Excellent quality food! The tacos were $3.50 each and came in an order of two each---we ordered two beef and two bean, and they were incredibly fresh, tasty, filling, and satisfying. We ate these at home so added our own sour cream and hot sauce. There was still Halloween decor inside (it's December, bring out the Santa!), the service was pleasant, the interior looked clean, and outdoor signage was well maintained. We'll definitely dine in next time and give some new item a whirl. read more

ORDEER & PICKUP ONLY! Whenever I am in the Owings Mills area and I have taste for Mexican food, Nino Taco is my go-to destination. I ordered the mile high nachos with beans, no meat and paid online for pickup. It was ready when I go there. The staff were pleasant during pickup. Easy, peasy! The ambiance was casual and laid back, perfect for a stop in to enjoy your food. The mile high nachos were good: loaded with chips, sauce and cheese and nicely toasted, just how I like it! All in all Nino Taco will continue to be my go-to Mexican spot when in the area. read more

If you are trying to order for your office for lunch do not bother unless your office is big. They do not take orders for below 15 people. I guess they just do not want the business. read more

I'm 47 years old I've had all kinds of foods in my life I've never once had taco meat that tasted sweet I don't understand why they would use those seasonings and taco meat this was such a bad idea to come here my daughter and I are super disappointed and will never come back here I will definitely steer clear anybody who asks about this place read more

I've been eating at Nino Taco for years. I enjoy their food. It's definitely a step up from a Taco Bell. The customer service is usually good for dine in or take out. What I love is the Taco Salad, the Mexican Pizza, and the Burrito Platter. It gives more of a Tex Mex feel, but it's tasty. Now, Nino Taco isn't fine Mexican dining but it's good for my needs and that of the community as they have loyal customers that have be patronizing them for years. In case you are wondering why a 3 star rating? Well, one thing I don't like is that they don't use gloves when preparing the food, especially when serving up the chips they just grab them with their bare hands. Now, there is a sink that they do a quick hand wash in, but Covid has made me more aware of germs and this makes me uncomfortable enough to not get the chips because of the direct contact of flesh to chips. I hope they change this routine in the future because it's not sanitary. read more

Me and my Husband haven't been to this place in about 10 years, we were not impressed with the Food. So we were in the area and wanted Mexican Food so we decided to try them again. We ordered a couple of items and they were pretty good. The food came out fast and hot. We were impressed this time and we plan on returning to try other menu items. I took off a star off because they don't give you complimentary Salsa and Chips. We had to pay for them and the Salsa was too sweet. read more

No. Nope. No way. This was school lunch level, middle-school lunch. I'm really frustrated with myself for spending money here. The staff was nice and friendly. read more

I love their food and hadn't been in a while so I decided to stop in for lunch. I called my order in and they said it would be 15-20 minutes. When I got there it was hot and ready to go. The service is always good and they are very friendly. If you're expecting the authentic, this is your place but their doin on it is very good. Got my favorite the Chimichanga all beef, spicy with extra cheese. As usual they never disappoint!! So good. My favorite go to spot when I'm in the mood for Mexican. read more

Nino Taco - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

i really want to still like Nino Taco because i remember the Randallstown location. Today the taste is not there and the quality is gone. Very skimpy tasting and the meat is bland..i had the signature Meat Sombrero which is now 15.99 and it was dry, near sauceless..when folk can make it better at home, they stay home! . read more

Imagine if you will lunch lady Mexican food mixed with a side of hospital cafeteria. I don't mean good hospital, I mean like the middle of Nebraska community hospital food. I have no idea what this food was we were served tonight but it made Taco Bell look like 5 star dining. The "burrito" was served open ended on both sides and was completely soggy. The food had no taste , and the salsa I swear was Marinara sauce. I never leave bad reviews, I usually just move along, but I would like to save anyone else from eating this chow. read more

I've been eating here for over 20 years. The current two girl crew goes above and beyond to please their customers. The personal attention I receive each time I go is the reason I keep coming back. Oh yeah, the food is good too. read more

Loved the salsa that came with the chips & salsa appetizer we ordered. The little condiment cup of salsa that came with my chicken quesadilla was kinda bland though. The quesadilla was quite good, as were the refried beans on the side. Sadly the nacho cheese side that came with my platter was super bland. All in all, it was all okay. I'd go back just for the appetizer salsa. Should have got some to go. read more

Ordered delivery from here because I wanted Mexican food on a Tuesday. Looked at the tacos but ended up deciding on a burrito platter. It came with a beef burrito, nachos, and Mexican rice. I used door dash so it was kind of expensive. My food was still hot when it arrived. I enjoyed it. The burrito has a good flavor. I opted for the mild salsa with it and some sour cream. Portion size was great for the burrito but skimpy on the sides. I would go back again but next time I will just drive over to pick it up. read more

Came here as a last minute option due to it being packed everywhere else on cinco de mayo. When we walked in we were a little taken a back by the staff. The staff marches to the beat of their own drum. Although the server tried her best to help us, the food was just not good at all. The ground beef is almost like minced meat, and the tacos are the same as the tacos that you buy in the grocery store ( 10 pack that comes with the sauce And the seasoning). I let the chef know that the meat was cold and unseasoned, and he looked at me like I had four eyes. We will not be going back to this establishment. read more

Service was terrible, food was not appealing, nor did we get what we ordered. Very disappointing. I've never been here before nor will I go back. I was really hungry too. Now I will have to go eat elsewhere read more

Okay, this isn't 5 Star food and atmosphere. But, it is a nice little place with decent mixed margaritas. Dropped in for a quick bite. There were a couple of regulars. Service was fast and friendly. Ordered Mile High Nachos. I learned something. They were prepared in a walled pan. All the chips were carefully arranged vertically. Then the toppings were added, and baked to melted goodness. I enjoyed everything. read more

Oldie but a goodie. This is a casual TexMex spot that has been around forever! I knew it back when it was still in their old place. But I'm so happy to see it's still around, with the same good food and good vibes. Its clean and service is quick. It's not high end dining, complex flavor combinations or over priced Mexican food like you can find down at the four seasons. It's good food for a good price. I see so many "food critics" on here acting disappointed with TexMex and I'm just confused why they are leaving a review at all! If you're looking for some consistent TexMex and you're in the area it's definitely worth checking out. I love the Mexican pizza with beef, I enjoy the chips and salsa and Queso. I usually get the chimichanga well done. I add hot sauce to my food but they do give you the mild, medium, spicy option for most of their dishes. And for me the nostalgia is worth the drive over there read more

I've never been so proud to get the runs than when I ate here. The Mexican pizza was so greasy and cheesy that I knew i would be punishing the porcelain gods later with my prickled rosebud but sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze. At one particular point during my mile high nacho binge, which was exceptional, (Also a lot of bang for your buck) I tried to force out a silent one but it sounded like two ducks fighting over a piece of wonder bread. I was proud of the food I ate here. My tinder date may have walked out on me in the middle of our date here but she said she had a big appetite for beefy burritos in her profile. Oh well, her loss. I only gave it four stars because the soap in the bathroom was foam type and not the normal kind. read more

It was ok. The tacos had a sweet taste to them that I didn't like and it' was alittle oily as well. But the side are good and the fried cheesecake was amazing. Honestly don't think If I would go back but if I do I would try something different read more

Nino Taco - Three tacos combo - Mexican Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

Came here for a fast lunch. Walked in and ordered at the Carry Out stand. The Chef was also the order taker, so he kept asking me what i wanted all the while turning his back to continue making food and taking my order at the same time. Rude, considering when i was asking questions he was talking to the wall instead of around to me. Told him i'm deaf and i was having a hard enough time hearing him while he wasn't even facing me. I got the 2 taco platter with Mexican Rice and Nachos on the side. Rice is kind of dry, nacho cheese is like 'plastic-y'. Tacos were filled with beef, lettuce, cheese and salsa. Mezcal is authentic, go there. read more

Not a welcoming place at all. Food was ok but I will never eat there again. Taco bell is way better I had a taco Salad and it was more of salad than an taco Salad. It's really a waste of money and time not made for diversity at all for it to be in a diverse area. read more

DO NOT judge a book buy it's cover. Yes the windows could use an extra scrub. Yes the cups that they use are not glass or plastic, but Styrofoam. Yes the plates that the food is served on is plastic. At the end of the day, there food is just one step above tacobell. I got the three tacos and rice. It also came with chips and cheese. My favorite part was the ships and cheese. Everything came together nice and tight. The soda did not taste like rank (that's what the inside of a soda machine taste like) it tasted like it came straight from the bottle. Thought I learned my lesson when I was in grade school, but I didn't. If you happened to see this place, don't let the outside fool you. Walk in and take a seat, because your in for a great visit. read more

Ate here for lunch today with my coworker. We understand the gimmick...fast and easy american style tacos. But holy shit how do you fuck up ground beef for American tacos...this place is horrendous, has absolutely no flavor and needs to go out of business asap. How this terrible shit hole has been open for so long I'll never understand. Do not eat here. Here's a tip if your that much of a lazy fuck to season your meat...buy some damn McCormick seasoning packets, you would be much better off using them... read more

Ninos is an area staple and has been for quite some time (different locations). It's nostalgic, good TexMex. They're usually understaffed and everything you eat with/off of is disposable so temper your expectations. The food makes up for it and it's a must-visit every time I'm back in town. The ambiance of this place is a lot like the old on on Washington Blvd and a lot nicer than the original Randallstown location. The food is exactly the same, thank goodness! I've always got the best service at the bar and wouldn't recommend going here close to closing time (short staffed and usually hurried service). Now to the food! Seriously it's amazing. I guess if you're expecting authentic cuisine or other establishments presentations of popular dishes you may be disappointed...Ninos does things their own way and it works. I haven't had them in a while but the burritos used to come open face and baked. The Mexican pizza is more like a pizza-like open quesadilla. Some of their fried appetizer options are just typical run-of-the-mill things you can get at most places. Where Ninos really shines is with their nachos and tostada. Firstly, everything is fried in house (nacho chips, tortilla bowls, churros, all of it) and it makes a difference. The nachos are piled high and slathered in a gooey mess of nacho cheese (we think they put crack in it), sauce, and a protein or not; it's huge so I suggest starting with the 3/4 size before going all-in. The tostada has similar ingredients and a different presentation...two flour tortillas are fried flat and sandwiched together beef before being covered with cheese, sauce, and sour cream. It's devine. You can't miss with their tacos either and a taco platter is the perfect serving of tacos, chips and cheese, and beans. Their salads can get intense, salad sounds healthy but I don't think these count....delicious, not healthy. I recommend getting a side of sour cream with pretty much everything on their menu because it just works oh so perfectly. Grab an order of churros for desert if you have room, just be advised your soda will taste a bit less sweet after eating them. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, Nino Taco is NOT the place. The food was average. The guacamole didn't have the chunks of fresh avocado which is what I look for when I order guac. Wait time was not bad. I did enjoy the chicken fajita burrito. The rice was a bit dry though. read more

Nino Taco was a neighborhood institution for years in Randallstown before moving to Arbutus then again to Owings Mills. They have a loyal following and I can understand why. The portions are enormous and prices are reasonable. Food is very good, especially the Mexican Pizza (which we always order as an appetizer to share, even though it's listed as an entree) and the Meat Sombrero. Note: the beef here is standard ground beef taco meat, no fancy carne asada or barbacoa style. Atmosphere is seat-yourself casual and food is served on paper/styrofoam plates. My kids love this place, and I like it very much but it's not on my top 3 list of favorite Mexican restaurants. I still eat there fairly often, though. read more

Floors were disgusting as they were stickier even than a movie theatre. I don't think they ever use a mop to cleanup. Hands down the WORST food I have EVER HAD! I actually was debating on vomitting after I ate the chicken fajita burrito I bought. I don't know what part of the chicken I ate. It was the only burrito I have ever had that had mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar or pepperjack. The green peppers were not cooked and the onions were either pickled or gone bad, but definitely not fried as listed in the menu. The sauce tasted like a can of tomato sauce with absolutely no spices added. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! I ate a bag of popcorn after to stabilize my stomach. I agree with everyone who said Taco Bell is WAY better than this restaurant. I have a cast iron stomach according to my friends and even I was tested to the max eating here. I strongly recommend either starving or going someplace else like mcdonald's or taco bell instead of eating here. read more

Honestly Taco Bell is better. I ordered nachos and they used cheese whiz and it was cold. read more

Niño niño niño. I like this place, but I just don't "like like" this place. I'm not slipping it a wadded up note in class to check yes or no. I always leave stuffed. And I always like the way my food tastes. So what's wrong? It feels like someone just made me an old El Paso dinner kit with some ground beef they got at the grocery store and slapped it on a precariously bulging styrofoam plate. The nachos and cheese are from the big tub of yellow melty cheese that is probably one molecule away from plastic. Not saying I don't eat every last drop and come back for more though! Just saying it's nothing special. They do seem to add some Italian seasoning to their dishes, and sometimes that's an interesting twist. The waiter is nice and friendly. The place seems to draw a decent lunch crowd. The prices aren't bad. But I could serve you the same (on a nicer plate) at home. read more

Once upon a time this place was excellent. I went here a lot when they were in Randallstown. I lived across the street at the purple house and mile-highs were like $5 back then and delicious! I moved out of state and every time I visited, Nino Taco was usually my first go to place for food, but unfortunately it seems it got worse and worse every time. I wish they could bring back the old Nino Taco, but I'm sure they had to cut costs overtime with rent inflation from Randallstown to Owings Mills. It definitely shows in the food even though their website claims they've been using the same stuff for 40 yrs. Its almost ALL canned foods!!! read more

I love Nino Taco, I just hate there's only one location and it's pretty far. Everything on the menu is great wish I could visit more.

Terrible. Everything is made using ingredients from bulk cans of low-grade food supplied by Sysco. I recognize the pizza sauce cans from my college days. Refried beans, nacho "cheese" sauce, jalapeños, tomato sauce, etc. all from bargain basement industrial food cans. I know this because they are clearly visible behind the counter and because the processed, industrial food was disgusting. The server was nice enough, but the food was so bad, I'd never eat there again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You'd be better off getting food at Royal Farms. read more

I've been eating at nino taco for over 15 years. I still remember the old location on liberty road. The food has been consistently great throughout all these years.

Nino Taco - Tostada combo 1/2 size. Sooooo good! - Mexican Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

I have fond memories of Nino Taco. I've been enjoying their food since I was little. I used to go to the locations in Randallstown and Arbutus before they closed. I'm glad this location is here. I highly recommend the Mexican Pizza. It is nothing like the kind found at Taco Bell. This is hundreds of times better and different. I pour hot sauce on it and even dip it in sour cream. The churros are also nice if they're done correctly by not over frying. read more

After my boyfriend talked this place up so much every time I told him I wanted some "good tacos", we went one night for dinner. I moved here from Texas, so I needed a to-go place to add to our rotation. We placed an order to go. The staff wasn't very friendly, but that's ok. I am picking it up. I thought this was an authentic Mexican place, but it is not. So you will get the traditional American tacos. The food was ok, the chips and salsa was pretty good. I will say they have good prices on just about everything on their menu. But like one reviewer said below, the stuff they serve you is processed and from cans/jars. I can make this at home. All in all- would I go back again? Maybe...if I was in the area and was feeling the need for a taco and some chips and salsa. Would I make a special trip from Randallstown? Probably not. I also informed BF after dinner that he mislead me a great deal about this place! read more

Me and a few of my friends at work placed a takeout order for lunch. We used to order from here all the time, but this was our first order in a while. The service seemed pretty ok when we went to pickup our order. However, there was nothing ok when we got back to the office and started eating. My bean burrito was the most bland I've ever eaten, there was no seasoning and no salt, not even on the chips that I ordered. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning. read more
