The food here is awesome! I would say I'm a regular I've eaten from here more than 4 times and it's Pretty authentic. This place reminds me of California, even the little market.
BTW this restaurant is INSIDE the Mexican food market. You can find great Mexican and International Latin spices and items here, which is amazing as a Latina.
I usually get the 4 Tacos De Birria Y Consome and an extra taco like Al Pastor or Carnitas.
I tried the Taco De Lengua (beef tongue) once since the food is good. The meat was very tender but it was lacking seasoning and flavor especially compared to the Birria Tacos.
The food is usually good and I always forget to take Pictures! Will update with pictures one day... :)
FYI I speak Spanish so it makes it much easier to communicate with the staff.

Found this little gem after having driving all day. The food was fantastic and the portion sizes were great!

So this spot is across from the Hyatt and was a quick food option. I walked in, expecting a small restaurant and got a small grocery store or Bodega. They had fruit, fresh meat, and canned foods. I asked for tacos, and they directed me to the back. I was unsure but continued to the back and found the small restaurant that I was expecting. I was met by someone who was working in the front. Half in the room half in the kitchen, she asked what I wanted and retreated in the kitchen. I immediately heard the grill sizzling and waited for about 2 whole minutes, and she appeared with my order and receipt. I was shocked it came so fast. Not expecting much, I took the food back to the room. It was very tasty. Fresh ingredients and tasty sauce. I will order here before I go.

The food was good, took a little time to come out but the taste was great and the prices are good.

You will have to follow hand written signs to the restaurant in the back which is always manned by the moodiest teenager. God I love this place.
Food is great, service is terrible. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Love the fajitas.

Discovered this gem while headed to another Mexican restaurant, which was closed when we arrived. I was like "Now what?"
Well I didn't have to walk far, the adjacent building was Cinco Dr Mayo Dos. First off, this is NOT TexMex yuppie fair. Jarritos and flan usually is a good sign.
This was followed by hand made chips and a delicious fresh salsa. The sight of tamales made my foodie heart leap. Real handmade tamales wrapped in corn husks. Delicious.
My companion ordered the first item on the menu. A $5 appetizer of refried beans wrapped in a crisp but light corn tortillas. (Kind of like a corn version of a frijoles chimichanga), that arrived as three covered in toppings. The appetizer easily qualified as an entree.
I ordered a tamale (which I saved and took home) and two tacos ala carte (one barbacoa beef and one carnitas enchilada - spiced pork). Both were good, the latter was amazing.
But here is where they hit my expectations out of the park. Not only were both taxcos large, but they came in amazing handmade tortillas. I was unprepared for the presentation of my two ala carte tacos. They arrived presented with a side of grilled vegetables (tender whole green onions and strips of cactus)b fresh cucumbers, and plenty of lime. Accompanied by two fresh made hot sauces.
All in all this gem was an exciting surprise. I definitely plan to return again, and again, and again. =)

Came in to pick up some groceries and found a restaurant in the back! Really good food, but sparse service.

Don't be put off by the store front or the entryway. This place looks like a grocery store, but if you walk inside and wine your way through a couple of turns you will find a small but comfortable dining area.
I ordered the three grilled chicken, Polo Asado, tacos. They were fantastic. Simple but tasty. Loaded with grilled white meat chicken. On the side there were juicy, fresh limes and grilled peppers.
The chips and salsa were outstanding too.
Service was fast and friendly.
Only complaint, they rolled out a mop bucket filled with a very strong smelling cleaner right in the middle of my meal. It took about 10 minutes for the smell to dissipate.

But to end on a good note, I walked out stuffed to the gills and satisfied. And the price was less than $10.

Very good selection of dried chiles and other pantry items at a fraction of the cost of Amazon etc. The store was super clean and the produce, cheese, and meats looked fresh and beautiful. We (the kids and I) found the restaurant in the back and ordered tacos to go. The carnitas and pollo asado were fantastic! Great green salsa and a red salsa hot enough to satisfy even the most seasoned heat freak, full of flavor and a good hot kick! Worth the trip, especially if you live or work in the neighborhood

This is an authentic Mexican street-food place. Their ingredients are fresh and clean and really close to the ones they use in Mexico. If you are looking for burritos, nachos, quesadillas (the ones with yellow cheese), or chips and salsa you will be disappointed.
Prices are fair, and the mixtures of flavors is just amazing. I've been there a couple of times with my friends from all over the world and all of them had a positive experience. Go with an open mind and try new things you will certainly love it!

Amazing little hole in the wall. Excellent burritos and street tacos. 10/10 recommend

Nice little Mexican grocery in the Fells / Harbor East area. I went in looking for a special type of Tamarind candy. I eventually found it, but the staff couldn't understand what I was looking for due to a language barrier between us. Still, great selection of Mexican sodas and treats.

My family is from Mexico and Ive spent many summers there... This is the only place in Maryland that I trust or that I'm willing to say is authentic Mexican food. I use to live in Patterson park and have tolerated other places like Tijuana tacos, but not anymore. Thanks to Cinco de Mayo I can finally get my taco fix. Thou, people should understand this food is authentic, not Tex mex, or Taco Bell!

Truly a hole in the wall - the grocery store spans two rowhouses with a secret Mexican restaurant tucked in the back. It's not fancy (one server, a handful of tables, and a single case fridge of drinks) but you won't care when you have your food in front of you. They make all the right choices with burritos: seasoned rice with diced veggies, stretchy queso fundido, and any one of the delicious meats they make in store. (It's also a butcher!) You can get nopales and, occasionally, huiltacoche quesadillas (a must try if they're available). Seriously underrated - be the first to impress your friends with "this little place I know..."

Decided to go here on a whim, after passing it up numerous times. The food was AMAZING! I ordered pollo y chorizo tacos upon request. Not on the menu and the portions were huge and satisfying. My husband ordered a burrito and took half home! The homemade chips were awesome. I didn't go home hungry. Our waitress was very nice and spoke enough English to understand my request. I highly recommend stopping here next time you're in the area. It is truly authentic Mexican food.
