Found myself here again…. Totally love this place. Fabby and Christina were fabulous. The atmosphere was great. The food portions were absolutely huge as usual. You definitely get what you pay for here. Happy Birthday MOM!!!
Great food, good service, great company. A little loud but still able to hear as I am not yet 50 LOL.

By far our new favorite place to eat Mexican food on date night. The horchata is unreal. If there's a wait they will call you and you can check in to see where you're at in line. Go run to Target or something, it's well worth the wait. Often times they get us in quick.

We drove from pretty far out to try a new place and we chose this place based off reviews. It was disappointing. Their service is HORRIBLE! There’s sometimes restaurants here and there where you get a server with a bad attitude but my god , I’ve never seen a restaurant with mostly all the staff serving us have such bad attitude towards us all at once. We had about 4 different staff members alternating serving us.At one point when I asked if they’d switch my daughter's plate for something else because the flautas were stuffed mostly with nothing but onions rather than shrimp and there was no mention of onions on the menu…the waiter asked what we wanted to replace it with and she/ he turned around and walked away my mid sentence.The plate for our kids order was scolding hot to the point where it would badly burn a child if touched for even a second. We were afraid to let our child eat alone off that scolding plate and it was too hot to cool down anytime soon so we asked for a cool plate, so problem solved but they need to be more careful about that.My whole family was just uncomfortable with the staff’s attitude and stares so we tried hurrying up and eating so we could leave. Not going back there again.

I was overwhelmed by the size of the portions and plates. We sat at a table for 4 and it was too small.

This place has wonderful food, a special cozy atmosphere, and extremely large portions. I don't want to discount these things, but we almost walked out after we sat there for over 10 minutes waiting for someone to come by and take her order. We don't know who our actual server was, since we had three different ladies helping us through the mill, and then we sat again for over 5 minutes at the end of our meal waiting for someone to come back ( after delivering to-go boxes for our leftovers ( and allow us to pay. It has a real authentic fill, very authentic tasting food, *massively* large portions, and everything related to the food itself was amazing. The problems we encountered were mainly the wait for things to happen. We will return, but we came early for dinner, before the dinner crowd, and I am wondering how the waits would have been if we had arrived during the dinner crowd.

My experience at Maria Bonita restaurant in Orem was mixed. While the food was delicious and the ambiance pleasant, I must mention that the service fell short. The waitstaff seemed to have unfriendly demeanor and weren't fully committed to attending to the customers. Despite this, I enjoyed the authentic cuisine and the cozy atmosphere of the place. However, I believe that improving the customer service could make the experience even more satisfying for diners.
Good heavens! Their portions are huge! Food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Seating is cramped depending where you are seated but this is our go to date night dining.

They have some creative specials. The chips and salsa are great and the guacamole is the best I have ever had.

Atmosphere is loud and social. It is a small place and some dining tables can be a little tight.Food is really good. Everything tasted fresh. Rice had a good flavor. No fatty meat pieces. Enjoyed the salsa.Cost is 13.99 to start for a taco.15.99-22.99 for a burrito.Kids menu 7.99.When we came a lot of work groups having lunch and Mom's with kids have luncheons.

Really good food, absolutely horrible service. Read the reviews. This is not the place to come for an enjoyable night out. They are rude and pushy. They only want your money, NOT your loyalty. Good restaurants have both priorities in mind. This restaurant is in decline and will not be around much longer unless service changes are made.
