Went here on a whim. The food was fantastic. The menu was a little hard to navigate but that was part of the fun. The Finksburg location has a second dining room with a very nice atmosphere. Modern, comfortable, decor and ambient lighting. Very festive. Was not expecting that in a slow strip mall. I was sad to see lack of customers on a Saturday evening because I want them to do well! Husband had 2 different types of tacos that were packed with meat. My daughter had the Birria tacos and they were also packed. I had the Huarche, chicken. The sauces were flavorful and the food beautiful and authentic. My lime mojito was delicious with very fresh ingredients and a beautiful flower garnish. Nice portions and very reasonable prices.

This place is FANTASTIC. Perfect little hole in the wall place with delicious, authentic food. I tried so many things I've never heard of before and everything was delicious. Although they only have beer, no liquor so no margaritas, it wasn't even messed with the delicious food we were eating.

really came across some delicious Mexican food during my travels! wanted a quick bite and Taqueria El Guacamole popped up on my map. menu looks extensive w all the traditional dishes. can't go wrong w any choices but I got the al pastor tacos & supreme burrito. the al pastor tacos were delicious! pieces of pineapples added an additional bold flavor to an already flavorful marinated pork. salsa verde & rojo were on point! rojo had a nice kick, too! the burrito came w seasoned, scrumptious fries! polished those off before even getting home. the burrito was huge and stuffed! will definitely be getting it again! overall highly recommended! the place was cleaned, vibrant, cozy. the gentleman was pleasant and helpful w the order. I'd gladly visit again and try different items!

This place is amazing! By far the best salsa I have ever had. Pablo was our server and he was excellent. Recommended my lunch and it was phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and stop in for some authentic Mexican cuisine.

Food was amazing. Music was very loud. We ate lunch there figuring on the holiday weekend, it would be slow. They had lots of people carrying out food, as well as eating in. Bring your appetites, large portions are great.

I don't give 5 star reviews, but Taqueria El Guacamole knocks its out of the park. How are we? So lucky to have them here? They hiding from the El Norteños? Did they cross the Sinaloa boys and now they have to hide in Maryland ? I don't know, but I have not had a torta Milanese sin the 90s. Sure I got flashbacks from my time in penitenciaria federal, but it is worth it for the homemade tortillas.

Easily the best taqueria in Maryland!!the tacos are huge,so full of what meat you prefer,the variety might not be so many but the quality is the best,the Mexican sandwich are big , the quesadilla is so big it’s a foot long roll full of goodness,the place is located in a simple building but clean ,serous friendly.If you want real Mexican food,this is the place.

The food here is amazing. If you are looking for a fancy Tex Mex restaurant where you get chips and salsa, this isn't your spot. If you're looking for a small hole in the wall with fantastic food this is your spot. I have only had the tacos and so far have not been disappointed. They are always stuffed with meat and have plenty of flavor. My first time I ordered 3, but now normally get 2 and am plenty full. Also every time I have been the person behind the counter speaks English and is always helpful

Don’t judge by the outside appearance, come in!... 🇲🇽 There is a checklist that must be met to make a restaurant “Authentic Mexican” and Taqueria El Guacamole passes with flying colors! The tacos here are the ‘Bomb-Digidy’! 😋 🌮 The owner brings them to you over-filled, not a skimpy serving at all. The sauces are delicious, not too spicy. I had the Tres Leches dessert which was also great 🍰 👍! The pricing is worth it without a doubt. Bilingual service too, always a plus. I will be back for sure!

I visited this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon, hoping to try "Pambazos" (picture) a traditional sandwich from the capital of Mexico. The restaurant was clean, and the service was excellent. However, the "Pambazo" did not seem to follow the authentic recipe. My girlfriend ordered tacos, which were very tasty.

The environment was good, except it was freezing inside. Winter is upon us so maybe the restaurant reflects the external temps?? The employees were fantastic!! Food was pretty good. The Birria tacos won the prize at the table!! Delicious! We also picked up some chicken and steak tacos. Both were good.

This location has gone overboard on the thematic decorations but the food and service were excellent. Years ago a Mexican friend told me to always go to the Mexican resteraunts that looked like a hole in the wall as they are more authentic and tastier foods. This rule always seemed correct untll my visit here. I had the steak which came with a fried slice of cactus, some fried onions, and a fried jalapeno. It was accompanied by rice, beans, a salad, and a chunk of cheese. There were corn tortillas too. It was all very tasty. I will definitely visit again and try a few other menu items. My drink was horcheta which was a little heavy on the cinnamon but was still quite refreshing. The prices are very reasonable for the quantity and taste of the food.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and now I can say been there, done that. It doesn't have the menu that you may be used to. A lot I didn't even understand or recognize. We did carry out. The one good thing that I can say is that you get a large meal for the cost. The problem is, it really wasn't that good. I am not running back anytime soon.

A bit different, don't expect your normal Mexican restaurant, no chips ,salsa or queso, no combination platters either. Food was good, presentation was very good. Just not what I was expecting,kinda hard to explain. Maybe a new take on a old classic ?

Unless you’re Latino you may not get good service. My wife and I felt like the service was second rate because we don’t speak Spanish. We had to ask for tortilla chips which is complimentary without asking. The dipping sauce was cold from the fridge and looked used. The food was ok. I had been here before with a Latino friend and the service was great. However, I won’t be going back… …ever.
