25 Best Latin American Restaurants in Baltimore

“I recently went to Alma with my dad as a special treat. Alma is the perfect place to enjoy high-quality food in a beautiful restaurant with amazing, kind staff. I love this restaurant so much! I’ve gotten to have a tour of the kitchen and meet some of the staff thanks to the owner, Irena, who is one of the kindest and most generous people I’ve ever met. I could not recommend this place enough!“

“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.“

“Poyoteca electrifies Baltimore’s food scene with deeply satisfying Latin-inspired bowls and charcoal-roasted Peruvian chicken. The upbeat, contemporary counter-service counter buzzes with efficiency, thanks to an eager staff dedicated to fast feast assembly. Build your ideal plate with tender pollo rotisserie, spiced rice, and fiery aji sauces.“

“Bit cramped BUT def a cool cafe vibe. I think the girl at the register was Kendall! SOOO PERSONABLE and she made a horror movie reference no one got lol Had the Cachapas with the Plant-based Chirizo. Looks a bit meh but OMG TASTE AMAZING! Definitely will be back!“

“This is my favorite Peruvian chicken spot! I live in Harford County and will go out of my way to this location. The chicken is always cooked just right and the seasoning is always on point. My daughter loves their Mac & Cheese although it’s is usually sold out before I can get there after work.“

“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“

“The staff was super friendly and sweet. I was the only person there but they made sure they took care of me even for a take-out order. The atmosphere was welcoming, clean and full of character. The food was 10/10, I got a chicken pupusa, bean and cheese pupusa and a chicken tamale. I enjoyed everything I got and didn't spend more than $15 during my visit. Prices were great, food is amazing. It's a must try.“

“I've been coming to this restaurant for years, I just recently stopped past this week and I noticed that it's under new ownership. The previous ownership the service was good, friendly and the food was excellent. The new ownership is continuing the same as the old ownership. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. I recommend anyone who wants to taste authentic Dominican food, come to this restaurant. You will have a great experience. I'm traveling from Pennsylvania when I come down to this restaurant and it's worth the trip.“

“I had a veggie enchilada and for a restaurant in an airport it was really good“

“I live only a few doors down and purchase most of what I need here. They have a wide variety of grocery items and most of anything else you may need. Prices are very reasonable and everyone is very friendly there. Would rather shop here whenever possible and support the local economy.“

“I wrote a review earlier about how amazing the food was. Dissapointing...I had my friend pickup another order for me and HE GOT MORE FOOD FOR THE SAME ORDER.WOW!SIS... I hear you....you don't want me to come back. I know you don't care but ill stay away from your lil eatery and let others know as well.I got a scoop of rice and very little meat on the tacos. I assumed thats just how you run your lil place.Clearly you just decided to give me a little bit of food for $14....that's crazyMy friend was white and got so much food for the same order.What a joke!“

“Great place to drink, eat and watch your favorite games. Very clean!“
