Sopa Azteca, Wet Burrito, Chimichanga, and Enchilada Plate make Maria's more than a taco stop. The menu has a warm, saucy, plate-forward side that suits diners who want comfort without losing the salsa-led freshness.

The barbecue plates land with the comfort-food support system diners expect: mac and cheese, pit beans, cornbread, slaw, poutine, tots, and loaded sides that make the meal feel generous and complete.

This is a comfort-food pub in the practical sense: wings, charbroiled burgers, hot beef gravy plates, poutine, perogies, breakfast and shareable nachos all point toward filling food for repeat local visits.

The menu is built around familiar plates with substance: Prime Rib of Beef Au Jus, Greg’s Special Sandwich, Chicken Parmigiana, Braised Lamb Shank, and The Innsville Hot Fudge Sundae all land in recognizable comfort territory.
