Reviews for Maria Northern Mexican Cuisine in Edmonton, AB

Enjoyed a dinner out for my wife birthday at Maria. Food was great and they had a kids menu so even the littles could find... something they enjoyed. It was a super warm evening (for Edmonton) so we asked if we could sit outside (this is after we alreadyhad a table). Alberto and staff were awesome. They took a couple tables and chairs outside for the whole family. Nice treat toenjoy great food Mexican food and Corona on a patio in Edmonton in late July. Read more

Just had a delicious lunch at Maria Northern Mexican Cuisine. Lime Margarita on the rocks was perfect, not too sweet. Guacamole... was fresh and light. Shrimp tacos also fresh, simple but perfect. The Churos are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy onthe inside. Great atmosphere and music. Very clean and cool inside. Service was 10/10. Thanks Alberto. Read more

For an appetizer, we ordered elotes (corn on the cob dressed w mayo, macho sauce and cilantro). Really good and a must... try. For the main course my sister ordered the Enchiladas Sonora (red) which was okay, not my favourite as it was not wellbalanced, too much lettuce and not enough sauce/filling. Not enough flavour also. I ordered the Parrillada Picacho whichincluded top sirloin steak, chicken asada and chorizo served with stuffed peppers and tortillas. The chicken was the BESTCHICKEN I EVER HAD, cooked perfectly and juicy. The steak however tasted a little off. I really enjoyed the elotes and thechicken asada, will be back to try more as the service was excellent. Read more

Typically in Edmonton, most Mexican restaurants are on the smaller side, and also have a more festive interior. So upon arrival,... I was pleasantly surprised by just how big this restaurant is! Not only is it HUGE, but it has a more contemporary and classyfeel to it. This place is a real vibe! The bar is big, the Latin music is amazing, and the service is superb! Beyond the lovelyserver, the manager of the establishment was amazing! He was so kind and hospitable, and made you feel like you were family! Tostart we ordered the Beef Barbacoa Doraditos (deep fried tacos), and for entrees the Birria and Barbacoa. To drink we got thePina Colada and Lime Margarita, and of course for dessert we got the Churros! The Doraditos were super delicious and I loved thegreen sauce on the side, I totally recommend. The entrees came with fresh corn tortillas, the white onion and cilantro mix, ared salsa, and a hot and smokey chilli oil. Both of the entrees were fantastic, and super filling as you can ask for moretortillas. Both were super flavourful, and you could tell the meat had been slow cooked for hours. Although I usually LOVE mesome birria, the barbacoa was my favourite of the two! It was so savoury and I felt like it had a deeper beef flavour. The LimeMargarita was dangerously good, and I could have gone for 1-2 more LOL. The possible star of the night were totally the Churrosand the TO DIE FOR sauce on the side! The churros were crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The milky cardamon sauceleft me speechless. I truly can’t emphasize just how good these were! I had such a great time at María, and I highlyrecommend you pay them a visit. This place would be an amazing date night spot for you and a loved one, or even a gals nightout. I heard on weekends nights they have live music and that it’s giving party vibes, so I’ll definitely be back for thatand to try their tacos, more drinks and a couple other desserts! ????????????

Food and service was very good but was disappointed over trying to order a bottle of wine. They have a nice wine list but... ordered a bottle only to be told they were out of stock. Tried a second choice, also out of stock, third choice, same thing.Wasn’t until my fourth choice that finally they had it in stock. Read more

Came in for lunch on a Friday after. The restaurant was not very busy (Covid) but the atmosphere was very good. Would love to be... here when the place is packed and it deserves to be. We shared the Beef Barbacoa Doraditos which were fresh made, crispy andserved with a slaw comprising fast pickled red cabbage, carrots and jalapeños with creamy avocado on the side. A real hit withme and my companion. We could come here just for that. I had the Baja Tacos made with soft corn tortillas. The freshly madebattered cod was generously topped with fresh slaw and pico de gallo. Very yummy and filling. I would have like a bit more (25%more) of the excellent battered cod. My companion had the tortilla soup. A nice big bowl of shredded crisp tortillas,chicharron, fresh cheese, dry toasted peppers (poblano?) and crema. The broth was poured on top at our table just the way weremembered from our visits to San Miguel de Allende. Come for authentic Mexican cuisine and imagine you are somewhere warm. Read more

First off, I really have to give credit to the amazing service we got throughout our time at Maria. The staff was attentive and... super accommodating and patient. The atmosphere and vibe is more upscale in terms of dining which makes it a great spot for adate night. We ordered: nachos - it’s more tasty than how it looks in the pictures. Came out still warm and crispy and loadedwith toppings. We finished every bite of it! enchiladas verdes - I’ve never had enchiladas before but wow was this a nicesurprise. The enchiladas has chicken inside and the sauce and everything just went well together! ???? and sonora asada tacos -made with sirloin steak which was cooked perfectly. All dishes were packed with flavours and delicious. Will definitely comeback to try their other stuff! Highly recommend!!! Read more

Walked by this place one day and thought I would give it a try. Went with a couple of girlfriends and shared some menu items. We... started with the guacamole and salsa with nachos. I found the Salsa was fresh and tasty. We ordered a variety of tacos to sharewhich all were good. The only tacos I didn't really enjoy were the shrimp tacos I just found no flavours and I didn't like theconsistency of the shrimp. We also ordered the chicken and beef tacos which were great. I also like how you get variety ofsides with your tacos which was nice. The service was fast and our waitress was very friendly. A nice place if your wanting totry authentic northern Mexican food.
