Excellent Mexican - Three locations, one Very close to O'Hare

There are three (cancel that, now 2 as of 10/2006) Maria's Mexican Restaurants. I have eaten at the Foster location for a few years now. Food is always fresh and very well-prepared. Now that there is a Maria's in my hometown (Des Plaines), I am eating at this location and the food is as good as ever.

The Foster location is also w/in 5-8 minutes of O'Hare airport and the O'Hare hotels.
Simply take 190 out of O'Hare towards Chicago, exit River Rd south, go about 1 mile and turn right on Foster to Maria's.

Standouts for me include: Pollo Mole (grilled chicken breast w/a Mole (roasted Anejo pepper, cinnamon sauce), Carne Asada (GREAT skirt steak) w/Pico de Gallo, Chilies Rellenos (Roasted Poblano peppers stuffed w/either cheese or shredded beef).

Most entrees in the $9-$12 range.
Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 11am-11pm, Sunday 11am-10pm, closed Mondays.
