Description

Summary: Authentic eats, lively vibe.

Maria's New Mexican Kitchen is a beloved local spot known for its vibrant atmosphere and a vast selection of over 200 margaritas. The restaurant buzzes with energy, especially on weekends, attracting a diverse crowd eager for its rich and spicy New Mexican cuisine. Signature dishes like the carne adovada and blue corn chicken enchiladas are a hit, while the green chile stew offers a lighter yet equally satisfying option. While the food is a standout, the extensive margarita menu truly sets Maria's apart, often overshadowing their impressive wine list curated by owners Al and Laurie Lucero. This casual 1950s-style eatery is not just a dining destination but a cultural experience, serving up homestyle Mexican fare that keeps locals and tourists coming back for more.
