Utahns love Mexican food, and we have plenty of amazing places to choose from when we’re craving tasty tacos and yummy burritos. There’s a restaurant in Orem that serves up huge portions of delicious Mexican food at great prices, and you’re going to want to check it out.
Maria Bonita is located in a little strip mall in Orem, but don't let the location fool you. You'll find some of the tastiest Mexican food in Utah County here.
The drinks here are legendary. Try the Piña Colada in a frozen pineapple, or sip on a strawberry or mango colada, banana daiquiri, or strawberry or lemon margarita. You can get non-alcoholic versions, too.
The menu is full of all kinds of delicious offerings, and the portions are definitely generous. From the chicken tostadas to the bean burrito, you'll find fresh ingredients and fabulous flavors.
The molcajete is overflowing with savory flavors. It includes grilled steak, Mexican sausage, shrimp, chicken, melted cheese, jalapeños, onions, avocado and cactus, plus it comes with rice and beans.
When you order the flautas, you'll get three and they're so big that they almost fall right off the plate. Choose from shrimp, chicken, pork, beef, or asada.
