“ So, this was my first visit to Las Maracas and it will definitely not be my last! The waitress, Alliyah, was amazing and very knowledgable. The food was really, really good. They have a very extensive menu. They also have a great lunch menu. Tuesdays is Taco Tuesday but it's probably very busy. The give salsa and chips as you wait for your food. The salsa is home made and starts out a little spicy but not overbearing. I had the soto and it was really good. The shrimp are huge, clean and deveined. Its a huge place for a party. They also have BOGO margaritas. You had use hats to take pictures with. If you don't want to sit at a table you can always use the bar. Manager was also very nice and there is plenty of parking. The dessert was really good but i found the coating on the fried ice cream to be a bit rubbery. Other than that, i highly recommend this play. Don't forget cinco de mayo may 5, they have a party for the whole family. Enjoy!!!!! ”
“ The food was the best.We been to other Mexican restaurants before, but this is the best! You can tell the cook puts his heart and soul into it. I highly recommend Las Maracas. And the top shelf margaritas are the bomb. ”
“ So we were looking for a different Mexican place to eat and came across this on Google. The reviews said that the food was great but the service was not. And I will say that is spot on. We loved the food and are planning to go back again. But the staff is not very competent. We ordered and they forgot items. Not that big of a deal since we had large portions of food and the apps would have been too much. Server never really came back to check on anything. Prices were fine and food was delicious. ”
“ The food makes think you crossed the river into Mexico! Not the usual "Mexican Food" you find. Our server, Maria suggested the Birra Pizza, OMG you have to try it it was AMAZING! ”
“ We really love this place. It's a weekly staple for us on Taco Tuesday. Great food and good margaritas. Fajita Friday is a great deal too. ”
“ I've eaten Mexican food at other places I thought were good, but this is the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. The cook puts his heart into everything he cooks, and you can taste it with every bite you take. We got a top shelf margarita, one of the best margaritas I've ever had. I highly recommend this place. Once you go I'm sure it'll be your favorite also. ”
