“All of the empanadas are FIRE ? (as in good) even the veggie one was delicious and I’m a huge meat eater. The flavors make them some of the best I’ve ever had! We got some extras to go and Jay informed me to reheat them in the air fryer and they’re just as good as fresh made, seriously ! The staff is also so welcoming, kind, and helpful with making decisions right for you and your hunger. I hope they open up more locations in the DMV, they definitely need one in VA.“
“Lovely little spot. Service was an 11/10. We got the meatballs and empanadas to start. Those were all very good. We got the ravioli for an entree. It tasted phenomenal, though I felt the cook on it was a bit under. We also got a side of brussel sprouts, they also tasted amazing, but I personally like them a bit more crispy. All told the food was great even if I could find a few small details to nit pick.“
“This has to be one of the best places in the area for some amazing Peruvian chicken. My family and I had the family combo which is enough for a family of 6 easy. The food is great, flavors are spot on but for anyone who is not familiar with Peruvian mash potatoes these are not your typical mash potatoes, but they are great. They have an excellent choice of sides and they were all great. Anyone stopping by who loves flan must try their flan. The music and the decor was also incredible and really nostalgic.“
“Searching for rotisserie chicken in Baltimore to add to a salad, stumbled upon this place. Let's just say the salad was quickly forgotten when I saw the food options here.The chicken was incredible, perfectly seasoned and tender. After smelling it my whole ride home, I couldn't wait another second to eat it and had a few pieces over the sink with my hands like a rat before I calmed down enough to put some on a plate and eat it. Plantains and rice were incredible, I want to try all the sides.The green sauce is good enough to drink.“
“We walked in not really knowing what to expect and left after having the most delicious meal in a good long while. Not knowing much about Latin American cuisine, we stayed with familiar dishes, steak and chicken fajitas. The portions were generous and were accompanied by yummy rice, Pico de Gallo and guacamole. And the chips and salsa - the best. Everything was fresh and cooked to order, so be patient and you will be rewarded. It also must be mentioned that our tab came to $20 a person including tax and tip! The atmosphere is bright and cheerful, very clean. Our server was a lovely young woman who patiently endured with our terrible Spanish with a smile.“
“On the hill is my favorite coffee shop in Baltimore. Food & drinks are consistently good and reasonably priced. You can't beat $6.50 for a bacon egg & cheese bagel. They have online ordering which makes it super convenient to order coffee on my way to work. They also have those cane sugar sodas on draft which are so good if you are going on a coffee break, I don't know where else you can get a fountain cream soda.“
“I ♡ El Habanero!The location is a food truck parked at the Carroll Motor Fuels gas station at the intersection of Eastern Ave and Kane St. They no longer have a menu on the truck and now only serve tacos, which are super delicious and incredibly affordable.The kind man told us that they served beef, pork, and chicken tacos, so we got one of each meat - 3 tacos for $10 flat. BRING CASH. The kind people working also don't really speak any English, but the transaction and service was very simple and fast regardless. I am definitely going to go back whenever I get gas again (also, the gas at this station is usually the lowest on this street as well. Very convenient!)The taste of the tacos were very fresh, the salsas are strong and spicy and accent the cilantro and onions very well, all over a slightly chewy soft corn tortilla. 3 tacos is a perfect portion, but if you're really hungry, I would say go for 4. My favorite was definitely the beef taco.Kid-friendliness: Well, I don't think they have a mean bone in their bodies.Parking: You can just park in the gas station for a few minutes, it's fine. If you're really worried or the gas station is busy, you can just park at the nearby Wendy's or Home Depot and just walk literally one minute. You don't have to pay for parking here.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space for wheelchairs, however, do note that it IS a food truck, so you might have to speak up.“
“We are new here and went to Baltimore for another restaurant that decided to close from 3:30-4:30p, and we got there right before 3:30p we decided to walk around and look for another place to eat & this was the first sign we saw that had food & cocktails. When we looked it up to see the food menu, we were pleasantly surprised to find they served Peruvian food. Being that I am married to a Peruvian man, we can be a bit skeptical and quite picky as to what is considered "authentic. This place did NOT disappoint. We ordered the Papa a la huancaína which was delicious. It's not on the menu but if you ask for it, they will serve it. We ordered the Chaufa & the Lomo Saltado, jalea, The Saltado had a lot of steak and it was tender and flavorful. They made the best huancaina outside of when we make it @ home, and the chaufa & jalea were perfect. The portions are a good size, we shared most amongst 4, and their prices are quite reasonable for the portions and quality. Can't wait to take my MIL when she comes to visit in 2 weeks.“
“Absolutely spectacular - I haven't had chilequiles this good since my trip to Mexico City, and I get them as often as I can. The tepache suave was delicious and went perfectly. Beans and rice were perfection.I genuinely might go back tonight.Vegetarian options: All the Mexican classic vegetarian options were available, and would be a spectacular choice“
“Amazing food, people, and vibes! Our server, Anthony, was incredibly personable and gave us top-notch service catering to our every request and inquiry. He was very kind and jovial and knew exactly how to match our energy!! Also the carne asada and crunchy mahi mahi tacos were to die for.“
“I have gone to this place first for the pupusas, then for the pollo con tajadas, and each time I have never been disappointed, on the flavor, the portion size, or the nice size of the pupusas, the staff that works there, is very nice, professional, attentive and respectful, the place before and now more in the middle of the pandemic is very well-maintained, always clean.Will always recommend and comeback time and time again.The only downside is parking, well you can not blame anyone, because this restaurant is smack in the middle of the block on the busy Eastern ave.... but it's WORTH IT!!“
“Lunch was delicious, short rib tacos were full of flavor and served with beans. Other people at our table had one of the salads and another taco option and they said the food was excellent. The waitress misunderstood me when I said that I would like to take away and she disposed of my food - be specific.“
“I thought that their empanadas were wonderful. They offer a wide variety of flavors (the chorizo potato was my favorite!), and they were all hits. Very filling, and they don’t skimp on the meat. I visited during a pretty slow period (weekday afternoon) and the staff was very kind and wore gloves when handling my food. They also have Mexican Coke and other not-often-seen drinks for sale. Will visit again!Also: pertaining to their name (which seemed to have made a few people mad), I agree that Baltimore is its own thing apart from DC, but this empanada place also has a primary location in Gaithersburg, which is squarely in the DMV.“
“Amazing food and service. Our waiter, Niko, was very attentive and pleasant, and all of our dishes came out fresh and in a timely manner. Love the overall atmosphere, too; definitely a place that invites you to linger longer.My only complaint is that the cocktails could use some tweaking. The Vieja Escuela was far too smokey, and it obscured any subtle flavors from the rum/rye/other ingredients.“
