Best Western Historic District welcomes Taqueria Maria Bonita VA II

Taqueria Maria Bonita VA has been opened for two years on Mooretown Road in the plaza across from the Sentara Hospital, in Williamsburg. Guadalupe Arreola moved to the United States from Mexico City – bringing her mother (also Guadalupe) and their fabulous authentic recipes with them. Mama Guadalupe makes all the main sauces, each day, before the restaurant opens. Daughter Guadalupe runs the restaurant, doing the hiring, training and all public relations.

This month, Taqueria Maria Bonita VA opened a second restaurant in Williamsburg – in YOU GUESSED IT – a pandemic. Timing is SOMEthing but the work ethic of this family is EVERYthing…and this family is marketing and delivering excellence, in BOTH restaurants, IN a pandemic.



Taqueria Maria Bonita II is across from Colonial Williamsburg’s horse pasture on York Street, at the Best Western Historic Area. With a gracious, covered patio and plenty of indoor seating for social distancing, they offer this menu and daily specials. Continue to count on Taco Tuesdays ($2 tacos) at both locations and a delicious and authentic menu. Their dishes truly recreate the tastes of Mexico City, right here in Williamsburg, at Best Western Historic Area.





I don’t know about you, but Mexican food has never been something I had to entice my children to eat. I have also NEVER had to beg my kids to give a Mexican sit-down restaurant a chance. My family (loud, messy, and never-sit-in-your-seat boys) has always been welcomed and smiled at in any Mexican restaurant – children are celebrated in that culture. And my kids love ALL of the food. BONUS! My point is: don’t be shy about bringing your kids to check out Taqueria Maria Bonita! All kid’s menu items are under $5 and include a drink (juice or fountain drink) and they of course they offer Chicken Fingers for the truly picky eater! My boys had the kid’s chicken burrito with queso cheese sauce, beans and rice – and they gave it two thumbs up.



Best Western has an indoor pool and boasts an amazing location, truly! You look into a horse pasture and walk to see the sheep and baby lambs. When Taqueria Maria Bonita is able to offer a breakfast buffet (later in Phase 3), they will include eggs and fruit and traditional Mexican specialties – think salsa and Huevos Rancheros. If you aren’t quite ready to visit a restaurant’s dining room, both locations offer ToGo and both locations feature patio seating.
