My first time coming here, and it was definitely the right choice. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, the…read moreplace was packed. The parking lot is small, and there's no sauce stand--which is probably my only downside. Because of the holiday, the wait was about 30 minutes for four tacos, which was a bit longer than I would've liked. That said, it was worth it. Taqueria Los Primos has always been my go-to spot and, up until now, the best tacos I've had in Maryland--but Los Perez takes the top spot for me. I was a little thrown off seeing the hot sauce come in a plastic packet, but it was actually super fire. I'd come back here all the time. This place could easily hold its own against some of the best Mexican spots in Los Angeles. Highly, highly recommend if you haven't been yet.

The chicken was seasoned well and the carnitas were flavorful, the accompanying sauces - salsa verde y roja were incredible! The tacos were filling and accompanied with limes, cilantro, and radishes. My husband enjoyed both the cabeza and the asada, he especially loved the cabeza as it was very juicy and flavorful. We did pickup from the restaurant, calling the order in ahead was straightforward, and it was ready within 15 minutes. The ambiance of the restaurant is very special, beautifully decorated, with plenty of seating. Would definitely go again!

I will for sure be back!

An establishment for a reason!…read more I will never turn down tacos and firmly believe that they're hard to get wrong. I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

I've passed here about 50x since they've opened and finally came with my brother Saturday evening…read more The food here was so delicious and authentic. My brother ordered a horchata and I ordered an Apple juice to start. No alcohol at this establishment. Thankfully my AJ came in bottled and I sipped my brother's horchata which was sweet & delightful. We ordered fries for our appetizer (menu is entirely Spanish so look online) then we proceeded to order our main dishes to share- Birria quesadilla, birria tacos, steak & cheese quesadilla and a side of plantains. All came out hot and all sauces were provided without having to ask. Our waitress was sweet and we ended Sibling Saturday with some churros that came with a side of caramel sauce. One thing for sure, you will leave with a to-go bag. Give El Patron a try, don't be fooled by the parking lot.

The scallops were cooked to perfection, and as someone who loves good seafood, they definitely hit the spot. My husband ate most of the steak, and he said it was really good.

Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

From classic Mexican tacos packed with well-seasoned meats and fresh toppings to authentic Salvadoran pupusas with perfectly crisp exteriors and gooey, flavorful centers served alongside tangy curtido, every dish tastes homemade and full of care. The Honduran baleadas are just as satisfying warm, soft tortillas layered with creamy beans, cheese, and fresh add-ins that make each bite comforting and rich. Beyond the savory menu, their dessert selection is worth saving room for, with sweet treats like flan and pastries that feel fresh, light, and not overly sugary. The service is warm and personable, and the atmosphere feels like a neighborhood favorite where locals know they're getting quality food without the fuss. If you're near Second Street and craving authentic Latin flavors, this spot absolutely delivers.

The special Apple Cider Reposado margarita was good but we didn't taste any of the cider, just straight up tequila but it was good. You can also order margaritas in passion fruit, mango, strawberry, and hibiscus flavors. They get extra points because of the passion fruit flavor. The complimentary chips were okay, but the salsa stood out, it had an authentic/in house made flavor. For the main meals, everyone at the table was satisfied. We had an order of the shrimp and chicken fajitas, beef floutas and the salmon a la parrilla, grilled salmon topped with homemade mango salsa served with mixed green salad, rice & beans. The mango salsa was tasty but I didn't like how runny it was. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant itself looked clean and well-kept, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. I would come back and try a few other items on the menu. The online menu is a bit different from what we had in person, I didn't see the mussels on the menu given to us in the restaurant. Happy Hour is from 3-7pm. This is a solid spot for a casual night out with friends for good margaritas, authentic touches, and a welcoming atmosphere.

They just need more veggies so that you can really have your way with the sauce. Skip the guac... it needs more avocado and flavor. The Tamal de Elote is also very yummy. Ate it too fast, forgot to take a pic. The service is great, there are plenty of waitstaff floating around. The parking lot can get crowded but there's plenty of parking across the street if needed. Ambiance is fun. It's super loud in the restaurant, partially because of the plethora of Happy Birthday performances with the instruments and all. Honestly, just join in the singing and clapping. Why not.

Decided to come to Chidos for HH since I had a class in the area…read more HH is from 1-6pm and since I had a late day at the office, I was pressed for time. I looked at the menu ahead of time and my homegirl sent me pictures to confirm. This way I already knew what I wanted (flautas & passionfruit margs) I came in, sat down and waited for a bartender to acknowledge our look my way so I could order. I was able to get my order in just in time and informed them I'd need a refill before it was over. My flautas came out as two taquitos cut in half and I just laughed. Barely any lettuce piled on top with sour cream and salsa on the side. Really, two tortillas rolled around chicken and cheese. It was hilarious. It was just barely much food at all and I didn't want to try anything else so just asked for my refill. Check came and got charged full price. When I asked about it, I was given a smart response and told they wouldn't take it off again like they were doing me a favor or I was trying to get over SMH They're lucky that passionfruit marg was hitting or it would have been challenging to go back.

I wanted to give this place a try since I saw they opened a second location down the road, but the…read morefood ended up being just average definitely could be the items I selected. The lettuce and tomatoes had a bit of an off-putting "kitchen smell," which made me wonder if they were pre-bagged rather than freshly chopped. The Tostadas These felt like they had been premade and sitting out. The moment I touched mine, it cracked completely and was already quite soggy-even though I ordered and ate right inside the restaurant. The Burrito was probably the best part of the meal, though it was still just okay and nothing too exciting. I was expecting fresh, warm chips and traditional homemade salsa because it said it came with the burrito. Instead, the chips tasted a bit stale, and the salsa was the thin green sauce typically used as a taco topping, not the classic dipping style.

Taco review…read more Seafood is clearly their focus / specialty, but the tacos were solid. People complain about fattiness, but I like my meat moist and flavorful, gotta have some fat to make that happen. I concede that the meat isn't particularly "flavorful" beyond the taste of the meat itself, but that's fine by me. They provide two types of salsa to punch it up to your liking. I don't want my steaks covered in spices, I want to taste the beef. So these tacos were good in my book. I got cabeza and barbacoa. A LOT of meat per taco. Comes with a two salsas, a deep fried little onion, a pickled pepper, cucumber, lime, and radish. (And salt packets ). I was really pleased with it. I want to come back and try the ceviche or seafood cocktails.

Mid. Such a disappointment. I hate wasting money on mid tacos…read more 1. Barbacoa was literally ALL fat and gristle. I was so mad. 2. Carnitas - cooked well but no flavor. It was hard to keep eating. 3. Al Pastor - meat was tough and dry. 4. Cabeza - literally all fat, not worth it Mehhhh, so disappointing. Also it only came with 1 salsa type that was good but super smoky. Would've liked the typical option of salsa Verde as well
