First, the salsa was outstanding! You could tell it was homemade and we even are taking some home. Second, the Baja tacos were perfect. Exquisitely centered in a flour tortilla with a delicious coleslaw with bits of lightly battened catfish bites with a side of beans drenched in the same sauce as the salsa. And topped with pineapple bits. I think we just found a new favorite restaurant here. Also, it is festively decorated throughout the restaurant Definitely give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

I'll try something else next time, but the empanadas were not very good. A safe choice and fried to order. I thought it would be more seasoned and have a flaky crust. They were small and covered in lettuce and crème. My pina colada was good and decorated with fresh fruits. I loved the chips and salsa! Very good salsa. The outdoor seating is large and sturdy with foot rest. Service was quick and friendly. Of course I was there at 12:45 PM on a Thursday lol. I was checked on multiple times by two different waiters.

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible, Horrible, Horrible, service. Food quality: 3-Stars at best. This review pertains to the service location at Arnold, MD. It is one of three in the Annapolis area. We stopped in as a group of 4 for dinner. It took almost 5 minutes for the waitress to wait on us after we were seated. When she did wait on us, she took our drink orders, disappeared for another 5 minutes, returned with our drinks, and forgot to bring us our glasses of water after delivery of our drinks. 10-minutes later, our bowl of chips and salsa dip were empty with no waitress in sight. Throughout our entire visit, we flagged down any staff member walking by to ask for water, more chips, more dip. Finally, our entrees arrived. Deliveries were made by other servers -- a standard routine at this place. When we finished eating with still no waitress in sight, we flagged down more staff for help. Given the inattentive service, we decided not to order dessert. One of us got up to ask for our bill at the bar/cashiers area. It was only then our waitress came over all to happy to present us with our bill displaying options for tips starting at 20%. Our tip? Zero as in "0". The waitress chuffed off as if she had been denied an optional benefit not earned -- vat least in the minds of all of us. Never, in years of worldwide travel have I seen such poor service. And the problem was not only with our waitress. It seems management at this locale is lacking our at the very least, ineffective. The tipping culture has gotten out of hand in the U.S.. So many customers feel bullied by the entire tipping culture and the process. We're happy in this instance to tip zero. It was well deserved. The food was OK. We are great fans of this chain. The service and food at the Severna Park location is 5-star and you'll note I've rated it so. If you want a great dining experience and want to try this chain, try the Severna Park location.

Connected with two other families and we brought all of our kids (5 in total) here for dinner. They had a great kids menu which included my 2 daughters favorites (bean and cheese burritos and taquitos). This was my first time here and my friends highly recommended the Birria Tacos. I am so happy I listened to them because it was sooooo gooood! It was the first time I had this type of taco. I had a Cadillac Margarita which was good and so big I almost did not finish...but I was up for the challenge. The wait staff were great and our food and drinks came out quickly. They took really good care of us. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Service is usually very fast and the kitchen is open till 10:PM. All the franchise locations are very good. All are well staffed and friendly. Margaritas are good and there are lots of options of course. The birra is their staple item but everything is good. Except their rice and beans... for some reason it's a soft crumbly rice and the black beans taste like paste. I don't get that as most mex restaurants have way better beans than I can make at home. Has been a house favorite, though, for dine-in or takeout. It's not fancy, but it's fast, hot and there's something for everybody. Like most places it's better in house than take-out. Don't sleep on the wings! They're excellent also. However, if you come during that last hour they're open prepare to get blasted with music and staff more focused on cleanup than service. That's okay, just a heads-up... at 9:PM just happy to get a fresh cooked meal.

Overall 3.5/5 stars! Overview: Lots of great choices, so take the time to look and see which meal you'd like! The chips were wonderful to start off my meal, and I loved how thin & crispy they were! I had the El Chile (under Combinacniones), and maybe it's just because I wasn't extremely hungry but the combination was decent. It consisted of a Chicken Tamale, Chicken Taco, and a Steak Sope. The Chicken Tamale was my first time ever tasting a tamale and it tasted extremely floury, but the meat of it tasted wonderful! The Chicken Taco was good, but it wasn't absolutely unique. I ended up taking the Steak Sope home, and when I did, it DID NOT disappoint. I met up with a mentor, and this place is one of her go-tos, however when we went, her meal (I believe one of the steak dishes) was unfortunately pretty undercooked/raw (she ordered it as a Medium). BUT the service was great and our waitress was kind enough to replace her meal with a mor thoroughly & adequately cooked steak! I definitely would come back here to try a new meal; they had a TON of great options. Next time, I will be coming back to try something different!

Senor Chile has three locations (Arnold, Edgewater, and a recently opened one in Severna Park). I have been to all three, and I will review the other two at a later date. The Senor Chile Cantina (Arnold) location is the closest to me. But I only end up going to this location when I want to dine in, as I get takeout from the one in Edgewater (more on that in a bit). First off, the menu is great. I enjoy the Mexican street tacos, and the Birria menu is top-tier. Seriously, if you want good Birria tacos, any of these locations will do it justice. I almost always order the Birria tacos when I go. The consume is superb and is a great dipping sauce for the tender and juicy meat in the tacos. The service is quick and attentive (although I did go when it was not busy, so I can't be a judge on how they perform when slammed or during peak hours like a lunch rush). I mentioned earlier how I go to the Edgewater location to order takeout. That is because I hate onions in my Birria tacos (yes you can judge me for that but I just hate onions in my food). And ordering online through the toast app at the Arnold location does not give me the option to remove the onions, sadly. That minor nitpick aside, Senor Chile Cantina is a nice spot with authentic Mexican food and the best Birria tacos on this side of Maryland.

The food was really good. I asked the server what she recommended and I wasn't disappointed! Definitely will go back! It was busy. It was laid back. Everyone was helpful! Drinks didn't disappoint either!

Whoever made the tortilla soup yesterday- yum! sometimes it's hit or miss, but yesterday's tortilla soup is delic! Brought it for my lunch today.

Stopped in here on a whim and we are so happy we did! The ambiance is great. We loved the Día de Los Muertos themed wall art and the music was very upbeat. The restaurant was clean, cool, and we'll lit too. As for service, our server, the person that brought our food out, and the hostess were all very friendly and helpful too! They weren't quick to pre-bus out table but very friendly. And the food? One word. DELICIOUS First off, their chips and fresh salsa was so good. We tried the house made guacamole and it was so good. It had a hint of lime, fresh tomatoes, onions and a bit of a kick from fresh jalapeño. For lunch we had a few different things. The barbacoa street taco, the carnitas street taco, and Al pastor street tacos were very good and authentic. My boyfriend had a chorizo Street taco with crema and I tried the carne asada gordita. Both were very good! The only thing that could have made them better is if the tortillas were made in house. We finished our meal with an order of traditional churros. They were crispy, sweet and so delicious. The perfect end to a great impromptu lunch. This was our first time here, but it won't be our last! I highly recommend this little gem.
