20 minute wait for 6- not bad. Great authentic Tex-Mex. Family owned and operated, nice people. Service was good with special attention to kids - made family dinner less stressful than normal. Bar with big comfortable booths and large TVs for sports. Watched Ravens football here. Go Baltimore!

Great place for food. Reasonably priced and huge menu, they serve food until late. A locals secret. Fantastic steamed shrimp and French Dips. No wait staff, but the bartenders are as nice as can be. The place to be.

Mother's Cantina has great, fresh Tex-Mex. Kid friendly during the day and party friendly at night. Family business with great atmosphere and lots of care put into the menu and food. Not to mention great happy hour specials and drinks! And some of the only good late night food in Ocean City, till 1 am.
