If you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos this spot delivers. I ordered a mix of birria, asada,…read moreand chorizo tacos. the chorizo was my favorite. The meat was flavorful, well seasoned, and served with onions, cilantro, radishes, and lime. The red salsa packet deserves a special mention. It had a great smoky flavor with a spicy kick that I enjoyed. The service was excellent. The staff checked on us several times and made sure we were okay. The restaurant itself feels very authentic, with Mexican snacks, desserts, and beverages available. My only suggestion would be to provide wet wipes at the tables because the tacos can get pretty messy (which is usually a good sign when it comes to great tacos!). Overall, this is easily one of the top taco spots I've visited in Baltimore. Great food, friendly service, authentic atmosphere, and reasonable prices.

Food was solid, drinks were just alright. Server wasn't the best, kinda rude and not very attentive.read more

I love they have a waiting room, that doubles at a Carryout pick up and merch shop, so genius. It reminds me that Baltimore food scene is on the rise. I've been here before with my chef and the back of house crew, but I had to run it back; because I loved it Food was great, I enjoyed the queso fundido, the chihuahua queso was delight. The tacooooooos, this gotta be their bread and butter I definitely bodied it. The flan was classic, I got what I expected. Definitely high on my recommendation list, if you haven't you should go and if you have it's probably been a minute go run it back solo or w/ the homies

Health: A menu with wide variety and genuine Hispanic cuisine is more than appreciated. Rice,…read moresalad, meat, soups. It's there and cooked without oil immersion or the awful trap of terrible portioning. Here, the nutrients shine. And that is healthy. Price: Decent. Very Decent. Everything I bought there was roughly over 45 dollars (before the tipping) and keep in mind, the condiments and sauces were complimentary. For this quality and quantity? I definitely got my money's worth. Experience: Wonderful server. Even in a busy dinner cycle, she came over and literally started to hand me a menu almost right as I sat down. Even gave me a great recommendation for the Enchilada platter and brought the holster of extras over to the table as well. The food was delivered quickly, and the small details (utensils, cleanliness, chair organization etc.) were great. Taste: Honestly this place is a standout for seasoning. It's flavorful, unique, and skewed towards spices over oil. Tasteful impact, without the baggage. A gem. Even among so many other restaurants serving this cuisine in the area I've tried, this is a standout. I'll come eat here again. You should too. It's right next to Patterson park with so many parking spaces nearby. I'm gonna run here. Soon.

Don't let the outside deceive you. Once you walk in you'll smell the fresh cilantro and chile. It took a bit to translate the menu, but you'll figure it out. There are plenty of options. The server helped us figure it out and we were set. I ordered the El pastor tacos, beans & rice, and tortilla chips. The tacos were theeee best! What I loved the most is that the corn tortillas didn't fall apart!!! I hate it when I go to eat a taco and it falls apart. They cooked the tortillas enough so they held up, but were still soft. Did I already say how good the tacos were?! Along with the meat is cilantro, some onions, and you can top it with some green chili sauce. Sooooo good! The pico de Gallo was some of the best I've ever had. I know what you're thinking. How could you go wrong with pico de Gallo? Yeah, I wonder the same thing, but this pico was FRESH with just the right ratio of tomato, onion, cilantro, etc. Next time I'll order two of them. The chips are restaurant-made. That was our first indicator that the food was going to be ALL that we hoped it would be. AND it was. The beans were pinto beans. Memories from home and the ultimate comfort food. The were cooked perfectly with just enough seasoning. The rice was perfectly cooked too. This is the taco spot you need to try.

The ceviches are always beautiful, fresh, and tasty. I love the tacos and my husband is a big fan of the Barbacoa de Cordero. I always order the Strawberry Margarita, it is one of my favorite cocktails in Baltimore. The service is a little odd (we were charged twice last time, that was a whole headache) and it is beyond loud in here, so I cannot recommend it for a date night. We will keep coming back for the quality food and drinks.

This is a restaurant inside of a massive grocery store. There's decent signage, but it's basically a labyrinth and the restaurant sits on the backside. The staff was really friendly. I got an Al pastor burrito and esquires to go. The food is pretty good. It's not super authentic more of a fusion, but it hits the spot. The Alpa store taco had avocados in it, which really gave me a baja mexican food vibes. The salsa was great - I will definitely be asking for more next time. I was really impressed with how much grocery they had inside this market because it looks quite small from the outside, but it's quite large. It looks really well maintained, and the shelves were being stocked. I will definitely be stopping by for Hispanic grocery items and for a quick fusion bite - it's good to know I don't have to drive to Highland town.

The market location adds charm, and I'd love to return to explore more! The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff also created such a welcoming environment! We ordered the Birria Tacos with Consommé, which were one of the best I've had! The tender, flavorful meat and rich consommé make this dish a standout, especially when dipping the cheesy tacos. For the three tacos, we chose al pastor, asada, and carnitas. Each one was equally delicious with savory and smoky flavors. I'd highly recommend checking Cinco de Mayo Dos out and exploring the market while you're here in Baltimore!

Our server José was attentive, despite it being a somewhat busy spot. Doordashers in and out, but not forgetting the folks who came in to sit down; I really did appreciate that.

Super cute spot offering scrumptious tacos and mouth-watering drinks…read more I came in wanting to get take-out and decided to order the ribeye tacos with a side of pina salsa. The service was a bit slow, but there was only one person doing bar and taking orders, so she was getting everyone as fast as she could. Since I got takeout I didn't get to try their drink selection, but they looked absolutely divine. The tacos had an amazing flavor and the onions were caramelized to perfection, but overall it was a bit dry. There was a crema on top, but it didn't help to add moisture. The pina salsa was incredible though-- you can tell they use fresh pineapple instead of canned, and it wasn't spicy at all. The to-go order even came with a really cute branded bag! I would definitely recommend this spot. However next time I go, I would get some extra sauce on the side to make up for the dryness.
