the large platter ($15.99). Same as small, but with an additional tostada and rice and beans. Lol she definitely couldn't eat it all. They had our food out really fast. Their tortilla shells are obviously hand made, little thicker than average tortilla shells. We really liked the chili verde. I wished the taco meat was seasoned a little more, but we're still pretty good. Overall, we like the food. The service, what can I say except it was exceptionally. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were taking care of. I'm not sure I have seen a restaurant with that many employees. They were definitely on it, taking care of everyone. Definitely a place we'll be going back to. Good food, great atmosphere and exceptional service."

"A quaint place with a fun and energetic atmosphere. Along with a large enough menu that's sure to have something for everyone. I was pleasantly surprised by the place. While I found the traditional side of rice and beans to be a little bland with my meal. The rest of the food was great. If you're out this way stop in sometime for a good meal. I highly recommend it."

"Great place to eat. Food was fresh and had food balance of flavor. Not overpowering. Mango and crab enchiladas. To finish we had flan. A great big thick piece. It's the best down I've ever had. And I've mixed in Spain for years. Get the flan, at least once. Great service, friendly. And they have a frequent dinner card. Nice."

"Delightful surprise in Mexican cuisine! The portions were large, taste was on point, and atmosphere is fun. Mole sauce was diverse and delicious. Vegetarian options were plentiful, including the beans and rice. Pina Colada was fresh and delicious. Our server was not the friendliest and made us feel a little rushed, also did not correct an ordering mistake, however could be summed up to a cultural difference and was not enough to prevent us from returning. All in all food was delicious and we will be trying the south Jordan location soon."
