Birthday Tres Leches

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)!

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.

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.

Taco bowl

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.

Tacos with grilled meat, microgreens, and pickled vegetables are served with lime and a dipping sauce. Two cocktails with salted rims and lime slices are also on the table.
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.

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.

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.

Nisha S.

Where this place is located is in a real shady place downtown, I told myself that this food better be good if I'm traveling through here. The space is really small, you really notice this until many people are crowding your table. I got 2 birria tacos and a carne asada taco... the birrias weren't worth the travel but I'd definitely come back just for the carne asada time and time again.

See all

Maximón - Quesadilla with steak

Maximón

What an amazing way to bring in the new year! Great ambience and service (though my husband and I…read morewere not fans of our initial seating arrangement (by the kitchen entrance). Our server was attentive and professional. Had the spicy margarita (even one was on the house after I told them I was a teacher). Appetizers were the crab fritters and quesadilla with steak. Delicious. Entrees were the roasted chicken and Wagy steak. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had dinner at Maximón a few nights ago. I'd wanted to check it out for a while,…read morebut I'm almost never in Harbor East. Maximón is the Atlas Group's Mexican/South American restaurant in the Four Seasons Building (between Azumi and Loch Bar), and it's as beautiful as you'd expect of an Atlas restaurant: high ceilings, leafy plants, pottery, gorgeous bar, great light... With Latin music playing, it fault like a beautiful and relaxing space for a Mexican meal. (They consider themselves a Mexican and South American restaurant. Other than a couple of dishes, like a more Peruvian take on a ceviche, the menu and decor read almost entirely Mexican-inspired to me). We started with a few drinks. A spicy mezcalita for him; a fruity, smoky Sotol-based cocktail for me. It's rare that we stick with a drink if ordering a second round. I almost always want to try something else or switch to wine with the meal. But both of us ordered the same for our second round - the drinks were good. Our food was less successful overall. We started with their yellowtail ceviche (with sweet potato, corn, cilantro, red onion, radish, fresno chile, and leche de tigre - the ceviche that leaved very Peruvian), which was good, but the fish was surprisingly fishy (it might have improved the dish to marinate the fish - it was more like a crudo than a ceviche as it was served, since the fish just sat on top of the leche de tigre). But it was a pretty good dish. Next up was their chile relleno appetizer (roasted poblano pepper, fresh pomegranate seeds, mozzarella, queso chihuahua, and avocado puree). This dish was pretty good (although - am I crazy or did they use a wonton wrapper rather than a flour dredge for the fried relleno?!). The relleno was simple and the cheese had a great cheese pull. The avocado puree was acidic enough to be a good accompaniment to the fried component of the dish. Next, we had two tacos. (FYI their tacos are one per order and pretty wildly expensive. The cheapest is their al pastor at $10/taco, and the most expensive is their Angus ribeye for $22/taco). We ordered one al pastor (duroc pork, pineapple, avocado salsa cruda), and one pulpo zarandeado (chile-spiced octopus, cabbage al escabeche, and salsa borracha). The filling of both tacos was pretty good, but - and this has never happened to me before - one tortilla didn't even make it one minute at our table. I picked the taco up and the tortilla just gave out - it was soggy and fell apart. I've never seen this happen with tortillas made in house and fresh. I suspect that the filling sat on the tortilla for a while before they served it (which is weird, because the food came very fast and all at once). We showed our waiter, who immediately brought us two additional tortillas so we could transfer the filling. These tortillas - when fresh and not having sat out with filling on them - were excellent. (Their menu says they source their heirloom corn for their tortillas from Oaxaca, and the flavor and texture of these replacement tacos were great.) We also ordered a side of black bean risotto (with caramelized manchego cheese), which had great flavor but very overcooked rice. Then, we shared a dessert, too - their pastel de chocolate (which they now serve with fruit to break up the rich chocolate). The dessert was okay - I wish it had much more of the guava puree, because that was so bright and delicious, but you couldn't taste it against the strong, rich flavor of the chocolate. (I also had a shot of great tequila with the dessert - their bar program really wowed me.) I absolutely have to give a shoutout to our waiter David. He was great. I started this review at three stars - the food was just inconsistent and didn't wow me - but as I was writing this paragraph on service, I knew I had to raise it to four stars. On the food alone, I might have given Maximón three stars, but at the same meal, we experienced five star service. David was friendly and helpful and was hands out the best part of our experience at Maximón. Ultimately, the food was a little underwhelming to me, but I would absolutely return to Maximón based on the quality of the drinks and that great service. Maximón has a Harbor-facing patio, which in warmer months, looks like a dream. I'd absolutely come back, request David as our waiter, and drink cocktails on the patio all evening!

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.

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.

Customer service has been consistently great on every visit, which really adds to the neighborhood feel. My only downside is the salsas. They are a bit watery and not really my thing. Still, between the solid tacos, quick prep, and friendly service, this place is definitely worth checking out if you're nearby.

Their brunch is great, their tacos are yummy and they have so much variety in terms of meat/veg and flavor profile.

I also love steak taco, and at one point there was a taco take had Korean inspired flavors that was super yummy but it's no longer on the menu. For drinks I love the Julio smash and the red sangria. I also love that they always have bottomless mimosas. There's always ample seating inside and outside. However, if you're sitting on the outside that's closest to the harbor, you're kind of in the outskirts and I'm not gonna lie the two times I've sat on that far side it almost felt like our server completely forgot about us but you're by the water, it's nice and sunny, there's a nice breeze. It's also great for people watching or if you just want a little bit more privacy. The service is usually great, they are frequently training staff tho. I'm not sure if it's just a summer thing and maybe they have younger college aged adults who just need a summer gig, but once the weather gets nice there's a higher chance of you getting a server whose simultaneously training someone or you have a trainee as your waiter and then someone comes every so often asking how they're doing. Not a big deal but it can get a little annoying. Either way the food is great, the drinks are great, the location is perfect for the summer time and they have friendly staff. I will always be a regular there.
