    Carne Asada Taco Trio    Carne Asada Taco  Order of Three Tacos

    Great service, and amazing food! Food Made quickly and right behind the counter so you can see it being freshly made.

    Quesadilla
    Zenia B.

    I really wanted to LOVE this food because of the reviews, but I was sadly mistaken. The server/cook was very pleasant. Took my order and kindly asked for 10 minutes. I wanted onions and peppers on my quesadilla, but it doesn't come with it. I then asked the young lady what does the fajita and tacos come with, and she explained. After listening to the ingredients, I asked if I could pay extra for the onions and peppers to be added to my quesadilla. The young lady agreed. I left and came back 10 minutes later and my food was fresh and ready. I was so excited. I got to the car, in which I bit into a soggy and rubbery quesadilla because the liquid from the sauce spilled in the container. The actual tortilla was awful. It was rubbery and flavorless and hard to digest and wasn't really grilled like other quesadillas I've had. The meat wasn't seasoned well, and the cheese was rubbery and lacked flavor. The chips were hard with no sauce. The best thing about the experience was her being kind. The food was definitely not something I'd ever try again, but I would recommend other people try it and form their own opinion.

    Visiting from California. Felt like tacos after a disappointing Italian outing. This place is Legit! did not disappoint. Tacos are a regular size. Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus) was delicious & well made! The red spicy salsa was perfectly spicy! Green salsa was tasty too. Recommend! ( All food is To Go.)

    Everyone talks about it here non-stop because everyone (whether rightfully or not) has an opinion of where to find the best tacos are in the city. So I stopped here one afternoon with my SO. He ordered three of the meat tacos (I don't remember which ones) and I ordered the veggie burrito. He clarified that they were indeed authentically good because they used two tortilla soft shells instead of one. Although he did say they were lacking in the sauce. You can purchase sour cream, hot sauce, and what not on the side which could have easily fixed that. The veggie burrito was a hella better than I anticipated it being. It was well seasoned and I'd gladly get it again. It's the size of a stomach so best to eat only a half at a a time. I'd recommend getting the food to go. The ambiance is non-existent and people come here just for the food and the Mexican coca colas. Walk a few blocks south and enjoy the food at Patterson Park. My only complaint is that they use styrofoam to package everything. If they found something more sustainable or even recyclable I would be so much more pleased.

    If I could, I'll give 10 So happy I found a place to eat AUTHENTIC mexican food, I will definitely take the drive here to eat. If you really want to try authentic quesadillas, tacos the way it supposed to taste, spicy salsa if you are into to give an extra kick to your meal. I'm beyond excited to to show you why this place took 5 star reviews: Al pastor tacos: comes with 2 tortillas, chopped onion and cilantro Tacos: chopped onion and cilantro, lime, nopal, spring onion, radish and cucumber Quesadillas: completely freshly made, corn long tortilla and the best thing is that in 7 years I've been living in MD is the first time I found huitlacoche which Mexican caviar Home made chips, even though they were colder than most places, the fact this ones are made here took an extra star. The fresh flavored water did not disappoints either, I had horchata and I'm crazy picky about this, I can tell when is from the bottle and when is made at the place. No, they don't serve vegan No, it's not a hipster place No, it's not TexMex No, don't come looking for a fancy spot No, don't ask for wifi No, is not that big.

    A hole in the wall for great Mexican food! A fellow yelper recommended this place and my friends and I came after a yelp event. I ordered the chicken enchilada with green sauce that came with a side of rice and black beans and my mouth exploded with flavors. So delicious is all I can say. I tried a bit of my friends Horchata drink and that was the best version I've ever tasted. It was not too sweet. The tres leche cake was amazing. Overall a great place for great food. Can't say more.

    This is the greatest Mexican food in Bmore. It's a order to-go kind of place. I've had the chicken tacos, chicken burrito, horchata, and the tres leches cake. OMG, this place is authentic and the food is delicious. The horchata is made the right way, and the tres leches cake isn't dry- it's always moist. The chicken tacos and burrito are great as well. The red sauce is the hottest and the best sauce. They speak minimal English, but can understand an order over the phone. You gotta try the food. Attached is the menu.

    Tacos de Cabeza
    Jack M.

    Typical Hispanic small restaurant. There is zero atmosphere. It's messy and somewhat unclean appearing. I ordered the tacos de cabeza. The meat was super fatty without much acidity. This made for an unbalanced flavor profile. While the meat was tender, I quickly grew tired of the heaviness of the beef fat in the tacos. The tortillas are mediocre. I found the corn tortillas to be gritty. There aren't many great places in this area. Tijuana had decent execution with poor flavor and texture balancing.

    Tijuana Tacos 3 specializes in more than just delightful tacos. They also offer variety of Mexican delicacies, my favorite of which are their Chilaquiles. Chilaquiles are essentially layers upon layers of corn tortillas and queso with a sauce of your choice (I always go green) and finally, topped with two eggs - it's a wonderfully comforting and warm brunch/lunch. I always pair my order of Chilaquiles with one of Tijuana Tacos' freshly made ricas aguas. They have an extensive list to choose from and I've sampled most of them, you really can't go wrong. I am particularly fond of the cantaloupe or melon. Not overly sweet and perfect to wash a meal down. Another menu favorite is the Torta (essentially a massive sandwich stuffed with a protein of your choice plus beans, cheese, avocados, peppers, etc). Regardless of what you order, the portions are large (I can always can make two meals from one entree). With respect to pickup/take out - the staff is consistently friendly as well as masked and gloved. You can tell safety is a priority as there is signage indicating masks are required and social distancing of 6 ft is requested. Our takeout order is always made on time/quickly. This place has been a go-to for us during quarantine (it's dangerously convenient to my home).

    Tacos Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, and Al Pastor, with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Price to quality ratio was great, highly recommend!

    Came to check out this place at the recommendation of a friend after an afternoon in Patterson Park. I got Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, and Al Pastor for 10.50$, with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Price to quality ratio was great, 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!

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.
