I googled a Mexican food restaurant near me. Mary restaurant pop up. The food looked good in the pictures. Had good reviews. So decided to go and try it out. I order posole. Let me tell you, it was delicious.

For someone that comes from Michoacan, this establishment definitely hit the mark!

Restaurant Mary's is an amazing, small local restaurant in city's downtown area. The decor is simple but gorgeous. Heavy wooden tables lined with hand carved and painted chairs, each one with a different design. The server was very kind and attentive. We were given some chips with house made salsa to start, the chips were fresh and delicious. The green and red salsa were homemade and the red salsa had a very nice heat to it, made me perspire a bit lol but trust me when I say that I love spicy food and this was a solid 7 of 10 on the heat scale. The appetizer we ordered was their choriqueso, melted cheese topped with sautéed to perfection chorizo. Rich and delicious! The tortillas, the deliciously handmade tortillas!! Wow what a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It definitely brought back memories of my grandmothers handmade tortillas. Thick and hearty deliciousness.
For the main course, we ordered the pork chuletas in red sauce and the michoacan enchiladas. Both dishes were superb. The thin cut pork chops were seasoned to perfection and were swimming in a delicious red sauce. Paired with perfectly cooked beans and rice (not from a can or bag by the way). The enchiladas were very simple and delicious, trust me when I say that these "simple" enchiladas are packed with flavor. Served just like mom would serve with a side of lechuga and a hearty piece of steak to boot. Yum!! I also ordered a Tamarindo and horchata, the Tamarindo agua was fantastic. Great flavor. The horchata was a bit of a miss for my liking. Needed a bit more cinnamon and sugar in my personal opinion.
I am so glad we happen to find this hidden gem while traveling. Next time I'm visiting from Las Vegas, this is definitely an establishment I'm coming back to!

Service was Great, the place itself was a little dirty, Food was nothing special. The Steak Fajitas a little too dry! (Over cooked) The Shrimp Cocktail was Sweet instead of Savory, and the Chilaquiles NOT good.

We were a family of 10 and we all loved the placed. Majority of us ordered Menudo and Posole and it was DELICIOUS. We definitely plan on being back here again. The restaurant is small and tight but the food is worth it!

Authentic Mexican home cooked food for sure. Handmade tortillas takes the food up a notch. We ordered the chilies rellenos in caldo (soup), chicharrón (pork grinds) in red salsa, and the beef milanesa (breaded steak). The chile rellenos in caldo is definitely a rare find and the chicharrones in the red salsa are so goood! The milanesa was okay. Friendly staff that constantly checked-in on us to ask if we need anything. #handmadetortillas #caldo #mexicanfood #chilerellenos

This is the best authentic Mexican food around. Their sauces are made from scratch and everything is delicious. Also the owners are sweet and are kind to their customers. My favorite item is the Mole Chilaquiles.

A very special cozy place with great Mexican food and Diego Rivera prints, this restaurant was founded by three guys who used to work at Anaheim's legendary, tragically passed, German Restaurant the Jagerhaus. In fact Ruben and his two amigos plan to change the name to Tres JG (3 Jagerhaus Guys.). We loved the albondigas and the chorizo plate, next time we'll try the posole!
