    Grilled Steak Taco
    Gloria M.

    Delicious carne asada tacos, the beef was well seasoned, good sized portions for the price and plenty of seating. The staff was friendly and order ready within minutes.

    Nachos
    Joanna M.

    The menu is HUGE. Tons to choose from It's like a Chipotle if it was a legit Mexican place. I had the nachos al pastor and the spicy sauce and cleared the plate. Despite only having two ladies working, my food was quickly made and rung out. Very cool little place. Don't let the "hole in the wall" vibe outside scare you off.

    This place has a salsa and toppings bar with about a dozen items to choose from. It was amazing. The barbacoa and al pastor were excellent, and the steak was good, but in a beef jerky kind of way. We also got an amazing frozen mango drink with a tamarind straw. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood for a show or a baseball game.

    Birria ramen
    Amy P.

    I haven't been to this place in a while but when a coworker told me they had birria ramen on their menu, I had to go try it. The staff were friendly and the food came out at a reasonable time. They used one of those instant noodle cups for the ramen. Honestly, I was not impressed. The flavor was good but I'm really picky with how my noodles are cooked and it was too overcooked for me. Since it's just my preference that was the issue I'm only taking away 1 star.

    Ended up here during a dance comp this weekend. Due to time constraints and unavailability at nearby restaurants, we stumbled upon this hole in the wall gem. We walked in 10 minutes before closing, so were grateful that they serviced us. Husband and I both ordered three street tacos (mahi mahi/steak and al pastor), with the condiments. I know we were hungry but all our tacos were really delicious. They were also nice enough to prepare an order of the Birria tacos (three to the order), which were taken to go and delicious too! The girl at the counter was super nice. I don't typically tip if I'm getting my own food but they really deserved a good tip, which they received, for feeding us great food, even as they were closing. Oh and the prices were reasonable! I would definitely eat here again if in the area.

    Called a head to verify it's they accommodate 10 people, with they could. The food was good and set up chipotle style. The service was great and they celebrated our birthday (4 of us)!

    Taco bowl
    Jacintha T.

    Taco Bowl Fried crispy tortilla taco bowl shell was, homemade which is awesome! Chorizo is cooked to order, making this the better protein option to choose from. Lots of sauce topping options, I wish the meat had more spice to it; was a bit bland. Taco shell was the star of the meal. Definitely is cheap eats, which in this economy is a bonus and much appreciated! Decent food, when in a pinch, check'em out.

    Taco Town is based out of Baltimore, and their menu offers antojitos, breakfast items, salads, tacos, burritos, bowls, and various platters. Meat options include carne asada, pollo, carne molida, barbacoa, al pastor, chorizo, pescado, and camaron. You can also request your items to be vegan, vegetarian, or GF. We tried their Birria Tacos, which was a corn tortilla filled to the max with melted cheese, barbacoa beef, and onions; this was served with sliced radishes and cucumbers with salsas and consommé on the side. This order came with 3, and it was so generously filled; the shredded beef was super juicy, albeit slightly underseasoned. The consommé had a subtle cinnamon taste to it, and was a good complement to the birria tacos. Better than it being too salty! Staff were very friendly and kind! I'd love to try their regular tacos next time. +generously-filled birria tacos +friendly service

    - Food: the food was decent. i got the taco bowl. you get to customize all your food which is nice. I found the bowl to be filling. The tacos were about $5 each! They were pretty good. - atmosphere: this place was cozy for the size. the bathroom was clean as well. they have intriguing wall paintings! - parking: expect typical baltimore street parking. nothing special.

    I love authentic Mexican food and this is where you find it. I ordered a generous portion of lunch tacos that I just could not finish. It was delicious! I highly recommend for a quick lunch. It may be busy.

    Birria
    Sabrina P.

    Taco town has indoor seating but also Cary-out. I did the Cary out. The birria tacos were seasoned well & had a lot of flavor. I am not sure if it's be a use if did Cary out reheated the tacos but the tortillas did fall apart a bit. This wasn't a deal breaker but a bit inconvenient.

    Nowak S.

    These tacos were delicious and full of authentic flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the combination of textures was just right. The tortilla had a nice char, adding extra depth to the taste. Service was friendly, and the whole meal felt satisfying.

    Chicken tortilla soup
    Jennifer M.

    We tried this place for an early dinner yesterday. The chirra tacos awesome! Flavorful and lots of meat. We also tried the chicken tortilla soup, which was their "special of the day". It was also very good but not a lot of chicken, so probably wouldn't order that again. The two ladies behind to counter were very friendly and the order was prepared quickly.

Parking is difficult as it is only street parking with no parking lot and limited street parking as it is. We were there early and even then it was hard to get a table at 5:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday. We got a table in one of the rooms off to the side and though it was loud you could hear yourself talk with the people in your party. Since it was during happy hour we were able to get drinks at a slightly reduced price and I had the cilantro honey Margarita which was outstanding. Our friend got a Paloma and another friend had just a regular margarita. They were different in color and taste but were really good. We started out with guacamole and chips and the guac was delicious. We were charged for chips and addition and I would have thought that if we were ordering guacamole that the chips would have come with it but it did not, it was an extra charge. For our main entrees, I ordered a ceviche with shrimp, octopus, and sea bass and it didn't come as I'm used to as there was a container of white sauce in the middle which was good I just didn't pour it all over the ceviche and dipped in instead. The ceviche was really good and very filling and meal in itself. The others in the party got tacos and a burrito and both looked amazing. I was still hungry enough to have dessert and I had a Choco Taco which was good though on the small side and it looked like it just came out of the freezer and didn't have to be made. My friend ordered the flan and she's gluten free and it looked delicious and tasted delicious but it took a while to prepare. Just so you are aware, they add 20% on to your check regardless of the party size. That's fine as that's what I would have given anyway. All in all for the food that we had it was reasonably priced. I didn't see anything outrageously priced in their menu and I highly recommend Clavel and I will be back in the future.

Their salsa is warm (temperature, not spice) because of the way it is prepared. We've had the fundito before but I prefer not to get that because it is too filling!

We went for HH to get their delicious margaritas on discount. The service is always great, bartenders are super nice. The bar area is not huge so get there early for a spot.

Each taco is extremely fresh and I can tell that it was crafted meticulously in the kitchen. Be mindful that each taco is priced separately and you get a single taco ranging from $10.00 - 15.00. The guacamole is fresh and garnished with strawberries. Personally, I typically go for a spicier and more flavorful guac, but if you opt for a fresh and simple dish, then it certainly checks the box. The queso is thick, cheesy, and topped with peppers. I personally could appreciate a creamier queso, but I will say the dish looks and smells amazing. The oysters are rather small in size but they're extremely fresh and come topped with a jalapeño. My expectations for the drinks were a bit higher than what they delivered. Drinks tasted a bit watery and the flavor wasn't as potent (this says a lot for someone like myself who is pretty light weight). Service was fairly accommodating, however, keep in mind that they enforce a rule of having half of your party there prior to seating you. Also be mindful that their menu changes to dinner at 5:00PM, and seating at the outside bar may be closed depending on when you arrive. My favorite of all the dishes was the was the Al Pastor taco! I'd like to give this place another try because just based off of the aesthetic alone it has sooo much potential to be absolutely amazing!
