Sooooo good!! Ok, this place may be a hole on the wall, but I tell those are the places that have THE BEST food! Its not much too look at and its nothing fancy but if you want authentic flavors and great taste... this is definitely the spot!

Inside seating is limited, but clean and comfortable.

It looks like a dive from the outside, but the inside is clean and comfortable. Staff is very friendly. One person spoke English and the rest were only Spanish speaking. That is a sign of a good, authentic Mexican restaurant. We stopped in for breakfast burritos and they made everything from scratch while we were there. You do have to wait a little bit as they cut up the vegetables, etc. It was well worth it. They have green sauce and red sauce available by request. Green sauce was not very spicy to my taste from Arizona. The red sauce was more to my liking. Our breakfast was excellent and we were so full that we did not eat again until dinner time.

Came in for lunch with my family on a Sunday. Ordered at the counter and ate at a table. There is table service, I just think we ordered incorrectly. Typical ambiance of a taqueria, small, cozy and colorful. I ordered the 3 taco plates with Pastor, wife ordered the same with shredded chicken and my kids ordered the same with carne asada. Liked mine but after eating them all I wasn't happy with the amount of fat mixed in with the meat, honestly. My wife's chicken tacos were a little better but not great. The carne asada tacos were the winners with this meal. Really tasty. Chips are not complimentary( come on!) but the salsas were outstanding, especially the hot, red one. Beans and rice that came with the plates were tasty. Seemed like a pretty solid take out business going on, so lots of people like this spot. Go try it out!

El Ranchero

Stopped in after a visit to UMBC and wasn't disappointed. I got the El Ranchito meal. Overall I was pretty pleased with it. The beans and rice were tasty. I would have liked the eggs a bit more runny so I could enjoy that yolky goodness. The steak was pretty thin but packed some good flavor. I think the cactus was done very well. It was great to be able to mix in the guac, sour cream and pico to add to the flavor. Also got the passion fruit drink, super refreshing beverage!

Tacos!

YES COME HERE! $1.50 TACOS ON TUESDAY! All the meat options for $1.50: carnitas, barbacoa, al pastor, pollo, and carne enchilada. Yummy tacos that come with some cilantro, onion, lime, radishes, and cooked jalapeño or green onion. Comes with salsa verde on the side. Ate SO many tacos, delicious for the price. Def recommend the Tuesday deal!! We waited for a while but it makes sense for 20 tacos. Decent amount of seating in booths.

Cecina de Res Tacos

ordered from here once before and really loved the food. So when I finally remembered this place I was happy. I ordered around 8:40pm on a Sunday night. I went in to pick up and everyone was nice and polite. I ordered 3 Taco de Carne Asada and 1 Taco de Carnitas. The carnitas was fried nicely and I liked the saltiness of the pork. Very good and not too hard from frying either!! The carne asada was flavorful as well. Nicely seasoned and not tough at all. Very good. I like mine with cheese so I dd get a side of that. It was an okay size container for $3.99 but just go to the store and buy it. Lol!! I'll be ordering from here, TODAY!! Try it out for yourself!!

Camarones al Mojo w extra shrimp

I have not had anything bad yet. The soups, tacos, and chef selections are all delicious. The juices are delicious as well.

The fajitas are sublime! They refry black beans!

Should you swing by this unassuming taqueria? Yes. Actually, hell yes! That's better. The food is mouthwatering and the portions were absolutely tremendous. You're unlikely to find a better bang for your buck. One thing I have to give extra credit for is their use of black beans for refried beans. Why in the world has no one else done this?? Who needs the pinto bean when you have the superior black bean? Absolute genius! I can't wait to go back!

An underrated treasure. I was originally skeptical about this place considering I've had very authentic tacos in California and other places- but, Taquería El Cabrito did not disappoint. They took their time making the food, I didn't mind since I rather know it's freshly made. I ordered the Al Pastor and Chorizo taco. They both were delicious and their salsa verde was actually spicy with a great kick! I wish their Al Pastor had pineapple chunks, but it tasted like Al Pastor nonetheless. Well seasoned and I liked how they gave roasted onion and serrano! Different than most taquerias and I enjoyed it. Definitely give this place a shot. I will definitely come back again.

Hay Oaxaca with Al Pastor. Top to bottom: huaracha, sope, taco
Willy L.

When I'm craving Mexican food, I don't usually venture too far from my favorite local joint Taqueria Los Primos because most other places I've tried have been a disappointment in comparison. But, I was running errands in the Arbutus area and decided to give Taqueria El Cabrito a shot and man did my life change for the better. Food - 5/5 I ordered the Hay Oaxaca, which comes with your choice of meat on three different vessels: huarache, sope, and taco. I got it with al pastor, a savory and tender marinated pork that's paired with small chunks of sweet pineapple. The corn tortillas for the taco were toasted to perfection and provided a nice crispy texture. Their green tomatillo salsa also added some bright acidity to cut through the fat and salt, culminating in a well-balanced bite. Sope is a thicker fried corn tortilla, topped with refried beans, mayo, meat, lettuce, and cheese. This tortilla had a much crunchier exterior, fluffy interior, and a flavor reminiscent of the fried wonton strips served with hot and sour soup. The refried beans were unbelievably creamy with a smokey undertone that added to the depth of flavor. The cheese on top wasn't overly salty. As a whole, the sope was wonderfully rich and satisfying, though the flavors of the meat became somewhat lost amidst the medley of toppings. Much of the same can be said about the huarache, which has all the same toppings but on a fried thin corn tortilla instead. If you're a purist and prefer to have the flavor of the meat shine, go with the taco. If you want a flat bread with a nice texture contrast, go with the sope. If you want something akin to tidier nachos, go with the huarache. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the three. Why not just get them all! Value - 5/5 For context, I'm a 6 ft (ok, fine, 5'11") 160 lb male. This $15 entree easily provided enough food to feed me comfortably for two meals if I wasn't such a fata** and overate. Each tortilla was piled high with meat and toppings that spilled with every bite. At a time when some Mexican restaurants are charging $5-9 PER TACO (looking at you Tacombi), this place is an absolute steal, not to mention their $1.50 tacos on Tuesday! Service - 3/5 The lady at the counter was nice. She quickly took my order and called out when it was ready. That was the extent of my interactions with the employees, absolutely nothing wrong about that. You don't come here for the service, you come here for the food. Trust me, you'll be too busy stuffing your face to care. tl;dr Having never been to Mexico or Oaxaca, I can't speak to the authenticity of their food. But everything sure was damn delicious. Come here if you're looking to try something different from the usual, uninspired Tex-Mex fare. Come here if you enjoy generous portion sizes and great value. I will for sure be back to sample their other meats and Mexican specialty dishes!

Mojarra Frita
Malida J.

I came to this restaurant through a Yelp review. I love fish therefore I decided to get the Mojarra Frita accommodated with the rice, black beans and salad. I've had this dish many times before in other Mexican Restaurants. Through my foodie experiences I've come to understand the secret to preparing mojarra frita is to marinade the fish with a number of seasonings. Unfortunately this is where they missed the mark, their seasonings were a bit bland. Not to mention, the fish was a tad bit overcooked causing it to be dry and a little chewy. I also felt this way about the rice and black beans, they just didn't sing "Yo amo cocinar" aka I love to cook. On a lighter note, the service and portion sizes were great. The customer service was pleasant, even though the staff member I engaged with spoke very little English. All in all, I'm not sure if I'll come back, but they seem to be good people.

Stopped by after running errands on a wednesday afternoon. There were 2 people outside eating and no one inside. I parked on the side street next to the building. I got the carne asada. It was just okay. I was able to sit in side and wait for my order which took maybe 10 minutes after ordering. Size was plentiful.

Aly W.

Great, clean, delicious! The food was authentic and I am honestly craving it right now. I'm looking forward to quarantine being over so I can head back here and indulge in some tacos!

Taco de Pollo, Taco de Barbacoa and Taco al Pasto. These were all amazing.

No-frills location in Catonsville for great happy hour specials until 6pm and a menu for…read morevegetarians and meat eaters alike. Parking lot has ample space. The exterior looks worn down and unassuming. The interior is small but was able to accommodate our party. The service was good, with both bartenders taking turns serving our table. I ordered happy hour chips and queso, and the queso felt very unfresh and can-like. They only offer one basket of chips & salsa complimentary per the menu but we were a party of 5 and received two. My happy hour app was rung up as regular price. The hard shell bean tacos I ordered had very little beans in them and only beans, no other toppings. There was lettuce, tomato, and cheese on the plate on the side, so I had to dress my own tacos. They tasted okay, not great, not bad. The $6 Monday margaritas are for the 12 oz and are made strong. It's a $1 more for a flavor and $1 more for a larger size (16 oz). The men's bathroom is small and had two urinals that are right next to the bathroom door. I will probably stick with my usual spot in Laurel, called Chido's.

The salsa you could tell was made fresh and had just enough kick, the chips were delicious!

My friend ordered the California burrito with El Pastor and it was stuffed full and also very delicious! We didn't have room for dessert but the churro cheesecake sounded amazing! This place felt very authentic and was the perfect balance of noise and being able to talk! Service, ambience + food all get a thumbs up from me!

I don't know who wrote the glowing reviews for the chorizo breakfast burrito at Los Callejero's in…read moreElkridge, but we clearly did not eat the same food. I ordered this burrito fully expecting bold, savory chorizo, fluffy eggs, maybe some spice, maybe some life. What I got instead was a tortilla filled with what can only be described as warm bean water. Not beans. Not chorizo. Not eggs. Just... essence of bean. It was astonishingly bland. Like the seasoning simply clocked out and went home. At first bite, I genuinely thought something was wrong with the jalapeños -- there was this odd earthy flavor that made me wonder if they hadn't been washed. But no. It was just that same thin, watery bean taste soaking into everything and erasing any hope of flavor. And the salsa? Somehow even more disappointing. It tasted old and just as bland, which felt almost impressive. We ordered on a Sunday morning -- prime breakfast time -- so there's absolutely no reason this should have tasted tired and neglected. If you are craving a real breakfast burrito with actual flavor, save yourself the heartbreak. This was not it. Not even close.

They have the best tacos in the DMV by far. The meat is savory the tortillas are nice en crunchy…read morewhich I love about them. The owner and the staff are very nice.
