FIrst time I went there, the food was flavorless and NOT FRESH. Â I came back another time, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and it was even worse. Â I even asked them if their salsa is made fresh on the premises, and the waitress said "yes". Â It came to to the table, and not only was it from a jar, but it was TERRIBLE. Â When I pointed out the problems to the waitress, she refused to make it right and was incredibly rude to us.
I will never come back to this place again. Â Do yourself a favor and go eat at 'Holy Guacamole'. The food there is FRESH and tasty and the staff is friendly.
I've eaten here twice and the food is awful. Â To begin, they refill the Cholula hot sauce bottles with something else that is the color of red kool aid. Â The taco salad is so salty that it is largely inedible. Â The salsa is bland. Â I don't know how they did it, but the jalapenos are bland. Â Greasy and salty and bland. Waitress was nice and attentive and the place is clean, there's your two stars. Â In a town with this many people from Mexico and South America, please hire some to run your kitchen. Â This chain died off back in the 90's when they were outclassed by authentic Mexican restaurants back in central PA, where they were headquartered, I believe. Â There's still time!
Review Source:Average mexican food, sub par ingredients. The chicken was mealy, dry and unsatisfying. Beans were from a can, and the rice tasted like it was instant minute rice. Slow wait staff, took us about half an hour to get the bill after we finished eating.. But its a pleasant enough place to sit, recently updated dining area and bar.
Overall, I'd say this is not a place to go for fans of real mexican food. You'll be disappointed.
I'm a local and I think Maritas is getting a bad rep. I've been going here for years mostly for happy hour but just went back yesterday for lunch & my friend and i really enjoyed both the service and our meals. As far as Americanized Mexican options in Stroudsburg there aren't really besides Maritas and I like it here! Best for wings, Margaritas, and anything with their shredded beef. Bottom line try it! Decide for yourself!
Review Source:I've been eating at Marita's for many years, and have noticed a decline it the atmosphere, the food, and the patrons. Marita's is more a sports bar which happens to serve Mexican named food, but it hardly earns the title "Mexican Restaurant." The food from the chips and salsa, through desert are all just mediocre at best. I'm not sure what happened to the place over the years, but since they reopened after the remodel, it's just not the same.
Review Source:I went on a Sunday. Â They have special like 30 cents wings, $1.50 Taco. Â Bad choice on the tacos. Â They have Ground Beef, Shredded Beff, and Chicken. Â I got both of the beefs, and they were terrible. Â They were bland and soggy. Â $1.50 you think that it could be at 1/4 of Taco Bell or something, nope. Â
The wings, not bad, not great. Â They only have 5 flavors and weren't cover completely in sause. Â Some wings had no sauce, others drowning in it. Â The Honey BBQ, McHale, and BBQ all pretty much tasted the same.
One thing I can say they have the BEST green salsa I have ever had. Â Lots of flavor and spice to it. Â I think I ate more of that on my tacos than the meat.
Marita's used to be great. Â I grew up going to lunch or dinner here every couple of months. Â It was never the best Mexican or even the best Tex Mex, but it was always delicious. Â That was before the fire. Â I've been back a few times since they rebuilt. Â It's gone significantly downhill. Â The restaurant itself has zero personality. The service is terrible and the food it mediocre at best. Â I would go almost anywhere else in Stroudsburg if you're in town for a day.
Review Source:Some of my first memories were growing up and coming to eat here when I was little. I've been here hundreds of times. I've met girlfriends here, laughed here, eaten here, and even had my church youth group here.
I will never go back again.
Last time I was back some douchebag ESU meathead was working the door, where he wouldn't let my friend in because he HAD a hat. Not because he was wearing one, but because he was holding one. After making him walk back to the car, he wouldn't let me talk to the girls we were with (who were standing 2 feet past the podium) to see if we wanted to stay, b/c he was afraid I was going to skip out on the $5 cover. What an insult. You can take your $5, and all the future business, and shove it.
In fact, if I ever come back in town, I will be finding you and telling you (once again) where you can put your $5.
You're a Mexican bar. Not a dance club. You have $1 beer night. This isn't NYC. It's Stroudsburg PA. You're not exclusive. Stop acting like it.
God, this place used to be awesome. So disappointing.
This is a respectable, but not great Mexican eatery. Â Atmosphere is a bit weak...seems more like a sports bar than anything. Â The chips seemed fresh made, which is a big bonus in my book. Â Salsa was alright. Â Had a chicken burrito which was decent...neither the best nor the worst I've ever had. Â The burrito was served ala carte, with no side dishes (which was slightly unexpected...perhaps the menu stated that, not sure).
The service was good, but by no means stellar.
