Maria Bonita The Authentic Mexican

Food was average, but have had much better for far less Was over charged for my order and when I brought this up with server/staff member they refused to deduct the 2 from my bill. Have been to many other Mexican restaurant's where chips and salsa are complimentary, since our order was taking longer than expected we asked if they could bring us more chips/salsa which they brought out right away(un-like our dinner) We later found that they charge for second serving of chips an salsa if I remember correctly it was 4.25? I don't mind just wish I was told they will charge for second order of chips. It appears they like to nickel and dime customers far too much. This will be the last time my family and I visit this establishment, If you are looking for great Tex-Mex restaurant there is a wonderful place in Iselin, NJ where they don't charge for chips/salsa and there is also no fee to use a credit card as there is at Maria Bonita.

Food does not feel like authentic Mexican food. Chicken was dry. it just fell flat for me unfortunately.

Staff very friendly and attentive. Food however, not consistent. One meal was very tasty--soup with veggies and meat. The other dish had great flavors, but the meat was overcooked/super dry! The yellow rice was dry and the beans had no flavor. Disappointing. Gave it another try for take out presentation awful, Taco Bell looks better. So sad. Price per person: $20–30

This is the best Mexican food in Hackettstown, maybe even in all of warren county. I got the mole poblano and it was amazing! My boyfriend got the bistec and it was incredibly flavorful. 10/10 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chips Salsa, Steak, Mole Poblano
