    We were looking for a place that could fit 4 of us fairly quickly and pretty close to where we were staying. We found Zia Maria’s and we were able to get a reservation within the half an hour. We were sat almost right away, waited a little bit to order, but once we did the food came out very quickly! The food was very good and reasonably priced. As we were finishing up, the skies opened up (they quickly resat the people outside inside) and we were told to take our time leaving because of the weather. We would definitely go back.
