Pollos Maria

Better than home cooking (at least my cooking). This restaurant is my family's go-to spot for comfort food, Mexican style. The chicken soup is delicious, with a rich, flavorful broth. Shrimp burritos are bomb, filled with big, perfectly cooked shrimp. Quality is terrific, the kitchen is clean, and service is fast and friendly. Love it!

This is totally authentic Mexican food. No canned meat, all fresh and great tasting. Prices are good and the value is great. Great heated patio to relax at on quieter street. Easy parking all around restaurant. You can order on phone or internet it’s so easy. Order and walk a few blocks to beach for a sun down seaside dinner. Check for the daily specials !!!!

This place is definitely a spot that you need to indulge in. The food is spectacular. It’s like someone knows what they are doing in that kitchen. Their Shrimp burrito is the best shrimp burrito in North County, hands down. It’s quaint and inviting and outdoor dining w the heaters and fire lighting is perfect. Polla Maria’s top choice in my book.

Horrible food. Bland, not seasoned properly, no flavor even when using extra green sauce. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. It came with a side of rice and refried beans. Even the beans and rice weren't seasoned properly, weird texture to the beans and tasteless overall. Don't waste your money on their overpriced food, find a better Mexican restaurant. There are plenty others to choose from. I waited almost 30 minutes for a to go order and orders placed after mine from "regulars" were served before me. I wish I could give 0 stars.
