"Open for: Lunch and dinner Price range: $$$ Maria’s opened in 1950, and while the restaurant has changed hands among multiple families and friends over the years, they have all maintained the humble, home-cooked New Mexican classics that keep locals and travelers coming back for more. Maria’s is perhaps most famous for its menu of more than 150 margaritas and 170 tequilas, which you should definitely explore. The restaurant stays busy, so don’t be surprised if service is direct or efficient—don’t be one of those tourists. Must-try dish: It’s a tie between the tender green chile meatballs and the chiles rellenos, which substitute the typical poblano chile for two stuffed and deep fried New Mexican green chiles." - Karen Fischer
"Maria’s has been a Santa Fe institution since 1950. The restaurant has changed hands among multiple families and friends over the years, but they have all maintained the humble, home-cooked New Mexican classics. If you’re looking for red or green chile, be sure to ask which one is spicier that day to suit your taste. Maria’s is perhaps most famous for its menu of more than 150 margaritas and 170 tequilas, which you should definitely explore too." - Willy Carleton, Justin De La Rosa, Karen Fischer
"A Local Favorite Since 1952 A bit of a dive a mile and a half from Santa Fe’s tourist center, Maria’s has been a local favorite since 1952. The food is straightforward and delicious, but the place is at least as beloved for its margaritas—an eight-page menu lists more than 200 choices, all made with 100 percent agave tequila and lemon juice—which routinely win “best of” awards from local publications. Read more about green chilis. This appeared in the January/February 2014 issue."
