50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Baltimore

“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!!“

“todo es buena comenzando el servicio al cliente“

“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!“

“This place is fantastic. The quality and freshness of their ingredients are amazing.“

“Lo mejor en comida mexicana“

“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 , great drinks, great establishment“

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

“Great food! Very generous portion for the burrito. Delicious salsas that accompanied the food. Spacious dining area for a downtown location. Loved the vibrant colors and big windows too! My husband appreciated that the music was loud enough to feel like we could have a semi private conversation but not too loud that he couldn’t focus.“

“deliciosa comida me encanto!!!!“

“Had a taste for Chipotle all day, but decided to see what offers DoorDash had, and saw they had a buy one get one for the chicken bowl. Made a very good decision getting this instead of Chipotle. Food was way more
flavorful and seasoned than Chipotle is, and couldn’t stop eating it while I drove home. I’m glad I decided to give them a try because I’ll probably pick them first everytime.“

“Barcocina's staff consistently demonstrated professionalism and a commitment to excellence throughout my mother's 70th birthday celebration. 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.“

“The staff was polite and the food came out very fast. There’s a lot of options on the build your own taco paper and they will also accommodate you if you don’t want any ingredient listed. Plus if it hadn’t been raining they have an outdoor covered seating area. It was just raining pretty bad when I visited.“

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

“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.“

“Bayside Cantina has amazing choices for vegans and vegetarians. All of the dishes can be made with an incredibly flavored impossible meat that everyone including carnivores will love. Great friendly service too. Highly recommend! ,“

“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 :)“

“Very quick, fresh food good customer service I ordered a bowl and got very little chicken like they ran out. I literally had maybe three or four chunks of chicken in there and the rest was the rice which was fine so it just made me eat a vegetable lol“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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 ???.“

“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!“

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

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

“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 is such a good place to eat at. The meat is well seasoned and every topping is so tasty. If you are near, you must give it a shot. The staff is willing to help you out making your choices and they explain to you what each item is.
You come for the food and you stay for the service!“

“Wow.

Came here by accident bc I was in the area. Was looking for a giant bowl of soup bc Baltimore decided to start winter today.

Caldo de res. Under the “Soups” section it just says “beef”. Most humble label in the world in my opinion because this giant, half-gallon (guesstimate), steaming-hot bowl of goodness came out w a small side of rice, 3 tortillas (thicker kind), a poblano pepper, and onions and cilantro you could put in. Best I’ve had in a while, huge thick chunks of fall off the bone, tender short-rib. All for $19.99, great price for the amount of meat you get. I’m just mad I didn’t get a photo before I inhaled the entire thing.

The worker didn’t speak much English but that’s when you know you’re gonna get some authentic stuff. I used the little Spanish I have to communicate my gratitude and praise.

The inside looks like a typical American bar (probably used to be), with a stage and a projector they probably use for events.

I will be back“

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

“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 👌🏼“

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

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

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