Capturing the heart of Mexican cuisine with a very inventive and personal approach, it's easy to see why Taco Maria has earned a Michelin star and its many accolades. Chef Salgado creates inspiring and exciting dishes, plated simply yet elegantly. His staff is patient and knowledgeable, welcoming but not overbearing. The restaurant is small, with most tables seated on the patio, and tables are somewhat close together. If you're cold, the staff will offer you a cozy Mexican blanket to wrap around yourself while you dine. If you're lucky enough to snag one of the tables inside, you are treated to an open kitchen where you can view where some of the magic happens. But, the real treat is in the food itself. Make sure to book early, as it's nearly impossible to get a table on short notice.
We ordered the aguachile and shrimp as appetizers, pork for our entree, and the postre for dessert. Everything was so so good. Come and try the aguachile if you want to keep it light, phenomenal dish. The balance between the sour lime juice and the guava jam/purée was incredible. Staff were extremely friendly and were happy to have conversations with us. Will definitely be coming back!
Amazing flavorful cuisine. This is fine dining, and it's delicious. Staff is courteous and attentive. I can't wait to go back and try more items. One of the best meals I have ever had.
