Maria’s Mexican American Food

Food is great! but the person who handles the calls on the phone RUDE!!! because OF HOW RUDE SHE ALWAYS IS WHEN I CALLED OR GO IN I WILL NOT GO THERE!!! very rude people, not friendly at all. which sucks because the food was good. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Rude Rude Rude
I do not understand how they can stay in business. I guess that customer service does not matter anymore.

The food depends on two things
1. Who is cooking
2. Who you are with
There has been times when I have went in for food and I get awesome food, those are usually the times when I would go with my dad and grandma who are mexican. Yet if I would go with my mom and sister who were white I would get the worst service and the food would not be as good

The chips and two salsas are really good, the food I ordered was the enchilada/​Quesadilla plate which was good. It’s where the old Sam pan Chinese restaurant used to be. All around good place

If you are looking for HORRIBLE service paired with okay food, then this is the place for you! The younger lady is not patient AT ALL, and any little thing causes her to roll her eyes, would not recommend this place.

If you want some down home tastin’, savory, Mexican food at a good price, you just gotta go to Maria’s. I have been coming here for years ever since it was at the old location on Main street. It’s about time I Unilocal it.
If you see a bunch of cops eatin at a spot on the regular, you know it’s pretty good. It’s usually packed at lunch during the week with folks that work downtown. Good crispy chips and 2 different kinds of salsa is what you can expect to eat first. I’ve never had a bad meal here! Only knock I have on Maria’s is that the flour tortillas could be better. All the food is delicious and the freshest. They got awesome brewed ice tea, and good service. It’s located at the old San Pan restaurant site.
The pics I’ll post will say more than I could ever write. Most good, old school, Mexican restaurants in Stockton are located south of Harding Way, Maria’s included. So you won’t see many UOP students here unless they’re locals. I heard they’re told not to go south of Harding Way. Their loss and good Mexican foodies gain!

I work in Downtown Stockton and there are times that I do go out for lunch. Most of the time, I decide to order «to go» from Maria’s and then pick it up and enjoy it at my job. There is a reason I do this. I really enjoy their food, I love it. But what I can’t stand is their lousy service. I don’t know why I keep going back, but I can’t stand the rudeness. When I call to put my order in, the younger gal asks what I want. I let her know and she just says it will be ready in 10 to 15 minutes and she hangs up. She is just as rude in person.

Maria’s on E Market st in Stockton, California.
I started my day off from work with my Grandpa coming over to my place to go out for breakfast.
He wanted to eat at Maria’s in downtown Stockton. To many it’s just a hole in the wall and in the hood. I don’t judge nor do I think I’m better than anyone else. So eating at places like this is normal for me.
We walked in a it wasn’t to packed and found ourselves a table. Within seconds a waitress brought out our chips & salsa and we asked for coffee. I was going over the menu and picked out what I wanted.
The chips & salsa comes in a little Tupperware container. With two slots for the salsa, green and red. The salsa is pretty good and our chips were a mixture of fried up corn and floor tortillas. *That’s how I do it at home too*
The coffee is just standard coffee if you want better than look elsewhere.
My Huevos Rancheros was very good and I crunched up some leftover chips all over my food. It’s like my own variation of chilaquiles. Now my food was really ready to be eaten.
My Grandpa’s meal was a regular Mexican style breakfast. Rice, beans, eggs and here’s the kicker:) his meal came with French Fries :)
I do like thier homemade floor tortillas. There very thin and very good.
This time I was lucky to sneak some pictures of my brunch with grandpa. My Shinobi skills are improving.
Note: if you didn’t read my other reviews with my Grandpa. He’s old-​school no cellphones at the table.
We had a beautiful time my Grandpa and I. I do love this Man a lot and I’m glad we chose Maria’s today because we made a beautiful memory. Like I always say good food and good company go hand in hand.
Life is Beautiful my friends, choose happiness.
So yeah I’ll be back soon with my Grandpa.

I came on the recommendation of a friend and he was spot on. The food is authentic and tasty. It is a bit of a dive, but don’t let the appearance fool you. I had a carnitas burrito and it was one of the best I have had. Their fresh salsa is roasted and comes with home made flour tortilla chips.
