A popular Mexican restaurant in the Berwyn neighborhood of College Park has expanded.

Tacos a la Madre, which opened a sit-down restaurant on Berwyn Road in 2021 and is a favorite in the Hyattsville Wire reader poll, has added a second location in Beltsville.

The new location is at 11623 Beltsville Dr., not far from Interstate 95 in the Calverton area. Chief Operating Officer Herson Romero told the Hyattsville Wire that they were impressed by the revitalization of the area and the potential for growth.

“We were super excited to be given the opportunity to be a part of it,” he said.

The interior of the taqueria was dramatically redesigned for a more modern look by local architect Christian Romero, a recent graduate of the University of Maryland.

The new restaurant is a big step for the family-owned restaurant, which got its start working from home in 2020 and then at a temporary location at a Holiday Inn before moving to Berwyn.

The menu includes a number of traditional tacos made with ingredients such as beef tongue, chorizo and carne asada as well as new twists such as a mushrooms, fried zucchini and crab cakes. A customer favorite are its shrimp tacos, which were named among the 25 best in the U.S. by a national website.
