    Living in socal has spoilt us when it comes mexican food but we were very happy to find this place. It's clean, the staff was really courteous and friendly and the food was really good. The salsa they served with our chips was delicious with the right amount of spice, the bean cheese burrito was on point and delicious, the tacos was good, and so was the Chile Arellano burrito. I was pleasantly surprised they make their horchata fresh. I really enjoyed the fact that everything was made fresh. For Nor Cal, this was really, really good, and I would definitely go back again.

    I've been coming to Dona Maria for around 10 years now and they have never changed! They still have all my favorites, one of them is Super CRISPY SHREDDED CHICKEN TACO!! It's juicy but crunchy and of course everything else is delicious too. The salad and sauces are hot but filled with fresh flavor and the wet burritos are big enough to split with a friend. THE BEST little spot ever! Staff is always quick and sweet. The soup is also a must, hot or cold weather- doesn't matter. I'd share a pic but I always forget once I start eating. Go go go!

    Best crispy tacos in the South Bay. Clean friendly family owned type hole in the wall. Fast friendly service. Dining room is always clean and not overcrowded. The shredded beef is heavenly. Best post surf meal you can get. Skip Taqueria Vallarta if you can wait ... it's 100% worth it.

    My father and his partner in crime introduced me to Dona Maria 10 years ago because of the Chili Rellenos. Fast forward to this week after frequenting this establishment with my buddy, I am still impressed. The Chili Colorado and Chili Verde are fantastic, Chili Rellenos are great , and the burritos are always huge and packed. The waitress that served us was friendly, had a good sense of humor, and recommended a couple of items she liked. A+ on the service we got especially because it was lunch hour. The restaurant itself is small but there are enough tables inside to satisfy a small crowd if you want to eat there or get your food to go. Either way Pro tip: The parking lot is very small and shared by a couple of other businesses so parking is scarce at peak hours. Street parking on Bascom Avenue is generally available with a small walk. (Worth it)
