The tacos were fresh ingredients and authentic taste. From the rating the restaurant holds, my expectations were pretty high so I probably did it to myself. But it was a long wait. Plenty of seating with big windows for people watching. I recommend this restaurant you may love it like plenty of others. read more

Came here for lunch and it was so good! The owner is very personable with all of his customers and the food is very authentic. The prices are very reasonable and I genuinely enjoyed the el pastor tacos a lot! The location is a little inconvenient but the ambiance is chill with a few tables and chairs if you'd like to dine. I'd highly recommend this amazing restaurant. read more

This place was soooo good! Their homemade tortillas were delicious and they gave really large portions. We will definitely visit this place before our trip is over read more

Food: Generous portions, very reasonably priced. Tried 3 tacos - chorizo, carnitas, birria, all delicious. Chicken burrito was least exciting. 3 house sauce options - wish there were a spicier option. Service: A bit of a wait but everything came out fresh so totally worth it. Ambiance: Bumping music, it was a vibe. read more

Was introduced to this spot by a friend. He loves coming here for tacos. This is a cute family spot and great for groups. Service is quick and the food is flavorful. I was able to try a new dish with a side of old familiar items. The Pupusa y queso was delicious. You have to eat it quick because once the cheese gets cold it looses all pizzazz. But luckily I had some pillowy soft rice and sweet plantains to add to the mix. Portions were perfect. Would definitely return but I do need a vegan option on the tacos. read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food - baliadas, tacos, pupusas... everything we've had is delicious. The restaurant itself is pretty no frills, but the service is great. Definitely worth checking out for lunch or dinner! read more

Ordered the Pozole, which I've been looking for, for so long. It was perfect. Big chunks of pork, filled with hominy and meat. So good. 10/10. Ordered online too, which isn't always the same, but they were so good. read more

I absolutely love this place! I'm here probably at least once a week. The birria tacos are where it's at. Amazing flavor and cheaper than other places. I have also had their chilaquiles and chicken soup, also extremely flavorful. You can tell their food is made with love. read more

Tacos are good but has now become overpriced. $5 a taco?! That's outrageous. Also what used to be the price for a large drink is now the price of the medium. Prices have gone up way too much all in one year. Used to be affordable, but no longer. read more

This was my first time trying this place at the recommendation of a friend. I ordered 2 Birria Tacos 1 Chicken. I ordered online and paid extra for cheese & sour cream on the side. My order was wrong. The guy tried to charge me extra for cheese & sour cream that I already paid for. Had to show him in the app. The Birria was a dried mince meat. I've never had dry Birria mush from a restaurant that claims to be "authentic". When he realized my order was wrong he just stood there like a dear in headlights not offering to accommodate or fix it. I had an appointment to get to so I just took the order & left. Definitely a NO for this place! Very disappointed! read more

This place has great tacos. Since traveling to Texas three times last year my standards for good tacos has significantly increased but Ponchos taco let me satiated. The staff were polite and helpful. There are a few small tables to dine in which I opted for. I tried three tacos (beef birria, steak, and carnitas) and chips and guac. My favorite by far was the birria followed by the carnitas. The house made sauces paired wonderfully with the chips and tacos. This is my new go to place for tacos. read more

Food is actually decent even though you wait almost a hour for just 3 tacos and where the cashier doesnt offer silverware or any sauces to put on the tacos. Not even sour cream!!!It's also freezing inside and for some reason they allow so many teenagers in that literally paying patrons have to stand. What makes it even sadder is the fact that the establishment does nothing to make the paying customer feel welcome. I watched a group of male teenagers between 14-17 yrs of age come in while a paying patron was sitting and eating. The teenagers literally sat down at the man's table cursing and just being disrespectful and again establishment did nada. Final straw was watching a blunt of weed bein rolled in the table and again the establishment did NADA. Couldn't refer anyone here because the customers suffer while teenagers take over. read more

Ponchos Tacos - birria tacos, fresh chips and salsa with a Chicharron - Pupusa, Str8 every time. - Mexican Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Craving some tacos mid day on October 2, 2025 while exploring the Baltimore waterfront. It was hot. Poncho's Tacos was nearby so stepped in on a whim. Delicious foods and beverages. Everything fresh and freshly made - chips, guacamole, tacos, tostadas. Fresh melon juice (yum) and horchata. We were the only patrons when we sat down, after ordering the place filled up with obvious regulars. Everyone behind the counter and in the kitchen was welcoming, friendly. All patrons were sitting or picking up phoned orders. It was buzzing inside. Bathroom was clean, well lit. Same for the tables and floors. This family pays attention to all of the details and its patrons notice. Highly recommend Poncho's. read more

I came across this place while studying at cross street market right across the street, and I am SO glad I did! The restaurant itself is small but nicely decorated. They have a wide selection of traditional Mexican dishes. We ordered the tacos-- Al pastor, carnitas, and birria. They are a bit pricey at $4.25-5 per taco, but SO worth it! The Al pastor was my favorite, it was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the pineapple really rounded it out perfectly. The carnitas was also so tender and delicious, and so was the birria, which was paired with a flavor-filled consomé. The workers were also friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back here to try out some of the other dishes on their menu!!! read more

Fresh and delicious. Yes, if you walk in and order it will take a few minutes to get your food, not because it's slow, but because they literally cook it fresh. I had the steak tacos and it's so full of meaty goodness i got so full, but I had to eat my warm tortilla chips and guacamole! Some good food if I do say so myself read more

Fantastic authentic Mexican food. It was honestly one of the best meals I had during my weekend memorial day trip. I had Sopa de Rez, which was a beef soup, and it was a HUGE portion served with fresh jalapeños, chives and lime. The taste was absolutely outstanding, and I now find myself craving it back in Ohio. I also had a few bites of a Birria taco, as well as their homemade fresh chips and salsa. I'll be back to Baltimore for Browns Ravens game in November and I am absolutely going back to Ponchos tacos. Thank you again for the great service and really great lunch read more

Amazing tacos, every single thing we tried was solid. The standout was the tinga but also props to them for doing both chicken and beef birria. The res, pollo, lengua, and tripa were all also well seasoned and cooked. They give you a salsa rojo, salsa verde, and a pico de gallo style salsa and everything works well with the tacos. Our bill was $40 with tip and we got 6 tacos and a large horchata. read more

Delicious food, generous proportions and, most importantly, followed special instructions ("please put toppings on side") and delivery instructions ("please call xxx-xxx-xxxx when downstairs"). Will be my go to as I'm ordering from DC for cousins at John Hopkins in Baltimore. read more

Ponchos Tacos - Love - Mexican Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Small and authentic Mexican food--we had the shrimp and the fish tacos, as well as the flower and the jalapeño pupusa. It was a bit of a wait because everything was cooked to order, rather than made and kept warm. The food was delicious, and came with four salsa varieties. I'd particularly recommend the pupusas, which were excellent! read more

The Birria tacos were pretty good. The Suadero Taco was good a little salty for me, but I dipped it in the broth. read more

I pass this place often and had been wanting to try it for a while. It is very unassuming on the outside, but the food is delicious. We ordered for take-out and it was ready when we arrived. I had the beef birria tacos, which came with a consomme sauce, and they were delicious. My partner got the chicken plate which she enjoyed as well. We also shared the chips and guac ~ the chips were addicting, and I couldn't stop eating them. We will definitely be back! read more
