Maria's Mexican Restaurant - Barstow, California

Great pit stop if youre into mexican food!

Very Authentic they have many options. A bit small and awkwardly placed in the middle of 2 truck wash stations they pull up next to the window to power wash the trucks as you eat... They dont have any natural fruit drinks u would think like piña or horchata but the food makes up for all this!

I tried the Garlic shrimp Camarones al mojo de ajo with rice and beans it comes with some tortillas your choice of corn or flour as always.
We also tried the pastor quezadilla which is seasoned pork meat. They sell imported coca cola from mexico

The food smelled amazing and tasted even better. My husband got the burrito deluxe and usually I don't like when things are covered in sauce because the sauce more times than not is gross. BUT not this time that sauce was good a bit spicy but very very good. The beef fajitas were well seasoned and had Great flavor. Beans we just the right consistency and the guacamole was delicious. Rice was good and I was able to eat it. Some time Mexican restaurants put veggies in it that have Lima beans and being allergic to them not good. Maria's was awesome for not having anything in the rice, I truly appreciate that. something I'm picky about is the ice tea, there ice tea was really good. There was no after taste and it tasted fresh. Our server was so nice, she was perfect. Well worth the money. and the short walk from the Love's truck stop allowed us to get out and away from the truck. We will be back no doubt on that. Next time I'm making sure I pay as they had Mexican wedding cookies at the counter. They are probably my favorite and more than likely would have been as good as the food was. ( Yes, my husband is in trouble for not getting them but next time.) almost forgot the free chips and salsa were both really good and fresh. The salsa did not lack on flavor. Highly recommend everyone to stop here for a meal.

Fantastic food and exceptional service! The señoritas hosting the restaurant were incredibly kind and welcoming. We tried a variety of fajitas and horchatas, and everything was absolutely delicious. The presence of locals and truck drivers enjoying their meals was a clear sign of the restaurant's great reputation. Highly recommend this spot for authentic and flavorful Mexican cuisine!

Don’t let the fact that they are in a truck wash prevent you from coming here. Was in town for business and ate here a total of three times. I brought work related folks here and they loved it too. The two ladies running the place are incredibly helpful and pleasant. The food was excellent. I ordered a different entree each time and they were delicious. Will definitely come back.

Friendly staff, had that home cooking feel from a Mexican mother I never had. Surprised that the best rated place was at this truck stop.

First time visiting this restaurant after a good friend told me it was worth stopping for a burrito. I parked my truck at the Loves and made the short walk. I enjoyed some chips and salsa followed up with a carne asada deluxe burrito. The meal was all around amazing. I was not able to finish the burrito. If you’re a truck driver or someone passing through, stop by for some great Mexican food.

Im a OTR truck driver found this place right next door to the Loves. Got 2 kinds of tacos, Pastor and Cabeza. Portions are bigger then your average taco truck but so is the price. Also got a carne asada burrito, ultimate style with sauce sour cream and salsa. The food was great little bit higher then usual but portions for the food made up for it. Will visit again if I'm staying for the night.
