Santa Maria Cumming Reviews
Best tasting food, beautiful presentation, lovely atmosphere and nice staff! All the elements of a perfect evening out! If you check them out on Taco Tuesday, know tacos are half price. It will get you hooked to go back for tacos on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday!
Fantastic experience, food and the service are top shelf along with the Cocktails. Appreciate the effort that is put into their many choices of meals. You can't go wrong here, what an enjoyable local experience. We will be back for sure!
So many outstanding options and great people make this one of my favorite places to eat for lunch and dinner. Shrimp tacos, taco macho, and many more inexpensive lunch options. Dinner is truly outstanding. You got to go!
What an amazing meal and experience! Food: 5 out of 5- an absolutely delicious meal. We started with a half dozen of fresh oysters and they wet amazing (forgot to take a pic) / then we had Oysters Parmesan, The Mexican Basket, the Pirrnah Steak and the Churasca Steak. All were delicious and one of the best meals we have had lately. Ambiance: the restaurant was busy and there were musicians playing great music and a dancer, interacting with the diners, and teaching people to dance. It was fun and lively. Service: our waitress was very attentive, educated us on the menu and very helpful Price: reasonable priced for the amazing food. For 3 people, 4 cocktails, 2 tapas, 1 entree and oysters, plus tip, it was approx $200 Bathroom: clean and spacious Parking: park behind the restaurant- plenty of parking We will definitely be back!
Great food! I wanted to try another restaurant here at City Center and I'm glad I did. My mom and I decided on Santa Maria. The Ceviche was on the spicy side but the mango gives it a nice balance with the smoothness of the avocado. Very delicious. I did not want octopus and was able to do just shrimp. One day I will be brave, but not today. The Mole was my moms dish and I know when she stops talking to eat, it is good. She let me have one small small piece of chicken. If you are looking for a regular fajitas dish, this will not be it. It's better. Peppers, carrots, potatoes, green beans, onions, mushrooms, chicken, shrimp wrapped in bacon, steak, rice and beans. I feel like Im missing something. And no, I couldn't eat it all! Both dishes were served with blue corn tortillas. Delicious! Server was great and she offered menu suggestions. The GM, Oscar, stopped by our table chat and asked if we needed anything. My only complaint and it's not at the fault of the restaurant but the mic for the band periodically would make a very high pitched sound. It was awful the entire restaurant would go silent. When it's time to pay they will bring you the POS and you can tap or swipe your card at the table. All in all, a good time was had and I will def be back.
My husband and I went for lunch on a Monday- the service was amazing. The food was incredible, we were so full when we left.
What a great new addition to Cumming City Center!! We stopped in for a date night on a Friday and were able to secure reservations a few hours prior. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived and the server came shortly after. We wanted to order half of the menu but settled on the tuna tostada, the avocado stuffed with ceviche, the chicken arepa, the salad with mango and strawberries, and the paella. When I say everything was amazing, I mean it! After spending some time in Spain this summer I must say this was the best stateside meal I've had since that trip. I think my top 2 dishes were the tuna tostada and the mango/strawberry salad, although literally everything was delicious. We cannot wait to go back!

I am so pleased to have this exciting entertaining experience with outstanding food so close to our home in Cumming. My mother celebrated her 87th birthday there and can't wait to return for more food and fun! The flamenco dancers transported us back to Spain. The menu has something for everyone and I can hardly wait to try the authentic paella at our next visit. The City Center just keeps getting better and better!!
