I was Kicking it in the hood, and waiting for my nephew to finish up an Yugi-oh tournament in the same strip center where Maria's is located. This neighborhood looks spooky, but what the heck, so is the nicest place in Las Vegas at night; Also, you don't see too much people begging for money at intersections at Nellis and Desert Inn.
Looking at Maria Market from the outside would be an afterthought for most people, me included, but my nephew insistent on getting a Chimichanga from this place, and I thought he was nuts, but he told me it was pretty good. So we jumped in the car, and drove to the other side of the parking lot, and entered the stand alone building in which Maria's is located.
When you walk in, you have this feeling of a old school Mexican neighborhood market, There a few penny slot machine as you enter, and to the right of the door is old meat market that has has small deli area. i don't think they sell their meat, because there isn't any prices front of them, and cook is consistently going to the cooler display to get Carne Asada to fry. In the back of the store is a small Mexican vegetable section, and of course Beer cooler along the perimeter.
What surprised me, the food was pretty food, and cheap. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't the best Mexican food I ever had, but for the price and quality, it turned out to be a good deal. .99 cent for taco, and chimichanga for 4.00 it's not going to break the bank.
