Stopped in at Maria’s Mexican Restaurant in Simi Valley for dinner and had a great experience. I ordered the carne asada with rice, beans, and a fresh garden salad—everything was delicious and well prepared. The place is clean, comfortable, and has a nice, relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a quiet sit-down meal. Service really stood out—Teresa took great care of us. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. If you’re in town and looking for good Mexican food and great service, definitely give this place a try. This place rocks. Local love approved. DC Rock & Soil — We de

The service is fine, and it's the kind of place you can get in and get out or have a long, relaxed meal with a group. The food itself is probably the weakest point. The seasoning is a bit off across the board, the eggs are tough, the tortillas are a bit stale, the ingredient prep is a little sloppy - but it's all serviceable. It's not bad
