Maria's Cafe

Not the same!. I have eaten at Maria's Cafe many times throughout the past 5 years and this time was awful. As other post said the service is always slow and I have no issue with this as if you travel to latin american countries this is common. I will wait for good food and great service.

During my last visit I had the worst service ever. I usually go for breakfast, but this time decided to try lunch. I entered and a nice hispanic gentlemen brought me water and asked what I would like to drink. He brought my drink right over, then I waited 10 minutes to see my server. He walked by me 3 times and never said anything. Finally he came over and asked what I wanted. I orderd the quesadilla and I asked for no peppers and he said he would see if he could do it. He walked away and never came back. I watched him walk by twice and he never said anything. Finally I stopped him and he said "oh Im not sure," What do you mean your not sure. You didnt even check so I have no idea if I have even ordered. He walked away again. I didnt see him again. Maybe 10 minutes later a girl walks out with my food. It was made without green peppers.

The female puts my plate down and doesnt say ANYTHING! Not enjoy, Not can I get you anything else, nothing!!! I asked her for more salsa and another soda. She turns around and give me a nasty look. She brings over the salsa and as she walks away I asked for a soda. She brings it over and says nothing. As she walked away my male servers walks up and she said Im not going to run all your food. Wow, keep your issues with coworkers to yourself. He walked over and ask if I need anything else. I try and read the paper and enjoy my dilla. It was okay nothing like breakfast. and it took about 30 minutes for a quesadilla at 1pm in the afternoon and it was slow. maybe 4 tables in the whole place. I didnt see my server again until I asked for my check, I get my check and they charged me 1.50 for a side of salsa in a 2oz cup. Are you kidding me! I couldnt believe it, I love their salsa, but thats way over priced for 2oz. I paid my bill and asked for a box. Then the server takes my salsa that I asked for a container and throws it away. I paid an extra 1.50 to have my salsa thrownen away, Ill never go back. The service is awful and the food is okay. Hopefully the owner will change her staff and check the quality of food.…

Will no longer be a Patron. I have gone to Maria's Cafe numerous times throughout the past few years and have always had a good experience. But I will never go back again after this past weekend's experience. It seems as if they do not read other's complaints, because my complaint is very similar to everyone else's...Cold Food and Horrible Service! In our case, they had no excuse because the restaurant was not busy at all. I ordered the special, which arrived cold and missing the sausage...and when the sausage finally arrived, it was cold too. My girlfriend ordered the veggie omelet and we shared the corn pancake. The corn pancake was brilliant but not good enough to give Maria's more than 1 star.

Its funny to think that they offer all of the flash but don't take care of the fundamentals. I listened to beautiful latin music from the live musician but then had to endure terribly cold food. The only other compliment I can offer was that my server always kept my coffee cup full and asked how we were doing. She knew we were unhappy but I just didn't have the energy to complain about the horrible meal.…

Great Great Food! (plus how you can get great service). Ok- here is the deal with Marias Cafe. I have been there several times over the past 5 years and I have had both great and awefull experiences. I have always enjoyed their food and have never ordered anything I didnt like. I have had food brought to me cold and I have seen the confusion that happens at the counter with the running of food. I have also had slow service,from both server and kitchen. But for the past two years, I have never had a bad experience for I figured out what to do.

If you are there on a weekday, the service should not be horrible. The head servers are all quick and helpful. the rest of the staff is usually good...and if they are not, LET MANAGEMENT KNOW! the management really cares.

On a weekend, you have to try to get a good server. Just ask for Carl (the only guy server there), Sania, Jess or Alissa.

Carl rocks! I always sit in his section and he takes care of all his tables and keeps them happy. He will bend over backwards for you if you are pleasant to him. He is chill and will even sit at your table to answer your questions...if the vibe is right.

Sania is the veteran of the group and she knows her stuff.

Jess is good and efficient, though seems a little sassy.

Alissa is new but good. She can be a bit scattered, but she will get the job done.

Give this place a try. the food is worth the trip, and the service can be great too.…
