Spacious cantina with exposed-brick walls doles out familiar Mexican grub & inventive margaritas.

I can’t believe it took almost 4 years of living in the area for me to finally try Maria Cuca’s! The staff were helpful and accommodating, the margaritas were great, and the food was fresh. Not too loud and the indoor seating was very comfortable.

They have great food. It’s tex mex. Don’t go in expecting Mexican cuisine. We always enjoy the queso. And my new favorite is the veggie quesadilla.
Service is usually pretty good. Lunch service can be hit or miss. But evenings are always lovely and fun

We decided to give this place a try since it’s so near to home. I knew something was up when we walked in and the smell wasn’t right. When I walk into a restaurant, I expect to smell something tasty cooking. Not so here. But I decided to keep an open mind.
So… Here’s the thing. This place is like if you want Mexican food, but yet you aren’t good with spice. The salsa? Not spicy. Even the “very hot” one they offered in a little bowl was strange tasting, although my husband mixed it with the regular salsa and said it gave it a little more of a kick. The queso was okay, but also bland.
I got the tacos de brisket. The portion size was large. But, again, bland. Even just eating some of the meat out of the taco without the tortilla (which is supposed to be made in house but had that packaged taste), the meat was simply not seasoned. It also wasn’t particularly hot in temperature. Rice and beans? Also no real flavor.
I’m going to assume the margaritas are the star of the show at this place, because it seemed like almost every table was full of drinks. But as I don’t drink much, that simply doesn’t interest me.
The staff was excellent, though. Could not have been kinder.
Will we be back? Eh… debatable. But I’m going to say probably not.

My wife and I decided to stop in here to try out the food and we were not dissapointed. We were seated right away and our waitress was very attentive all night. We were served chips and 3 kinds of salsa that were really good in different ways. We started out with the queso and it was thick and flavorful. Many mexican restaurants have a runny queso that falls off the chip before it reaches your mouth, but this queso was perfect. For my entree I ordered the chicken fajitas. The fajitas were hot and fresh and very well seasoned. The flour toritllas were good as well. My wife had the 3 enchilada plate with one chicken, one beef and one cheese. She could not decide which one was her favorite as they were all excellent. We ended up with plenty of leftovers to take home for dinner tomorrow night. Highly recommend this restaurant for a nice quiet dining experience. We will be back.

Maria Cuca’s has been one of our all-time favorite Mexican restaurants ever since they opened in 2019. The food is consistently amazing, full of flavor, and always hits the spot. You can truly taste the love and authenticity in every dish.
The service is just as incredible—friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like family every time you walk in. It’s one of those places you keep coming back to because you know it’s going to be great, every single time.
If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, great vibes, and a place that never disappoints, Maria Cuca’s is a must. We recommend it 100% and will forever be loyal customers!

Fajitas can be hit or miss. Defiantly a hit here! Got the combo fajitas for two and loved every bite!
We sat in the bar area and ordered drinks and dinner and had an awesome time.
Combo fajitas were perfectly cooked, great amount of onions included, which I love. Went with black beans instead of the others and they too tasted great.
We’ll be back again, cheers to everyone reading this!

I usually have a decent experience here but today must have been an off day. Ordered my food and the order was wrong. I did my best to signal the server multiple times to inform him but was unsuccessful. Finally after about 10 minutes, I was able to signal a different server(who looked annoyed that I asked)and for time reasons had to get my correct order to go. Our drinks were never refilled until I asked and at the end of service nothing was offered to make this experience a little better. The food I ate a few hours later was good but I am starving. I have had a good experience here before.
I would recommend if you have a good server.

We eat at Maria Cuca’s restaurant on 377 often and we always have a great experience. Their food is always excellent and the service is second to none! The bar area always prepares excellent drinks.
We went over the weekend during the cold winter storm and were surprised they were open. Be we were glad they were! As always it did not disappoint!
We highly recommend Maria Cuca’s Mexican Cuisine restaurant!

Maria Cuca’s was absolutely amazing! We came in with a big group of 24 (work Christmas dinner) and they handled everything with total ease. The staff was so friendly, organized, and on top of every detail—our drinks came out quickly (and they were amazing), and the food was even better. Every single person in our group left happy and full.
If you’re looking for great service, delicious food, and a place that can take care of a crowd without missing a beat, Maria Cuca’s is the spot. Highly recommend!
