Can’t say enough about Maria’s. Very good Mexican food. Tough to choose one thing to order. Very tasty!

I enjoy the food there. It is a family restaurant that has been in the QC for years. The original owners have their family running much of the operation now, but they are often on site. Always friendly. Always great food.

This was a spur of the moment food adventure. Quinine from Chihuahua, Mexico. I jj Had a seafood tostada that was scrumptious. My son had enchiladas that were subtly but deliciously seasoned. We'd never been in this restaurant but will be returning. Best meal in months. A pleasure to eat and the owners were very congenial.

This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the Quad Cities. It’s cash only, but they have an ATM. The salsa is incredibly fresh, the margs are perfectly mixed, and I have never had something bad off the menu. A hidden gem in Moline.
