The tacos here are incredible. Outside of Mexico, I have never had better. The service is slow and they generally seem disinterested, but the quality of the food overcomes the general sloth of the millennial staff. If you are in a rush, probably not the best choice but definitely the best tacos on the East Coast.

The menu here is Two parts Tex-mex, one part Baja, one part classic bar food. During my visits here I tried grouper tenders, wings, fish and beef tacos. All done extremely well and fresh (didn't fall off a Sysco truck). Drinks were good with a lot of variety my only qualm is I wish the margaritas had a bit more tartness but that may be a personal preference. Service was great, the bartender Sam was cool and friendly , perfect for a spot like this with the added bonus of being a sight for sore eyes. I will also note that the ... read more

Mothers is my favorite place to eat and hang out with my friends during the winter months. I worked too much in the summer to visit this delicious place. Ryan and Neely work so hard to bring their customers the freshest and most delicious food and you can taste it in every single thing they cook. The staff are some of my most favorite servers in town. They genuinely care about your experience and satisfaction. I travel a lot and have had this type of food in many cities across the U.S. and Mothers Cantina is still my most fa... read more

As all of our friends and family can attest, we don't consider it a trip to OC unless we go to Mother's at least three times (but it's usually more like five or six in a seven day stay). The food: to die for; the drinks: can you say traditional margarita? - service: attentive and fun; the ambiance: locally sourced, Beard worthy cuisine wrapped in a beach/sports bar that doesn't take itself too seriously. We couldn't ask for more. The happy hour specials are simply second to none, but so are the fajitas. :) Do yourself a favo... read more

Ate there for the first time years ago and can't even count how many people I continue to send there when they ask for recommendations in OCMD. It's a small family owned restaurant and they make everything fresh (BEST homemade guacamole, salsa, tortillas - everything is delicious)! Seriously - Mother's is our FAVORITE restaurant (and we live in PA). Can't ever drive through or near Maryland without a "road trip" to Mothers! Still waiting for the delivery service to PA or at least a franchise??? Maybe online ordering??? Hint ... read more
