Pitaya Mexican Restaurant

I have driven by this establishment for years. I recently heard some good things about the restaurant and decided to find out for myself.This is a very quaint comfortable environment with about 15 tables. I soon as we walked in, we were taken care of. We were going to order take out but decided to dine in.We ordered the Nachos and Chicken/Chorizo off the lunch menu. The Nachos were loaded with chicken and beef. Large portion and very well-seasoned. Great choice and enough for 3 people.The Chicken/Chorizo or Chori Polo was the best I have ever had, and I have been to Great Mexican cuisine restaurants all over the US. The chicken was so tender I could cut it with my fork, the Mexican crema with Oaxaca cheese (i assume) was done to perfection. (This means it was a creamy consistency and did not cause the Chorizo and chicken to stick together). The Chorizo was the best I ever had. Not salty and very tender, perfectly prepared. This authentic Mexican dish passed the test for true high quality Mexican cuisine.Outstanding service and a very nice wait staff. This will be my go-to Mexican restaurant.Very Good- price/value relationship!

Update to my previous review:They got their liquor license and their margaritas are soooo good. The pink one (I think dragonfruit?) is amazing.

I cant get enough of the food i wish i been knew this place was here a while back i love the birria tacos and the enchiladas are pretty good but i could order 20 tacos i cant resist

My daughter and I visited last Saturday and we had a great experience. We tried the ceviche, flautas , fajitas Del Mar and Street tacos (beef, pork and chicken). The flavors were good, large portion sized, and ingredients were fresh. The customer service was great with friendly waitress and the chef was pleasant to speak as we sat across from the kitchen. It is on the pricey side but we were being greedy so you pay extra for big appetites .Will visit again

This restaurant was very good. The food was tasty and authentic. The waitress gave some recommendations and I decided on huevos rancheros. I will definitely come back and get that dish again. The restaurant was clean and quiet. It doesn't look as big on the outside but it has a decent amount of seating. The margarita was good and not filled with an excessive amount of ice. I plan on coming back to try another dish.

The food was delicious - Had a very yummy meal with GREAT service (thanks Karen!) at Pitaya Mexican Restaurant in Severna park. Husband had the Tlayuda with beef and I had pork tamales. We'll definitely be back. Karen was funny and personable- loved her!

Unassuming restaurant but great food, very clean, and the staff was nice! Food portions are large!

The service here is excellent and it's actually a really comfortable place to eat in terms of music and cleanliness. I'd honestly give this place a 3.5 rating, but my partner really didn't like the chicken tacos as they were rather plain and not particularly seasoned. The Tacos de Birras were decent, but I think the big thing is that I've had better. If a friend asked me to go here again, I would, but I don't think I would go of my own volition. Perhaps I'll give them another shot later as the service was quite good..

Fresh food, friendly service. We had fagitas and fajita tacos. Really Nice remodel and really pretty look. This place is a gem! Owners take pride !

My wife & I just had lunch at Pitaya - in a word AWESOME. My wife had the Enchilada Suizas which was tasty and filling (took the 2nd of 2 enchiladas home). I had the Taco de Birria - DELICIOUS. Two tacos were quite filling, and it came with a dipping sauce that was fantastic.They did a nice job renovating - place was open and appealing. Our server was excellent, and the Manager (at least I think he was) asked us several times how our meal / experience was. We will definitely come back.
