Marias Tex Mex Buford - Mexican restaurant in Buford - 33 Buford Village Way #311, USA

Lovely restraunt loved the food. Mole sauce is very authentic and delicious. The tables and booths were great. The chips were freshly cooked and warm. The guacamole was so fresh and delicious. The chicken was so well cooked i could cut it with my fork. Very nice and comfortable with small places and a bar with large booths and tables. Loved the back entrance, and it had no stairs. Easy for those who need no steps.

Called in a To Go order for a grilled chicken fiesta salad. What I received was very disappointing! The little bit of lettuce you see in the photo is the ONLY lettuce that there was. There were no grilled onions or peppers like the menu stated and very little chicken as you can see here. I’ve eaten here a few times and every time my experience seems to get worse.

Great friendly local owned staff. Fajitas and margarita great. The chips weren’t fresh that day. Salsa veggies everything else great. Gotta get the chips right for fans of Tex Mex, as in the title of the restaurant. Start making them fresh daily would be a great start. …….Update…….after response from owner……thank you for stating you would look into it, whether your chips were made fresh on site daily, or boxed cardboard. Please let me know when you figure it out. Thank you.———-update #2…..2/22/2023 actually today everywhere was annual Margarita day. Enjoyed. Chips are a lot better. Nice salsa. Enjoyed a steak salad. Beautiful day.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had a less than desirable experience. Tonight it was the service and the food. Our first waitress took our drink order and 10 minutes later we still didn’t have our drinks. Finally another waitress showed up to take our food order, finally got our drinks after waiting for 20 minutes. The food came out pretty quick, plates were hot, but food was cold and tasteless. I had runny, cold chicken tacos on tortillas that tasted like they were past their use by date, the rice and beans were dry and cold. Disappointing to say the least.

Plenty of parking by the restaurant, a cute area to walk around for a bit! Some staff wore masks. There is indoor and outdoor seating areas. The restaurant is big enough that everyone is socially distanced since it was pretty empty. We were seated right away. The service just was not there. The waitress was all sorts of confused when taking our order. We had actually ordered the ultimate fajita quesadilla but decided to just let it go since she seemed so overwhelmed. Chips and salsa - first one is on the house and then you have to pay. Guac dip very standard. Blue Lagoon Margarita: tasted good but lacked in the amount of alcohol. Could barely feel any buzz. We ordered the half pitcher thinking it would at least be a cup and a half each, however, it just about fills up to one cup each. For the price and the amount I would have rather ordered two different drinks. Empanadas: it comes with 3 and you can mix and match. I ordered 2 beef and 1 chicken. The beef one tasted good, but the chicken one was really dry and lacked in flavor. Ultimate fajita: good flavor and the meats were tender as well. It comes with 3 fajitas per order. You can choose from either corn or flour. So we were dining in around 7pm, right while we were still eating the staff starts mopping the floor with heavy smelling cleaning supplies. It was so strong it was difficult to enjoy our food because all we could smell was the chemicals. The food wasn’t bad but the service was horrible. Wouldn’t be a place I would come back to.

The bartender, Karen, apart from being the nicest one ever and really friendly. She recommended me her favorite drink and we had a pretty good talk. Atmosphere was okay, and food as well but let me tell you… the drinks were amazing. If you go to Maria’s, you HAVE TO ask to get sat at the bar with Karen! This girl is the best!

It was our first time in the restaurant, the atmosphere was very good. The waiters were very attentive, the food was very tasty, like homemade. We will definitely go back.

If you're looking for good authentic Mexican food.....this is NOT it. Every had no flavor. The guacamole look and taste like whipped ice cream. Ambiance wS nice but food not good.
