Maria’s International Restaurant

I must say I went into this restaurant to order take out. There was 8 waitresses and 4 tables with customers they made me wait 30 min just to put my order in for food that was already on display. If that wasn’t enough my order was 32 dollars that the counter girl tallied up and gave me my check. I gave her my credit card to the lady at the register in front of me. The lady pulls out a calculator then tells the girl swiping my card 35 I asked why 35 when my bill was 32 she said we charge a fee for credit card purchases. Never in my life have I seen a restaurant add a fee for paying with a credit card. Never again will I go there.

Let me start by saying I don’t like to write bad reviews, but with that being said, I must write this one. My experience going here was so bad that it needs to be shared.
I always loved eating here when the original owner, Maria, was running it. Unfortunately, she sold it some years ago after she got to old to continue. Since selling it I’ve had one bad experience after the other. The workers are rude, don’t have any sense of urgency or customer service. The atmosphere as turned into a place that draws in loud and obnoxious people, no place to dine with your family.
The prices have gone up, and to top it off they charge extra for every add on (cheese, mayo, etc). Who charges extra for mayo? Well, Maria’s Resturant does… When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the managers first reaction was to tell me how expensive things are in Manhattan. This store is located in ENY Brooklyn mind you, not Manhattan where I can expect higher prices. He then went on to say I don’t have to take the food that I ordered, so to make a long story short, I took him up on his offer and walked out. I then went to Rico Chimi and got the same chicken sandwich for a little more than half the price.
Please heed my warning and don’t patron this establishment, it has really gone downhill…

This place is horrable, loud music, drunk people its like a club, and the meat is reheated from hours before or the night before., they also need to upgrade on the plates that they give food in because when i went there the plate was chiped that my food came in.
