Bonita's Best Taco Tuesday: Maria's Restaurant

by Alisha Diaz


I have been living in SWFL for about 16 years. Moises has lived here all his life. Throughout the years we have heard about Maria's great food, and how they have an amazing Taco Tuesday. For some reason, it never worked out that we could go, or we didn't have time in case they had a line. We finally went, and it was great! Let me tell you how it works.

1. You will enter the front door, and you will pay for your food. Tacos are $1.00 each, and other foods are available for their regular price. The regular priced food is not expensive, if you decide to get more than tacos. You will be given a number so they know which person/group gets what.


2. After you will go to the right to the bar. That is just where they sell all the beverages, even soda and water. They have bottled Cokes that go great with your authentic Mexican food. You will be given your drinks right then, and then you can pick a table to sit while you wait for your taco order.



Maria's is a very popular restaurant, especially on Taco Tuesday. You might want to go early, since they do have a line sometimes (especially during season.) Though the line may seem inconvenient,  it's because they have great food!

You can't beat getting great tacos for $1.00 each. They even have wide assortment too. I generally get carnitas, since they are my fave. Moises usually gets al pastor, but he also got another type, that I can not remember. They were amazing! We also got guac, and it completely "hit the spot." It was fresh and had great flavor. Though my husband is Hispanic and even my best friend is as well, I had never had an elote. I finally got one, and I loved it. It took me a little while to get used to the flavor combination, but it was great. I actually didn't expect to like it. I'm not quite a fan of chile powder or mayo. I would definitely order it again.





Maria's is also a family and friend run business. The owners both work there in person, and their sons cook or man the bar.  I do know the owners, but they did not ask me to write a blog about them. They deserve all these compliments though. I can't wait to go back!
