“ One of my favorite spots in Baltimore for delicious food at a very good price. Their chips are made in house and sauces are amazing. 10/10, I can't recommend them enough. ”

“ Food was absolutely delicious and authentic, and staff was very kind. Would certainly recommend ”
“ Have been here a few times now and can say that this is a solid place for a quick Mexican food fix! - has all the staples (sauces, complimentary refillable chips with salsa for your table, large pitchers of horchata, etc) as well as all the menu staples - yummy food at great price point. For example, a burrito is $7! - friendly neighborhood vibe here (once when the line was long/they were busy, one of their staff even came out and gave the people waiting samples of their michelada) - good service whether small or large table (they were super accommodating when we had a large birthday table there once) - fun, inspired decor complete with two TVs playing Latin shows/music. Clean and well maintained interior. Coming from California, there are times when I miss Mexican food and I am very glad I have this place within walking distance! I'm excited to try other things on their menu! Tip: street parking may be tough to find sometimes, pay with meter ”
“ Amazing tacos!! Great service on top of that! We tried the Tripa, Al Pastor, Lengua, and Carne Asada tacos, tostada, and torta. All delicious but my top faves were tripa, al pastor, and lengua. Carne asada was delicious but a bit tough to chew. Their horchata was served in a pitcher! Definitely could share with another person! Will be back to try other dishes! ”
“ Food: 4.25 Out of 5 Now this is the authentic Mexican food I'm looking for when I need a fix. We were provided chips and three different kinds of salsa (salsa rojo, verde, & pico de gallo) as we settled into our table for dinner. My partner & I ordered three tacos each and we split a horchata (literally a pitcher size provided). My goodness! The meats of everything we ordered is what I know what amazing Mexican food to be -- flavorful, homemade feel & great texture of meat. Yes I admit the chips we had were unevenly cooked, some chips obviously older & just refried, but who really judges the entire place off chips?! (A gringo who literally can't handle the heat of Mexican salsas! Lol). Back to the tacos! The corn tortillas are made in house (handmade & pressed to order) and a generous portion of your protein, with a side of nopales, grilled scallion, limes, and radishes. Thank goodness we ordered a horchata to give us some relief in between. Horchata is a very sweet rice milk drink with plenty of sugar and a cinnamon stick. Fair warning this place has a heavier hand with chilies in their salsas. Meats ordered: carnitas, al pastor, carnitas enchilada, carne asada, & chorizo. Service: 4.75 Out of 5 The ladies that served us were wonderful and easy going. Leslie was our main waitress, but the other lady checked up on us as she walked by. No news was good news for them. If we ever needed anything we walked up to the counter to ask, the ladies were accommodating to requests. Environment: 5 Out 5 Off the beaten path of Fell's Point waterfront, about 10-15 minutes walk on Eastern Ave. Hole in the wall look on the outside, but fabulous home cooking on the inside. In addition to the four seating tables they have three large communal tables if you want to come bring your family or bunch of friends! Overall 4.5 Out of 5 stars: El Taquito brought me back to Mexico and the homes of my college best friends. If you're looking for fancy this place is NOT for you. But if you care about the basics like great food, good price point, & can bring plenty of company try this place out! None of that Tex Mex or gringo style Mexican some places sell by the water front in Fell's Point. ”
