“Came into the restaurant on 11/29/25 at 12:36 p.m., store at 1470 Martin Boulevard, Middle River, MD.

OMG! The ENTIRE staff was welcoming (it felt like they were happy to see me!), the service was fast and helpful (I didn't feel rushed at all) and the restaurant was immaculate. I'm officially converted from Chipotle.“

“I’ve ordered from here 3 times in the past 5 months and every time I’ve ordered the food was 5/5. The wait time is a little long but the food is good for the prices. I’ve ordered the Yuca Frits Con chicharrones 2 times and pollo con tajadas once. The pollo con tajadas was very delicious and crispy and nice portion size.
The yuca frita was fried well and the chicharrones were fried and juicy not dry. They do give you curtido!“

“I don't know what's going on with this particular location but They don't seem to participate in online specials. I would have eaten here a dozen times over the past month but I can't order what I want I have to go over to the Campbell boulevard.“

“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.“

“Excellent food, excellent service 8-10“

“Bar none the best lengua tacos on the planet…. Excellent beer selection and the staff is wonderful. Get here 🌮“

“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.“

“We run Pinland Bowling Lanes on Dundalk Avenue. Tonight, not knowing what we were in the mood to eat, we stumbled across La Casita in Dundalk. I have to say, we were absolutely blown away. The food was spectacular and this will definitely be our go to for Mexican food in the future.“

“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. 😊“

“Thank you for helping us spoil our staff for Teacher Appreciation Week. everyone loved everything. The salsa was the number one request! We will definitely be back again for catering.“

“Great food Great drinks Great staff!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Deliciosa comida es primera vez que visitamos el lugar y quedamos encantados 100% recomendado los invito a que pasen a probar la deliciosa 😋 comida clacloyos 😋 chalupas 😋 tacos 🌮árabes 😋muy ricos 😋 y el servicio muy amable ...“

“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 ???.“

“This is my second time eating at Howard's the first time was through DoorDash and no complaints at all! They listened to special requests even though DoorDash does not allow that on the app, when I called they were very accommodating and removed items from the burritos. We just got our second order and we picked it up. The food was ready at the exact time they said it would be and just as good as the last time we ordered!!“

“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! ,“

“The tacos here are amazing. These asre authentic Mexican tacos i strongly recomend the Birria Tacos.“

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

“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“

“The best food in Baltimore md Amazing“

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

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

“Food is amazing and so is the service 🩷“

“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 👌🏼“

“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.“

“phenomenal service excellent drinks the food is absolutely amazing“

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

“FANTASTIC! I just tried a couple tacos on a whim from their truck at Taylor Ave and Loch Raven Blvd. and I'm very glad I did. I got the shrimp taco and the taco al pastor. Both were well crafted, the core proteins flavorful, the cheese, sauce and vegetables all extremely fresh, the shells hearty. The shrimp was especially fantastic, the seasoning didn't overpower its wonderful natural flavor, and the mild crumbled white cheese (queso fresco?) was a very nice compliment. The Taco al pastor was equally well made, and even more flavorful, with a unique blend of seasonings. While the seasoning wasn't my personal favorite, (slightly sweeter than I would like, though not extreme, with I think a little bit of cinnamon?) I was still happy to eat it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new flavor. Overall 5⭐ out of 5“

“Best cemita I’ve had in Baltimore by a MILE. Bread is perfect and overflowing with all the good stuff. Tamales were clearly exposed to some sort of radiation or the corn was grown with miracle grow as they’re gigantic ?. Basically one tamale is the size of two normal ones. Hole in the wall place but man oh man they know what they’re doing. Can’t wait to try more off their menu!“

“I order pupusas, sopes, enchiladas, gorditas and birria tacos. Every single dish was delicious and authentic. The sauces and tortillas are all homemade. Highly recommend this restaurant. The staff was friendly and they seem to be a popular spot in the community. Loved this food! Thanks for a great dinner.“

“QDOBA White Marsh never disappoints! Every time I visit, the food is fresh, delicious, and made exactly how I like it. The guac and queso is hands-down one of the best out there – creamy, flavorful, and the perfect topping or dip.

The staff is always friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. I appreciate how clean and well-organized the space is, and the service is consistently fast without feeling rushed.

Big shoutout to the team at White Marsh for making each visit a great experience. QDOBA is definitely worth checking out!“

“I ♡ El Habanero!The location is a food truck parked at the Carroll Motor Fuels gas station at the intersection of Eastern Ave and Kane St. They no longer have a menu on the truck and now only serve tacos, which are super delicious and incredibly affordable.The kind man told us that they served beef, pork, and chicken tacos, so we got one of each meat - 3 tacos for $10 flat. BRING CASH. The kind people working also don't really speak any English, but the transaction and service was very simple and fast regardless. I am definitely going to go back whenever I get gas again (also, the gas at this station is usually the lowest on this street as well. Very convenient!)The taste of the tacos were very fresh, the salsas are strong and spicy and accent the cilantro and onions very well, all over a slightly chewy soft corn tortilla. 3 tacos is a perfect portion, but if you're really hungry, I would say go for 4. My favorite was definitely the beef taco.

Kid-friendliness: Well, I don't think they have a mean bone in their bodies.

Parking: You can just park in the gas station for a few minutes, it's fine. If you're really worried or the gas station is busy, you can just park at the nearby Wendy's or Home Depot and just walk literally one minute. You don't have to pay for parking here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space for wheelchairs, however, do note that it IS a food truck, so you might have to speak up.“

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

“This was a beautiful hidden gem. The staff were so nice to my family they took the time out to explain the menu to me better because the menu was in Spanish. I only gave 4 starts for atmosphere because I wished the movie playing was in English so that my kids could be entertained while devoured my beautiful delicious meal . The strawberry butter pecan milkshake was my own signature flavor and they excuted beautifully . I plan on returning again in the near future. Thank you for great food and service.“

“Came in for the first time today with my mother. Had the ‘Mariscada’ seafood broth and it was tasty and filling. Would eat there again.“

“Delicious quesabirrias and very friendly staff“

“Excellent service🎯 Nice atmosphere & vibe. Beautiful waitress

Vegetarian options: Salmon was huge and well cooked😋

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarians can eat there.

Parking: I wanted to try something new. Glad I chose this place. Try them out🔥

Kid-friendliness: Kids would be cool there. Nice restaurant sit down area.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter.“
