“Family Owned and Operated Outstanding Service and the Food is Delicious 😋 Definitely Recommended fresh mango water“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“Someone, ANYONE! Please explain to me who tf eats nachos like this?! Apparently the people at Qdoba do! 🤮 I have NEVER in my life ordered nachos and received chips in a bag on the side, and all the wet toppings thrown together in one f***ing bowl like this. Disgusting. And to top it off, they took $ outta my acct twice and now tell me I have to wait 5-7 days to get it back. These mofos will NEVER get my business again. Knew I should've just went to Cafe Rio. Smmfh. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 **This was the Glen Burnie location on Ritchie Hwy! **“

“I love Mexican food & this spot is one of my favorite, but as of lately the food have been off. I have been a faithful customer for over 3 years, so I'm familiar with the taste/quality of the their food. This new team they have in the Baltimore location, is not keeping up with the standards. The past several months that I went to Waverly location for the fajita burrito, it was completely off. I've experienced multiple of different issues, with my once favorite spot. *lukewarm/cold meat or burrito *cheese not melted *meat tasted weird *order incorrect or mixed up *size extremely smaller I know they are a busy business & they have always been that, but the quality has dropped. They still are a great establishment; with an excellent food selection. That's why they have faithful customers, that support them on a regular. I hope they use this feedback/review as a means to improve their services, to the same standards/quality as before. 😊“

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 :)“

“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 ???.“
