You can tell that the food is prepared with care right on the spot. The atmosphere is simple and casual, but the owners were very friendly. If you are looking for authentic Honduran or Latin American food, you simply must visit them--they offer Mexican-style tacos, Salvadoran *pupusas*, and Honduran dishes. It is undoubtedly worth a visit. I will definitely be back to try more dishes.

An interesting place clearly inspired by the various cuisines of the Spanish-speaking world. I…read morewould not call any of this place traditional Mexican, Salvadoran, Spanish, etc. but a lot of the food is reminiscent of those cuisines. You walk in and there's a counter, a few tables, and a fridge with some to-go desserts. Several folks were standing waiting for a to-go order. We dined in, so we walked down the narrow hallway to the back room full of booths and tables. With lots of art for sale on the walls, it's got a nice cozy vibe going on. We were there on the later end on a random Tuesday, so we were the only people there. Our waiter brought us a basket of chips and salsa and after looking over the menu, I took his suggestion to get the paella. Their paella is not a traditional paella valenciana by any stretch, but it's sort of a cross between that and a jambalaya: rice-based with shrimp, chicken, and sausage, pleasantly spicy with some veggies thrown in too. While I originally balked at the price ($28 as of this writing), it was dinner and then two more meals when I took it home; it's easily 2-3 servings, making that price less daunting. My wife got the Tapas Platter, which was a great way to sample the variety of appetizers. A tasty chicken tamal, some spinach empanada (which had a kind of "meh" dough), a cheesy pupusa, and a salchipapa (potato stuffed with ground sausage and cheese) which my wife went mad for. There is a kids menu and Child #1 opted for a cheese quesadilla which seemed standard and Child #2 opted for a burger and fries which was pretty big for a kids meal, but I'm not complaining! BYOB - they even have a sign encouraging folks to go a few doors down to the liquor store if customers want to bring something in. The service wasn't very fast, but it wasn't bad. The food was decent, but it does seem a bit streamlined, so don't come here for a big variety of street tacos or the whole gamut of pupusas. That said, it was an overall solid dining experience.

I stopped by Empanada Lady during brunch. I was not expecting the music to be so loud, which was…read morenot a good first impression. But I started to feel better about my decision once the friendly server arrived and I saw all of the good options on the menu. My girlfriend and I ordered a bunch of dishes and shared. We ordered the black beans & Rice side dish, along with the following empanadas: Shrimp, Beef, Pork, Crab, Apple The empanadas are huge. Our favorite was the shrimp empanada. It was so delicious. The beef and pork empanadas were top tier as well. The crab was the big disappointment that keeps me from giving Empanada Lady 5 stars. Not nearly enough crab flavor. I expect every crab dish to be good in Baltimore. The black beans & rice was an excellent choice of side dish. The apple empanada was a nice dessert to end the meal with. Although with the empanadas being so big I probably wouldn't do dessert again. I will go back again and order the shrimp, beef, and pork empanadas. Maybe I'll go during the week and keep my fingers crossed that the music isn't so loud. It was good R&B music though. Amtrak to Baltimore: https://youtu.be/54yPGPqkc5U

I had high hopes for this place because the salsa was flavorful. Found out they are from Honduras, which I've never had, but I really enjoyed their food. I had the tacos dorado, which is chicken. I'm typically a beef rolled tacos person, like they do it in San Diego, but this was really, really good. My fiancé had their tacos alpastor and the tortillas were fresh. Thicker then we've had, but very tasty and you didn't need two tortillas the way other places are cause they'll fall apart. These didn't! The server was very friendly and checked on us a couple of times. I'm so happy to have found this place!

I've been a number of times, and I keep coming back hoping I just 'ordered the wrong thing' from the menu, but alas no...most recently this was a tablewide talking point and consensus. We've pretty much given up on finding anything to eat worth coming back for. Service is always friendly but usually slow (as they're usually busy) and not very attentive. We usually do a round of drinks with dinner, which are also nothing special. Except (and this is a big one) we're starting to suspect they aren't storing their margarita mix properly. Turns out, *multiple* people in our party, across completely different visits (including just recently), have ordered the strawberry margarita and about halfway through it started feeling sick (only drink of the night each time). The fantastic atmosphere might balance the consistently disappointing food, but if what you're serving is making multiple people sick, that's problematic. So if you can get a seat outside by the water, it's a great atmosphere...but if you stay, don't expect a great meal, and definitely avoid the strawberry margarita.

Health: A menu with wide variety and genuine Hispanic cuisine is more than appreciated. Rice,…read moresalad, meat, soups. It's there and cooked without oil immersion or the awful trap of terrible portioning. Here, the nutrients shine. And that is healthy. Price: Decent. Very Decent. Everything I bought there was roughly over 45 dollars (before the tipping) and keep in mind, the condiments and sauces were complimentary. For this quality and quantity? I definitely got my money's worth. Experience: Wonderful server. Even in a busy dinner cycle, she came over and literally started to hand me a menu almost right as I sat down. Even gave me a great recommendation for the Enchilada platter and brought the holster of extras over to the table as well. The food was delivered quickly, and the small details (utensils, cleanliness, chair organization etc.) were great. Taste: Honestly this place is a standout for seasoning. It's flavorful, unique, and skewed towards spices over oil. Tasteful impact, without the baggage. A gem. Even among so many other restaurants serving this cuisine in the area I've tried, this is a standout. I'll come eat here again. You should too. It's right next to Patterson park with so many parking spaces nearby. I'm gonna run here. Soon.
