    Carne Asada Taco Trio    Carne Asada Taco  Order of Three Tacos

    Great service, and amazing food! Food Made quickly and right behind the counter so you can see it being freshly made.

    Quesadilla
    Zenia B.

    I really wanted to LOVE this food because of the reviews, but I was sadly mistaken. The server/cook was very pleasant. Took my order and kindly asked for 10 minutes. I wanted onions and peppers on my quesadilla, but it doesn't come with it. I then asked the young lady what does the fajita and tacos come with, and she explained. After listening to the ingredients, I asked if I could pay extra for the onions and peppers to be added to my quesadilla. The young lady agreed. I left and came back 10 minutes later and my food was fresh and ready. I was so excited. I got to the car, in which I bit into a soggy and rubbery quesadilla because the liquid from the sauce spilled in the container. The actual tortilla was awful. It was rubbery and flavorless and hard to digest and wasn't really grilled like other quesadillas I've had. The meat wasn't seasoned well, and the cheese was rubbery and lacked flavor. The chips were hard with no sauce. The best thing about the experience was her being kind. The food was definitely not something I'd ever try again, but I would recommend other people try it and form their own opinion.

    Visiting from California. Felt like tacos after a disappointing Italian outing. This place is Legit! did not disappoint. Tacos are a regular size. Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus) was delicious & well made! The red spicy salsa was perfectly spicy! Green salsa was tasty too. Recommend! ( All food is To Go.)

    Everyone talks about it here non-stop because everyone (whether rightfully or not) has an opinion of where to find the best tacos are in the city. So I stopped here one afternoon with my SO. He ordered three of the meat tacos (I don't remember which ones) and I ordered the veggie burrito. He clarified that they were indeed authentically good because they used two tortilla soft shells instead of one. Although he did say they were lacking in the sauce. You can purchase sour cream, hot sauce, and what not on the side which could have easily fixed that. The veggie burrito was a hella better than I anticipated it being. It was well seasoned and I'd gladly get it again. It's the size of a stomach so best to eat only a half at a a time. I'd recommend getting the food to go. The ambiance is non-existent and people come here just for the food and the Mexican coca colas. Walk a few blocks south and enjoy the food at Patterson Park. My only complaint is that they use styrofoam to package everything. If they found something more sustainable or even recyclable I would be so much more pleased.

    If I could, I'll give 10 So happy I found a place to eat AUTHENTIC mexican food, I will definitely take the drive here to eat. If you really want to try authentic quesadillas, tacos the way it supposed to taste, spicy salsa if you are into to give an extra kick to your meal. I'm beyond excited to to show you why this place took 5 star reviews: Al pastor tacos: comes with 2 tortillas, chopped onion and cilantro Tacos: chopped onion and cilantro, lime, nopal, spring onion, radish and cucumber Quesadillas: completely freshly made, corn long tortilla and the best thing is that in 7 years I've been living in MD is the first time I found huitlacoche which Mexican caviar Home made chips, even though they were colder than most places, the fact this ones are made here took an extra star. The fresh flavored water did not disappoints either, I had horchata and I'm crazy picky about this, I can tell when is from the bottle and when is made at the place. No, they don't serve vegan No, it's not a hipster place No, it's not TexMex No, don't come looking for a fancy spot No, don't ask for wifi No, is not that big.

    A hole in the wall for great Mexican food! A fellow yelper recommended this place and my friends and I came after a yelp event. I ordered the chicken enchilada with green sauce that came with a side of rice and black beans and my mouth exploded with flavors. So delicious is all I can say. I tried a bit of my friends Horchata drink and that was the best version I've ever tasted. It was not too sweet. The tres leche cake was amazing. Overall a great place for great food. Can't say more.

    Food is delicious! I am never disappointed with this place. It's the best Mexican food spot in Baltimore. The tacos are amazing and a must!

    Tacos de Cabeza

    Typical Hispanic small restaurant. There is zero atmosphere. It's messy and somewhat unclean appearing. I ordered the tacos de cabeza. The meat was super fatty without much acidity. This made for an unbalanced flavor profile. While the meat was tender, I quickly grew tired of the heaviness of the beef fat in the tacos. The tortillas are mediocre. I found the corn tortillas to be gritty. There aren't many great places in this area. Tijuana had decent execution with poor flavor and texture balancing.

    This is the greatest Mexican food in Bmore. It's a order to-go kind of place. I've had the chicken tacos, chicken burrito, horchata, and the tres leches cake. OMG, this place is authentic and the food is delicious. The horchata is made the right way, and the tres leches cake isn't dry- it's always moist. The chicken tacos and burrito are great as well. The red sauce is the hottest and the best sauce. They speak minimal English, but can understand an order over the phone. You gotta try the food. Attached is the menu.

    Tijuana Tacos 3 specializes in more than just delightful tacos. They also offer variety of Mexican delicacies, my favorite of which are their Chilaquiles. Chilaquiles are essentially layers upon layers of corn tortillas and queso with a sauce of your choice (I always go green) and finally, topped with two eggs - it's a wonderfully comforting and warm brunch/lunch. I always pair my order of Chilaquiles with one of Tijuana Tacos' freshly made ricas aguas. They have an extensive list to choose from and I've sampled most of them, you really can't go wrong. I am particularly fond of the cantaloupe or melon. Not overly sweet and perfect to wash a meal down. Another menu favorite is the Torta (essentially a massive sandwich stuffed with a protein of your choice plus beans, cheese, avocados, peppers, etc). Regardless of what you order, the portions are large (I can always can make two meals from one entree). With respect to pickup/take out - the staff is consistently friendly as well as masked and gloved. You can tell safety is a priority as there is signage indicating masks are required and social distancing of 6 ft is requested. Our takeout order is always made on time/quickly. This place has been a go-to for us during quarantine (it's dangerously convenient to my home).

    Tacos Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, and Al Pastor, with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Price to quality ratio was great, highly recommend!

    Came to check out this place at the recommendation of a friend after an afternoon in Patterson Park. I got Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, and Al Pastor for 10.50$, with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Price to quality ratio was great, highly recommend!

Each taco is extremely fresh and I can tell that it was crafted meticulously in the kitchen. Be mindful that each taco is priced separately and you get a single taco ranging from $10.00 - 15.00. The guacamole is fresh and garnished with strawberries. Personally, I typically go for a spicier and more flavorful guac, but if you opt for a fresh and simple dish, then it certainly checks the box. The queso is thick, cheesy, and topped with peppers. I personally could appreciate a creamier queso, but I will say the dish looks and smells amazing. The oysters are rather small in size but they're extremely fresh and come topped with a jalapeño. My expectations for the drinks were a bit higher than what they delivered. Drinks tasted a bit watery and the flavor wasn't as potent (this says a lot for someone like myself who is pretty light weight). Service was fairly accommodating, however, keep in mind that they enforce a rule of having half of your party there prior to seating you. Also be mindful that their menu changes to dinner at 5:00PM, and seating at the outside bar may be closed depending on when you arrive. My favorite of all the dishes was the was the Al Pastor taco! I'd like to give this place another try because just based off of the aesthetic alone it has sooo much potential to be absolutely amazing!
