50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Baltimore

“Great drinks, great food, and great service! As someone who lived in SoCal for a bit, the al pastor tacos were as fantastic as I would have gotten over there (the spicy hibiscus margarita was sooooooooo good). Our server Jonathan was AMAZING, and the manager Christopher was wonderful as well.“

“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!!“

Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. I will definitely be coming back! 😊“

“I genuinely love having Taqueria La Patrona right downtown. It’s one of those spots you can count on every time. The food is consistently delicious, super authentic, and full of flavor without trying to be anything it’s not. And the prices make it even better, you can eat well without overthinking it. The team is always friendly and welcoming, which just adds to the whole experience. It’s the kind of place that quickly becomes part of your weekly routine, and I’m more than happy to keep coming back.“

“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.“

“preparan buena comida y los recomiendo“

“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!“

“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!“

“Taco Town Inner Harbor is simply some of the absolute best Mexican food I've found on the east coast. The service is friendly, informed, and quick. The food is authentic Mexican cuisine with fresh, flavor-infused ingredients. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is seeking an authentic Mexican food experience.“

“Great food, great staff and great prices. The citrus lime shrimp need to have a permanent spot on the menu. All the ingredients are nice and fresh. More authentic food than chipotle. Great ambiance and clean space. They offer student discounts every tuesday after 12pm so I would definitely recommend for students or anyone who’s hungry.“

My favs are torta de milanesa de pollo and gorditas de tinga de pollo but honestly everything on the menu is great! Especially their tacos!!!“

“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 :)“

“If you want the best crispy tripa tacos and Tres Leches Cake in Baltimore City? Look no further! I've been a customer ever since I discovered them while walking my dog at Patterson park in 2018!

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.“

“Delicious food and good service, this place is awesome.“

“I called in my order of sopa de res and it was delicious! the person at the counter was very nice. food was hot and ready when when i got there. i decided to sit in for a little bit and eat and the atmosphere was nice. the place is also clean. music wasn’t too loud or anything.“

“Excellent food, wonderful people, and an outstanding experience every time I go. They have pool tables and a jukebox. I definitely recommend.“

“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“

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