The dining room is pretty small so if they are busy you may have a long wait. Luckily when we went they were not too busy so we got sat right away. The food was adequate but nothing special. Depending what you get they can be a little pricey but they do have some reasonably priced food. I may or... More

I am vegan and always on the lookout for vegan friendly places when traveling. I don't expect tons here in Ocean City so it's nice to find a pace like this. I really like mexican food so after getting this recommendation from the folks at my hotel I had to stop by for dinner. I was there in early May... More

Great food, value and service. We usually come to O.C. for crabs but now we'll look forward to mexican food, too. Outstanding!

We were in OC over Easter weekend to attend a job fair. After spending a few hours at Ocean Downs and then taking a walk on the boardwalk, we went to Mother’s Cantina for a few drinks and appetizers. Mother’s is conveniently located. We were able to walk there from our hotel. It is a great atmosphere for a bar.... More

Mother's Cantina may be the best Mexican fare, I've ever had. The food was amazingly delicious, tasty and very filling. I strongly recommend to anyone that likes Mexican food and will be visiting Ocean City or a surrounding area, to stop by Mother's. Go hungr and ready to eat....because you will want to lick your plate clean by the end... More

I love coming here for their happy hour from 4-7pm. $1 tacos, $1.50 domestic drafts, and $3.50 margaritas- can't beat it! Cool atmosphere too. Small, so can get busy quickly but I've never had a problem of a long wait here.

Mother's Cantina Ocean City Maryland - we were warmly greeted by 'Sam'. During Happy Hour, we had nice $3 margaritas made by 'Sam' which were not watered down a bit, and $1 tacos. Our second round was made by someone else which was good, but not like Sam's. On the down side, arcade games were annoying but noise lasted only... More
