Love this place. Great tacos, sope's and chicken wings. Ill be blunt tho burrito was pretty awful though. VERY little lengua and a ton of fillers that just didnt taste that good nor hot. The menudo definitely isn't cleaned well as you could still taste the intestinal lining/metallic taste. But thats why their name is Tijuana Tacos and not Tijuana Burritos or Tijuana Menudo. Lesson Learned. read more

If only they had margaritas! I came on the recommendation of helper yelpers. My order: guacamole with chips, chile rellenos. I was hoping so, SO hard that - for once - somebody could cook me some rellenos. The answer? Unequivocally, yes. The batter was excellent, cheese tasty, sauce was interesting - and even the peppers themselves tasted great. I am so thrilled! The black beans had an excellent flavor and were cooked well. The texture was exactly right. The rice was seasoned well - mix it with some relleno sauce and eat it all up. Guacamole was limey, which was...good. I prefer a bit of a stronger cilantro flavor in guacamole, but I did like it a lot. The chips are thick and crunchy. They're great for dipping since they're sturdy enough to load up. Service was fast. I got my order to go, it's kind of a squeeze in the divey restaurant. I know I'm coming back. I'm very satisfied for a first visit. read more

Tijuana Tacos 3 - Pico de gallooooo - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Mexican food was authentic, I ordered various tacos but the meat was kinda overcooked. My daughter's Quesadilla was delicious though. The staff was kinda disengaging so that was a turn off. read more

Have never been here and am new to Baltimore. Ordered delivery for tacos, rice and beans, and horchata. Seemed a bit $$ upon ordering but they went above and beyond because the horchata is actually a quart, the tacos came with a ton of sauces, limes etc, and a good portion of rice and beans. It was delicious and well worth the price. Definitely will be back! read more

There's a certain genre of joint that you go to for the food but are completely scared pantsless when getting your food. This is one of those places. Tijuana Tacos 3 is a dive, plain and simple. It quite honestly looks like it has about three billion health code violations, and the overall image is one that should be avoided by every restaurant on the planet. Needless to say, there are bars on the door, and virtually no-one speaks English. The tacos were excellent but, unfortunately, I decided to err on the side of adventurousness and mainly get a fajita platter, which was simply underwhelming. It was under-seasoned and bland in a terrible way - and they forgot to provide tortillas to boot. I ended up more or less choking down bland grilled meat with very little flavor - not a pleasant experience. Still, the tacos here seem to be the main thing to go for, so I'd definitely stick with those. read more

Best Mexican in Baltimore as far as this person is concerned. Authentic, fast delivery and delicious food! What more could you ask for. Try the Tres Leches Cake! It is phenomenal, absolutely authentic Mexican cake, so moist you don't even need to drink after you eat it. I cannot say enough good things about this place, when you find a great dependable take out restaurant, you want to spread the word, so others can share in the joy of good food! read more

These are the best tacos and tostadas in Baltimore, period. Hands down. Real Al Pastor, Cesina, and even Surtida! All the different meats. The drinks are so good its not even funny. Don't get filled by the gentrification spots. Go here! Order from here. #deadass read more

Good, authentic Mexican food at a great price. We got our food to go. It's a bit of a hole in the wall but they do accept credit cards. Tacos (4 stars): Tacos are the highlight here. We wanted to try as many flavors as we could and ordered the carne asada, pollo asado, carnitas, al pastor, and carne enchilada. The carnitas were the clear favorite - fatty pork, well seasoned. The pollo asado wasn't great but everything else was good. The tacos come with cilantro and onion toppings as well as cucumbers, grilled cactus, onions, and hot sauce on the side. 3 per person is probably enough. Chips and Guacamole (2 stars): This was a disappointment as I was really craving guac. Super watery, sort of like a mix of guac and salsa. The chips were thick but lacked crunch, almost stale. Burrito (3 stars): This was just ok. I'll be sticking with tacos in the future. read more

I no longer live in Baltimore :( (like for 3 years), but I still often think about this taco place. For reference, I've lived in LA which is foodie galore and also Colorado, but these are personally still my favorite tacos. It's that good!!! Check it out, you won't be disappointed read more

This place is pretty solid. After moving here from the West Coast, I have to say this is the closest we have gotten to good Mexican food with street tacos. Their salsa/sauce is flavored really good and is best when poured over your tacos. I like to get the 3 tacos with carne asada. I need to branch out and try other items on the menu because I'm a creature of habit and stick to what I know. The place isn't much to look at on the inside but I'm also there for the food, not the place. We go there often when we want our Mexican fix. They would get 5 stars but there is a bit too much fat on the pork which I love pork street tacos. Oh well, it's still a good place to eat at. read more

Oh man, nothing but good things to say here. My favorite tacos in the city hands down. We've tried them all; they were all amazing. You can get Al Pastor tacos at many locations in the city, but none as tasty as these. It's a dive and I wouldn't eat there, but grab your tacos to go and enjoy! read more

Tijuana Tacos 3 - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Order via grubhub (free delivery). Placed an order for three different tacos- al pastor (liked how the pork wasn't too fatty), carne asada (meat wasn't gamey) and pollo (not dry). Portion sizes are huge and topped with plenty of onions and cilantro. Came with leek, cactus, cucumbers, lime and two separate hot sauces. Definitely recommend! read more

Tijuana Tacos 3 - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Was recommended this place by a friend and was very impressed by the quality of tacos, burritos, and desserts available. Everything is fresh tasting and well flavored. We got takeout from GrubHub and were very happy with the presentation, preparation, and delivery time. Looking forward to coming back here again! Favorites: Chorizo, Steak tacos ** Must try the Tres Leches if you're fan (if you're not familiar, imagine a pound cake with sweetened milk that makes for an amazing food coma) read more

I love tortas! I get them in Mexico, but never really tried one here. The torta al pastor I got was excellent! I was sorry I only ordered two! Perfecto! I also got chips with guacamole. Best damn gaucamole I've had in years. Homemade chips too. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. ¡Muy delisioso! !Muy rapido servicio! Yo soy uno gringo felices!! ¡ Mucho Gracias' read more

Tijuana Tacos 3 - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'm NOT a mexican food fan; but I've been here twice and it is damn GOOD. The carne asada "fix" mentioned in other reviews is for real. They season it a certain way and grill it perfectly. I've tried the chicken and it is unique with spices cooked in. One sopa/tostada is only $3 something and it is big enough as a meal. I go for the aguas, these exotic flavored drinks that are mildly sweet and so cool and refreshing on a hot day. These are a great deal at only $3 for a very large and wide cup. The owners are so friendly too. We were curious to try a sample of some agua flavors and didn't even know it would require them to make a batch especially for us to try, but the guy went ahead and did it, giving us two 8oz samples of two different flavors! What a treat. I've heard this is a hidden gem down at Patterson Park and I believe it :) read more

I moved to Baltimore from California two years ago for uni and was pretty much resigned to leaving all Mexican food behind. When my friend suggested grabbing tacos here (she is an avid Yelper), I must admit I was a bit skeptical. I came here with low expectations and left with the overall impression -- "Not bad". It's nothing to write home about, but it's probably some of the most decent Mexican food you'll find in Maryland. Rating Breakdown: 1/2 Stars for Taste - I got a lengua burrito and my friends got an assortment of tacos. The lengua was dry for my taste and could pretty much have passed for carne asada. The meats were well-seasoned and flavorful, but the texture was just lackluster. The burrito was pretty forgettable, but I really enjoyed the shredded cheese they use. I don't know what kind of cheese it was (maybe mozzarella?), but it wasn't melted in the burrito and really stood out in the mix of the flavors. Yummy. If you're not that into texture when it comes to food, this place will suffice. I would, however, highly recommend the rice. It was moist and delicious. 1/1 Stars for Value - It was $7.99 for a burrito platter (comes with rice) and about $3 for each taco. Decent prices by Maryland standards. The taco platter comes with some grilled veggies (cactus, beet, whole onion bulbs), as well as green and red salsa. You can also get some Mexican sodas for about $2. 1/1 for Customer Service: The man behind the counter was super chill, insisting that we pay after we'd eaten our meal. Though service was a bit slow, the waiters and waitresses were nice and we didn't mind the wait. Most importantly, no one made me feel guilty or out of place for being Asian/not being able to speak Spanish. This place is a little in the middle of nowhere for me and the food just isn't worth the trip. No bonus star because I probably wouldn't come again. read more

Took the family here and had a great meal. They give really nice portions, friendy service and i didnt go broke. I fed 3 adults (myself included) and 1 child for 40 bucks. Everyone enjoyed their meals. 5 stars all day! We ate inside and it was a little cold in there but the food was so good it didnt matter. I will be back for sure read more

Tijuana Tacos 3 - Chimi changa - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We weren't sure what to expect based on the outside and when we first walked in, but weren't disappointed! The aguas frescas alone are worth a visit (I got mango), and we also enjoyed the torta con carne enchilada and some chalupas. There's even a bathroom, not a guarantee for these little spots around Patterson Park! Will be back to try the rest of the aguas frescas :) read more

Yummmmm! This is the spot for REAL authentic Mexican food! My group ordered the 3 tacos each and those were plenty (we each only finished 2). You get a slice of nopales and radishes on the side. The Horchata and the Jamaica were on point. They're served in huge cups so no need for refills... Will not disappoint! and I'm a Latina from Southern California who misses my moms home made Mexican food. Will definitely be back for tacos when back in the area. read more

Tijuana Tacos 3 - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place was a little hard to find but it was worth the hassle. The tacos were INCREDIBLY flavored and the cubano torta was stuffed. The horchata is supreme, 10/10 would recommend this place! Tastes the most authentic in the area. read more

Some of my favorite taco spots are seriously nothing special from the outside. Tijuana Tacos 3 in Patterson Park is no different. I first heard about this spot from the Baltimore Magazine Taco issue - as I'm forever in search of tacos you bet this was on my radar and I was surely not disappointed when I finally made it in. I'm almost never the person who wants to order in, so of course we ate there. My girlfriend and I couldn't decide between the tacos and tostadas (even though I heard the nachos were awesome) so we ordered both and shared. The Tacos come three to an order and you can mix and match proteins. We kept it consistent and had the carne asada in all three. These tacos were pretty straightforward and that was just what we were craving. I can't wait to try the other varieties. The Carne Asada Tostadas were my favorite of the two dishes. Under that pile of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese was more delicious steak, refried beans, and a crispy tortilla. I'm drooling just thinking about how good this was. read more

This was the start of our taco crawl in Baltimore. The chips were a little thick and were ok. But the tacos were great. The chicken was flavorful and the favorite. The beef, I would order again but it would be better on nachos. The al pastor was good but would be third on my list. The cactus was good and of course the cilantro and onions were plentiful read more

Tijuana Tacos 3 - Red sauce- very spicy - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Best AUTHENTIC Mexican in Baltimore. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, they have it all. When you stop by don't forget to try out their Horchata and natural juices (best I ever had). Everthing they have will make you go back. They get a high recommendation rating from me. read more

I'm sorry but I have to share. about 3 months ago I order 3 tacos. When I entered the restaurant the guy that works there was eating ok that's normal stuff, but when he was finish he scrapped rice off his plate and into the pot of rice that they was serving to the customers i couldn't believe my eyes. Hey so if u continue to eat from this place the choice is yours but i would definitely pray over my food from this restaurant. They will never get my money oh n yes I did address the issue with them but they act like it was normal ok so yes ill never go to this restaurant again God only knows what they do in the back kitchen read more

DELICIOUS tacos, and they're big too. As good as I've had. This place is worth every penny.

4.5 stars (with a possibility of 5 stars next time I visit). Stopped for lunch here today for some tacos; after reading the reviews I got the al pastor. Fuq those were some DELICIOUS tacos. The meat was heavily seasoned and there was pineapple in there. I also put on some of their homemade salsa verde. Soo good but not for the faint of heart spice-wise. The tacos also came with grilled scallions and a cactus pad--both extremely delicious! As others have said, it's kind of a dump on the inside if that bothers you, but the food is excellent. Except for the chips. They were pretty bad, but I didn't really care. Next time I want to try the Aguas! read more

Consistently good, authentic Mexican food.

I lived most of my life in California and Arizona, moving to the East Coast I was concerned about the availability of Mexican food. However, Tijuana Tacos reduced this anxiety. When I get a craving for Menudo soup, huit la coche or mole enchiladas this is the place to go. The flavors are traditional and the sauces are all well developed. The lengua tacos are particularly good. To me, it could be allot spicer though, but that is what hot sauce is for I suppose. The atmosphere in the restaurant is small and pretty cramped - I usually order delivery. read more

This establishment has its cooks cooking behind the line without a mask. They also do not respect the menu prices so make sure you ask for prices before they make up their own. I guess it's a cool place if you've been vaccinated. read more

I got cheese enchiladas to go and there were a choking hazard. There was way more than normal cheese and it was solidified and flavorless. I took a bit that barely had tortilla in it and gagged. The rice and beans were good, but I'm mad I spent money on this meal. read more

best food ever and they deliver with out grughub etc which is awesome. and their driver is always on time and so kind you must try their burrito's we order from them at least twice a week read more

A regular lunch spot and is reliably satisfying. Quick and friendly folks and always more food than i know what to do with. Go to neighborhood spot to satisfy a taco craving. read more

This place is just ok, and it's pricey for what it is. The order was for tacos, a sope and chalupas. The meat in the tacos was all quite dry, an pretty overcooked. It didn't seem fresh. It had a healthy amount of heat but the flavor was a little lacking. The salsas are good but I found myself using them more than I normally would just to compensate for the dryness. The thing I probably found the most discouraging was the sope; it was honestly just a large taco. Sopes are supposed to have a different, thicker base, and should also have beans, but this honestly had exactly the same ingredients as the taco save for some lettuce and sour cream on top, and the base was just a standard corn tortilla. If I'd wanted another taco, I would have ordered another taco! Don't advertise sopes unless you're prepared to make them properly. The chalupas were completely soft; I thought chalupas were supposed to be deep fried. It's possible that they just softened up in the delivery process, however, so I can't necessarily attribute this to the restaurant itself. Overall, while this place looks authentic, I would characterize everything as kind of lacking. You can get much better Mexican food in Baltimore. read more

I ordered yesterday and everything was fine. Al Pastor is still my favorite and the strawberry water is good. If you need quick take out they always get your order done on time or a little before. Portions are fine for the price even though I miss the previous portions of the cactus I'll still be ordering when in a hurry and hungry. read more

Tacos are bomb AF! Tostadas are my go to, if u want to bring the heat get the pollo loco.

THIS PLACE IS A HIDDEN GEM! Al pastor Burrito is the best I've ever had. Authentic, Good Portion, Quick Delivery via Uber Eats. read more

Best guacamole in Baltimore. Quesadilla surprisingly fantastic, made with corn tortilla. Love this place.

My work orders lunch from here almost everyday. Arguably the best tacos in city they even have mole sauce. Rare find
