Before the narration even started, I knew this would be a place that when I am back in San Antonio I will have to visit. Just by the visual of the store front, it screams good cooking and friendly people. Putting on my "To Do Texas" list.

Greetings from Las Vegas, Nevada . Love your video ❤.

Crazy how so many of us always say, "this reminds me of my mothers cooking". Mothers are the hand that rocks cradle!!

"Sit down, eat and shut up" I love it! I miss San Antonio!!!

I love how hardworking and humble my people are🥲🇲🇽🇺🇸👍🏽

When working San Antonio area, found this cafe soon after she opened and ate there whenever possible. Glad to see she is still in business and busy🤠

Thanks Maria for your hard work ❤

A person appreciate a person that puts their heart and soul into what they do! It shows

Love that place. On the Southside of San Antonio. You better go if your from San Antonio. You won't regret it 😊

Growing up, my buddy and I would go eat at Taco Haven downtown, in the 80's. This was when it was one quarter the size it is now, the laundry mat across the street was buzzing with all manner of characters hanging out outside, and you weren't sure if you were going to get mugged that day, but man was the food ever worth it back then! lol They had one of the best carne guisadas in town. My second favorite place used to be Blanco Cafe on Blanco and Oblate. They used to serve the brisket tacos in town! For fajitas, before they got big, Taco Cabana used to be the go to for sizzling hot fajitas and cold margaritas. It's too bad what has become of them. They've lost their roots and reputation. Places like Maria's need to be preserved and their traditions carried on. Most of all, they should be treasured. Next time I go back home, I'm going to Maria's.

I ate at Maria's this week and had to share a table with a stranger. Maria asked me, "Where have you been?" They are a beautiful family and make amazing food. Try the puffchilada!

My son and I ate there a week ago. We met a total stranger while waiting. We all sat together and all three of us had the Beef enchiladas, boy they were the best I ever had. We had a great meal and made a friend.

I've been living and working in the San Antonio area since 1997, and leave it to TCR to tell me about a place that I've never heard of before. I can't wait to try it.

Thank you.

This is my kind of place 👍👍♥️🙏✝️

I hope that I can visit before she retires! ❤️ The food looks so good. 👌

I went here this morning. Good food, good people, and the regular customers were friendly and welcoming.

Best Wishes ✝️🕊🙏🏼❤️God Bless❤😊

New bucket list item.

Texas hidden gem.

Used to be a place like this in Pasadena, Tx many years ago named Bertha's . Great food, inexpensive, authentic Mexican, massive quantities. It was a converted residence building on Southmore St., an unlikely looking place for sure. Maybe people were afraid to go inside. Didn't stay open long, but Bertha sure could cook. I think she just wasn't making any money and went broke. Too much competition perhaps. People should give places like this a chance. Not every good cook has a million bucks to put into a fancy restaurant; lots of eye appeal but the food is not so good.

Best Mexican food on the planet at Maria’s ! ❤️

Oh my gosh I want to go there with my wife and try that tasty food!

Looks like the perfect place.

Beautiful story🙏💞

AMERICAN DREAM GOOD FOR HER HARD WORK ALWAYS PAYS OFF

Love the Rail Road signs.

❤😭

It won't be the same when you two retire from this show.

One thing I learned growing up with a mother, who was a cook, and a grandmother who was a cook is that a good cook? Can always make a living and pretty much write their own ticket!

Going to have to try it out

I go there every Thursday for lunch. Food is very good and delicious. Prices are very reasonable also.

Pretty cool

Brilliant amazing

All this guys eating breakfast before sunrise 🌅 and i can't remember when was the last time i had breakfast before sunrise

Looks like some good food 👍

Gracious me! My mouth is watering . . . and I just had a big breakfast! 😋

It's on Nogalitos. This video really should have had Barbacoa Blues playing in the background. "I went down Nogalitos..... Looking for some barbacoa and Big Red" Y'all just gotta look up the rest of the song yourselves. Just like these little taco places, it's puro puro San Anto and quite possibly including Maria's specifically.

Um...you didn't show the food

That jenny bs tacos sounds delicious 😋

My home San Antonio

WHY DIDN’T YOU SHOW THE FOOD?!?!!!

Cute

Ok, now go out and get a bigger place so many more can enjoy her food!

No food tasting 🤔 Or food reviews

Puro SanAnto

To be honest I don't like Texas but... It is because of the hate based politics going on . With that said I watch your videos and have a renewed faith in not only mankind but the people of Texas. Your videos shows the true culture of Texans and maybe one day soon that will be reflected in the State Capitol in Austin. Take care 🙂

Looks like a good place to get gastrointestinal bloating!

Socialism and communism have no individuals freedom's strength is individualism

I want to go eat and visit Maria's .
