It was light and airy with lots more tables. Fatima said we could sit wherever we wanted. We choose a table close to the front door because it was quieter. Fatima kindly turned done the music when I asked if she could. Fatima took excellent care of us! We like that the restaurant is BYOB. We enjoyed the following for our dinners: Ground Beef Burrito, Bistec Encebollado, Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde, and the Chile Relleno. All of our meals were freshly prepared and tasted delicious. The portions were very generous. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at El Trovador!

We ordered a salad, lomo empanada, and 1/2 chicken meal with brussels sprouts & carrots and black beans. To drink we got a chica morada. The lomo empanada had a great flavor and texture which was great to split as an opener. The 1/2 chicken was flavorful with both the light and the dark meat worth trying. The chicken was halved right in from of us with a large cleaver and the freshness was notable. The brussel sprouts were plentiful, crispy if a pinch oily, and with a slight sweetness that went well with the chicken. The beans were fine; likely the only thing we would not get again. Both the mild (white) and medium (green) sauces went very well with both the empanadas and the chicken. The chicha morada tasted of corn, cloves and cinnamon and was a nice sweet treat. Overall, a wonderfully quick spot with great flavor in the inner harbor.

You simply will not find better food for the price in Maryland. I had the chicken with mango salsa,…read morewhich was cooked fresh in front of me. The mango salsa was sweet and tangy, offering a pleasant contrast to the chicken which had been prepared with a light crust of seasoning. The Spanish Rice was bright, and offered a buttery note to tie the dish together. The dish was served with a side spring salad and a strawberry vinaigrette that was almost good enough to drink. The staff are kind and patient, and the restaurant's decor is industrial but inviting. This is a hidden gem, and I wish I'd found it sooner.

Peruvian chicken has such a pleasing aroma that drew us in while shopping at White Marsh…read more Just inside the door is a list of specials. They offer chicken, salads, wraps, quesadillàs, fajitás, and gyros. Many sides and sauces (sauces from mild to hot). You can see the rotiserrie chickens being charbroiled just beyond the cash reĝister. They also offer seafood, ceviches, and mainly cake. They have a self sevice soft drink machine, be aware that there is no water in it..you can get water if you buy a bottle, or bring your own. We got the1/2 cĥicken and 2 sides( both sides was the fried rice). And in the fried was bits of egg, chicken, and pieces green onion. The chicken, I would estimate, was small-medium. Everything was delicous, Plenty of free parking.

But this has always…read morebeen something my family and I say when we've had a particularly trying day), my mother wanted to stop and have some dinner. She wanted Italian, but her fav place in the Carroll Island shopping center was closed for vacation, so we went next door to get Mexican. Shhh... don't tell her but I wanted to go here all along, but I know that her only experience with "Mexican" food is Taco Bell and how she thought (yes, in the past tense) that she didn't like Mexican food. Yay for changing minds!! As we sat in the restaurant, many people came in claiming that they had come to the shopping center to get Italian, but had ended up at El Piquin and I celebrate this. I hope this place wins over tons of customers and sticks around for a while because THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!!! You should also probably know they have an alcohol permit and have beer and margaritas. We didn't order any because we didn't want to make my mom uncomfortable, considering the boyfriend was driving and we had gotten a flat tire the day before so we were driving around on a donut and she was already kinda nervous about that... but the music is bumping, the food is perfect and I bet a margarita or two after the sun goes down would be just the thing... hashtag futuregoals... Anyway... Chips and salsa come to your table gratis. Delicious. Everything you want. My mom and I both got carnitas street tacos and WOWZERS. The meat is perfectly seasoned and diced. The tacos come with a half grilled jalapeno (I took my mom's cuz they were spicy and I think she would have never recovered - hee), a grilled spring onion, limes, raw radish and cucumber - your choice of flour or corn tortillas. If you need cheese, sour cream and pico de gallo, it's gonna cost you extra - but you've been trained that sour cream costs more. The boyfriend had Bistec Encebollado ($15.50) - Steak & sauteed onions, served with rice, re-fried black beans, cheese & 2 fried eggs. Served with our house salad & 4 corn tortillas. He was pretty thrilled with it, but the chicken wings (appetizer) didn't hit quite right. He doesn't know why. He said it wasn't the sauce. The Boyfriend and I will definitely be ordering from here again. But I think the real victory was that my 70-year-old mother ate just as much of her meal as I did. SHE TOTALLY LOVED IT!!! I count that as a win.

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!
