“Came here on a Monday afternoon for lunch and it was pretty quiet. The food is really good. I had the Mixed Fajitas ($16), which came with shrimp, steak, chicken, and tortillas. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. The steak was a bit chewy, but it wasn't so bad. My favorite was the flautas ($10). It comes with 4 chicken flautas and avocado. The beef tongue tacos ($10) were delicious as well. You couldn't even tell it was beef tongue because it was so tender and packed with flavor. You can ask for their spicy sauce on the side that really does give a kick to all the dishes. The strawberry margarita was strong, but was a bit too sweet. They have a wide variety of Spanish beers and Jarritos. The service was fast. Since we were the only ones there, the bartender was very attentive to us. They also had a coin-operated ($0.75) pool table. The felt is a little worn out and the cue ball has some chips in it, but it's still playable.“
“This friendly restaurant may become our family's new fave Mexican restaurant.Check out my and other posters' pics. This is REAL FOOD -- NOT over-processed Taco Bell "fourthmeal" swill.Def worth visiting for easy afterwork meals or Saturday afternoon pick-me-up's.Parking: Parking is just inches from the front door. If additional parking is needed, side street parking is available, too.“
“We came here for the first time and had an excellent meal. The food was definitely a 5, the only issue was that it was SO loud that we couldn't hear each other talk and that definitely took away from the experience. But for delicious food I would definitely come back. We had the guacamole, ceviche and elote appetizers. All were fabulous. Then tried the fish, shrimp, duck and steak tacos, all very good. The chicken mole was delicious and so were the mole enchiladas. And the arugula salad was great. The margaritas were very good as well.“
“Fiona was very kind with her attentive service! I enjoyed the crunchy birria burrito and it was quite tasty especially dunking in the broth. The chips and salsa were great as well. The only constructive criticism I have is the chips prior + chips with the burrito was too much for just me as a solo diner and I should have ordered a green accompaniment with my burrito perhaps rajas or avocado.“
“Great service, and a nice cafe. I thought the food was good, but maybe wouldn't recommend the burrito as a first choice. It wasn't bad, and certainly was huge, but I don't know. It was missing something. Maybe cilantro, onions, garlic? It was spicy, but a little “
“Why hadn’t I eaten here before? OMG!The ladies are super attentive, very nice and helpful. You can feel the good vibes from the moment you arrive.And what can I tell you about the food???Too tasty and with an exquisite flavor. I can say without fear of being wrong that they have been the best birria tacos I have ever eaten. The flavor of the meats is on a different level. The flavor of the chicken of the “taquitos dorados” is on another level!And not to mention the fresh agua fresca de piña (I didn’t even take a picture of it so delicious).Thank you girls for everything!Here is a Puerto Rican couple who will definitely visit them again when we are in that area.God bless you!“
“I was so excited when I saw them on delivery service and ordered right away!! I'd been meaning to try Cocina Luchadoras since COVID. I ordered the chips and guacamole and three tacos. The tacos were very clean and not overly greasy. I loved that the chips were a bit thicker and super crunchy! I still need to go in person and try their food when it's hot off the stove but I will definitely be ordering food from here again!“
“Its clavel. It’s always worth the wait. Go put your name in and wander over to WC Harlan, Faddensonnen, or Dutch courage for a drink before dinner.Start with the tamale de elote fresco (most underrated item on the menu, it’s incredible? and a mezcalita. Then you really can’t go wrong- my favorite is the torta al gobernador.“
“Coming from a Texan, this place has the best Mexican food in Baltimore. The location is perfect for sitting in or even taking it to go and having a picnic at Patterson (across the street). The staff is always so friendly. The menu has so many options but truly everything has been amazing. Personally, their birria and taquitos are stellar.“
“Ive ordered pickup twiceFood is bomb and worth it.Burrito, quesadilla, guac and friesYou know what the current trend of inflation is. you going to spend almost 15 $20 at a fast food place you might as well come to mystics and get a better deal and value for your money.Fries are good and even better when reheating in the AFWould've given 5 stars but all weekend starting Friday, NO FRIES on the apps and that helps complete the meal for me...just couldn't understand how fries have been unavailable and its several markets nearby where potatoes could've been brought.I would've probably ate here all weekend but since no fries, i have to find something else“
“I honestly can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try Poncho’s. Best tacos in Baltimore for sure - very comparable to the famous Taco Bar out in MoCo but honestly I’d say Poncho’s is better. Their tamales, plantains, and chips and guac were so good. I’m so happy to have them in the neighborhood!“
“Everything we ordered was amazing. We ordered chorizo nachos, fried fish, tacos, and ice cream with churros and fried plantains. First time there and I will definitely be returning and telling EVERYONE about this place. The food, service and drinks were all excellent.“
“OMG! We had them for our 60th birthday party and they were AWESOME! They came on time set up quickly had AHA mazimg food. What was my favorite? All of it!!! If you are having an event, they are great! And their truck is so cute! Even if you aren’t having an event check their webpage to find where they will be! You will probably see me there, cuz I am going to follow them for sure! Thank you thank you Chihuahua Brothers for making my birthday special!“
“Very friendly staff, who were more than helpful in creating for an eventful night out as a group as we were visiting from North Carolina. Can’t go wrong with the Birria anything and combined with the excellent tequila selection. We even took home a pizza box of tacos with Ruben’s Hot Sauce for late night snacking 10/10 ⭐️“
“Honestly little hidden gemIncredibly clean place, authentic Mexican food, good prices. Don’t expect the same things you might find at Mi Rancho. This is much betterEnded up here on a break for breakfast between some work nearby, and I am very happy I did. Big man promise you’ll enjoy yourself“
“Loved everything at R House, with lots of parking space at the back of the building. Their Egyptian stall - Koshary Corner had lots of vegan options that hit the spot. Loved their vegan shawerma and crunchy falafel. Their koshary bowl was so fresh and had the authentic Middle Eastern flavors.“
“Been meaning to try this place for a while and I'm glad we did. We ordered chips and guacamole, tacos, and a steak chimichanga. The guacamole was smoother with a blended texture and very tasty. The steak chimichanga came smothered in a choice of either salsa verde or rojo. I picked the verde and that also was very good. I expected the tortilla on the chimichanga to be fried so was surprised when it wasn't, but it was tasty anyway so no harm done. My friend said their tacos were authentic, with the favorite being the carnitas. They have a variety of sodas and other drinks in their refrigerator case that looked interesting. I got a Vietnamese mango drink called Oh Fresh which was good.“
“Well...I heard rumors about the Super Taco Oaxaca and I am sitting in the restaurant as I am creating this post. I will start that this place is the real deal. My goodness! So much flavor in every bite.Parking: There is plenty of free parking.“
“Who doesn't love a good taco? Taco town has you covered. They have a variety of proteins to choose from. Don't want a taco? They do serve other items such as burritos, quesadillas and tortas. Now to the food. Amply portioned, I enjoyed my carne asada tacos. The meat was a little sweet for my liking but, not a turn off. You can pick fresh toppings like onions, cilantro and etc. The pricing was not bad for the portions. I was a bit disappointed that this establishment piece meals their platter. By piece meal I mean, they charge for every element. Tacos, Beans, and Rice. The advertised platter just comes with your Taco...Quesadilla or Burrito. Also while here I ordered the Chips, Salsa and fresh guac. All delicious and made fresh on the premises. Stop in and pay them a visit.“
“My friend and I dined in yesterday and had a delicious meal of fish tacos at this location of Taqueria La Patrona. The service was excellent and friendly. We took two slices of Los Leches cake home which were fantastic! Why am I just tasting this delicacy at the age of 67!?The only negative was that there was not any toilet paper in the restroom. Thankfully it wasn't an emergency. Also the restrooms with marked For Employees Only. I ignored the sign. Maryland law requires restaurants that offer indoor dining to provide restrooms for their customers. I hope to see compliance with the law the next time I visit.“
“What a PLEASANT SURPRISE! My wife and I frequently go to this out of the way shopping center for three stores: Ollie's, Mom's and a Goodwill Thrift store. We always pass Pollo Fiesta on the way in but never ate here before this visit. First things first, I am GLUTEN FREE and MANY "Peruvian" or South American rotisserie chicken places marinate the fowl in BEER (cerveza) and/or use soy sauce in seasoning...this prohibits the delightful pollo from my diet! The wonderful young lady who was managing Pollo Fiesta the day we were there assured me that the chicken was hand rubbed with a gluten free seasoning blend. Both my wife and I LOVED it! I had a side of black beans that were good. NOT GREAT, to me, because I am used to Cuban black beans that are seasoned differently. My wife had a side of plantain that she loved. This restaurant does not offer much in the way of ambience. But it IS very suitable for a family with young kids! The service is wonderful! I highly recommend this restaurant!“
“i’m never one to leave reviews, but me and my boyfriend love finding good places. i got their cbr burrito and it was AMAZING. also got their norcal fries and it’s a huge portion and so good! i’m so glad i got their “ spiked ranch “ and “ secret sauce “ absolutely amazing.“
“I love this spot, my favorite taqueria in Baltimore. The owner is very kind and often he’s the one cooking the meals. My favorite of all times are the Ribeye tacos, I think they recently changed the cut for NY strip, but still pretty good. I’m not a fan of micheladas but I gave it a try at this spot and oh boy ? loved them too. I’ve tried several dishes from here and loved them all so far. There isn’t one thing that I tried that I didn’t like. 100% recommend!!“
“Absolutely amazing. My goal is to get everything from the menu because of the flavorful food. I ordered birria tacos, chicken tacos and al pastor. Each one was delicious. They have specials sometimes throughout the week I follow their Facebook page for them and they never miss the spot! Definitely recommend to all and will be going back! <3Side note: The little girl is very nice definitely appreciate the family atmosphere“
“Decided to finally give it a try and i was very very pleased with everything, staff was so nice, food was AMAZING!! Hot and fresh. Im a very very picky eater but they have alot that i will be trying. So far the 2 Nashville items ive had were soo good, my friend loved both of the burritos he got. We will definitely be back.“
“I recently visited a restaurant that left me speechless. The food was amazing and the service was great, I love this place. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly hostess who showed me to my table. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the smell of freshly cooked food filled the air. I perused the menu, and my mouth watered at the delicious options available. I decided to order the steak, and it did not disappoint. The meat was cooked to perfection, juicy and tender, and the sides were just as delectable. The chef's attention to detail was evident in every bite. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly, always making sure that my needs were met. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions when I was unsure of what to order. I felt like I was being taken care of the whole time. As I finished my meal, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the experience I had just had. The food was amazing and the service was great, I love this place. I couldn't wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings. This restaurant had become my new go-to spot for a great meal and a wonderful dining experience.“
“We stopped here both going (lunch) and returning (dinner) on a day trip to Baltimore. The Burrito was easily a 10/10. It fed both my wife and myself (we are not big eaters) and was a terrific value. For dinner we had tacos which I rate 9/10 and a pupusa which was just decent. Easy parking and nice picnic tables. Easy access to I-95. I expect to visit a lot.“
“Wrap-around bar and a handful of tables but as busy as it was we had no problem getting a table. Smartly organized having a small concert venue in the next room and one line to order drinks so people aren't shouting their orders over the shoulders of bar patrons. There's also a big TV so you can watch the band from inside the restaurant. Saw Powerman 5000 there and it was amazing! Was surprised to see so many seniors at the bar smashing food while a heavy metal concert was going on in the next room but the way it's set up it's not really loud in the dining/bar section.“
“Amazing food, people, and vibes! Our server, Anthony, was incredibly personable and gave us top-notch service catering to our every request and inquiry. He was very kind and jovial and knew exactly how to match our energy!! Also the carne asada and crunchy mahi mahi tacos were to die for.“
“My enchiladas are the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten them from a lot of places across Maryland. Plus the chicken in the kids chicken quesadillas were so flavorful and the fries were salted perfectly, not too seasoned and you don’t need ketchup at all. The enchiladas come with refried beans and rice and they were very delicious too! The sauce was not spicy where you couldn’t enjoy it - just so much good flavor. I will be a regular if this is always that good.“
“The best mex food look no further! Probably the best tacos I ever had, especially al pastor tacos! I work close to this truck and it’s hands down the best Mexican food! It’s everyones favorite in our large lunch group! Burritos, tacos, fajitas, and nachos all highly recommended! Seating is close to the road but it’s worth it for the quality, or take it to go and sit in a near by park.“
“I get the same thing every time, chicken tacos and the enchiladas. They are both so good. You can call ahead and it's ready when you arrive if you don't want to wait in the lot of a gas station. Seriously, get over the location and head there for the food! Kind people with great food.“
“Ordered the chicken breakfast burrito w/ avocado inside and it was incredible. The burrito couldn’t stay closed with how much stuff was inside of it. Everything well seasoned and free.I’m not a fan of the red salsa, but the green is very good.I will be returning and will get a picture next time.“
“#ThisFeedsMySoulStatusConferred Iguana Margarita Strong, tasty and delicious. I love a good frozen margarita and it didn't disappoint. Even though it was strong it was still flavorful which is how I like my drinks. Chori Pollo The chicken was a seasoned well and tender. Chorizo is seasoned well and mixed in. Both meats are mixed in a cheesy sauce. It's my favorite item on their menu. Beans They have the best refried beans. They are creamy, flavorful and delicious. The melted cheese on top is a bonus. They have two locations and this one is better than the SP one. This location is more consistent with the food being delicious. It's a local favorite and worth a drop in.“
“Genuine Mexican tacos , menudo soup , etc . Fresh made tortillas . We had the Pollo, Carnitas and Rez tacos and all were delicious along with the Green sauce . Everything is freshly made , inexpensively priced and the tacos were a good size with a plenty of meat in the tacos . So if you are in the area make sure to support and eat at this local tortilleria .“
“One of the top taco joints in the city. We ordered carne asada, pollo, language, and tripa. The tortillas as homemade and crisped on the plancha so you don't even mind that they only single wrap the tacos. There's only salsa roja and limes to adjust the seasoning, but the salsa is really good with a moderate level of heat. My favorite of the meats we ordered was probably carne asada, my husband's was the tripa, but they were all really good. The table service was quick and friendly. The horchata was very sweet and bit like something I would make at home from a mix but honestly it hit the spot. This place is up there with Cinco de Mayo Dos, maybe just behind Sabor del Parque due to the limited number of non pork filling options. But all three are up there at the peak of Bmore tacos.“
“There’s only one answer if you’re looking for Mexican, and Mari Luna is it. The BEST food. It’s unbelievable how good it is. The service is top notch and timely. This place is incredible, even down to the ice in their drinks. The ice! You can’t go wrong with Mari Luna!“
“Food was really good. I didn't love the flavor of the carnitas taco but it wasn't bad. The huarache was also much thicker than I am used to but still a great item to try. The carne asada and al pastor tacos were amazing! They are served with some generously cut cucumbers and radishes for a nice fresh bite too. Loved it. The horchata was great too“
“I loved this place so much! Especially the Queso. It was the best Queso I have ever had! The service was amazing and so was the atmosphere. Everything about It was amazing and there was nothing there that I disliked. I definitely enjoyed this restaurant and recommend it!“
“Where does this fat kid begin when all the food was banging?MENUDO!!!! An absolute flavor explosion.Follower by the Carne Asada tacos where were in top 3 taco experiences and I eat a lot of tacos.Then the lingua and the Al Pastor.The rice and beans were also elite. All in all putting this on my go to list.Also, and almost as important as the food the high chair game was on point and plenty of parking.“
“I have been going to this restaurant for 20 years and have always enjoyed the food but the last few times the food was mediocre. It just does not have the flavors it once had. The shrimp fajitas has absolutely no flavor. This was my go to dish for years. I am afraid the quality of the food here has gone down hill. Too bad because I use to love this place to go for Mexican food. ?“
“I wanted to eat a quick lunch and I was struck by the score in the reviews... and I want to let you know that my husband and I loved the carnitas tacos and the rice was delicious. I recommend it ? and when I’m here again, I’ll eat here again!The people are very attentive, very explanatory and take out the orders very quickly.“
“This was the third time I've been in the last few months. It seems to get better every time. The most recent time was last evening. I ordered steak fajitas and they were amazing. Not only was the taste amazing it was enough food for three meals for me. I think the prices are quite reasonable especially with the amount of food you get. Our party of 15 ended up sitting in the bar area on high top tables due to our lack of putting reservations early enough but the server along with the bar tender gave us great service. Definitely will continue to be a repeat customer.“
“Ordered a barria torta($12) and 3 barria tacos ($10).The barria torta was very good.The barria tacos were simply AMAZING. 3 large tacos loaded with meat stuffed into 2 soft corn tortillas that were grilled in the barria consomme. Tons of flavor.Although the torta was very good it just did not have the flavor of the tacos. Next time I may try a different torta but will definitely be getting the barria tacos.Excellent serviceAtmosphere: it's a food truck along Ritchie Hwy, Glen Burnie...enough said.There are picnic tables weather permitting and very, very clean.A must try“
“We came to this place because I seen a post on IG. They food is amazing and so is the drink. Our waiter (Monte) he was so friendly and polite. It was my birthday and he made our experience unique at Anejo and most importantly worth coming back.“
“We got the shrimp tostada and it was to die for, so well seasoned and marinated. Very flavorful. The Chiles Rellenos (never had before but) were so good, tender and flavorful. The pumpkin flower quesadilla I just got to be a quesadilla and wasn’t expected much but I was pleasantly surprised! The crema on top and everything came together really nicely. The tartness… Ooooh, so goodDon’t miss out on the HUGE tamarindo btw.Would go again, again, again, and again, even if the place is an hour away from me.An unintentionally great pit stop“
“I've driven by this place 100 times and regret that I didn't stop to eat there the first time. I had the steak quesadilla- literally the best quesadilla I've ever had. I can't wait to eat at this place regularly. Staff was friendly and food was quick. (FYI... I saw a sign that says they don't take Apple Pay- which makes me like them even more lmao)“
“Delicious handmade flour tortillas make for tasty quesadillas and tacos. I opted for the quesadilla with potatoes and cauliflower, which hit the spot. However, it was a bit on the small size given the price and as others have mentioned, there is an automatic 12% gratuity added to the charge that really doesn't make sense unless you sit at the limited seating at the bar. That said, there isn't a lot of seating overall, so don't count on a spot.“
“Love this place! I’ve been coming here for a couple years and have always had a great experience. The family that runs it is so lovely and they always brighten up my night. I’ve tried most of the menu and it’s all delicious. Recently they started making horchata and it’s incredible.“
