If you even think about going here, YOU NEED TO GO! t This food was so good. actually let's start with the drinks. They had a special mandarin Mezcal margarita that you could get regular tequila or Mezcal. Then for our appetizers we got the empanadas and they do different meats within the empanadas and we got shrimp and it was so good. Thee sauce on the side so good. Every time they bought something to our table it was exceptional. We all got different entrées, steak, shrimp, tacos, and chicken. The chicken mole was so juicy so good so everything. The special of the day, which was I think a flat iron steak with a red mole so good tender, juicy devoured and then last was the shrimp tacos, which was fresh, fried to perfection, light, everything that you would want in a taco it was there and if you put a little bit of empanada sauce on there even better. la Calle will see me again very soon. Also, our waiter was amazing. He gave great service. He was from Mexico City and honestly gave good recommendations for food and the outdoor seating was really nice. It was covered by a tent in case it did start raining, but the weather was perfect. again 10 out of 10 recommend read more

La Calle - El pollo con mole - Mexican Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We had a fantastic dinner at La Calle during our stay in Fells Point. La Calle is a refined Mexican restaurant and the menu reflects choices like whole fresh fish. My wife & I have reservations and are shown to our table . I start with classic Margarita and we ordered Empanadas del Dia to start. The tequila they used in the margarita was very smooth, I did a double take after my first sip. The empanadas also, very fresh and homemade. The Empanadas were filled with Chihuahua and Monterey cheeses and topped with cilantro, crema, Queso fresco and served with a chipotle sauce, so so good. The trio of sauces was brought to the table, I'm assuming it was for the Branzino? The sauces had a heat profile from mild to wild. Deelish! I ordered for my main entree the whole Branzino. The Branzino was cooked perfectly, this is my favorite fish to order at a restaurant. If they properly de-bone the fish, its a very flavorful fish. Now I see at the bar a few bottles of Clase Azul. Clase Azul is a sipping tequila that you can drink like a scotch. I ask the waiter for a Reposado. The Clase Azul Reposado is aged for eight months in oak barrels. Clase Azul tequila is distilled twice and has a smooth, mellow taste. This was a perfect after dinner drink. La Calle, I thank you for the excellent dining experience. read more

We came here for the first time and had an excellent meal. The food was definitely a 5, the only issue was that it was SO loud that we couldn't hear each other talk and that definitely took away from the experience. But for delicious food I would definitely come back. We had the guacamole, ceviche and elote appetizers. All were fabulous. Then tried the fish, shrimp, duck and steak tacos, all very good. The chicken mole was delicious and so were the mole enchiladas. And the arugula salad was great. The margaritas were very good as well. read more

Came here for a quick bite with a friend and had a lovely time. The hostess was very sweet, and our waiter was both attentive and knowledgeable, especially about the day's specials. The bar area looked stunning, and I generally loved the decor and layout of the space. I had visited their previous location once a few years ago and can confidently say this new space works a lot better for their ambience. While I didn't try any of their drinks this time, I will definitely come back as their cocktail menu looked amazing. I ordered the queso fundido and was pleasantly surprised that this appetizer was actually a shareable size. I have not tried their entrees so I can't speak to their dinners, but definitely an excellent happy hour spot! read more

We came there for lunch and the food was absolutely great. One of the best Mexican meals and the food was really great. The menu offers good options of dishes. The Barbacoa De Cordero was delicious and has nice texture, well-balanced flavor. The Steak Tacos was fresh and creamy, with just the right amount of lime. The ambiance is lively but not too noisy, and the staff was so friendly. read more

The queso fundido was perfection, 4 of us shared and it was a great size. I had the Castilla tacos which are braised short ribs and loved them. Finally, they had a great margarita and drink selection. I definitely will be back again! read more

We have eaten at La Calle a few times now, and I can say the food is consistently some of the best we have had in Baltimore. Stars include the daily empanadas and passion fruit ceviche The service was also top notch! One of the staff spent 10-15 minutes discussing their mezcal availability with my husband and he was so passionate it made me want to try some (and I do not like mezcal). Each time we've been they havent been super busy, which is wild to me because it's definitely a gem! read more

Had a wonderful experience at La Calle on Valentines Day. It was our first time in, and we made a reservation for 2. It isn't a huge place, but there's a good amount of tables and a full bar that you can eat at too. Restaurant had great vibes and a beautiful interior. Our server was so kind and attentive and could answer all of our questions. My husband has a peanut allergy and they were super accommodating about it (1 of the salsas has a peanut garnish fyi). They bring everyone chips and a small salsa trio (for free) upon seating. We also order the guacamole to start with. It was yummy and fresh but could have been a little bigger. We also started with the white fish ceviche and OMG it was so flavorful. It is a must order - tangy, fruity, with a little bit of spice. Some of the best I've had! For mains we got the pork belly tacos and the beef tacos, which were both awesome and we loved that it comes with 3 tacos instead of 2 like some places nowadays. For drinks, I got a mezcal margarita and my husband got a mezcal old fashioned. They were both perfect - no notes lol If you like mezcal like we do, there's a huge selection here which is awesome! Fells needed a delicious, nice restaurant and La Calle did not disappoint! read more

Soooooo delicious! We were looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant around our hotel in the inner harbor area. We got in late, and they still accommodated us at 8:30 (when they were closing at 9). I ordered the Cochinita Mixiote and a La Rosa (ok... two). They have a lot of really amazing alcoholic drinks. I really like Mezcal, so I appreciated that there were multiple Mezcal drinks because, if you can make them right, there is nothing better in my opinion. The Cochinita Mixiota was simply amazing! It was sooooo shreddable and went sooooo well with the black beans and jalapeno onions and jicama and went so well all mixed together. My friend ordered a beer and chorizo tacos and loved his dish as well. This was the ONE PLACE in Baltimore that we both agreed to go back to when we visit again next year. Our server was amazing and explained the drinks and dishes to us as well. The place is very open, the kitchen is open, yet still... it seems intimate. Just loved it so much! read more

La Calle - La Rosa... beautifully presented - Mexican Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

It's been 5 yrs since I wrote my original review. La Calle has since moved since their original location, they are now in Fells Point on Broadway. I absolutely love the new space, it's much more open and spacious since their last location. The food and service is always excellent. Consistent high quality and freshness. And not to mention you get high quality portions at reasonable prices. We started with the pelliscadaz de Maiz( thick corn tortilla, black beans, crema, queso fresco, radish salad) it comes with a choice of chorizo, chicken or mushrooms. We chose the chorizo, absolutely delicious, the tortilla was nice and crispy. Definitely will get again. For dinner we did the New York strip steak and the barbacoa de Cordero( braised lamb shank). Both dishes were cooked to perfection. The lamb shank was so tender, meat fell right off the bone. We were so stuffed I did not have room for dessert. They have a tequila infused ice cream that I'm dying to try. Definitely will be returning with a few friends. They also have a brunch and happy hour service. If you are looking for a nice Mexican meal with delicious food and good cocktails, La Calle is your place. I highly recommend. So glad I came back and was able to update my review read more

Lovely restaurant with ambiance and delicious food! The visit did have a bit of a rough start, however. We were looking for a restaurant with open reservations during last weekend and were able to secure one here. Initially there was resistance from the host over our seating request of a two-top in a less crowded section. After my partner spoke up, he obliged. Next, the same host was standing near the kitchen opening in the rear, with full view of the restaurant, yet no one stopped by our table for 15 minutes. As the host eventually walked past our table, we made eye contact, which was when he asked had we been helped. He then took our food order. He had a stern word with the server, however service is a team effort, and the host should have noticed within 5 minutes that we had not been helped. After all, he was just standing there doing nothing. The server seemed to be overwhelmed and did not interact with us much. I asked for dessert and he asked did I want it to-go, which to me said he was ready to go home, so we needed to pack it up. That said, the elotes, salmon and churros were delicious! I would eat here again. read more

La Calle did everything right for our dinner. We had reservations for a special day, and they did read our reservation notes to prepare our table accordingly, which was impressive. We were greeted very nicely by the host and all the wait staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. We tried multiple appetizers (ceviche/empanadas) and entrees (chicken and steak), as well as desserts. Everything was full of flavor, and they kept their menu items interesting. Highly recommend this establishment; they all take their job seriously and ensure the guests are having a great time! read more

La Calle - Mexican Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

La Calle is such a hidden gem in Fells Point! They recently opened up this location but was previously located in downtown Baltimore. We came here for happy hour which is M-F 4-6 pm. It includes $7 margaritas, Paloma's, sangria and wine. They also have $7 apps like tacos and empanadas. We did not get any food but the margaritas were amazing! Definitely some of the best I've had in Baltimore. This place looks and feels brand new. The vibe is very chic and cozy. It is the perfect place for date night. The service was also 10/10; our bartender was very attentive and was able to share great information about the restaurant. I will be going back for dinner! read more

The restaurant space is nice, modern and open. When you enter, there's a full bar to your right and an open kitchen in the back. It's vibrant and busy, a great space to get a meal with a group of friends. We had a party of five, did not have a reservation and had to wait around 15-20 minutes for a table. Our waiter was very friendly and there were no complaints on the service. Only minor issue was it took a while for Topo Chico to come out, when everyone else got their drinks which included a beer and a couple of mocktails. We ordered some fish, pork belly and short rib tacos as an appetizer and shared the tomahawk steak. Everything was very good and tasty. One of the short rib tacos tasted a bit dry, but overall we had a good experience. When we left the restaurant, everyone including the hostess and manager saw us out and thanked us. I will definitely come back with more friends and family. ***Update*** Came back for more: suadero tacos, chicken quesadillas w/ extra pico de gallo, Mexican coke, white sangria and the tres leches. Another great meal! Got Luis as our waiter again and he made our experience just as memorable. read more

Go, it is good. Good margaritas, good tacos. Good salsa macha, good salsa de habanero. Good service.

Loved my experience at La Calle! I had been here before they moved locations but this most recent visit was awesome! The new space is really nice- much bigger and modernized with a large dining room. The service was great and everyone was really friendly and service was fast. My husband and I ordered the elote and shrimp ceviche to start and I lovedddddd both dishes so much. They were incredible. The ceviche was particularly delicious. I also ordered a house margarita that I really enjoyed- not too sweet and they did not use any margarita mix! Very important! I got the chorizo tacos for dinner which were good and my husband got the salmon entree. Overall, great experience and I will be back. read more

Love this place so much! Tried for the first time about a month ago and just went back and say at the bar for a quick bite and some drinks. The food is so delicious and thought out and my favorite are the little salsas they serve with everything! I am already planning my next trip to go back and try the mole, got a chance to talk to someone working the bar and she was telling me how the chef is from Mexico and all the salsas and food are very homemade and from its original roots. Really recommend this place for vibes drinks and good Mexican food! read more

La Calle - Frida mural! - Mexican Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Been meaning to check this place out for a few weeks because I kept hearing great things. The service was wonderful from the start. Our waiter Luis was very helpful and sweet. He helped me figure out what dishes could be made vegetarian. The drinks were very yummy and strong. The flavors we got really came through. We shared the queso fundido with mushrooms and it was pretty good with the warm tortillas. I tried the pellizcadas as my meal and it was very filling and tasty. We also got the chicken enchiladas with mole and the sauce was soooo tasty! Even though we were so full, we had to try the tres leches and mannnnn it was delish!!! I love the Frida Kahlo mural so much as well! read more

The food at this place is decent but I have never felt more rushed at a restaurant than this place. Here's a menu what do you want !! Huh Then a server accidentally dropped the salsa tray next to me . I felt so bad for him and told the guy not to worry . My shoes were ruined but the poor guy obviously didn't mean it . The boss thought ridiculous! Forget about comping a drink or something, when I asked for extra salsa they said that I'll have to order it and pay for it since they don't refill them . My favorite sandals are ruined and they couldn't even give me a small serving of extra salsa ugh ! So maybe just do takeout :) read more

A hidden gem! This place has the most authentic tasting Mexican food I've had in a while. The restaurant its self is right outside the inner Harbor of Baltimore. So if you were looking for a restaurant that still near the Harbor but not on the Harbor this is a great spot. The staff was so great and helpful for a whole meal. This place is moderately busy and has an average volume. The food came out steaming hot and fresh. With each dish it came with a special sauce. These sauces were incredible. Especially the spicy green sauce that came with the chicken empanadas. It really tied the whole meal together! I would definitely come here again and try more items on the menu. They had a few seafood options that looked really interesting! read more

A complete let down. I picked this spot for a friends birthday, based on the reviews and pictures it looked like a great spot. I made a reservation ahead of time since we had a party of 7. Keep in mind we are here on a Thursday night, it is not that busy and we are just trying have a birthday dinner. As soon as I walked in I knew we were screwed. The staff just stared at us the entire time, like the ENTIRE TIME. From the moment we sat down we were rushed like you would not believe. It became super awkward as every time our server came we had to shut down wanting to order entrees as our appetizers hadn't even hit the table yet. The food was fine, nothing out of this world. Presentation was nice but I never really got to enjoy it. The space itself feels empty yet trendy at the same time. Making you feel slightly out of place. I really wanted to like this place and just relax with some good food and margaritas. But it just wasn't going to happen to us. Not sure why we caught the vibe that we did but we all agreed that we wouldn't make an effort to dine here again. read more

La Calle is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the entire Baltimore, Washington, Annapolis region. The owners, who are from Mexico City, offer truly delicious, authentic Mexican food. The service is great, and the restaurant is always clean. Also, if you like spicy drinks, I highly recommend "El Diablo", a spicy margarita. It's great anytime of year, but it is especially a summertime treat. It is muddled with cucumbers, which makes it wonderfully refreshing. We go on Sundays when it is quieter. It can get noisy on busier nights; however, the owners are planning to take steps to improve the acoustics this summer. read more

Good drinks and food. I got the gauc for an appetizer and the chicken quesadilla for an entree and both were great options. The service could've been better, although I didn't have a reservation they sat me and a friend at a table and immediately our server came up and rudely let us know that we only had an hour to sit and eat at that table because they needed to merge our table with others for a large party reservation. I politely let him know that I prefer not to rush through my meal and if they can move us instead of giving us only an hour. Luckily the host was a lot kinder and he moved us to a different empty table. Our server after that didn't bother checking in or taking our orders (even though we were still in his section) and instead let the host take care of us. So food is 8/10, service is more like 5/10, I guess depending on who you get. read more

La Calle - Guac appetizer and guava margarita - Mexican Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

It's amazing. It's one of our favorite EATS! Authentic Mexican with delicious dishes! Tacos are excellent!

I'm not sure if I already left a review but, after my last visit this weekend, I had to make sure. I'm making it Yelp official: I love this place. From the ambiance to the service to the food and drinks, I can't recommend this place enough. The restaurant was bustling on a Saturday night but it wasn't too loud and we were seated right away. We had house margaritas, the lamb and shrimp entree. It feels like the menu items rotate but I've literally never had a bad dish here. In short, check them out if you're looking for modernized traditional Mexican cuisine in a great environment. read more

La Calle was nice. Friend made reservation at 7:30. Another friend and I got there pretty early and were still able to be seated. It's restaurant week so there's a pre fix menu for $35 which includes a margarita. Made perfect sense to order from that although the full menu was available. I ordered the Empanadas de Pollo, Manchamanteles de Pollo, and Flan De Cafe. My favorite item were the empanadas. The manchamanteles I could have done without. It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. I'm not a flan girl so I don't know why I even bothered ordering that. Service was great. Nice atmosphere as well. read more

I had dinner at La Calle on a Wednesday night with a group of girlfriends -- we've been so excited for this place to open! It's located right across from Broadway market, so if you're driving you may want to budget a few extra minutes to look for parking. The first thing that struck me when I walked inside was how modern and chic the place looked. I couldn't believe I was still in Fells! The ceiling is low, the furniture is trendy, it has such a lovely vibe! At the same time it still felt cozy and comfortable. The servers were all very friendly and attentive, and the cocktails and food came out very quickly. The cocktail menu is not expensive but they do their margaritas well! Between the four of us we sampled almost every margarita. Our favorite were the Diablo and the pink guava. The food was solid. For appetizers we split the guacamole and queso fundido. The guacamole was fine but not spectacular, but the queso was quite good. They brought out a trio of salsas which were delicious -- but we discovered at the end of the night that any additional salsa you ask for is charged ($2 for one or $5 for the trio). For our mains we got mushroom tacos, chicken quesadilla, and the lamb and barbacoa entrees. While the appetizers were just ok, the entrees were all VERY good. The barbacoa and lamb were both very tender and a huge hit. I can't wait to return and try more items! read more

New Mexican restaurant in downtown Baltimore. We went for dinner on a Saturday night. Their drink menu was broad, from tequila flights, margaritas, and more. I got the la Rosa which the waitress warned me was sweet. It was. I would half the sugar and order again because the egg white made the cocktail very smooth. My friend got the el Diablo which was the best cocktail of the night! Definitely order. This place has authentic Mexican food. We ordered apps including the empanadas (delish), queso fundido (good but would have liked chips instead of tortilla) and yucca. Off to a great start. We ordered entrees and everyone was happy. We got steak tacos, cheese quesadilla, barbacoa, and the mole poblano (winner). All were flavorful. One star off for ambiance (restaurant was very dark, and location not ideal). I think food quality makes up for it though! I'd go back! read more

I think I've been to La Calle 5 times now - twice at their previous location, and 3 times to the new location on Broadway. The food, drinks, and service have always been excellent, and the ambiance at the new place is great. I've enjoyed every cocktail I've tried, but I think my top 2 were the passion margarita and La Rosa. For food, the aguachile or ceviche options are superbly balanced and delicious. My favorite appetizer, though, is probably the pork costillas - 4 succulent ribs in one of the best sauces I've ever had atop some nicely fried yuca. The barbacoa de cordero is the best entree I've tried, though I have yet to order a single dish that I considered to be a miss. I am trying to make myself order new things each time I go, but it's hard when I feel like the barbacoa is calling my name. I am so thrilled to have La Calle as an excellent dining option in Baltimore. Baltimore has several great Mexican restaurants, my other favorites being Cocina Luchadoras and of course Clavel, but La Calle feels like more of a special occasion place, but priced in a way that it doesn't break the bank. In my opinion, it's a great value when you compare the quality (and quantity!) to the price. read more
