You simply will not find better food for the price in Maryland. I had the chicken with mango salsa, which 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. read more

We kind of happened upon Fuentes Cafe by accident, but we're so happy we did! It's a small café in the ground for of an apartment building so it's not a place is normally pass by. But a quick search for restaurants and they popped up. There are tables and bar seating, and the menu posted on the wall when you enter, with specials and taco options on the chalkboard below. We went with the tortilla soup and the carnitas platter (3 tacos). Everything was tasty!! The folks working were friendly and we'll certainly be back again. read more

Fuentes Cafe - Tortilla soup - Cafes Near Me - Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland

The food is made fresh and tastes great. A true mom and pop cafe with both Italian ( owner/chef previously worked at Fazzinis) and Mexican dishes as well as American favorites. A nice quiet place to enjoy lunch tucked in the back of an office building. A hidden gem ! Try the mango chicken, southwestern wrap or fish tacos . read more

Cute little spot for lunch. Nothing to write home about. Food was good for a little hole in the wall place but not special or amazing, just fine. The lady working the register was pleasant and the food took a while to prepare despite us being basically the only people there. read more

Very nice owners! The food is always great, and the mango and pineapple juices are a plus. A little spot with the big flavor!

This is a good local family owned and operated restaurant. The prices are very affordable and food has good flavor. We ordered the shrimp burrito and steak tacos. The shrimp burrito had good flavor, but had a lot of beans. If you do not enjoy beans I would suggest the burrito without beans. The steak tacos had good flavor, but the meat was a little dry. Overall, this was good food, less the few things mentioned previously. read more

Got a steak platter ($14) and a piece of tiramisu ($4). steak platter: mixed greens with fresh strawberries, feta, and strawberry vinaigrette was fresh, nothing was the least bit wilty. The strawberry dressing on strawberry was a little much strawberry for me, but it was tasty. The super thin steak was surprisingly done well -- there's no choice of doneness since it's so thin, but even with it being thoroughly cooked, it was fatty enough that it didn't come across as dry. It is a cheap cut with fat and gristle and it's got a bit of chewiness...I liked it. The pico and rice were good accompaniments too, rice was tasty in a buttery way. For the price, a definite 5/5 Tiramisu: it looked slightly dry around the edges so I suspect the piece was cut on a prior day. However...it tasted fine. Better than fine. I've never met tiramisu I didn't like. Again...for the price, definitely 5/5 They do not give water cups here, which is a bummer. There is a great collection of hot sauce, tho. I'd come here again. Tasty and satisfying at a decent price! read more

Fuentes Cafe - Ribeye steak platter ($14) - Cafes Near Me - Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland

Seems like a nice restaurant....BUT the staff is INCREDIBLY rude. "Asking if I can read and oh you're always here" I literally sit and wait for maybe 5-10 minutes before 11am to pick up my client (who is on the autism spectrum). Keep in mind by the time I get there ...there are NO up close spaces for me to park so that she can see if I'm there or not. So I simply park and wait in the Fuentes Cafe Parking spots... the Cafe ISNT EVEN OPEN when I'm there picking up my client. I just wish they would be more patient and understanding with the s that I'm put in. After this, I hope MORE PEOPLE DO NOT EAT HERE AND GIVE THEM SERVICE!!! extremely rude read more

Good food.Fish in taco nice and juicy, cooked just right. Burrito is big and also quite good like a taco salad but in a wrap.

My wife and I found this amazing place to have dinner tonight. Family owned and operated. The food is prepared to order and was delicious and homemade. The service was excellent and the restaurant was very clean. I would return as both my wife and I enjoyed everything about this little Gem. read more

We finally stopped for a late lunch/early dinner at Fuentes. We had read really good things about this restaurant, and they were spot on. It is a little gem of a restaurant hidden at 30 E. Padonia Road on the back side of the office building. The restaurant was spotless. The menu is very eclectic - something for everyone - American food, Italian Food, and Mexican food. They have seating inside for about 12 people at tables, counter seating and some outside tables. Of course, we were the only ones there as it was 3:30 PM. Will, the owner, warmly greeted us and answered all of our questions about the food that he prepares. This is a family business, Will and Nora, his wife, both work here. Will suggested that I try the Special Enchilada. I chose ground beef - the dish came with rice and black beans. I was very impressed with the presentation and taste. My husband judges a restaurant on how well they make a Cheese Steak sub. Fuentes passed with flying colors. Both of our dishes were freshly prepared, delicious and loaded with flavor. Since the restaurant was quiet, we had the chance to chat with Will. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We highly recommend Fuentes! read more

A return to Fuentes! Based on the reviews I've read in the Yelper community, I wanted to do something different this chilly Saturday evening: order carryout and try something other than their fantastic Mexican cuisine. Owners Will and Nora were there with their team, busy as usual preparing carryout orders. Shortly after I arrived, a couple who had eaten there the first time tonight were very pleased and said they would definitely be back. Nora took my order for a chicken cheesesteak sub and fries. Orders are prepared in the order taken and I had to wait a few minutes. While watching the team working I reminisced stories my wife told me of her Greek Dad as he worked a stand at Lexington Market when she was an adolescent and joined him "helping out." I think about this as my father in law came to this country as a child and returned to Greece when his father fell ill. After serving in WW II, for the US (dual citizenship), he toiled in several successful ventures, dry cleaning and carryouts for decades with his Lexington Market venture being his last. Several peers who came from Greece worked menial jobs in hotel restaurants and the like and progressed into owning their own successful businesses. I get the same vibe from Will and Nora. Back to the food- I got it in about 10 minutes and traveled home to enjoy it. The sub was perfect. The WizWit mixed perfectly with the chicken. And it was a deal at $8.50. The fries we still hot when I got home. Plentiful and ran just $2. So glad they're doing well and I hope to return sooner than later! read more

My Husband and I were shopping in the area and I had a taste for a Cheesecake Sub, so my Husband found this place on Yelp that had great reviews. We was pleasantly surprised that they also had Mexican Food. We almost passed it because it's located in an Office Building. It's a cute little Cafe with tables to eat in or outside if you want. It has a impressive menu with a lots of items to choose from. The Gentleman that took our orders was very friendly and chatted with us a bit. Everything was made to order, fresh, hot and delicious. Can't wait to return to try new menu items. read more

I was on my way to visit at Dulaney cemetery. So I decided to have lunch while visiting. Those who know how peaceful it is out there would know. Anyhow I searched Yelp for a near by lunch spot and This place popped up with excellent reviews. So I stopped by and grabbed fish tacos. The tacos are topped with a slaw, pickled carrots and sauce. The tacos were just okay. This place is a little pricey service was okay as well.However,I will comeback to try more whenever I'm in the area. read more

A true, delicious, hole in the wall. Basically a kitchen with a counter. Costs a bit more than fast-casual, but you're getting a very good product.

Opened late 2019. Mexican Italian means a choice of pasta, ravioli, chicken parmesan or Mexican burritos enchiladas or quesadillas. Clean and comfortable. Staff was nice. More takeout than restaurant feel although there are plenty of tables No chips or salsa at the tables. 30 minute parking reserved for the restaurant Enchilada was very good and worth coming back for. read more

Very friendly staff that answered all questions I had. The tacos was made fresh and quickly at that. I wish the steak was a better quality, it kinda seemed like the thin steak you would use in a cheesesteak. The tacos were still delicious so don't get me wrong. I will definitely come back and visit to try more. read more

Family in town for Thanksgiving. Everybody wanted something quick, since they knew turkey was going to be a part of their meals for days. Decided to order from one of our go to places. As always, we were not disappointed. The owners were super friendly when we ordered and always appreciative of your business. Ordered fish tacos, quesadillas, two different wraps, and a Carnitas burrito. Food was very good! Will continue to order from here and would suggest if you need a good meal for a very reasonable price. read more

The food is done very well and the owners could not be more welcoming. It was a nice unexpected find.

This place is yummy. We walked into a very clean place with a counter and a few tables and had basic expectations. However, the food was plentiful, fresh and tasty at a reasonable price. My husband had a chicken platter and I had the salmon. we ate it all and said we would return. Don't be disappointed by the interior as it is clean and plain. However, the food makes up for the basic setting. read more

I wish I had known this place existed before now! There are so many choices in the area, but I stopped here on a whim for an early dinner with my mom. We were immediately greeted by the couple that presumably runs the place. We ordered to go and watched as our meals were prepared entirely from scratch. I ordered the blackened chicken special with mango salsa, which comes served on a bed of rice with a mixed green side salad topped with strawberries and feta cheese, and my mom got the southwestern chicken wrap. The chicken was prepared fresh for both orders, and the portions were extremely generous for the price. Everything was extremely fresh and very flavorful, and the raspberry vinaigrette that came with the salad was incredible. COVID-19 protocols were in place (masks, plexiglass) and everything was very clean. I will definitely eat here again, and would encourage anyone looking to support a local eatery during these very difficult times to do the same! read more
