Check out our list of the best Mexican restaurants in Riviera Beach.
“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.“
“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!“
“The food is amazing and the employees are always so nice! Prices are also very fair. Have been twice in the last week lol. Eat in gets chips and salsa along with a bit of ice cream at the end which is a great touch. Would highly recommend to anyone who would listen!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“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 ⭐️“
“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.“
“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“
“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!!“
“Food here is so good. It's the most affordable and convenient place to get tacos around here, and the horchata is not bad at all (unlike another local Mexican spot, looking at you senior chiles) Obviously the ambience isn't going to be that of any restaurant because it's in a gas station (duh) but they did have flowers out the last time I was there and it smelled very pretty inside. Service is quick and they are nice as long as you are straight to be point and polite.“
“Hands down the best Mexican food around this area. It’s very small but it is always worth the wait for a seat. The surf n turn mulita’s is the best dish I’ve had at any Mexican restaurant ever. Completely blown away. The staff is also so friendly and attentive. Cannot recommend this place enough“
“Eating at the Picantillo is always a wonderful experience. Whenever my husband and I visit my parents, this is one of our favorite spots to eat with them. The food is always great (my favorites being the smothered burrito and the chimichanga) and the service is always excellent.“
“A great addition to Severna Park! We really enjoyed our dinner at Pitaya. The staff was very friendly, and the food was excellent! The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and the noise level was fine when we were there. We'll definitely go again!“
“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.“
“This is your average quick service in terms of its atmosphere and the service. Sometimes great, sometimes a little slower. However the fresh tortillas, and other ingredients are better than you are going to get at somewhere like subway. The portions are large, but the starting price is high for quick service food. It's usually two meals for me for about $13. Truly the mint limeade. I can't get enough of it.“
“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.“
“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 .“
“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.“
“I went on a Sunday afternoon so parking wasn't bad. I tried the Quesabirria and it was delicious. I ordered at the counter and it was ready to go in under 15 minutes. Everything was fresh and well prepared. I ordered to go but they had tables available inside also.“
“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.“
“#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.“
“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. ?“
“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 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“
“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.“
“I've heard good reviews for this spot and had to check them out on game day. They were having phone issues, but I was able to reach them thru FB message app! They actually replied and quickly too. I was able to communicate my order, place the order and had my food on time.The quality of the ingredients, Amazing. The tacos, pulled pork, chorizo, chicken and steak, AMAZING!Customer Service, Phenomenal! Will definitely order again, Thanks Taco Town of Baltimore“
“The food was amazing! Steak is probably in my top three....best thin steak I have ever had! Pupusas oh my! Great time and great atmosphere to ear some good El Salvadorian food! Juices are made from scratch. Amazing food!Pro- great food quality- great juice very refreshing- great service as they guided us on the right foods to get...- environment was clean and good qualityCons- NoneGreat time and highly recommend you go to this place!“
“The staff was very kind and welcoming. The food was freshly made and very good. we ordered different foods and they all exceeded our expectations. Will definitely recommend and will definitely come again!Vegetarian options: They have Veggie dishes“
“Semi-casual dining experience with reasonably authentic Cuban food at reasonable prices. The cocktails could be stronger or cheaper, but it's not the only place where you can get a mojito. It is one of the only places in Baltimore where you can get good Cuban food.“
“great location and cool atmosphere..great food and a good local bar bartender Hallie is as nice as they come..I used to go to that spot before it's changed to Papis and I hope that they can make it work and appreciate the local support that really loves the vibe of old skool fells point local love of their faithful patrons who continue to support yall..“
“Being a gringa I can't reliably say if the foot is truly authentic, although the 1st language spoken by 80% of the diners suggests it is. I can reliably say it's delicious. The birria tacos are their signature & are amazing. And the al pastor, lengua & carnitas are fantastic as well. Tres leches for desert, a Mexican Coke or one of the agua frescas to drink & you will not leave unhappy or hungry. Don't be intimidated if you don't speak a lick of Spanish, the staff are fluent in both.“

“Everything was perfect, the staff is friendly and the cashier made a funny joke. We got the chicken torta, elote, street tacos (chicken, beef,shrimp), and jarritos. The food is very flavorful, even the chicken torta surprisingly. The price point is fair in my opinion. I will be back again.“
“There was no fish on the night that I went but I was still able to get good authentic tacos. Much better than the fake stuff you get from taco bell, it was like being back in Mexico, the food was flavorful and presented well. I would definitely go back again.“
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Talk about a hole in the wall! I was in the area looking for a latino place to have dinner. This place came up. It's currently called David Latin Restaurant or something similar. This establishment is under new ownership and the family came out to meet my son and me. Not only was the food was delicious and very, very affordable, they had great customer service. Truthfully, reminded me of my mom's cooking. Yes, it needs a bit of TLC but the owners mentioned they are working to adding improvements. My family and I look forward to going back. Don't let the need for aesthetic improvements fool you, the food does not disappoint! You will not regret it!“
“Absolutely spectacular - I haven't had chilequiles this good since my trip to Mexico City, and I get them as often as I can. The tepache suave was delicious and went perfectly. Beans and rice were perfection.I genuinely might go back tonight.Vegetarian options: All the Mexican classic vegetarian options were available, and would be a spectacular choice“
“came here on a sat night w 2 friends and it was great! we went around 7:30 and there was a good amount of people there but the second floor was empty, which was where we sat. while we ate, more people came and filled up p much the whole place as it got later in the night. it was a really fun & chill hangout spot w good food. the taquitos were on the dryer side but I dipped them in salsa and the other sauces they had at the sauce bar and they were delish! my friends ordered the Al pastor tacos and enjoyed them. we got chips w our order which are apparently made in the store and they had a nice crisp! also went well w their many assorted salsas! i didn't realize when I first went in, but this is an order first at the counter and seat yourselves type of place. i waited a few mins for my taquitos by the the desk, but you can also sit down w your number and they'll bring the food to you! unfortunately they didn't have horchata when I went, but maybe I'll get it next time. the workers are nice and the prices are average!“
“Amazing Hispanic food. I found my new favorite restaurant. Every dish is made with love. My son got chicken enchiladas and was very happy with flavors reminded him of his childhood in AZ.I feel like I'm back in the Baja of Mexico. After living 15 years in AZ, my search for this cuisine is finally over. Their horchata is perfection creamy, not grainy. Large, consistent portions, layers of flavor, and multitude of choices. What caught my attention was the choice of two or three dishes from one part of the menu. Their house chili relleno is my favorite. Service is fast. We sat down at table & chips and Sala arrived delivered by a smiling waiter. So good and fairly priced I forgot to photograph!Kid-friendliness: Lots of families with small children.Wheelchair accessibility: ADA compliant.“
“Went for my birthday dinner and it was my first time. Normally go to a place in Ellicott City but this was really good and much closer. Food was tasty and service was pretty fast. The only issue I had was that the frozen margaritas were weak and had a lot of flavoring in them instead of tequila. Parking lot is a little small and a pain to get out of as there's only one entrance/exit into Ritchie. Would be nice if there was a second that put you on Americana to get to the traffic light. Reasonable prices and family atmosphere will have me coming back when I want Mexican and do t want to travel to E.C.“
“not what i thought it would be, but i mean that in the best way possible! this unassuming establishment has great service and food. i ordered the fajita mix and chicken and waffles. outstanding value here! so much food for the price!!! and i was given my food with a smile!“
“Barcocina has such great waterfront views. It's very spacious with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. I've been here a lot in the past for dining and to enjoy the night scene as well, which have all been fun. I came back here recently with a coworker for lunch. I got the Firecracker Shrimp tacos and Yucca Frites and he got the Smoked Mushroom, Brussels Sprouts, and two fried eggs. We both found the Brussels sprouts too sweet but otherwise, everything else was quite good. Service was friendly and quick. We both enjoyed dining here and plan to be back.“
“I ♡ El Habanero!The location is a food truck parked at the Carroll Motor Fuels gas station at the intersection of Eastern Ave and Kane St. They no longer have a menu on the truck and now only serve tacos, which are super delicious and incredibly affordable.The kind man told us that they served beef, pork, and chicken tacos, so we got one of each meat - 3 tacos for $10 flat. BRING CASH. The kind people working also don't really speak any English, but the transaction and service was very simple and fast regardless. I am definitely going to go back whenever I get gas again (also, the gas at this station is usually the lowest on this street as well. Very convenient!)The taste of the tacos were very fresh, the salsas are strong and spicy and accent the cilantro and onions very well, all over a slightly chewy soft corn tortilla. 3 tacos is a perfect portion, but if you're really hungry, I would say go for 4. My favorite was definitely the beef taco.Kid-friendliness: Well, I don't think they have a mean bone in their bodies.Parking: You can just park in the gas station for a few minutes, it's fine. If you're really worried or the gas station is busy, you can just park at the nearby Wendy's or Home Depot and just walk literally one minute. You don't have to pay for parking here.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space for wheelchairs, however, do note that it IS a food truck, so you might have to speak up.“
“First time eating here, and would definitely return.Restaurant was clean, and smelled delicious, and staff were pleasant. You can either order your food at the counter or use the screens to order independently.I ordered the taco platter (1 shrimp and 2 fish, all on corn tortillas). Portions were filling, and the food was flavorful. I really enjoyed that side of raddish, it was sort of pickled and spicy.I did take out, and it was a prepared timely, so I didn't have to use my whole lunch break!“
“It is the ideal place to go and enjoy their delicious roast beef tacos, birria taquitos, which are delicious tongue tacos, there are also delicious roast meats, chicken with slices, I mean, it is an experience that you will want to live again with that delicious food that is in this “
“Best burrito in town hands down . Everything fresh cooked and seasoned perfectly just as big as one of the chain burritos, but doesn't fall apart in your hand. Stop supporting chain, restaurants and give this place your money for your authentic Mexican Fix“
