Marias Tex Mex Buford

Was in Buford for a festival and looking for great Mexican close by to meet friends. One suggested Maria's so off we went. There is plenty of parking and a great location across from the Community Center. We were just after the lunch crowd, and it was busy but not packed, and no wait. The service was excellent. Our server made suggestions and kept our chips and salsa full. While we looked over the menu, I noticed the prices are a good $3-4 higher than most mexican restaurants I frequent. It is Gwinnett, so very likely higher everything. Our neighboring table got their food, which looked amazing. The slasa is fresh and chunky, almost Pico style, and the chips are thin and crispy. I ordered the make your own combo with a chicken soft taco and chicken burrito with beans and rice. It was really good. One friend ordered the fajita quesadilla, and one ordered the chimichanga with black beans. We all enjoyed our lunch. Again, we found the service was excellent. Noticed a lot of families and l

It was our first time in the restaurant, the atmosphere was very good. The waiters were very attentive, the food was very tasty, like homemade. We will definitely go back.

This would be a zero if it was possible. Waited 15-20 minutes to get any service. We were a party of 4 and after waiting for at least a half hour, food came out for 2 of our party. Then the third. Waited another 10 minutes, and our waitress came out and asked how everything was. I pointed at the empty table in front of my spot. She went and spoke with another waitress, who argued with her about taking my food for one of her tables. Our waitress was apparently the manager, but you wouldn't have known it by the way she was treated by the other waitress. It was another 15 minutes before my food came out. Everyone else was done with their meal by the time it arrived. Nothing was comped. Nothing was tipped either. This is the second and last time we will be at this restaurant, as the first time was bad service as well. Not sure how this place stays in business. There are a lot of great Mexican restaurants nearby. Go to one of them instead.
