Mexican Restaurants near Burtonsville

“A black woman with her hair in a high pony tail served me today. I forgot to ask her name but she was SO nice. She made sure my food was perfect and filled my drinks up (instead of leaving them 75% filled). She offered me a bag and cup holder and overall was so polite. I NEVER tip but today i wish i had cash to tip her (i thought about giving her a box of candy i had lol). I’m going to go back and tip her.Despite ordering ahead on mobile, i had to wait a little bit for food. But i didn’t even care because she was so polite about it.Would go back just for her. Thank you, mystery woman.“

“Cool restaurant with fresh, creative Mexican food. Wide variety of vegetarian and meat options. Friendly service. I couldn’t find anywhere to park and parked a ten minute walk away. Maybe there’s somewhere closer that I don’t know about. The new salad was super good and the pasole was good too.“

“My first time trying this place, I was on my way to work running late...stop to grab tacos to go...but I sat down to eat just ONE taco and told myself I'll save the rest for work....a long story short, i ended up late for work because i couldnt stop eating the rest of my food...the food was so good i couldnt get UP, i had to finish the rest, it was so DELICIOUS...!!!! BEST TACOS IN LAUREL!! ?“

“If you love delicious, authentic food. You've found the place!Sabor Chapin Offers amazing service, delicious food I highly recommend the Carne Asada! Compared to other local Taquerias, Sabor Chapin has Columbia’s top most flavorful tacos, and Carne Asadas! Their pasta is absolutely delectable too. The best part you get exactly what you pay for and honestly more. I recommend Sabor Chapin to everyone and not one person has disagreed on how amazing the food is. Amazingly the man who runs the show is the chef himself!I so highly recommend and support his small business. I hope to see him open his restaurant soon.“

“The food here is a solid five. Saw this Taqueria and wife and I decided to give it a try. We had Empanadas, Steak Quesadilla and the fabulous Tripleta Sandwich. All 3 were very delicious, especially the Tripleta sandwich. Why couldn't I have found this Taqueria sooner.“

“My family and I celebrated my sister's birthday at El Aguila this weekend and we had so much fun! The food was delicious and cooked perfectly, the workers were organized and served the food to 64 guests quickly and without any problems. I would recommend El Aguila to those looking to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant has plenty of space for events large or small. Guadalupe really did a great job communicating from the beginning of the reservation to the end. Thank you for making this day even more special!My family and I celebrated my sister's birthday in El Aguila this weekend and we had a lot of fun!

“These are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because they are STINGY with the sauces and with the family tacos deals they force you to choose 3 meats which limits people like me who don’t eat pork or beef.“

“I dropped in on an early Monday evening for take-out and had a drink while I waited. They have some pretty awesome menu items and it was quite difficult for me to chose. I opted for the veggie chimichanga. I ordered a margarita, snacked on some chips and delicious salsa and enjoyed the wait. After I dug in at home, I was pleasantly pleased with the presentation of my food along with the tastiness. It was amazing! I couldn't believe I've lived in the area my whole young adult years and never been there! Definitely a place to keep in your pocket!“

“Food is absolutely AMAZING. The only 2 things: Resturant is extremely small and tight. Everyone that came in was getting TO GO orders, and they only had 1 or 2 waiters for the whole restaurant. I get that it's small, and the 2 waiters they have are good, but they are the only 2, and they can't do everything for everyone so waiting to order or get drinks, silverware is a little challenging especially if the restaurant is busy!“

“Consistently fantastic! This Latin restaurant never disappoints with its delicious and authentic cuisine. From mouthwatering empanadas to flavorful arroz con pollo, every dish is a winner. The ambiance is inviting, the service is excellent, and the flavors always hit the spot. A must-visit for any food lover! 15+ years and still DELICIOUS“

“This use to be the old Applebees I think but it's handling it's business very well! It's Sunday and not a table around! The bar was stocked with patrons but our wait was t long at all. Once seated a very nice waitress approached and gave us menus. We asked for recommendations and I really like that she took the time to ask us what was our preferred choice of spirits so she could offer us something based on our preferences-BIG KUDOS! My selection of the Cancun Margarita didn't disappoint! It comes in an actual pineapple with plenty of liquor but not overpowering! The guacamole was supposed to be made table side but it was so crowded she couldn't get down the aisle with her cart! Although I like that experience as you're able to ask them to add a little more lemon or such/such but it was GREAT! We chose the queso with ground beef but that isn't anything special with that. I did see a Snapper on another table that I want to try with my next visit! Parking is great(in the shopping center lot) prices are reasonable and the staff all seem to care. Everyone chipped in on duties the manager even came around to tables thanking patrons for being there. Bathrooms were clean and easily accessible even under the influence of 2 of those drinks(had a little stumble ) and oh yes they sneak up on you so don't be like me and choose more than you should. Overall, I can see myself driving back here for happy hours or even a late night meal! Another table had some Mexican Candy shits( these weren't regular shots though) those WILL definitely be the first drink on the next visit!“

“This place is neither an Indian nor a Mexican restaurant. The people who work here are mostly Mexican/Latin Americans (I didn't see any Indian Americans working here) but the food has Indian influence(the keyword is "influence"). So take it for what it is, It's good for a cheap quick bite but that's about it. Don't expect anything more than that. If I had half a star I would give this a 4.5 but I believe 4 stars is not too harsh either.“

“I was craving empanadas and got the cheesy beef empanadas. No regrets there, they were truly excellent. The worst part was they were ready so fast by the time I picked them up they had cooled a bit. Came with chips and salsa. The chips were seasoned and the salsa had the right amount of kick to it. This was my first visit but it surely won't be my last.“

“If you're on a high horse, or you're not a genuine lover of humble people and establishments, don't even bother. This place is for the rest of us. Nothing fancy about this place. It's made like a coupling of large food trucks. Authentic Mexican food, ran like the spots in the Southwest and Mexico! I had the Birria tacos and horchata. Yummy! My son had a traditional taco and it was fantastic.“

“THE BEST Mexican food you are going to find in Maryland! I have been coming here almost everyday for my lunch just to try a different dish and every single one has been DELICIOUS and authentic! I am so happy to find this here considering I have moved here from Calirfornia!!! This is amazing“

“Nicest staff here and the food was incredible!!!I’m from California where the MEXICAN FOOD IS FOR REAL. And this is THE ONLY PLACE AS GOOD AS CALI MEX!!!! I’ve been to like 20 Mexican spots and been disappointed every time mumbling after “Not as good as Cali but still love Mexican so it’s ok.”Not here!THIS PLACE ROCKS!!! Best Mexican in the area hands downnnnnnnnnnn~~~~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~~“

“Good portion! Everything was well seasoned and fresh. I had the steak bowl (grilled peppers, grilled corn, salsa, sour cream, cheese) and a large side of chips and guacamole. Chips were salted and the guacamole was fresh with a hint of citrus. After the bowl, I couldn't finish the chips but it wasn't for lack of trying! lol. 100x better than Chipotle and they give adult portions. Only issue - it arrived ice cold! like it was in the fridge. Quick reheat and it was all good.“

“This place is a little hard to find but definitely worth the effort. Great Mexican food and fantastic service. The servings are huge, I think the queso dip could serve 8 people. Margaritas were okay but beers from the giant cooler of beer were cold and refreshing.“

“Have been in and out of that Exxon many times, and never even considered eating here. I was hungry and grabbed a chicken quesadilla to go. It was one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, have since been back and gotten the steak and some other things. The cheese pulls are ridiculous. Hidden Gem!“

“A nice little food truck near the university of Maryland. I came here for a fencing tournament with my girlfriend and we want to satisfy our yearning for tasty Mexican food. We found this food truck 4 mins away from the university of Maryland. I loved their gorditas, and they have a good variety of tacos and even serve birria as well.“

“My husband treated us to lunch from Krazi Kebob, and his recommendation of the Chicken Kati Rolls turned out to be an absolute game-changer for my taste buds. As someone unfamiliar with this type of food, I had no idea what to expect, but let me tell you, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Chicken Kati Rolls. The chicken was bursting with flavor. The recommended side of spicy sauce added an extra kick that elevated the overall experience. To complement the rolls, we also ordered fries. They were perfectly cooked and paired exceptionally well with a mayo dip. Adding to the positive experience was the seamless pick-up process. Ordering was a breeze, and when we arrived to collect our meal, everything was ready and waiting. Definitely coming back!“

“First time experience was fabulous! Fresh good, tasty and at a great price (about 20 bucks for what's pictured). I'm full and haven't finished the meal (there's rice under that chicken). So glad this is in my neighborhood!“

“This place made my little Texan heart so happy! Our family came on Valentine’s Day & enjoyed complimentary chips & salsa, tasty TexMex (My cheese enchiladas were perfect!), and I got to introduce my MIL to sopapillas (these were much smaller than what you find in Texas but still delicious).I often long for TexMex but between the expense of restaurants and the high chance of being disappointed, I rarely venture out. We’ll be back!Kid-friendliness: Easy- going atmosphere with kid chairs & menu (kid meals <$10)“

“Outstanding Mexican food truck that gives you all the flavor of a taco truck on the west coast. The carnitas tacos were not dry unlike a lot of local taco joints and the birria tasted almost exactly like home. Whatever you are eating here, pour that red salsa on top, it is incredibly flavorful.“

“Great spot for a large party, amazing service and delicious food. Wine by the bottle is very reasonable and cocktails are well made.The sense of humor is delightful as demonstrated with the photo hung in the bathroom in a place that is sore to catch your eye ?“

“This place is good simple Mexican restaurant. It's not expensive but a very good experienceVegetarian options: Beans Burittos rice soup quesadillaDietary restrictions: Accommodation for gluten intoleranceParking: There is ample parking right next to the restaurant“

“I really enjoyed eating at Samantha’s! I was so surprised to walk in and see a lot of families eating in there, which told me this was a popular spot with potentially a lot of returning customers. We ordered the argentine steak that was supposed to come with a chimichurri sauce but didn’t appear present on the steak, more so “flavored” chimichurri I guess.. and I ordered beef and ribs fajitas. The rice and beans were really good and tasty. I enjoyed my beef fajitas, but the ribs were a little too saucy and more American bbq tasting than Latino style. I see that they have a pork ribs entree on the menu which I may try next time to see if they’re any but different than the fajitas.I really liked that they had a large menu with many options so we can try different stuff each time we come back. Will be returning soon with local family!“

“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“

“This place quickly became one of our family's go to eateries when they first opened. I've had a different meal each time we've gone here and every dish was delicious. We have gone probably ten times so far. Atmosphere is great and even better now after the remodel. The service is sometimes slow, but the staff are always friendly and helpful. The drinks are a little pricey too. I just paid ten bucks for a shot of Jack Daniel's on Friday. Most other places that would be between 6-8 bucks. Highly recommended Acapulco though.“

“Amazing food , the staff are very friendly and attentive , manager Edith is the best he is always at from checking everything making the customers special , my orders always are correct and food always are very delicious!Thank you Eddy and team!! District taco is the best !!! ?♥️Kid-friendliness: Great staff“

“Went today and had a taco salad and it was great!! Just the right combination of ingredients and was hit and NOT greasy. Server was very attentive and was watching as she removed the plate soon after finishing and stopped by a couple of times to see if everything was ok. Definitely will be returning“

“We showed up because we heard alot of good things about this new addition to the old town of Kensington, at adds a little more flavor and spice to the historic area. Very nice staff, smiley, helpful and quick service with a smile! The area has a lot of nice little shops and small walk in places to check out the relaxed atmosphere will lure you in but don't Ben fooled they are BUSY!!!“

“Just to clarify for everyone they used to have a restaurant until university of MD bought the complex back in Oct and evicted everyone so they can knock it down and build dorms. They have food trucks currently and hopefully will have a restaurant again. By far the best tacos I've had in MD in the last 20 years.“

“Well this is the second time, the first time I ate Menudo it was very good but the truth is they take too long to serve you, and now I better ordered by phone so I wouldn't have to wait I ordered a Cuban cake and the truth is I have no idea what part of Cuba it was because It is totally different from the Cuban cakes I have eaten, but it was really delicious.“

“We love the food here. There are many good options although we often go back to same ones because they are so good - Montaditos, Buey al Jerez, patatas bravas, esparragos, chuleta, veiras, to name just a few. With the great choices even the younger members of the family find food they love. And the staff is very friendly and welcoming. We've eaten here for many years and will continue to do so!“

“I love this place. Used to go to Tippy's Tacos in College Park....for many years, and only realized the connection about 10 years ago. I don't go anywhere else for tacos or any Mexican food. Their guacamole is top notch. Even the sodas are good! I like the low key atmosphere and the staff are quite nice. Toucan Taco is the best place to go if you want good food, low key atmosphere and good people.“

“eunice,with all respect to your review but no where in the area red-snapper cost $13.99 a red snapper wont cost you less than $30 in any type of restaurant from low end to high end. living cost are going up every day. prices are difficult to maintain always the same. i’m a customer that have been visiting from a longtime and have seen the prices changes but the quality and quantity of my food will never change. if you want to maintain the quality of the of a good product you pay for it.Food is definitely good BUT the prices you see on the menu ARE NOT what they charge you.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Food is definitely good BUT the prices you see on the menu ARE NOT what they charge you.I ordered a fried fish and they asked me if I wanted tilapia or red snapper, I said snapper. The menu showed 13.99 for tilapia, so I figured the snapper would be around that price, they charged me $25 for that plate. Not even in a fancy restaurant they charge that much for fried fish.Pupusas are 2.75, they are good.Tacos are 3.75, also good.The lady who cooks and serves is nice and it would’ve been a great experience if it wasn’t for the overcharge.If you show a price on the menu commit to it, or just adjust the prices. Easy.“

“This place is great, it has many options and the food is very delicious. I tried the quesabirra this time and I think I prefer they regular tacos instead. Specially their Al pastor and carnita tacos which are very flavorful! But overall their quesabirra was still delicious. The staff is friendly and the environment is very welcoming. I recommend trying this place out and coming back to try multiple things on their menu, because they have a lot of delicious options. Overall I highly recommend.“

“This experience was awesome. The hostesses were pleasant, Elsa the manager was professional and personable. Once seated and settled, our waitress Reagan was polite, friendly, and attentive to our specific needs. Even though I could tell how busy she was, she still made time for moments just to chat with our table for a bit which I always appreciate because it makes you feel welcomed. Elsa later returned back to our table to check on us and she even allowed for me to taste one of their freshly made tortillas. That's customer service at its finest. I will be returning and I recommend this location.Vegetarian options: The cauliflower (veggie) bowl was very tasty and flavorful. I didn't expect to like the taste of the cauliflower but I was wrong it was really good. I also was able to customize it by adding things and removing things with ease.“

“I have been here a few times now since its pretty close to where I live. The food here is good, the ingredients fresh, and the staff is always friendly. I usually order between burritos and bowls depending on my mood. They have a variety of different hot sauces on a shelf you can choose from. Great place for a quick bite to each on a lunch break.Also their burritos are MASSIVE. You WILL be full.“

“Food was FIRE. Ordered rotisserie chicken, and fajitas. Very tasty! So much flavor. Yellow rice was pretty good too. I ordered cole slaw as a side, and it was good but it seemed as if it was blended, mushy. Overall I would recommend this place.“

“We had a large gathering of 14 for dinner. Everything was great. Immediate attention by our server, Patricia. Patricia was pleasant and patient. The food and drinks were served quickly. The food was delicious with huge portions. The brought out the birthday cake that we brought, sang, and took back to the kitchen for cutting and serving. We stayed and were never pressured to leave after dinner. It was a very nice experience and would recommend! Will definitely be back.“

“Solid food really good quesadillas. The wait was not too bad after ordering, only about 15 minutes. Very friendly and kind. The truck is located by a gas station with plenty of parking which is nice. The truck has cool lights and the menu is on the truck and on little paper sheets by the window.“

“Absolutely amazing. I've been craving birria and when I saw that they had a birria pizza I was so excited. The green salsa was spicy and delicious ask my toddler he wouldn't stop dipping his piece in it. The birria it's self is juicy and perfectly seasoned. The Jamaica drink is incredible never had it till tonight. The staff are very friendly. Definitely coming back.“

“This is our third visit to El Azteca. We had a great dining experience each time. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food selection is extensive and delicious. With a reservation they easily accommodated our group of eight. Fantastic margarita selection too!“

“The burritos are great here: fresh ingredients wrapped in a beautiful, almost polished, tortilla.Chilled Jarrito sodas sold here too.I was surprised to find this is a food truck in a quasi-permanent installation near a gas station, but don't let that stop you. And, there is a suitable sit-down space across the street and the Takoma Junction community area including a covered area.One suggestion to the restaurant: add some more sauce options; my personal favorite is chipotle sauce ?“

“This is not a Restaurant, if you look for the place there is a house that apparently sells beer, on one side you will see a white food truck and this is where you have to order the variety of dishes they offer.The price-quality-flavor are very good and they are very worth enjoying either right there on some tables that they have which would be uncomfortable in cold weather because it is outdoors, so it is better to order to go.“

“Authentic Mexican cuisine! The preparation and the food itself was just like how it was when I went to Mexico. The staff is very nice, the atmosphere is very good, it is spacious, has Mexican decorations, and two TV’s in case you want to watch Mexican news / US news in Spanish or Mexican Soccer. There’s also a panadería / bakery in the restaurant with some delicious pastries. I really recommend Tacos al Pastor, or anything, honestly their food is so good!“

“Had my first visit to Banditos Columbia yesterday afternoon and it will be the first of many. My husband, friend and I had wonderful Happy Hour drinks and delicious tacos at the bar. The staff were really friendly and efficient - big shout out to Kyle (even though he is a Tottenham fan) and to Egypt. Both of you were wonderful,?“
