    Upscale Mexican food in downtown Baltimore. Connected to the four seasons hotel you get delicious food as well as beautiful views of the harbor. We celebrated my mom's birthday here with dinner. Our server Ashley was so friendly, personable and great with getting questions answered about the menu. I definitely recommend the Coqueta cocktail and the rice and beans as a side. I ordered the ceviche which was my first time having yellowtail but it was flavorful and a little spicy which I loved. The tacos are priced individually and a bit high for what you get but they were delicious.

    This is my review after visiting Maximin three times. My hubby is a lover of Mexican cuisine, so I get to try all the Mexican restaurants. This is a bit upscale taco place. The location is fantastic being right off the water. We sat outside on a perfect weather day and inside when it was too hot. We were also able to watch the sunset which was a plus. Their oysters are FRESH!!! They were so good. Salsa was amazing ! We really enjoyed all their dish! Servers were great and bartender was so kind. Absolutely a must place if you are around that area.

    We came here for lunch and it was delicious! Food and drinks tasted great. Our waiter was very friendly. We ordered the tacos and they do have a note saying that when you order them originally it only comes with 1 taco. So you will have to ask for more if you are feeling hungry for more than 1. Our seat had a good view of the harbor. I'd love to come back to hear the live music they have around dinner.

    Highly recommend brunch at Maximón. The buttermilk pancakes with canela are outstanding, with buttery, crispy edges that make them unforgettable. I always enjoy trying something new here, and the Norteño--suggested by our waitress--was excellent: a comforting combo of hash brown, poached eggs, and chorizo that reminded me of a breakfast bowl. Don't skip the smoked wings either--so good you'll want your own order.

    I came here with some friends to celebrate our September birthdays. It was not my choice to come but I was out voted. I choose not to eat at Atlas Restaurants because they are usually overpriced and underwhelming and this experience was no difference. I will admit, we had great service, the ambience was very nice and upscale (especially with the live music), and the drinks were great. The food was a letdown. The chicken tings tetela was ok but I don't think it was worth $12. Also, the roasted chicken was meh. Not horrible but I wouldn't care to eat it again. I didn't care for the risotto it came with either. And honestly, the way it was plated didn't sell it to me. The only thing I did love other than the drinks were the trio of desserts they gave us on the house for our birthdays. The churro was my favorite. So as I mentioned before, overpriced and underwhelming. You pay more for the ambience and the Atlas name because the food didn't do it for me.

    Stopped by Maximón for drinks and an appetizer, and wow--instantly felt like I'd been transported into Latin America, whether Mexico, Spain, or somewhere in between. The outdoor waterfront seating truly feels like a resort getaway, totally out-of-country vibes right in Baltimore. We only had drinks and chips & salsa, but both were outstanding. The cocktails were super refreshing, and the chips were perfectly crisp with fresh, flavorful salsa. I didn't expect so much from a light snack, but Maximón delivered. Can't wait to go back for a full meal!

    Randomly walked by on a Saturday evening. There was a group learning bachata i Believe on the pier, infront of the outdoor Maximon bar/ seating area. Seating is first come outside, we found space at the bar Had a few drinks. Didn't get any food. Chill time catching up with a friend and those around us Good times along the water. three bathroom stalls for women, and at the end there was no toilet paper or hand towels. I told someone about the issue, hopefully they mediated everything soon after I would def. come back, esp. on a late summer night

    This restaurant gives you Cabo vibes with the outdoor seating. You have great views of the harbor and plenty of shade from the sun. My friend and I shared the Maryland crab fritters, roasted chicken, plantain fried rice, carne asada and shrimp tacos. The chicken was cooked perfectly as it was not dry and the black mean mushroom risotto was absolutely delicious. I loved the tacos as they were packed with plenty protein. The tacos were fairly large. The service here was 5 stars. Mason was kind, patient and made us feel very welcomed. He told us about Atlas restaurants groups rich history. Now this is not your typical taqueria or Tex Mex place. It's more elevated so you are paying for a premium experience.

    My husband and I had an impromptu date night and decided to give Maximon a chance. I have heard many great things over the years about the restaurant and was very happy to finally give them a try. My husband an I had an all-around great experience and will return soon! The restaurant is kinda hard to find. It is located at the bottom of some fancy hotel. Better signage would be great to make the location easier to find. The ambiance within the restaurant was amazing. When you step-in, you feel like you have been transported out of Baltimore. There is also outside seating, but it was rather a cold nice, so we didn't take advantage. There was a live band preforming during our visit. The music wasn't overwhelming, it was a nice addition to match the already amazing ambiance. The service was amazing. Our waiter was efficient and friendly and offered suggestions when asked. The food was AMAZING!! Very tastefully and extremely flavorful. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the flavors were well worth the price.

    Maximón is an absolute gem! The food was incredible--every dish was full of bold, fresh flavors, and beautifully presented. The seafood was very very fresh and one of the highlights from Maximón's raw bar was the yellowtail ceviche, the flavors are insane! I also enjoyed the Grilled Shrimp, Wild Blue Catfish Frito & Carne Asada Tacos, The Chicken Chicharrones, Tuna Tostados and Smoked Chicken Wings! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with stunning decor that made the experience even more special. I suggest going during sunset so you can catch the restaurant glowing and also enjoy the ambiance during the night. Service was also amazing Victor, our waiter, was very attentive and helpful. Dejon, one of the restaurant managers, also ensured that we had an amazing visit! This place is a must-visit, I have been a handful of times and never have any complaints or issues. Highly recommend!

    Server Edwin was very nice. Enjoyed all the food but especially the fluffy pancakes! Love the vibes here

    Sat outside for a quick drink. It gave the vibe of Mexico. Cabana like seating area outsi, trees/grass blowing and even an outside bar. I'll come back and try food. But, our waitress was def good the 2 times we saw her but she disappeared for a long time and never came back... eventually after swirling our heads around several times, another waitress came over to say she was pulled in the office :-/... then she took care of us.

    Interesting flavors and unique blends. Everything tastes fresh but I was hoping for more of a pop. The Chilatole soup was unlike anything I've had so perhaps the flavor is meant to be very subtle but it just seemed bland and the corn, crab and other toppings were underwhelming. The smoked wings very well cooked and juicy but again underwhelming flavor. The lime served on dude gave much needed brightness but the sauce gave dimensionless HEAT without any flavor (and I like Hot and tolerate it better than most). The Cardinal Sin cocktail was great and many other drinks looked intriguing so maybe a good place to gather for drinks to start the night. The staff is very nice and music keeps a fun feeling atmosphere. There were several other items I was curious to try but I'm not sure I'll be back.

    Holy Mountain!

    El Salto - Fajitas

    El Salto

    El Salto Mexican Restaurant - Prices Up, Quality Didn't Follow…read more El Salto used to be the spot. Packed house, sizzling fajitas, margaritas everywhere -- it had that lively, go-to Mexican restaurant energy. Now it looks like a lot of money went into renovations... and those costs landed on the menu. The problem is, the food quality didn't rise with the prices. It cost about $40 for my daughter and me to eat. She had a single taco with very little cheese and a big serving of rice and beans. My three-item combo was around $14-15, which sounds reasonable until you realize most of it is melted cheese, tortillas, and a low-grade beef mix. The crumbly cheese was hard to find, but queso was layered through everything. Then they charge $6 for a small side of queso, which feels wild considering how cheese-heavy the plates already are. Drinks were about $4, which is normal. Service was fine. But when the total creeps toward $40 for mostly cheese and filler, it's hard to justify. This place used to be known for great fajitas and a fun atmosphere. Now it feels like you're paying updated prices for the same old ingredients. Renovated space, not renovated flavor.

    I'll start by saying--I'm not really a Mexican food fan--but I came here to celebrate a friend's…read morebirthday (they love coming here every year), and I can see why it's a local favorite! We only waited about 5 minutes to be seated, which was great for a weekend evening. Once seated, we perused the menu and our server was attentive but not overbearing. I ordered the 3 hard shell steak tacos supreme, and while they were pretty average, I'll admit they were definitely a step above Taco Bell . My friend went with the #6 Dinner Combo (enchilada, taco, rice & beans) plus an extra beef taco--and they were very happy with their meal. The real highlight, though, was the birthday celebration--complete with a sombrero and lots of laughs. You can tell the staff really enjoys making guests feel special. Overall, El Salto has friendly service, solid prices, and a festive atmosphere that makes it perfect for group celebrations. I'll be back next year for the annual birthday dinner... and this time, I've got my eye on the fried ice cream! Pro tip: Come with friends--it's way more fun when you're celebrating something!
