Having eaten in mexico city, austin, chicago, vietnam, and
Having eaten in mexico city, austin, chicago, vietnam, and elsewhere, taco maria is easily five stars. exceptional service, with precise and delicious flavors that, upon leaving, left me thinking i underpaid.
Fantastic food and wine selection.
Service is great as well. All the items are great but I would highly recommend the Cesar salad, the fish taco, the steak and the melon dessert. They were fantastic.
If I could give 10 stars that wouldn't be enough.
We had the most delightful dinner at Taco Maria's. Absolutely everything was 'as hyped' in the many articles we had read about this amazing restaurant. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant for us, and so yes, it is $$$$. Ho

Food was good and nice presentation but WAY too expensive
Food was good and nice presentation but WAY too expensive at $95 per person for pre set menu and no option for ala carte. Will not be returning to this restaurant.
The food was very refined and well done.
They used spices to bring out the hidden flavors in many of their dishes. The best tamale I ever had. Each dish came with welcomed surprises and new taste. The service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

We had such a fun night here !! My fiancé and I each got a different item for each course so we can try everything and it was all really good! I really liked the tamal a lot. probably my favorite item besides the guava cheesecake. I wish I had more

These were our expectations and realities with our experience here. I knew they were a one star Michelin star, I knew that we were going by to get good food regardless of what was served.We had both thought it would be authentic Mexican food. Instead

Food had its moments, but we were seated outside so it was hard to focus when you're freezing your ass off. The patio on a cold night ruins any chance of enjoying the meal and the heat lamps seem like an afterthought as they don't offer any respite.
Wow! I am blown away at the dinner I had at Taco Maria.
Everything from the food to service was exceptional. Here is a breakdown of the food:1st Course: Callo GratinadoThis was a dish unlike anything I've ever had. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the squid ink breadcrumbs were the perfect touch.2n
finally got to try this spot out.
expected to be blown away from all the hype and maybe I came in expecting too much? don't get me wrong some of the items are out of this world delicious while some are not. to start I got the Callao Grantinado (scalllop), pescadila taco, pork belly,

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Taco María Costa Mesa. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Taco María Costa Mesa at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Taco María Costa Mesa page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Taco María Costa Mesa to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Taco María Costa Mesa!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
