First time here. The menu was pretty extensive had good variety. The prices for food are higher, but also in the middle of downtown Wheaton.

First let me start of by saying, I have eaten in so many restaurants that serve salvadoran breakfast and carne azada. I have been disappointed by one but this one will be the second. It takes a lot for me to leave a bad review but the carne asada here was not seasoned. The meat was not what they use for a carne asada. Too hard. Not what a typical carne asada would be.

¡Que Rico! A great little hole in the wall place for authentic Latin American flavors. My wife is from ES and we took her parents there and everyone loved it. Huevos delicious, pupuas delicious, ceviche delicious! We’ll be back to try all of the rest. Muchas Gracias! Update… Lomo Saltado tasty but a little salty and oily but that may be the style… after all it has french fries in it lol. Prob would not get again tho. So many great things on the menu!

Found a hole in the wall gem! The birria tacos were very tasty and filling. Also had the plantain empanada for dessert, prepared fresh and hot. The hot chocolate is good on a cold day and the service is friendly. Very fairly priced as well. Definitely will return.

We always enjoy our food at Maria’s. The birria tacos are AMAZING! The service is great, the atmosphere is very welcoming, and it’s nice to support a small, woman-owned business. Still continue to come back for sure!

This is a small spot in Wheaton with good customer service and even better food. It was giving me a small family run business which are some of my favorite to support. There is some seating inside and plenty of seating outside (shared amongst other nearby restaurants).

I saw some negativity on this place but decided to check it out myself. I ordered the Lomo Saltado and it turned out good. I like the twist of using real potatoes as opposed to french fries. I will be back to try other dishes.
