“todo es buena comenzando el servicio al cliente“

“We are there for the first time last night and I can say the food was absolutely amazing and the service was phenomenal. It’s a busy restaurant for obvious reasons, but the staff made the experience a great one. The owner Carlos was super nice and stopped by to say hello to us as we have a mutual friend. I would highly recommend checking this out!!“

“The food was amazing! Excellent guacamole and the pozole was delish! Fish tacos were yummy and the flan for dessert was fantastic! We have been here once before and will be back again! Margaritas and after dinner drink were beautifully made. Our waiter, Alex, was attentive and excellent! Overall, a great dining experience!“

“They are very friendly and provided everything we asked. The place was also clean, and there was plenty of space. There are a lot of options, and you can ask to customize things to your liking. My family loved the food. Not every place that serves pupusas knows how to make them good, but this restaurant is one of the few that do not disappoint.“

“Great food , great drinks, great establishment“

“This taco joint is the real deal. Family run. Homemade salsas, chicharon , hibiscus and horchata. Get the damn baliata(sp?) !! Ask for Chris up front and tell them Ray and Russell sent you. I’ve moved away from this place when I went there 2 times a week , and now they live rent free in my brain because I live in Towson without a car. I will see you again soon Ponchos ❤️💪🏽
This place does not play when it comes to tacos. Good things are worth waiting for , so be prepared to wait for excellence , or call your order in before youre on the way“

“Excellent service and food on this thanksgiving day ⭐️“

“I really enjoyed stopping by this small little gem. I ordered the steak queso birria tacos , and no consume was needed. Juicy steak with no fatty pieces and tortilla crisp to perfection. The red chicken tamale was good and spicy salsa sneaks up on ya. Grab a Dulce leche cake for dessert later. It’s worth it“

“Great food and experience. I know the owner personally and love that he is a pioneer in LOB“

From initial contact, their communication was seamless, and they had everything ready upon our arrival. The food was impressively presented, and the wait staff provided attentive and personalized service. Their efforts exceeded expectations, making the occasion truly memorable.“

“If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food in Baltimore, Taqueria La Patrona is a must-visit! The tacos are packed with flavor, fresh ingredients, and the perfect balance of spice and texture. I tried the shrimp tacos, and they were absolutely amazing—crispy, flavorful, and topped with fresh salsa that made every bite perfect.

The prices are reasonable for the quality, and the portions are generous. The casual and welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. Service was friendly and efficient, making the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re a fan of authentic, flavorful Mexican cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. You can always count on fresh ingredients and amazingly huge margaritas!! 🍹😋🤣“

“Used to go to R&R when they were in a gas station in Elkridge. Hadn’t been since they moved downtown and all the Food Network hype in between. Just got some tacos and a California burrito at the Lombard Street location and was beyond pleasantly surprised. The flavors and quality of ingredients are still excellent. The staff were lovely, great service. I will be back :)“

“I order from here at least 5x a month!! I love every item I buy from this place. The burritos, the tacos, the fresh juices, THE BIRRIA CONSUME! The nachos!!!! This is hands down my favorite restaurant. I CRAVE the food here. The service is great and makes me so happy they’re walking distance.“

“R. House represents Baltimore super well, with great local businesses, affordable drinks and a charming, neighborly atmosphere. And they put on great events, even Mario Kart tournaments!“

“Excellent service and Great Food! Coming from a Mexican Texas Girl, i can 100% say the food was amazing! 100% recommend :)“

“This poblano / krispy krunchy chicken location rules so hard. I stop in a few times a month and its walkways great. Everyone working is super nice and chill, the food is awesome, and when there’s anyone else in the sitting area it’s always really chill. If you order online make sure to double check the order when you pick it up, but they are super good of correcting any mistakes they make.“

“My partner booked one of Little Havana’s private rooms for my 40th birthday party and they were PHENOMENAL from start to finish. In the planning phase, they were SUPER flexible with how to structure how much food to put out, open bar/ticket/bar limit pricing, and bringing outside dessert options. During the event, the food was plentiful and SO good, we had use of an AV projector so my partner could display a sweet slideshow of pictures, and the bar staff absolutely could not have been more friendly and helpful. They were attentive throughout, the space was perfect, and everyone was raving about the party. We had a group of about 75 people and I would HIGHLY recommend booking a party of that size there again!“

“The place is very simple, a couple of tables don't look like a restaurant, the waitress is very attentive and the food is delicious ?????. You spend around 60 dollars for two people, the water is 7 dollars each, the price of the water seemed a little high to me. But the price of the food is worth it ? it's delicious ???.“

“Birria Tacos we’re amazing!!! Everything was fresh and made in house! Little and quaint… can’t wait to go back!“

“he comido de hay por más de 10 años excelente comida todo muy rico“

“Only reviewing food because I placed a takeout order. Had Pupusas de Revueltas, Frijól y Queso, Al Pastor Torta, Birria Tacos, a Tamal, and Plantains. All were delicious. Best Birria I've found in Baltimore so far. Al Pastor Torta was great, the only thing I'd change would be to add maybe some Queso Oaxaca. Pupusas were delicious. Cinco de Mayo better watch out because El Pueblito can make a name for themselves in Baltimore. Will eat again!“

“This margarita is beautiful and delicious. And the service exceptional 💯💯💯“

“I had a veggie enchilada and for a restaurant in an airport it was really good“

“The only place that has actually kept their prices reasonable after the pandemic economic crisis. They don't overcharge you, and their cooks are not stingy with the food. The service is good, the restaurant is very quiet and the drinks are served in a huge jar 🍺. Their choice of Mexican dishes are healthy meals, freshly prepared dishes, decent portions, and great taste. This place is very undervalued. They also have a free parking lot across the street; truly a gem 👌🏼“

“Ordered the Dragon burrito it was fantastic. Guacamole very fresh . chips warm . service was exceptional. He really paid attention to my order .“

“La comida gourmet es de primera, rica y variada , pídanla y no se queden con las ganas , Yo la recomiendo“

“Let me start by saying I know not another gringo on the planet that has gone tamale seeking with the same level of dedication as myself. In my five years in Baltimore I have tried tamales from dozens of spots in every neighborhood in the city.. simply put, This place has the best tamales in baltimore, maybe the east coast. There is a gas station off Buford highway in Atlanta that sells the only ones I can think of right now that compare. I’m sure there is more regional nuance to “Mexican” style tamales than I know of, but my basic understanding and experience particularly in baltimore has been with Mexican style tamales that are entirely corn based, versus Guatemalan tamales that use a rice flour with the corn mix that give them a more gelatinous texture. The Guatemalan style often comes wrapped in banana leaves versus corn husks like the Mexican. This spot sells the Mexican style, but are big, fat, fresh, spicy, and so moist they almost cross into the more Guatemalan style, but have the flavor profile of the entirely corn based “Mexican style” that I prefer. The Mexican style can only go bad if they are dry, these are the exact opposite. I prefer the verde chicken, but the red is great as well, and the traditional cheese and jalapeño also goes hard. For $4 per tamale, you might as well pick up all three and give each a shot… unless you’re looking for a quick lunch, in which case a can of soda and a single tamale comes to $5.50… This is my favorite five dollar lunch in baltimore city right here. Props to the charm city king of tamales straight out of the new Lexington market! I will be a regular popping in for a marginally healthy (all relative right?), top tier flavor, five buck lunch for years to come…“

“I come here often for lunch, the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and outgoing. The experience they gave my daughter today has her saying this is her most favorite place ever! I thank the manager and his staff for a wonderful experience,“

“I recently went to MD to visit family! It’s always hard to find tasty authentic mexican food. I was looking online for something quick & close by, I found this truck & I was surprised on how delicious this food was! Prices are reasonable, friendly staff. Let’s not forget about the fresh flavored waters! highly recommend was not disappointed.“
