Maria Cuca's: Reviews & Ratings
this place is so good, had the Amiee's queso and it is so delicious as an appetizer. Had the taco dinner-crunchy shell with rice and Charrio Beans! had the flan for dessert. You can never go wrong with the sangria margarita. The staff is amazing and very friendly, the owner comes to speak to you to make sure you are comfortable! Need a good place you will not be disappointed, good ambiance environment
The food was delicious! I had the shrimp tacos with rice and beans. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and had great flavor! Rice and beans were great and the chipotle sauce has a nice kick! Our waiter was very attentive and informative, overall great service! I love the energy of the restaurant, it's very vibrant and welcoming!
Good service and great food! Have been here numerous time and never disappointed. Love the chips and multiple salsa's they bring to the table.
Place was a great vibe with quiet but cute little seats/booths for date night or a night out with your girlfriends. Service was quick, Eduardo was great & friendly. Cucumber Margarita was yummy and adorable. Loved my grilled shrimp fajita salad. Lettuce was crisp and topped with their salsa made it bomb. We did combo of the chicken and cheese stuffed jalapeños. Personally, I liked the cheese a little bit better bc it reminded me of a spicy mozzarella stick but they were honestly both good. Definitely check this place out for Tex Mex date night or a night out with your friends or lover!
FOOD IG: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: Tex-Mex food served in Arlington and Keller. THE VIBE: way cuter in the inside than the outside! Green, reds, and black metal. It's cute! PRICE: ~$45 WOULD I COME BACK? Maybe... **** Overall Rating: 8/10 - The food here was actually absolutely delicious! One of the better Tex Mex I've had in my life actually. - I absolutely loved the chipotle sauce with the fish tacos. The tortillas were super soft and actually made in house. - My mom's chicken dish was tender and full of flavor. Also the portion was huge! - Our server was super sweet and informative! - My only complaint is I swear my mom and I had to drink a liter of water afterward I felt like something was just overly salty idk what it is. We never had to drink so much water in our life. A few hours later we were just gulping so much water - I would only come back to know I'll be suffering from thirst afterward.
Delicious food, friendly staff. Look forward to coming back soon Hubby (65) loves fajitas-said these are the best he's ever had
I was really pleased on my recent visit to Maria Cuca's, and found it to be a good new addition to Arlington's excellent Tex-Mex scene. We stopped in late on a weeknight and enjoyed beautifully presented options from their large cocktail menu, with the cucumber margaritas being a particular standout. Her Texas nachos were delicious, whereas my sopa de tortilla was perfect for a cold night. A really great hidden gem on the north side.
Husband and I have been regulars of another Mexican restaurant in the area but it's quite a drive from our house and I saw some posts about this place on Nextdoor in the Viridian posts. Decided that since it's so much closer we should give it a try. This place has seriously put a damper on my yelp posts because it is so good that it's our go-to now. We have tried both crispy and soft tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, queso, guacamole, churros and tres leches cake. Everything, and I mean everything has been so good. I am a crispy taco fan and there's are amazing. The portions are huge, even told the manager that they could cut back and make more money. It's a lot y'all. Anyhow I've also tried the house and premium margaritas and both were excellent and you "feel" them! Not whimpy on the alcohol at all. Highly recommend this place, even the three salsas are excellent. Just go!
We found this beautiful restaurant on Yelp while traveling in Dallas and decided to stop by. You will not be disappointed! From the gorgeous interior/ exterior decor to the gracious service and staff, to the delicious food it was all a great experience. And they make the most delicious Virgin Margarita I've ever had! I can't wait to return.
