Maria's New Mexican Kitchen - Santa Ana

I am at an incredibly delicious Mexican restaurant in Santa Fe with my good friend, Father Vincent Alabi from Nigeria. The green chili stew is out of this world good. They also gave Father Vincent a red and green chili sampler. The service matches the quality of the meal. Michelle is one of those people who “make your day.” If you’re in Santa Fe don’t miss this. They also have a 4 page margarita and drink menu.

Came for a Sunday dinner at this neighborhood gem of a Mexican restaurant and absolutely loved our experience. Good food check. Friendly and attentive service check. Traditional menu items with a twist check. Beautiful, art gallery worthy artwork and paintings check. Oh, and 150+ varieties of hands poured margaritas. The green chile meatballs are a great appetizer. Grande Burrito Mexican flag style was my choice for dinner, and my wife had the Blue Corn Enchiladas. This place is a wonderful dining experience. Parking is free, but navigating the lot can be a bit tight. Very highly recommended!

Beautiful restaurant in Santa Fe. A must go for authentic New Mexican cuisine and large menu of amazing margaritas I had the blue corn enchiladas a fried egg on top is a must. And for desert Natillas so good!!!

Maria's never disappoints. First, from the moment we stepped inside the hosts were friendly and gracious. They checked on us with a smile and were very accommodating. The staff was amazing. The food as usual top notch. Everything was delicious from the luchador margarita to the steak which was cooked perfectly to the dulce De leches cheesecake. If you are in Santa Fe this place is a must try. Green Chile meatballs and guacamole made fresh tableside. Highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant with many dining spaces. Great service. But the food! The food was amazing. The red and green chile sauces were each flavorful and distinct in flavor. The rice and beans were both fantastic and delicious. But my tamale was by far the best tamale I've ever had. I chose veggie and it had roasted corn and pine nuts inside. Well charred and delightful. It was the best tamale I've ever eaten.
