Grabbed something to eat for dinner at Las Marias since it was somewhat near Azusa Pacific University. The food was good. Initially, I was craving chile rellenos but they ran out so I opted for an enchilada plate (1 beef and 1 cheese). It was good. The portions were a bit small. The enchilads were very cheesy, rice and beans were good. Service was nice and friendly and the place was clean.

Always solid... I crave their Queso tacos... nice and crunchy and full of tender meat oh my...once I start thinking of them I can't stop till I get them... the little soup that comes with it you dip the tacos in is so good and full of meat bits....my family loves their carne asada California burritos. The lady who is always there is always so nice too.. don't forget their green salsa. Love these neighborhood places! Thank you for making Monrovia great!

Everyone is so kind and helpful. Ordered a burrito combo not expecting it to be wet but I had an open mind ! I actually had not had one in over 10 years because of a bad experience at another restaurant but this was absolutely delicious. Veggies are fresh and everything is well cooked and seasoned to perfection.

Nice hidden gem with very friendly people. Prices are reasonable, and food is good. The queso birria tacos are delicious and filled with meat. It's cozy inside, and parking is easy. Great for a quick lunch or grab and go.

Great Mexican food! My husband and I accidentally found this place and we LOVE it. Their breakfast is delicious, as are their burritos.

Really good breakfast burrito. I added beans and guacamole. It had a lot of potato, but it was really flavorful and perfectly cooked potato and it also had a lot of really thick bacon to balance it out. The bacon and the beans were the highlights for sure. Good salsa as well, they have a red and a great. I do wish they had a really hot one, but it was still very good. Also, pretty much zero extra grease/oil beyond what is needed to cook it which is always nice. The woman working the front was super friendly. Also, they have chapurrado right now; I'm definitely coming back for that. She said order ahead of time because they don't heat it until you order it to keep it fresher. All in all a great experience, I will definitely be back before champurrado season is over to try that and the normal burritos. I wonder if they do tamales?

A friend suggested to meet up at Las Marias for lunch. It's a good sign that most customers there are locals and tradesmen stop by for lunch. I ordered two tacos and a sope with Al pastor, asada and birria. The tacos are good size with substantial meat in there. Sope has a nice shell with the other necessary components. They are tasty like a home cooked meal that you could come back everyday. My friend's combo burrito looks really impressive. It's really big with green and red sauce on top. For $12.75, it's a really good value. I'd love to try their menudo. But like most places, they only serve it on the weekend. But the lady told me they start serving it Friday-Sunday now. The lady who took our order is very nice and friendly. The restaurant has a homey vibe where you can just relax and fill up on some good Mexican food.

I was craving birria tacos so i came across this place on Yelp and they did not disappoint! I was greeted as soon as i walked in, which is always appreciated. Service was fast and food was hot and fresh! I also tried a hard shell asada taco which was yummy. I will definitely come back and try something else.
