Went to try out the restaurant before making a catering order. Food was delicious, fresh and affordable. The location is perfect, parking available for customers, staff is super friendly and attentive. Owner answered all of our questions and servers were knowledgeable about the menu items. Dessert and appetizers options were amazing. After our experience at the restaurant we went ahead and placed a catering order for a large event, this is how great the food/service was. Go support this small business, will not be disappointed. Also owners are super sweet and welcoming.

Maria’s Cafe delivered an outstanding dining experience. The food was truly chef’s kiss and seasoned to absolute perfection. The pernil was a standout: juicy and tender on the inside, with a perfectly crispy exterior. But the real star for me was the garlic shrimp mofongo, easily my ultimate favorite so far. I highly recommend coming here with your loved ones to enjoy a meal that’s not only comforting but also makes you feel like you’re eating in someone’s home.

Such a cute spot. Went for a birthday party there. Let's start with the appetizers... Absolutely delicious. Fresh, hot, tasty and comforting. On to the main course. That pernil oh boy that pernil. Maybe the best I've had. And I've been many places for it. Rice was perfectly cooked. Would recommend

Food was spectacular; presentation was lovely; and wait staff were attentive and friendly. It’s clear this cafe is run with love and pride and is welcoming of community. I’m looking forward to my next visit! Also the coffee was delicious- strong but not overpowering and flavorful; reminded me of vacation in Key West.

Maria Station Cafe is set right off an un use train track. The station was converted to an restaurant. When you first walk in you will see their hot to go food in display. With an sit down eating area. In the back you have full dining atmosphere. With an Bluetooth speaker to play what you would like from your play list. I found that to be a nice added touch. But since this is an Latin restaurant my selection of Latin music was wlvery limited, so we enjoy what others was playing. Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful on picking out what good to eat. I knew what I wanted it was the shrimp steak and lobster Tail dish. I forgot the name of it. It's their signature dish. Ppl come from everywhere to have that. Even though the prices are reasonable. This dish was 80 well worth it I my wife had and shrimp and pasta dish which she said was good. We will go back again . Love the atmosphere
