Chicken tacos, traditional
Ashley J.

This is a cool little food truck that I've seen around Baltimore. I personally tried the spa when they were located at Ministry Brewing on a weeknight. I found the prices to be a little bit steep for the quality and quantity of food. Three chicken tacos were $12 and they came with a little bit of onion, a little bit of lime, and chicken. There are two options for your tacos, one is the American way, and one is the traditional way. The American way comes with lettuce and cheese, and the traditional way came with the onion blend that I got. The sauces that came with the tacos were good. The meat itself was well seasoned as well. Despite all this I was still hungry after the third taco so I feel like they could've possibly added a side or something just to make the meal more fulfilling. Alternatively it should be allowed to get lettuce and onion on your tacos

a tray of tacos and chips

As a certified fat boy, I found that this was a pleasant surprise for a cold afternoon at the Maryland Department of Transportation (Mdot), food truck day. The young lady that took my order was no business and ready to work...greatly appreciated since it was a little nippy outside in the parking lot. I got the chicken tacos and chips and salsa. Spicier than I'm used too getting, but good to say the least. I hope they're on Mdot's food truck rotation next month.

I absolutely love the taco bar, so I was surprised to come to their Yelp page and find their rating was so low. Everything I've sampled from the truck as been awesome! The food is very reasonably price and the service is great! Highly recommended!

Cheese quesadilla- not melted, still shredded.
Omar Z.

Ordering started out painful as the cashier girl was extremely rude and unprofessional. Food just satisfied our base hunger- steak tacos were not great - everything but the meat was ok- the beef was bland, quesadilla was not even melted, side of black beans tasted salt-less. 2 stars for the food.

dirtiest, greasy bottom of box (no bag)
Ed T.

Not professional, not polite. The young woman running the register couldn't recommend a dish and was later offended when I didn't drop my phone call (20 ft away from the truck) to run over and grab my food when she called me. No, they were not busy at all. What an attitude. Wrong job for this girl. Sorry I had already included the tip in the CC transaction. I had their jerk shrimp tacos. Shrimp were just ok, lacking in jerk (except the cashier). And if shrimp is going to be served in a taco, they need to be cooked a little longer. Soft/soggy shrimp may be correct for pasta, but not in a taco. Also, look at the pic of the BOTTOM of the food box. There is grease all over it & pieces of food-druff. How is it possible they got it that dirty by accident?

Taco Bar participates in my church's Food Truck Tuesday's. Every Tuesday 4pm-8pm they can be found at The Church at Severn Run, April through October. I do know you can find them at other food truck events. I've read previous reviews and Taco Bar must have stepped their food game up! Everything is freshly made. Chicken burrito bowls and shrimp tacos are two of my nieces favorites. Taco Bar is the only food truck they eat from. The rice which comes with most meals, is a spicy jalapeno rice. It has a nice kick and will definitely make you sweat! Prices are reasonable, food is plentiful. One of my family's favorite food trucks. If you see their blue trucks around town, go!

Carnitas tacos Mexican style - $12
Bryce W.

I'd previously rated this truck 4 stars, but I'm downgrading it to 3 stars. The prices have gone up in the past few years and the quality of the food, which was not great to start with, has stayed the same. $16 for 3 carnitas tacos and a side of beans is a bit ridiculous. The red "taco sauce" tastes more like marinara than any Mexican salsa I've ever had. I'm not expecting exceptionally authentic food, but for what they're charging, it should at least be convincing. Don't get me wrong, the food is not bad, hence the 3 stars. You just wouldn't need to look very hard to find better tacos at a better price elsewhere.

Grilled "something" shrimp tacos
Venice F.

Wow! So, this truck comes to my job once a week & I totally ignored it each week. But today, I smelled these fries that got me craving. I ordered the fries and this grilled shrimp special they had posted. Well, it was awesome! The shrimp were huge, perfectly grilled & the sauce had a great flavor and a little kick. Can't wait till next Tuesday!

Crab and shrimp burrito bowl.
Dale S.

A good food truck experience. I was at a local food truck event and decided to give this truck my business. The staff were very nice and the food was hot! I had the crab and shrimp burrito bowl and it was quite good, if you enjoy spicy seafood. The only recommendation I would make is to serve less rice and more yummy toppings.

Blackened Shrimp Tacos
Liz V.

Caught the food truck at Manor Hill Brewery. Everything sounded delicious but I ended up getting the Blackened Shrimp Tacos. They were a little on the spicy side, which lingered a little long, but they were still delicious! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the tortillas were fresh. Highly recommend if your looking for some delicious tacos!

My B.

This is my second time trying taco truck and it will be my last. Food trucks are always a little pricey and this is no exception. 3 tacos for $13. Both times I got the steak tacos. They were good but the price tag is a little steep. My husband ordered the tropical shrimp tacos. Not good. Not worth the price tag either. A couple shrimp and a tangy sauce. We also ordered a side of fries and it was so disappointing. I took a pic of those. The grease was so old you can see pic below. Unfortunately I was starving and didnt take a pic of the tacos.

I love they have a waiting room, that doubles at a Carryout pick up and merch shop, so genius. It reminds me that Baltimore food scene is on the rise.

The tacooooooos, this gotta be their bread and butter I definitely bodied it. The flan was classic, I got what I expected.

She has always been wanting to try this place. And she absolutely loved it. Clavel has been in the Remington neighborhood since 2015. Mainly a family/minority owned taqueria and mezcaleria with deep Sinaloa roots. One thing I absolutely love here is the ceviche. My favorites are the Aguachile( shrimp cured in lime and spicy cilantro pesto). The salmon crudo was straight fire and I always love the ponzu tuna. You can never go wrong with the queso fundido. And not pictured were the tacos. We also got a few tacos to share for the table. The barbacoa de borrego and the El lucahdor( fish taco) is my favorite. And their cocktails are to die for. You really can never go wrong with having dinner here at Clavel. Great place to stop in and have a few drinks and grab delicious food.

This gorgeous restaurant sits by the water bringing you a slice of Mexico to Maryland! I truly…read moreenjoyed how vibrant the ambiance is, as it is decorated with live plants, bamboo finishes, and bright colors. The tacos are clearly made with love! Each taco is extremely fresh and I can tell that it was crafted meticulously in the kitchen. Be mindful that each taco is priced separately and you get a single taco ranging from $10.00 - 15.00. The guacamole is fresh and garnished with strawberries. Personally, I typically go for a spicier and more flavorful guac, but if you opt for a fresh and simple dish, then it certainly checks the box. The queso is thick, cheesy, and topped with peppers. I personally could appreciate a creamier queso, but I will say the dish looks and smells amazing. The oysters are rather small in size but they're extremely fresh and come topped with a jalapeño. My expectations for the drinks were a bit higher than what they delivered. Drinks tasted a bit watery and the flavor wasn't as potent (this says a lot for someone like myself who is pretty light weight). Service was fairly accommodating, however, keep in mind that they enforce a rule of having half of your party there prior to seating you. Also be mindful that their menu changes to dinner at 5:00PM, and seating at the outside bar may be closed depending on when you arrive. My favorite of all the dishes was the was the Al Pastor taco! I'd like to give this place another try because just based off of the aesthetic alone it has sooo much potential to be absolutely amazing!

My husband and I had dinner at Maximón a few nights ago. I'd wanted to check it out for a while,…read morebut I'm almost never in Harbor East. Maximón is the Atlas Group's Mexican/South American restaurant in the Four Seasons Building (between Azumi and Loch Bar), and it's as beautiful as you'd expect of an Atlas restaurant: high ceilings, leafy plants, pottery, gorgeous bar, great light... With Latin music playing, it fault like a beautiful and relaxing space for a Mexican meal. (They consider themselves a Mexican and South American restaurant. Other than a couple of dishes, like a more Peruvian take on a ceviche, the menu and decor read almost entirely Mexican-inspired to me). We started with a few drinks. A spicy mezcalita for him; a fruity, smoky Sotol-based cocktail for me. It's rare that we stick with a drink if ordering a second round. I almost always want to try something else or switch to wine with the meal. But both of us ordered the same for our second round - the drinks were good. Our food was less successful overall. We started with their yellowtail ceviche (with sweet potato, corn, cilantro, red onion, radish, fresno chile, and leche de tigre - the ceviche that leaved very Peruvian), which was good, but the fish was surprisingly fishy (it might have improved the dish to marinate the fish - it was more like a crudo than a ceviche as it was served, since the fish just sat on top of the leche de tigre). But it was a pretty good dish. Next up was their chile relleno appetizer (roasted poblano pepper, fresh pomegranate seeds, mozzarella, queso chihuahua, and avocado puree). This dish was pretty good (although - am I crazy or did they use a wonton wrapper rather than a flour dredge for the fried relleno?!). The relleno was simple and the cheese had a great cheese pull. The avocado puree was acidic enough to be a good accompaniment to the fried component of the dish. Next, we had two tacos. (FYI their tacos are one per order and pretty wildly expensive. The cheapest is their al pastor at $10/taco, and the most expensive is their Angus ribeye for $22/taco). We ordered one al pastor (duroc pork, pineapple, avocado salsa cruda), and one pulpo zarandeado (chile-spiced octopus, cabbage al escabeche, and salsa borracha). The filling of both tacos was pretty good, but - and this has never happened to me before - one tortilla didn't even make it one minute at our table. I picked the taco up and the tortilla just gave out - it was soggy and fell apart. I've never seen this happen with tortillas made in house and fresh. I suspect that the filling sat on the tortilla for a while before they served it (which is weird, because the food came very fast and all at once). We showed our waiter, who immediately brought us two additional tortillas so we could transfer the filling. These tortillas - when fresh and not having sat out with filling on them - were excellent. (Their menu says they source their heirloom corn for their tortillas from Oaxaca, and the flavor and texture of these replacement tacos were great.) We also ordered a side of black bean risotto (with caramelized manchego cheese), which had great flavor but very overcooked rice. Then, we shared a dessert, too - their pastel de chocolate (which they now serve with fruit to break up the rich chocolate). The dessert was okay - I wish it had much more of the guava puree, because that was so bright and delicious, but you couldn't taste it against the strong, rich flavor of the chocolate. (I also had a shot of great tequila with the dessert - their bar program really wowed me.) I absolutely have to give a shoutout to our waiter David. He was great. I started this review at three stars - the food was just inconsistent and didn't wow me - but as I was writing this paragraph on service, I knew I had to raise it to four stars. On the food alone, I might have given Maximón three stars, but at the same meal, we experienced five star service. David was friendly and helpful and was hands out the best part of our experience at Maximón. Ultimately, the food was a little underwhelming to me, but I would absolutely return to Maximón based on the quality of the drinks and that great service. Maximón has a Harbor-facing patio, which in warmer months, looks like a dream. I'd absolutely come back, request David as our waiter, and drink cocktails on the patio all evening!
