There are many choices in Baltimore City for "Mexican" according signs, websites and even menus but where is the real deal? Truth is in Baltimore, we have more from Central American countries then we do Mexico. However, each area restaurant has its specialty worth exploring. Baltimore does have some very good, authentic Mexican dishes throughout the city you just have to know where to look.
Below I will try my best to keep you a detailed list of what to try where.
La Tortilleria Sinaloa - 1716 Eastern Ave.
Best Fresh Homemade Corn Tortillas- Real Deal!
Open 7 days/week, 7am, closes at 6pm accept for Friday & Saturday
(410) 276-3741
Both English & Spanish are spoken. Owners are native to B-more but the staff is from Sinaloa, Mexico (west coast) and they are the magic behind the menu!

Do not be offended by the loud, squeaking piece of machinery behind the counter. This monstrosity cranks out the tortillas steadily everyday.
Known for their tacos which are accompanied by lime wedges, avocado sauce, and salsa (hot- very hot)
Counter seating - less than 8 people total but when you are bellying up to enjoy 3 tacos you don't need a ton of room.
Kilo of fresh, warm tortillas are $1.90
You can purchase their taco meats (Barbacoa, Chicken, Steak, Pork, Tongue etc...) ~$14-16.00/lb.
Cash & Credit accepted.
La Guadalupana Restaurante y Tienda
500 South Wolfe Street, corner of Eastern Ave.
Baltimore, MD 21231-3008
(410) 276-2700Spanish speaking, some English. Recently underwent a face lift inside and out.
Grocery and Restaurant!
When dining in - try the Torta! One of the best in town and served on the authentic roll from Ramos panaderia y pasteleria next door. Yes, you can buy sweets & savory baked goods here.
Looking for special Mexican or general Latin ingredients - this is your place from plantains to cheeses.
Los Mariachis - 3233 Eastern Ave. (410) 522-0266
Open 7 days/week.
Small establishment, sit down or carry out. Family run. Huge Menu with English "loose" translations. Staff does not speak fluent English- my kinda of joint! Average menu price $7-10.00
The influence here is of Puebla - not many in Bmore can say that. Therefore, you are going to want to try the
Chilaquiles, Pozole, Sopes and Huaraches.
If you have never tried Huaraches - highly recommend it - very simple dish but better than pizza to me. I wish I could have these while watching Sunday football!
It is a thin doughy base much like a sope dough (think pita like consistency) but shaped like a large shoe -hence the name. It is grilled on a flat top and then topped with shredded lettuce, the infamous white cheese, crema, and meat of your choice- chicken is quite good or no meat at all.
Make sure no matter what you order you ask for the "red" and "green" sauce- giant squeeze bottles will appear at your table and you will be pleased! These homemade salsas are medium and hot respectively. Smooth in texture, cool in temperature and add just the right amount of depth to any dish.
