Great Tex Mex food for the area. Come in and play games while you wait. Lots of choices for meats and drinks. Great spice!

Stopped in here for lunch and found some good food! It’s a bit out of the way but worth the stop.

My boyfriend and I moved to Baltimore from LA two years ago and this place serves the closest to the kind of southern California style mexican food we are used to. The two owners (super nice guys) are local and also from San Diego. Their salsa is very flavorful, spicy enough (they have less spicy versions if you can't deal), great traditional tacos with al pastor (!!! although could be a smidge less sweet), super bomber lengua, carne asada, barbacoa, carnitas. They have 10 taco box for 20 (17.50 or five for 9 on Tues), and fantastic all day happy hour (beer, mixed drinks) on Wed and Sunday. Many other delicious items on the menu for very reasonable prices, including solid vegetarian options. Great place for a casual date or post hike meal near McKeldin area of Patapsco State Park! I'll be back :D

Had a nice lunch here. Took advantage of the lunch specials which were delicious. From the tacos to the enchiladas to the beans it was all excellent. It is a smaller than typical portion - but just right for lunch. Friendly server as well.

Best SoCal Mex around. Had 4 tacos - carnitas and al pastor we’re my favorites. Hubby had a prima carne asada and he cleared his plate. Small place with great ambiance. Live music on Fridays. Awesome specials. Friendly staff. Already planning my next visit and a 10 taco box!

Had an excellent lunch. Drinks were strong and only 5 due to their Monday special. The food was flavorful and plentiful. Restaurant was clean and service was excellent. Everything you want in a restaurant. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! We got the shrimp tacos, prima carne asada, sangria and the big kona wave, and everything was great. This may be one of the best mexican restaurants in the dmv!

Delicious fresh food, would recommend to anyone in the area. Our waitress was very friendly, ambiance is laid back and casual but nice. They have daily specials, Sunday was happy hour all day long which was cool. I got the tacos al pastor and a margarita which were good, satisifed my craving. There is a small bar with several chairs and some tables. Would go back again, great local joint that uses fresh ingredients.
