Tacos Hernandez

From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly and very attentive. For the food, every single bite was packed with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh, the seasoning was on point, and the textures were perfect! Honestly, it's one of the best authentic taco spots I've been to in the area, hands down. Highly recommend!

My sister took me to Tacos Hernandez for Mother’s Day. The beef tongue tacos were amazing. Cooked perfectly. My sister has never tried them before and loved it. I also got a chicken taco. Those were so good. Some of the best tacos I’ve had in a long time. You can tell they put love in their cooking.

My teenager loves this place and wanted to write a review as this is her go-to place. We love that it’s a local family business and they make you feel like family. We try something new every time but the chicken tacos are a family favorite! Taco Hernandes has life changing tacos. From the first bite to the last, it tastes like heaven. Absolutely amazing. If I could give more than 5 stars I totally would. This changed my life forever. I can never go back to regular tacos after this.

The food was so good I ordered takeout after I finished what was on my plate. I look forward to going here again. The dining area is smaller so if you have a large group I would order to go.

We stopped here after a baseball game and do not regret it! First time customers but definitely won’t be our last. We loved every taco we ate!

The tacos were super flavorful, I would go definitely be going back and recommend it to anyone visiting town.

The food here is incredible. Me and my friend shared a pizza birria and we were stuffed by the end. Its a little pricy but its all worth it

I greeted warmly like family the moment I stepped in the door! I was fortunate to be able to try their special beef tacos, and it was to die for! It was a truly unforgettable food experiences from the flavor to the atmosphere, it was excellent all around!

Was looking for some tacos to-go for Taco Tuesday. Found Tacos Hernandez on Google Maps, so gave it a try. It's not a sit-down restaurant with table service, like Plaza Azteca or Plaza Tolteca, but more "hole-in-the-wall". If you're on the west coast, I'd compare it to Roberto's. The food was good, about what you'd expect from a hole-in-the-wall type of place. The carne asada taco was just right with the size and amount of meat. The chicken tamale was good, but felt like there was a lot more masa than meat. I'm sure every abuela's family recipe is a little different, but I'm used to thinner dough and more meat. Overall a good place to get a quick Mexican fix.

Best birria tacos! It's just a little stop along Great Mills. It does have indoor seating but we got ours to go on the way to explore lighthouses. The owner is very nice. We enjoyed discussing all things Mexico. Food is very authentic with handmade tortillas.

We saw Tacos Hernandez while in the area, and we knew we had to stop by due to their awesome signage! Their menu offers a standard menu, as well as their house specialties and breakfast items. We ordered: +Quesabirria - comes with 3; the meat itself could have been a bit more juicy, as it was slightly dried out; the consommé was delicious and a great complement +Tacos - we ordered 2 pollo tacos and 2 carne asada tacos; the shredded chicken tacos were forgettable, and we weren't really fans; the star of the show, however, were the carne asada tacos - these chunks of meat were marinated and seasoned very well, and were savory and delicious; there were some chunks with some fat, which the hubs loved; the handmade tortillas were great +a mango juice - freshly prepared, it seems, as it seemed literally 100% juice of a mango; not too sweet either We'd love to try their breakfast or their regular burritos next time, and we're hoping that horchata will be available on the next visit! This is definitely a family -owned and -run business; the staff were super sweet, kind, and welcoming! The restaurant is small and cozy, with a handful of seating. Finding such a cute little authentic Mexican spot in such a random area was a pleasant surprise! Plenty of parking available. +tasty carne asada! +friendly & kind staff and service +parking available

Food is meh. Service is ok. It's clean , small and good if you are by yourself or with a small group. Best if take out.

I have been meaning to try this since they opened and I had the opportunity to head over there a couple weeks ago. I ordered the al pastor torta. It was delicious. In retrospect I should've eaten it fresh right there in the restaurant but I took it home a short drive away. By then the bread was soggy but I just engorged in it like that kid with the chocolate cake in the 90s movie Matilda.

Great food and very friendly and helpful staff! Food was authentic and the habanero hot sauce was excellent with it.

I am new to the area and found this place scrolling around a map looking for lunch. We got tacos, guacamole and a side of rice and beans. We also got all 3 of their hot sauces on the side. Everything was delicious. My hubs did prefer the chicken and pork over the asada taco which he thought was too chewy and fatty. The tortillas are thick corn tortillas so no tearing apart when you try to eat them! Authentic places like this are hard to find in St. Mary's. They also have vegan soy meat available and it was tasty- so bring anyone! We will absolutely return for takeout and maybe add photos of food... we scarfed it down too quickly

It's rare to find legit Mexican in the DMV. To find it in southern Maryland was a surprise. The carnitas and carne asada were California good and the portions were good. Service was decent. Totally what you would expect from a little joint. The atmosphere is a step or two above a home in the wall.... totally what you want for a taco/burrito shop. Definitely worth checking out.

If you're looking for a flavor.. Friendly owners and a meal that won't break the bank.. you need to eat here!!! I had 2 Tostadas- Pastor and Chorizo:). Both were fantastic! Crispy flat corn shell loaded I mean loaded with beans, lettuce , tomatoes, feta cheese, meats and their own sauce's:). Seriously with a tip only $15. I will be back.. Hope to see the place packed the next time I go..

Ok food. Limited selection. No condiments on meals or individual tacos. Everything: avocado sour cream is extra Lower score about condiments

Came towards closing but the staff was pleasant and food made to order and came out pretty quick. Small place with 5 tables but clean and quiet. We enjoyed Barilla tacos with delicious flavor and consommé and tostados with pastor and chorizo accompanied by homemade sauces. Enjoyed!!

How does this place not have more reviews and more stars?!?! Up to the area on another trip to Pax River needing someplace to eat and always on the lookout for getting Mexican food thought I would give Tacos Hernandez my business today! I am so happy I did, outstanding customer service, a small place very quaint and authentic! The food was amazing -corn tortillas homemade- beans and rice -Carnitas tacos everything was delicious and could not ask for better!! Will be eating here on every trip to PAX!

Fabulous food and family and service. Great local find! Love the breakfast burritos.

Small place, Very good tacos and great breakfast burrito. I would recommend. Nice staff as well.

First place In SOMD that has authentic Mexican food. If you are from Texas or California your going to be happy. Birria was excellent and they have real salsas. I tried all four and they were so good I brought some home.

Quick service, walked in to find no one else in the dining area at noon. Ordered 3 tacos, reasonable price for street tacos and very delicious (carnitas, chorizo, and asada). It came with radish and cucumber slices on the side, just chopped onion and scallions on the tacos. I was given two small salsa cups, one red and one green, both creamy-style salsa rather than chunky. Not sure which was supposed to be "number 1" and "number 2" on a scale of 4, but I didn't find either of them very spicy (I'm used to it, so perhaps it is spicy for others). Both were tasty and matched different meats. I will be coming back with my fam!!

It's the only authentic Mexican place we've found nearby, they even have a vegan option. It is good!

Best Mexican food in the area. I have tried several dishes in this small restaurant and they have not disappointed. They have fresh home made tortillas that they serve with their dishes. Quesabirria was on point so was the Pozole. Their salsas are authentic just like the ones in street tacos in Mexico. You should try this place. You won't be disappointed.

Food was so tasty! This place is new and the owner was warm and personable and open to menu suggestions. We ordered elote, carne asada, tamales, and Burris. Everything was so authentic and flavorful, but the birria stole the show. We've been spoiled by so-cal Mexican food, but this will happily be one of our regular spots in SoMa!

We had really good tacos and Tamales. We had a quick break from our daughters back to school night and we found this close by. We will be back. Amazing food and super nice people.

Great tacos! The salsa is fiery so ask for mild if you cannot take the heat. It may look like mayo, but it's not! Simple family run restaurant.

The best food ever I would love to come back here anytime of the week. The burrito was so good.

Customer service was legit amazing! Super friendly staff with really tasty tacos. I do a lot of food testing and one thing I judge heavily on within an establishment is their tacos. Theirs are delicious! and I would 100% recommend them to a friend. Going again soon.

Amazing tacos and real tamales cooked in a corn husk. Also very clean. Super tiny inside so avoid lunchtime (11-1). Fairly broad menu - everything is delicious. Ambiance is cute and super simple, but who cares when the food is so good.

Staff is super friendly, and the food is awesome, I love Tortas, they are my favorites!

Soggy and gross. Had better Mexican food at taco bell. It's small inside with hardly any seating and smells. Service was slower than molasses.

Great authentic Mexican food! I love everything I've tried so far! Their sauces are also top notch!

The food was awesome and tasted great. It's a bit hole in the wall next to the trailer park, but really tasty food that hits the spot.

Friendly service and fantastic food. It's cozy but a very cool little place. No line, so we got our orders quickly and everything was great.

Authentic amazing Mexican cuisine. Friendly service. Owner always gives me new things to try and never disappoints.Two thumbs up!

Ordered Tamales, burrito bowl and fajitas. All flavor was excellent and portioned nicely. Recommend eating in with fajitas, or anything that should be served hot. Will try tacos next as I've heard they are excellent. Family owned and also great food truck that serves on Pax River base. Sorry didn't take photo, but will next time. I rate their food above any other Mexican in St Mary's county. It's a small place so don't expect large restaurant ambience, but service is fast and friendly.

I stopped by on a whim and I am so very glad I found this place. It is a hidden gem in St. Mary's county! The staff is very kind, and you can tell they genuinely care about their recipes and customer's experience with the food, especially Israel. I was also able to see/watch the fresh tamales be made too! I ordered the chicken tacos and was able to try the birria as well. The chicken has been the best I've tried around the county so far. I literally thought about these tacos days after I had them. The creamy salsa verde sauce is *chefs kiss* amazing. They make their corn tortillas in house, and you can tell they are fresh. You won't get your typical St. Mary's Americanized Mexican expierence here, and I think that's the beauty of Tacos Hernandez. They want to be authentically themselves and share it with St. Mary's. I left the restaurant excited about the food and experience I had, and I cannot wait to get those tacos again!

Tacos Hernandez was incredible! The carnitas burrito was the best burrito I've had in at least a decade. It deserved 10 stars.

I can't wait to visit once more.you know when you discover a little place that just has some fantastic food and great customer service, well here is one ofbthem. I stopped in for a few tacos and all of a sudden came out with a bag, the menu was just so fresh. Tamales and tacos yummy

I enjoy the food here, highly recommended, owner even offered other items to try. Place is sorta small but its a good area to mainly have food for take out

Recently moved to the area and drove past. Walked in the first time and was warmly greeted by the owner. The food was amazing and couldn't recommend it enough. He is always trying to make sure that the experience is everything you could ask for. If there was a 6th star I would give it to them 10/10.

The food was absolutely amazing the best taco I've had in the area. The service was amazing as well it was my first time there and person who helped me was very kind and was happy to put the cilantro on the side and let us try all the salsas. I got 6 tacos to try them all and I'm seriously thinking about going to get 6 more. I could not recommend this place more!!

Stopped by for the first time this afternoon for some quick tacos. They were delicious but the Mexican coffee was outstanding! The owners let us try some salsas he's developing too, both were very good & unique from other places around town. They were friendly & seem very proud of their buisness. I'll be coming back soon!

I have lived in this area for a very long time and Tacos Hernandez is hands down the best place to get authentic tacos. Flavors are great and the sauces even better. I rank it up there on my list with other great taco spots in DC and Baltimore.

Great staff and great authentic Mexican tacos. The food was very tasty and fresh!

This little "Hole-in-the-Wall" has amazing authentic Mexican food. The customer service is so friendly, and you can tell they place love and care in the food created. I went for lunch (Burrito) and came back later to buy dinner for home. When you find a hole-in-the-wall place like this, you are bound to experience good quality food. They make their own Tortillas!!!!! I am picking up fresh tamales for dinner tonight.

I had the tacos al pastor (the birria wasn't ready yet: can't wait to try). Ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. The accompanying sauces are wonderful: they have a bite and full flavor at the same time. Great customer service.
