First I would like to say that this is probably the first review of this nature I have written for any restaurant that I have visited. I always try to find the positive side of an establishment because every business will have an off day, but this one was Horrendous!.
My husband and I were in the Sturgis area for a mini vacation during Valentines Day Weekend. Our family lives out here and we visit quite regularly and eat in the area often. We were looking to try out some new places so we purchased a restaurant.com gift cert. for this place. Which by the way they do not honor once you get there. We arrived around 7Pm. and were told to seat ourselves. This would have been no problem except that all of the empty tables were filthy. One of the bus boys (approximately around the age 0f 13) came over to a table we picked and swept the food and grime off the table and onto the floor! 1st turn off. Waitress was prompt and polite but a bit overloaded. There were only two of them during the dinner rush! She took our drink and food order and left. Our drinks came and the Strawberry Margarita I ordered was great, but a bit pricey (7.98 for one). Our food arrived shortly after and the portions on our plate would feed a 10 year old. The steak tacos were overly salted, beans were served on a flat plate and were a runny mess and the rice had no flavor. While we were eating and talking, two busboys (again 12 yrs old at the most) came over and interrupted our conversation and dinner to reach over us and take the empty plates and then hover there and wait to get the other dishes until my husband told them to leave. They were goofing around while they were working and then broke the cart with the dirty dishes on it and it crashed to the floor in the middle of the place. After our meal the waitress brought the bill that didn't have a total on it and said the bar "does that". While I waited for my husband to pay, some employees came around the corner and opened a door directly across from me (in 15 degree weather) to dump out some garbage. As we were leaving the restaurant there was a man lying on the floor outside the same door that was opened passed out as a few of the employees and another patron stood around laughing at him. This whole situation made me write this review. I would not return to this place or ever refer it to other family or friends in the area. I had to give it one star because of the Margarita, at least that was flavorful, and this rating system doesn't allow for negative stars.

Maria's is outstanding! I have been hooked since I first visited last year with my parents (thanks Mom & Dad!). The shrimp chimi was the best. The vegetarian options are also abundant and they'll customize whatever you want (within reason, of course). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
