Tiny portions, horrible food

by criticoneone

Went here for lunch on a Sunday. First of all we had no utensils and we actually had to get up and get the waiters attention for him to finally bring us forks. The portions are so small that I could have finished it in 1 bite. That would be the case if I actually ate the food. I took one bite and that was it for me. The popcorn shrimp was disgusting! As if they reheated frozen food. The tiny burgers had nasty meat. It was salty and had a musky taste. The margarita was okay, but it was so small. I will never ever go back to this place...stay away!!

• Pros: outside seating

Great Restaurant

by tonydking

I don't understand the need for bashing a place so badly. Take it from me: the food's good, the prices are far beyond reasonable, the staff is extremely friendly and very compitent, the margaritas are delicious, and the atmosphere is so much fun.

It's very unfortunate that most reviewers post their opinions only when they have an unenjoyable experience.

In my opinion, Maracas (and other great restaurants) can only become better by losing the bickering customers.

Maracas Bad Times In The Village

by JorgeQV1

Last weekend a few friends and I decided to stop at Maracas for their brunch. Their service, food - drinks used to be excellent but now they are back at square one. To summarize the experience:

1) 30 minutes before the waiter even came to greet us

2) THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO CHARGE $3.00 DOLLARS FOR EXTRA CHIPS AND AN OVER CUMIN FLAVORED, WATER DOWN SALSA!

3) Waiter got order wrong or perhaps kitchen

4) They monitor time at table so they save on the "All you can drink scam brunch"

5) Used the cheapest tequila possible to make Margaritas - we all know good tequila and mixer does no a yellow margarita make

6) Staff lack customer service skills - perhaps it's not staff but the MANAGER since it starts at the top

7) Ground beef poured over the tostada salad looks like Alpo with water

8) Water glasses are spotty - PLEASE USE CASCADE!

9) Utensils are tarnished

10) Get rid of those UGLY GREEN PLASTIC table covers = TACKY!

So if you wish to waste your money - this is the place to come to or you may decide to take the time to research and indeed find BETTER Mexican places as we have which are truly worth the money we need to work for so very hard these recession days.

P.S. The only reason I gave a 1 star rating is because if I did not the review would not publish. My real rating = NEGATIVE 10 Stars
