Here you’ll experience California-Mexican dishes with a Woodland twist. We buy from local farmers - sólo los más frescos (only the freshest). We season our meat and fish with Maria’s “special spice” (a secret, all-natural blend you won’t find anywhere else). The result is a bold, bright flavor that’s uniquely Maria’s.

This weekend’s dinner special, Birria de Res.

Traditional beef birria, slow-simmered the way it’s meant to be, topped with fresh onions and served alongside de la olla beans, house rice, and warm tortillas. We send it out with chile de árbol sauce and limes on the side so you can build every bite exactly how you want it.

Pair it with October’s Drink of the Month, La Llorona: El Jimador Cristalino, orange liqueur, fresh lime, agave, and a touch of charcoal, served tall with a salted rim and topped with an edible cempasúchil flower. A little different, a little mysterious, and definitely worth a try.

Friday and Saturday only, while it lasts. Come escape with us this weekend.

Baja called, we answered.

Baja Mahi-Mahi: pan-seared blackened fish on a flour tortilla with avocado, red cabbage pico de gallo, and a chipotle creamy sauce. This week’s Chef Taco for Taco Tuesday.

Traditional, and worth the wait.

Thursday means Chile Relleno day at Maria’s Cantina. A poblano pepper stuffed and fried to golden perfection, topped with melted cheese, served alongside our rice and beans made from scratch, the way it’s meant to be.

Sip on the Grilled Pineapple Margarita while you still can. El Jimador Reposado, house-made caramelized pineapple syrup, fresh lime, agave, and a kick of jalapeño, finished with a Tajín rim. September’s almost done, and so is this one.

Don’t forget: Happy Hour runs Wednesday through Saturday, 3-6pm in the bar area. Craft margaritas, good light, better company.

Have you tried the Chile Relleno yet?

This one’s fried, stuffed, and unapologetic.

Tinga de Pollo: semi-fried corn tortilla stuffed with chicken tinga, lettuce, sour cream, salsa taquera, and cheese on top.

The crunch on this one is doing a lot of work.

This week’s Chef Taco. Every Tuesday brings a new one.

Pair it with the Woodland Taco Combo: 1 taco for $5, 2 tacos + a Dos XX L***r for $11, or 2 tacos + a Casa Margarita for $16.

Fall-off-the-bone, no exaggeration.

This weekend’s special: baby pork ribs seasoned with adobada, served with papas bravas and macaroni salad.

The adobada does the heavy lifting here. Come see for yourself.
