DGD treated me to a birthday lunch here and wow, was it great! We requested to sit on the patio and were seated immediately. Chips and salsa came right away and it was hard not to eat too much, it was so tasty! The chips were fresh and hot with the perfect amount of salt; salsa was medium hot, just right for my spicy preference. After a very short wait - maybe 5 minutes, tops - our server came to take our order. The food arrived within 10 minutes. We shared nachos supreme with beef (ground beef) and four street tacos with carnitas. I can't begin to tell you how hard it was not to gobble down every bit. The carnitas were spiced perfectly and were moist and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The ground beef was, as well. The vegetables in both dishes - lettuce, onion, tomato, jalapeño - were fresh as can be. DGD enjoyed a strawberry Jarisco, while I stuck with water. The reason we held back from gorging on this feast was a planned stop at Coldstone after ;) Service was excellent, food was delicious. Parking is mildly annoying but that's just me. It's in a large shopping center and there's never any parking right in front of the businesses on the main entrance street. But we didn't have to walk far, just across an interior street from the parking shared with a theater. It's free, so a little walk is OK. With tip it was around $50 I think, but as DGD treated me, I wasn't involved in paying. Worth another visit, regardless. read more

Querétaro - Mexican Near Me - Gambrills, Maryland

Honestly, save your money and just go for drinks and appetizers. The margaritas, cheese dip, and pozole were great, but everything else was a mess. My red snapper was basically rubber it was cooked so hard that I was literally shaking the table just trying to cut a piece off. My waitress was in shock. The carne asada was cold and tough you got tired of chewing it. Super disappointing for an "authentic Mexican" restaurant. Pozole 8/10 Margarita 10/10 Cheese with chorizo 7/10 (wasn't hot enough) Red snapper 0/10 Carne asada 3/10 read more

Margarita is made with fresh ingredients and well balanced. The street tacos were great. They were well seasoned and packed with meat and toppings. The tortillas held together nicely and had the right amount of chew to them. Service is not slow or feel rushed, just right. read more

I cannot rave enough about Querétaro Restaurant. The inside is super cute, clean and welcoming. This restaurant is family owned, and feels like home. The food is authentic and made fresh daily. The owners are very personable and friendly. The margaritas are not from a bottle. Freshly made daily with fresh fruits. My favorite go to meal is the street tacos, but the empanadas, red snapper, carne asada, the rice are all absolutely delicious. Macro friendly, willing to adjust any meal. I absolutely love this place so much we host our Q4 client appreciation event here annually. read more

We came in for lunch and were greeted and seated right away. They were donating 20% of proceeds to Win Win Gymnastics, which was awesome to see. I had the burrito al pastor, my wife had the combo with an enchilada, taco, and quesadilla, and we shared the choriqueso appetizer. The kids stuck with a burger and chicken nuggets (of course ). Everything was delicious. Great service, great prices, and great food for our family of five. We'll definitely be back. read more

Good and satisfying meal with great service!! I dined-in for lunch one random weekday. So it was probably 3 other parties there and a few people at the bar. The chips and salsa were delicious. I really enjoyed the ground beef tacos, chicken enchilada, rice, and refried beans. I thought everything was full of flavor. I recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and interested in trying some great tasting Mexican food. read more

We found this spot while in the Gambrills area running some errands. It is around what looked like the town center with so many other food options and a theater, but this spot stood out as we were seated a few minutes upon arrival on a Friday evening. But as the night went on it got a little busier. I had the horchata to drink, which was amazing. Then I ordered the carné asada dinner special which was a huge portion of rice, beans, amazing steak, tomatoes with a side of tortillas to make your own tacos. The food was so tasty and not spicy hot but well seasoned. I had a good amount but also had some leftovers for lunch the next day. The service was great, our waiter stopped by a couple of times to make sure we were satisfied and offered recommendations even we requested. Definitely stop by if you're in the area and craving some Mexican food. read more

Brought a few family members here after an event. We have been on the hunt for good Mexican restaurants since moving from California so we decided to try this spot out. They have a nice seating area outside which we took advantage of. They brought complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were house made and really nice and crispy. I had a Carnitas Burrito, my daughter had a Bean and Cheese Burrito, My wife's father (a vegetarian) had the Spinach Enchiladas, and my sister had the Pollo Arriero. Everyone loved their food. The only downside was that the service was a little slow. There were not a lot of customers and I was a little surprised that the food came out as slow as it did. Also when I wanted to close out the bill I had to search for the waiter (who was on his phone). Overall the experience was good and now I have one more go-to spot for Mexican food. read more

Food was good. Service was good. Margaritas were weak could be stronger, but I will definitely be going back.

So disappointing, on multiple levels. Sunday was gorgeous! Sunny and 80 degrees, finally, the icy snowy winter seemed far behind. We wanted someplace where we could have a light dinner outside. On sight this looked perfect, nice crowd, and we hadn't been there before. We went inside, it was dark, sparse, no patrons really. It took a moment to be greeted although several workers were milling around. We asked for a table outside on the patio. Interestingly he tried to steer us to a table inside. Saying it was so sunny out, no shade. Took a second for that to click. I said we want outside. I had to become stern before it became clear to him that I meant patio seating. No, there wasn't a language barrier. Was this guy trying to save the prime seating for others and seat us in a corner booth in the dark? Unbelievable! And the food and drinks were an epic fail too!! Next time It will be Thai nextdoor. There may be hope though, my 16 yo grand daughter didn't catch that we had been racially profiled. Hope that means that others her age will see the world differently also. But for now... ICU... read more

The tortillas that my shrimp enchiladas were wrapped in were so doughy that I couldn't cut it with a knife and couldn't chew it. I had to send the dish back because it was inedible. They graciously took it back & gave me something else. The other dish was mediocre. read more

Stopped here for national margarita day on my way to aparty.. My watermelon jalapeño margarita was amazing. The atmosphere at the bar was lit. We had a ball. however, the Bartender and the service sucked. It took way too long to get one appetizer and twice as long to get my second drink. Definitely wanna come back and try more of the food, but hopefully get better service next time. read more

came here because it was a beautiful day and they had outside seating. The original waiter I came into contact with was warm and inviting. Jonathan was our waiter and he was extremely stoic and seemed put off by us front the start. The classic margarita is the only drink on the HH menu. I had a frozen strawberry mango margarita it was decent. My friend had a strawberry margarita that she sent back because it tasted like syrup on ice. They have queso blanco but it was cold after sending it back it was still cold and they still put it on the bill. I ordered the carne asada it was decent but the small cup of guac started to brown. read more

There are a lot of really good Mexican restaurants in the area so when we are craving it, we go for the specials. LUNCH: They have daily specials and combos to pick from--all under $12.00. TACO TUESDAY: All day special includes 3 Street Tacos for $8.99, 1 Street Taco for $2.99, 3 regular shredded chicken or ground beef taco for $8.99, and 1 regular taco for $2.99. MARIACHI THURSDAY: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. It gets loud. You have been warned. HAPPY HOUR: Monday through Thursday from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM with specials on drinks and appetizers. It is one of the earliest Happy Hours in the area, it is also one of the best for drinks! Must be seated at the bar area though which is HARD because it is small. read more

My third time being at this restaurant, the third time the drinks (and of course, the food too) did not disappoint. I've brought a total of three friends here for different reasons and every time they were impressed. Smaller than expected with minimal guidance while entering, it is full of great service. Very impressive for something you can walk past if you're walking too fast. **I say it's small but viewers need to also know there is outside and inside dining available, assuming the weather is nice.** Attentive servers, quick AUTHENTIC food, stiff drinks (1 cup shop)- what more can your really ask for? read more

Now, this was such a low-key belly satisfying surprise! Who knew that yummy Mexican food could be found in Crofton/Gambrills? Well, my date did and I couldn't have been happier on Indigenous People's day to enjoy a good margarita, some good food and good company. For starters, the warm chips and fresh salsa was addictively yummy! I think we went through 2 baskets while sipping on mango (me) and jalapeño (him) margaritas!! Then came the fresh guacamole, which was flavorful and also addictive! We both ordered fajitas that were out of this world, flavorful and just delicious. Let's not forget how awesome our service was too! The server was very attentive and got us our delicious food and drinks quickly! I'm so glad to have been introduced to this spot!

My girlfriend have visited this restaurant for the past two Cinco De Mayos and have had a great time. There is always a wait which is to be expected on Cinco De Mayo. However, in general the food taste like fresh authentic Mexican cuisine. They give you a lot of food for the price you pay and everything is great. Drinks are strong and they allow you to do single margaritas or jumbo margaritas. Overall I give them 4 stars they can be slow at times, you will get your food and then they tend to forget about you. However, the food is great and the prices are $$ read more

This place is top tier! Their Taco Tuesday special is a phenomenal deal and the tacos are tasty and filling! They have great margaritas, as well! Chips and salsa is free. Our group always orders queso and guacamole. The staff here are the best. They are the friendliest, nicest people and they deserve your business. We never have to wait long for a table and we usually prefer to sit outside. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating area. The outdoor seating is not fully covered, but each table has its own umbrella that provides a lot of shade from the sun or weather. Free parking is readily available on the street or surrounding lots. We love this place and come whenever we get the craving. read more

This place is okay, my fiancée wanted to try something new so we gave this place a chance. The inside is quite nice, lots of beautiful art and lighting but I think the food and customer service is lacking. The food is definitely based on personal preference but I wasn't fond of the chips or cheese and we weren't greeted when we entered or when we left. Our server could've been more attentive but overall for the price it wasn't terrible. My fiancée ordered tacos and fajitas and thought it was worth the buck. Probably wouldn't go here again though If you are in the area I'd say to give it a shot! read more

I've been here twice and both times were excellent. Service was great, food was excellent, and prices are very reasonable. Its located in Waugh Chapel so there is plenty of parking available. There are two entrances, so it convenient because if you have to park in the back, you don't have to walk around to the front but just come through the back door. Both times we've been, there were not a lot of people so food came out at reasonable times. There are so many options on the menu that it is impossible not to find something that you like. I will admit that as a keto dieter, it was hard to find something low carb but the taco salad is my go-to. It comes in a tortilla bowl but I don't eat the bowl. Pretty sure you could probably order it on a plate instead but I like at least tasting a bit of the bowl. It's so good! I really enjoy coming to this place. I highly recommend it for its great service, delicious authentic food, and great ambience. read more

Went here today for the first time. Food was overpriced and lacking flavor. My partner and I got food poisoning or at the least, really upset stomachs immediately after eating it (this was the only thing we ate today so far), where we had to speed home to catch the bathroom in time. While I imagine the lease/rent costs of this place in Wahls Chapel is not cheap, $25.00 for 3 tacos, with very minimal flavor, that causes an upset stomach is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place. read more

Initially, I was drawn to the cute decor, but the food is quite terrible. It is anything but authentic. The enchilada sauce wasn't good at all. Tasted like jarred pasta sauce with no flavor whatsoever. The guacamole also left a lot to be desired as it was plain, smashed avocado. Where are the onions? cilantro? lime? Unlike its counterparts the horchata was a 10/10. Service was ok. read more
