Maracas Cocina Mexicana

So I’m here from out of town and decided to stop here since place has 5 star reviews…yeah Umm..I have had better food, prices are not worth it for the quality, and tacos were very greasy and fries were over cooked and seemed like they had no taste at all..and rice was hard, beans tasted over cooked…I showed waitress the tacos and she stated tacos were greasy because of the cheese when I asked for the cheese to be put on the side..just a horrible experience overall, not to mention we had to pay to park across the street since restaurant provides no parking for customers..

I'll start by saying I totally understand that they're short staffed right now. I went to dine in this evening, I typically order to-go. The wait time for dining in was painfully longer than the already painful to-go wait. The queso was cold / older. I had to stir it many times to keep it from hardening. We waited a total of 25 for our entrees to be served after ordering. Although my taco meat was warm, my boyfriend's food was a bit undercooked and old. He ordered the Maracas Special. The food here is definitely not worth the price, as I've had higher quality served to me from local food trucks. They're probably understaffed because of management. Last week I saw whom i believe was the owner just throwing shots of tequila down in the middle of the day while the staff was consisting of just two other people, both running around like chickens with their heads chopped off to get orders out. I believe with more staff, better management & a more organized flow this place could be a 4 star r

A great Mexican spot in the heart of Deep Ellum on main Street. Staff is very friendly and the Chips and Salsa are to die for. Will definitely be coming back.
