One thing I miss from living in Queens for a few years was the hole in the wall mexican takeout spots that had the queso enchiladas verdes which were super spicy and had the melted cheese inside. Some of the places around here got good enchiladas verdes, but not the super cheesy style. Well this place almost hit the mark. I took the chance by placing the order for delivery via Uber Eats. One thing to note is that I don't actually remember the last time I've placed an order for delivery, but I didn't feel like driving 15-20 mins each way to pick it up. Thought it would get a bit too cold when I returned. Unfortunately, the Uber Eats guy took a far bit too long to get my order (including spending an extra 10 mins or so looping around a roundabout way getting to my place), so the order came in like an hour and 10 mins. Welp. At least the driver was remorseful, but this is not the restaurant's fault. With that said, it held up decently well. It's definitely got a kick to it and you can kinda tell by the darkness of the verde sauce. I had to warm it up just like 10 seconds, but it ended up being perfect. The beans & rice were much needed due to the spiciness. I'd likely spend the money to come back here. Maybe I'll actually pick it up for takeout, but it seems worth it to just sit there and eat when I can while it's hot and ready.

Great food, service and ambiance, won't disappoint. The enchilada with green sauce and the tres leches was delicious!

Most authentic Mexican food I've had with my friends! I ordered the mole oaxaqueño. The sauce was rich and flavorful and the chicken was tender. One of my friends dislikes cilantro and the staff was kind enough to separate it from the guacamole and serve it on the side. There is also a little cat named Midnight that comes up to greet every customer. He is taken care of by the restaurant. He likes to receive belly rubs from friendly people, but gets scared of whistling sounds.

Great local find!! Came searching for a good local Mexican taqueria. Did not disappoint. Tacos were amazing, and the chimichanga was also top notch. Not greasy, flaky and crispy. Will definitely come back!

A warm weather day calls for an outdoor dinner at Maria's! Got my usual go to which is Maria's Burrito. A regular burrito but drenched in their mole sauce. Then I add their la diabla sauce on top to make it spicy. Chefs Kiss. The shrimp la diabla is also a good go to and that thing packs heat! The residential cat was out and about. I'm pretty sure I saw it last time I dined outside too. The cat is real chill. It just roams. A side note: they updated the look of their menu. Reorganized the flow of items, text size, and prices.

The food be bussin'. Authentic. Genuine. Flavorful. These are the words that I would use in describing Taqueria Maria's. We have eaten from Taqueria Maria's previously, however, that occasion called for take-out. I recall the food being rather good. However, it wasn't until we chose to dine-in at the location that we were reminded of how amazing the food is. While the menu inclined towards the Tex-Mex varietal, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. The ambiance - the music, neutral clay tones of the walls and flooring, and the sound of sizzling food on the griddle echoing from the kitchen - really set the mood and complimented the authenticity of the food. The staff seemed very happy-go-lucky and were incredibly friendly in their service. Beginning with the complimentary nacho chips, you will be pleasantly treated with two different salsas (verde and roja). While neither were incredibly spicy on the Scoville spectrum, they both hold their individual uniqueness. The verde sauce definitely has a bigger kick than the roja, while the red sauce is delightfully flavorful - it's as if Rao's had a baby with a puree'd roasted red bell pepper. We ordered the burrito and the enchiladas plates. The burrito serving was massive and generous, being garnished with a bed of lettuce on top. Meanwhile, everything about the enchiladas plate was spectacular - from the black beans, rice, to the enchiladas themselves. The same verde sauce for the nachos now appeared to dress and gracefully bathe the pair of enchiladas, enriching it with tantalizing flavor. This spice paired perfectly with the chicken, as hints of lime and cilantro accentuated the entire profile of the meal. While the saucy beans mixed with the soft texture of the rice grains to create a satiating meal. We also ordered a side of grilled jalapenos which were made to perfection - holding the perfect amount of char, whilst retaining the satisfying crunch. If Taqueria Maria's was a bit closer, I reckon that my family and I would frequent this eatery more often. I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a good Mexican meal, whether that be for lunch or dinner.

Taqueria Maria's is a small family-run restaurant in Jamesburg, where everything is freshly made. The warm service added a delightful touch to the dining experience, and the owner's attentiveness made it even more special. The taste of the dishes showcased an uncompromising commitment to quality, making it a delightful dining destination. A hidden gem for those who appreciate a personal touch in their dining outings.

Ordered takeout with some friends on Saturday night. Food was authentic and delicious. We ordered empanadas (which were good, just wish they were crispier) I had the Maria's quesadilla and my friend had the chorizo quesadilla. We split it and they were both fabulous. Other friends ordered tacos and said they were also great. Food was fresh and flavorful. Would definitely order from here again!
