Mother’s Cantina has been Ocean City’s local favorite for tacos, margaritas, happy hour, and late-night bites for more than 15 years. With scratch-made Tex-Mex, fresh-juice margaritas, and welcoming beach-town hospitality, we’re the place where locals eat, drink, and gather all year long.

Founded in 2008 by Neely and Ryan James, Mother’s Cantina began as a small, family-run spot serving fresh, authentically made Tex-Mex in Ocean City. Today, we continue that tradition with the same dedication to bold flavors, handmade tortillas, and the welcoming vibe that started it all.

From hand-pressed tortillas and sizzling fajitas to seafood tacos inspired by the coast, everything at Mother’s Cantina is made fresh daily. Our house-blended margaritas use real citrus juice — no mixes — making them a local favorite across Ocean City.
