“Highly recommend this restaurant. The staff was phenomenal from the hostess to the bartender to the food servers and the chefs. The food was DELICIOUS!! Ordered the pulpo followed by the lasagna special and the most juiciest delicious steak I’ve ever eaten! Flavored and cooked to perfection. Definitely will be back.“

“I absolutely Love the atmosphere! A place for everyone to enjoy good company! The food is amazing! People are friendly!“

“A cute cafe in a very nice neighborhood. I got the egg sandwich with over easy eggs, sourdough, and pork sausage which tasted like what was in it — I wish the bread was toasted tho since it was pretty dry for me. The quesadilla was pretty good with crunchy crust and flavorful fillings. The chai was nice and warm, slightly sweet and the pomegranate lemonade was perfectly sour. We got a table outside and it was very nice. People came in and out constantly which proves that the place is pretty populate among locals.“

“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.“

“La comida es súper deliciosa a atención muy amables y el restaurante muy limpio y el personal de lo mejor“

“Taqueria y Pupuseria Bendicion De Dios is a casual Latin American spot on E Lombard St known for its Mexican and Salvadoran street-food flavors, especially its tacos and pupusas. The menu focuses on traditional comfort items like handmade pupusas with fillings like cheese, pork, and beans, served with curtido and salsa, as well as a variety of tacos and other hearty dishes that highlight fresh ingredients and bold seasonings.

What I appreciate about this place is its authentic, no-frills vibe — it feels like a friendly neighborhood taqueria where the emphasis is on real, satisfying flavors rather than fancy presentation. The tacos are simple but tasty, and the pupusas deliver that classic Salvadoran comfort-food texture and taste. It’s also a relatively affordable stop if you’re looking for a casual lunch or dinner with Latin American flair.

The service is generally friendly and welcoming, and the spot has a laid-back, local feel that makes it a good choice for grabbing a quick, flavorful bite without fuss. Overall, it’s a solid pick if you’re into authentic pupusas and street-style tacos in Baltimore“

“This became a staple during our trip to Maryland Deathfest this year. Ate there most of the week. Best everything I ever had. We tried all of the flavors of empanadas, the Peruvian chicken, rice, Mac n cheese, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but they had the best darn brussel sprouts I've ever had! Very friendly staff as well!“

“Amazing and delicious food! Authentic Ecuadorian cuisine 😋“

“Well I walked in to check out this place, because I used to go to Chicken Rico's on Eastern Avenue, And I'm I didn't want to go so far from my house. I was totally surprised. The young man who waited on me was very kind. I wanted to taste a little piece because he said ours is not like Chicken Rico's. Then he gave me a small piece to taste and I love it. The first day I got a happy chicken with two sides in the second day I got a quarter chicken with two sides. I'll be back again.“

“Delicious sizzling plates and the fish tacos were fantastic, thanks our server (Christen) was excellent he was delightfully nice!“

“Excellent service and food on this thanksgiving day ⭐️“

“So glad I made it in, very delicious llapingachos and maduros. Also tried my first non seafood encebollado and it was pretty good! A mean hot beef soup with yuca on a cold day! Will be back! Hopefully they've got the special soup for Pascua!“

“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!!“

“excelente todo lo recomiendo“

“Muy buena la comida 🥘 la parrillada“

“Good very good.............“

“My daughters lived in student housing at UMB down the street from the New Lexington Market. Out of all the establishments there, we choose to try Tio G's. The food is often the chain. It will be one of our regular spots. Also, they are being on giving back to the community.“

“If you are looking for authentic Dominican Cuisine EL MERENGUE RESTAURANT is the place. We met the owner Manuel very pleasant and attentive.

Overall a wonderful experience.
I would definitely go back.

“My wife was visiting with some friends so I was looking for a nice little place to have a meal this morning and this place was absolutely 100% perfect I couldn't make up my mind whether I wanted the steak and shrimp fajitas or the pork dinner so I ordered both figuring I might take one home not a chance the food was delicious and for dessert I wanted the carrot cake or the cheesecake but they had neither and the girl offered me this other piece of cake with whipped cream topping and cinnamon it was absolutely fabulous I definitely will be revisiting“
