We tried this restaurant for a late lunch/early dinner. We ordered drinks and a few apps. The blackberry mojito was good. The elote could have been a bit more seasoned. If you can get the Mexican pizza, certainly try it because it was delicious. read more

Mucho Gusto has usually been a solid place for us, which is why this last visit caught us off guard. My lady ordered the beef enchiladas, and after the first bite she realized it just wasn't to her liking. We mentioned it to the manager right away since the dish had barely been touched, thinking there might be an opportunity to switch it out for something else. Unfortunately, we were told that due to their policy the item could not be removed from the bill and we would still need to pay for it. That was surprising because most restaurants are willing to work with you when a dish clearly isn't enjoyed after the first bite. The food here has usually been good, which is why this experience stood out. It just felt like there was a missed opportunity from a customer service standpoint to turn the situation around. Hopefully management considers being a little more flexible in situations like this in the future. read more

This review is for Mucho Gusto of Towson. My friend and I have visited this location about four times. They all except this last visit were very enjoyable. The most recent visit was this last Thursday Feb.12th 2026 in the evening. The wait time for a table was about 30 minutes, which not an issue for good cuisine, service & drinks. We sat at the bar till called for out table. We had a couple of excellent drinks before being seated. As always, we order the spicey Guacamole and it was fantastic "Again". The friend and I agreed that it's enough for two people to share as a meal. We were both full after it was gone. The server was excellent. She attended to us faithfully. I ordered the Chimichanga as I've done before. This time it was extremely dry and no sauce of any type on it. (I couldn't eat it) The refried beans were good, but a tiny bowl for $5.00. The included side salad was just glorified lettuce with some onions on it. The food is not authentic Mexican. The mixed drinks are priced on the HIGH END. $18 - $20 for a Manhattan. I don't plan on returning unless my friend wants to and if so, I will stick to the Guacamole. read more

Service was great. Had the al pastor nachos and the al pastor was delicious with signs of pineapple present. The churro martini was a tasty treat as well. read more

Chips and Salsa to start were on point! Queso was good but different from expected. Robust brunch menu and the steak eggs were great. The highlight for me tho was the fried plantains. The BEST I've ever had. Cannot wait to have them again. read more

Mucho Gusto - Plantains - Mexican Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Excellent chips and salsa, great customer service, fantastic food and plenty of free parking. The fried plantains here are some of the best around. I make my own because it's hard to find good ones in this area, but Mucho Gusto does them right. Yummers!! The carne asada small plate is DLicious with smooth and tender carne asada strips. Fantastic fajitas and decent cocktail selection. It does get a little loud and the restaurant area tables are VERY VERY close to each other. So, if you're ready to make some new friends when out to dinner this is your place! read more

Great margarita here. I so infrequently get a flavored marg. It's never real juice. And here it ACTUALLY IS!! And I hate sour mix...none at MUCHO GUSTO I loved the Bel Air location so I took my husband to Towson. It's a bit smaller but great service and the food was super impressive. I had a birria burrito and it even came with a side salad. My husband liked the size of the tacos with generous portions of protein. Average people can have 2 and be happy and not overspend. Boomin shrimps were surprisingly large and tasty! Red sauce for the carne asada was chimichurri - nice touch. FYI- outdoor patio is dog friendly read more

Great restaurant! Came here on a first date, and we arrived early, around 5 pm, and the restaurant was pretty empty. I loved the decor, and our server was super attentive and offered recommendations when we asked. It was happy hour when we arrived, so we ordered a happy hour appetizer of loaded tots, and I got a house margarita, which I asked our server for a low pour (less alcohol), and she did, and the margarita was delicious. It was dusted with what looked like cinnamon-colored sugar around the rim. It didn't taste like cinnamon, but it did taste perfect. For our main entrees, I got the birria tacos, and they were super. The consommé broth for dipping was very oily, even after stirring. So I didn't use too much of that. The birria tacos weren't dry, so I didn't need the consomme, but I would have liked to dip them if they weren't so oily. My date got the enchiladas with refried beans and rice, and it was huge -- enough for at least three meals -- and she took at least half home. I saved enough room for dessert, and we shared this warm brownie with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious and plenty filling for us to share. As this restaurant filled up, the noise and volume went up considerably. We noticed the higher metal ceilings, which don't dampen sound very well. That was the only negative, if you can call it that, as it was hard to hear my date sitting across the table from me. All in all, a great meal, reasonable prices, excellent service, a friendly hostess --I can't complain --and I look forward to a future visit here. read more

Visited on a busy Sunday afternoon. Parking is busy but opens up towards the back. Seated with no wait for 4 people. For $13 and no upgrades, the margarita was a little on the small side, and the watermelon flavor was very subtle. I love the food at Mucho Gusto, here and at the Bel Air location. Ingredients are all fresh and flavorful. I had the burrito Ranchero and no complaints. The fresh guacamole and chips were on the pricey side but ok. I would recommend, as I have visited the 2 locations before. read more

I decided to give Mucho gusto a try after a string of mediocre restaurants in Towson U neighborhood. Service by bartenders Kyle and Stephen were top notch. Food was decent, unfortunately. Nachos were a-ok. Texture of it isn't what I would expect from a more upscale Mexican place. Wasn't too impressed with the chicken quesadillas either. Birria sliders were pretty nice: dipping sauce was spot on although the beef was a bit dry. My favorite cocktail was their fresh fruit martini: I had it with their guava puree base and it was a lovely vodka martini. Also liked their red sangria but the jalapeño margarita was a-OK. Hardly any jalapeño flavor other than a slice of jalapeño pepper that was in it. A relatively nice happy hour experience overall and I may return when I'm back in Towson. read more

The restaurant has a really cute vibe to it, I love the decor and lighting of the place. Our waitress was very friendly as well. We got seated within 10-15 minutes of arriving, and the restaurant was pretty crowded on a Saturday night. The Chicken Burrito was good and pretty standard, I wish the side salad had more veggies to it. The Crab Enchiladas tasted nice, especially with the sauce it came with. I did feel like the Chicken Fajitas could've had more meat to it, but that tasted fair as well. I would definitely recommend their margaritas, as they had a wide variety of flavors! The Hibiscus Margarita was definitely one of my favorites. read more

I've heard great things about Mucho Gusto so came to check it out for lunch. When we entered, the bar area is directly in front of you with the host stand to the left. There wasn't a hostess on duty, which was no problem. I made eye contact with the bartender a few times but she did not say anything like we'll be with you in a minute or something to that effect, which I thought was odd given the proximity to the bar and the fact that we waited for a hot minute for anyone to say anything to us. A gentleman came over after a minute or so and seated us. We ordered drinks, apps, and entrees. The drinks were excellent! I had a patron margarita which was strong but not overpowering. We had the nachos with steak which were delish. I had the mahi tacos which were also very good and came out crispy, hot, and fresh. The service was slightly slow - but I chalk that up to a busier than average lunch rush since we came between Christmas and New Year's. They have a great menu and I would come back! They do add gratuity pretty liberally - for example, every check on taco Tuesday. I believe they also do it during happy hour, as well as over a certain party size or dollar amount. Our server did inform us right as he gave us the check so they aren't trying to hide it, which I appreciated as well. read more

Solid place for good drinks and good food. They have a pina colada, it's not frozen so I was skeptical but it's good! Everytime I drink it I feel like if I close my eyes I'm at a tropical resort lol I often pick this place as my after work happy hour spot. read more

Mucho Gusto - Mexican Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Nice new spot in Towson in the shops at Kenilworth center if you like Tex-Mex. Came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon last weekend and it wasn't too crowded. There was plenty of parking so I was able to get a spot right in front. There was no wait to be seated. The waiter came out and took my drink order. They have house made chips and salsa but you much purchase it so it's not complimentary. I will warn you they have a drink that you can have a photo printed out on. Please make sure you clarify you want the photo printed drink. Don't do like me and ask for the drink with the picture because they will bring you picture of a drink. I ended up accidentally getting a whole pitcher of margaritas. They have a no refund policy on all drink purchases so I was stuck with it. The food was great. I had enchiladas with salsa verde. It was three decent sized chicken enchiladas with a Side of refried beans and Spanish rice. Everything was very tasty. I would like to head back and try their brunch menu. Other than the drink miss-hap it would have been a 5 star experience. I would come back again. read more

Service was great, our server had a really calm welcoming attitude and made good suggestions on what to order. I tried to buy a gift card online and my card said it was pending and we never received the email to use the gift card although the $100 was taken out. It was frustrating that they were unable to do anything on their end to fix the gift card purchase delay so I ended up having to use my credit card, while still having a pending $100 for a gift card we've never received in the email. In the photo~ Queso Fundido, blend of Mexican & Spanish cheeses melted down in a hot skillet w/ chorizo. Menu said it's supposed to be "Topped with pico de gallo", but you can clearly see there's none of that and the cheese wasn't as thick as I expected it would be...a bit watery. Ambiance was nicely lit with natural lighting when we ate. read more

As a huge Mexican food fan, Mucho Gusto did not disappoint. I came here for a date and this was both of ours first time here. Service was fast and consistent. Our server was very nice. Special shoutout to the bartender because those Mucho Margarita was strong! I had a watermelon margarita and my date tried the strawberry margarita. I wanted another but all I needed was one. The guacamole was fresh and sooo good. I pretty much ate it by myself because my date was not a fan of avocado. I had the birria tacos and my date had the shrimp tacos. The birria was so tender and the consumme was delicious. My date enjoyed his shrimp tacos. While I'm on the fence about going on a second date with the guy, I definitely have another date with Mucho Gusto! read more

Everything here is fantastic! Service is always impeccable and the food is delicious every time we go!!

This was my fourth time to Mucho gusto in Towson. It's in the Kenilworth Plaza with great parking and indoor/ outdoor seating. They sell freshly made dishes and also have the cutest drinks. There is a specific drink that you can choose that you can put your picture on. The servers are always nice and the restaurant has a couple cute photo ops for those they want to take pictures. I love the boomin shrimp tacos. And the drinks are nice too. read more

Food was great, drinks the best and loved our waiter. Why on earth is there an 18 percent gratuity charge for 2 people? This just stinks! I am a generous tipper but I guess a lot of your customers are low life's who do not Tip. This makes me not want to come back. read more

I visited Mucho gusto for an after work happy hour, and despite the hustle and bustle from local graduations and proms, the bartenders managed the crowd impressively. My drink and food were served quickly and everything was absolutely delicious. I even requested a drink that wasn't on the menu and it was crafted to perfection. A must-visit spot in the Towson area- great food, a welcoming ambiance plenty of parking. read more

Mucho Gusto - Guacamole and Spicy Mucho Marg - Mexican Near Me - Towson, Maryland

The best damn burrito I've ever had..... burrito ranchero. We come all the time and love the margs and empanadas and decided to try an entree. I didn't even think I liked burritos like that till I tried this burrito. read more

I'm a fan of Mexican food however, it's where my friends wanted to eat and I tagged along. I ended up ordering a burger and really enjoyed it. I ordered fries and they were delicious too. Again, I'm not a fan of Mexican cuisine guacamole excluded. Not everyone prepares it the way I like it so imagine how happy I was when a waiter approached the table with freshly made guacamole, explained it's made in-house and he wanted to make sure it was to our liking or if changes were needed. Never have I ever been asked that! Last point! My opinion of ambiance isn't chandeliers and pinky out performance, it's employees that look up from their task, see me and connect personally even if it's brief. Someone once remarked to me that "we're human beings, not just human doings". The team at Mucho Gusto seems to get that. They have service you'd expect at a five star restaurant and for that I give the a perfect 10! read more

Mucho Gusto was sorely needed in Kenilworth! I'm so glad to have an excellent Mexican place with good food and drinks. The margaritas are well crafted and have unique flavors like Lychee. The queso and chips are my favorite! I love the decor and the ambiance. The HUGE bar is a perfect place to grab drinks and snacks. The service is quick and kind! read more

Mucho Gusto - Queso fundido margarita - Mexican Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Passion fruit margarita is a must, guac is fresh, tacos are fine -- come for the drinks, stay for the vibes.

I was really excited to try this place because of its great reviews and the always packed parking lot, but after my visit, I'm left disappointed . It's definitely not authentic Mexican food. Most of the items felt like they came straight from a bag or can. I ordered the salsa verde enchiladas, but didnt expect it to be smothered in salsa. The excessive sauce made them soggy and overwhelmed the dish. The Mexican rice was hard, and the peas were dried out. The refried beans started off decent, but then had a weird aftertaste, almost like they came out of a can. The nachos were the highlight of the meal, but overall, I don't think I'd recommend this place. read more

I went during happy hour on a Tuesday and everything was delicious! Service was quick and our waiter checked on us frequently. They have daily happy hour specials and they are a scratch kitchen so all of their sauces and syrups for drinks are made in house. All of the decor and organization of the space was really nice as well. This is a restaurant that I would frequent! read more

Taco Tuesday at Mucho Gusto!! Love!! After seeing MG on Tik Tok, I decided to visit. On Tuesday, they have a Taco Tuesday deal: 2 or 3 tacos & it comes with a margarita! One thing I really enjoyed was the margarita--some places use a lot of syrup and it overpowers the drink, but not here. Everything about the margarita was perfect. The tacos were good too! I tried the Carne Asada tacos, as well as the El Pastor! The service was decent too! Our server was a little forgetful, but it wasn't anything major. Def would come back again! read more

Dined here for my 50th birthday, my best friend and I. We were greeted by a friendly greeter and seated right away. They had a cute little area with props where you could take photos. The waitress assisted us right away. I had a charred pineapple margarita and a peach margarita. The peach was my favorite. I also had nachos, bacon wrapped jalapenos and boom boom shrimp over coleslaw. The portions were very tasty and filling. This place was pretty busy for a Wednesday night but, there were no long waits for anything. They suggested dessert but, we declined because we were already full. This isn't a very large place so plan ahead if you have a large group. Check them out if you're in the area. They won't disappoint. read more

Yummy!!! we started off with the nachos and they were perfect. Tons of toppings and crunchy down to the last bite. For $12 it's a great deal. My boyfriend had the enchiladas and they were delicious. It was a huge serving with tons of multi cheese and very satisfying. A friend of mine had the pork with pineapple tacos and he said they were the bomb. I had the fajitas with chicken and was that ever delicious. The peppers were cooked perfectly not mushy not too tough. The seasoning was great. The service was extraordinary and I like the ambience. I will definitely go back to Mucho gusto soon. You should try it and I forgot one thing it was very reasonable! read more

So apparently this summer, I am OUTSIDE!! I had to try this New Mexican spot out in Towson since apparently I'm eating out every night now. The place was definitely vibey and instagram worthy. Lots of signs and picture opportunities. I was very pleased with the service and the ambiance. The food itself was just ok honestly. We had the nachos which I will give them kudos for at least had homemade chips. That would have been amazing except they were burnt. The chicken had a nice flavor. My mom got the shrimp fajitas. The shrimp were big and super juicy. Food came out pretty quickly and was hot. The boom boom shrimp were pretty delicious with the pickled slaw. I got the birria quesadilla. It was good, but I didn't like how sweet the transmission oil was. Overall it wasn't bad but I probably would not come back. It's a place I recommend trying for yourself and making your own decision. read more

The service was VERY slow, a little weird (a very pointed comment about how quick our food would be coming and then it oddly took forever-like over half an hour). The server never really checked on us and drink refills had to be requested after being long empty. They have a lot of rules, which they put in a printed sign on the door, make sure to let you know that if you don't like something you've ordered to eat or drink, tough luck, final sale (which, obviously, but pretty odd to need to advertise it everywhere and if something truly isn't right or good, they should stand behind it). I can't tell if they've had a bunch of really bad customers/walkouts necessitating this kind of weird behavior or if they're just bad at business. They have a beautiful patio area that I'd love to check out at some point, but I wasn't impressed with my food-the chicken skewers, so would go with something else if I return. read more

This was my first time at this location; BelAir is also very good. Went for Sunday lunch, and found out they serve brunch on the weekends. They make everything from scratch And everything tasted like it. I loved the tortilla chips! Guacamole was made just right as requested mild or they can make it spicier. Had two tacos Al pastor and queso fondido which came with more chips. Drinks were a little expensive. Blueberry Margarita was tasty though. Will definitely come back for happy hour or anytime really. read more

Brand new spot! I came to check this place out with my coworkers about two weeks ago. Very nice decor, great set up, nice employees. We came at a time it wasn't busy and had the nicest server and got our food and drinks very quickly. We ordered margs, which were small but good and probably watered down with too much ice. A little overpriced for what it was but it's the experience! I ordered the birria tacos and they were SO GOOD. So we decided to come back for national marg day the following week. That was a mistake. It was sooo packed but there was one table open for our group which was perfect. They were about to seat us and then said "even thought we don't take reservations, someone knows the owner and they reserved a table." So we waited the 20 minutes we were told we would have to wait while the table sat vacant. When we asked how much longer, they said another 20-30 minutes so we were across the way to the empty Gourmet and were seated and given food and drinks immediately at a lower price. Sadly will not be going back here for drinks but those tacos do slap. read more
