    Plato El Trovador
    Gisell G.

    Tela Mares has beautiful decorations that makes for a great atmosphere and photo-op. They have a "tunes juxebox" electronic thing so that you can play your music (you have to pay). The restaurant had no music playing but my family played some on the jukebox for the birthday boy and it set the vibe for the dinner. I ordered a tamarindo juice drink and it was absolutely amazing, the perfect amount of sweetness. I ordered the "Plato el trovador" which consists of beef, chicken fajita, shrimp and bbq ribs served with rice, beans and salad. Mexican food is my favorite therefore I can genuinely say the food was delicious. Sadly they were out of cake /deserts and this was a birthday dinner so that was a little disappointing. The food gets a solid 4/5 stars because it was delicious but I wouldn't say its the best. Not overpriced at all, very good pricing on the food. I recommend this place for dinner or birthday (mention the cake before to ensure they don't run out ahead of time)

    *Baltimore Eats* Yelp 365 Challenge x 2 #211/365 You have to trudge through and find this gem in Fells Point. I'm still silently laughing because many would consider this a hole in the wall but honestly, when you want authentic food? You need to look or ask around for this type of restaurant! It's located in the Latin community of Fells Point and that manager and his staff were sooooo nice and helpful. The restaurant is pretty roomy with Latin decor (It reminded me of San Luis, Mexico near Yuma, Arizona). What was funny was that we walk into a Latin restaurant and the music playing was Gangam Style. I ordered Taquitos for appetizers while my co-worker ordered fried plantains. Then she had the chicken fajita plate while I ordered their Jalisco platter that had enchiladas, tacos and tamales! I tell you..it was good. I didn't walk away disappointed. The price also for our entire meal was very, VERY reasonable too. I just regret that I had no room for dessert. Overall Customer Service: ¡Muy Bueno! Food: La comida era muy deliciosa Ambiance: La decoración del restaurante había un tema latino Price: El precio no era caro Recommend: Sí, este restaurante es un buen lugar para comer

    Patron Margarita

    Tried Tela Mares on the recommendation of a fellow native Californian who is also snobby about her Mexican food. The exterior of the restaurant needs some TLC. The interior however seems newly renovated. It was very clean, bright and inviting. We both had the miXed fajita platter which included chicken, steak and shrimp. So delicious and authentic!! The patron margarita also hit the spot. Totally recommend for all you foodies who love your authentic Mexican cuisine.

    Wonderfully fresh cerviche appetizer started us off.

A special thank you to Ryan and Jordan, who truly made our experience exceptional. They were welcoming, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Their friendly personalities and genuine hospitality made us feel like valued guests, and it's clear they take pride in providing excellent service. The food and drinks were fantastic, but Ryan and Jordan are what made this visit memorable. If you're looking for great seafood, a fun waterfront vibe, and service that exceeds expectations, Choptank is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

The waitress made a bunch of mistakes that she never apologized for like not bringing a bottle of wine we ordered until an hour after we sat down, accidentally ordering an additional seafood platter and not removing it from the check, not including fries with a dish that came with them, then charging us extra for them when we asked her to please bring them. In total lunch took over 3 hours when it should have been half that at most. Good help is hard to find these days it seems.

The ambience is very cute - there are multiple floors to the restaurant so one given area doesn't feel overly crowded. The cocktail menu has some fun and unique options and the food menu has something for everyone! We got the mussels to start, and honestly I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. But the sauce was delicious and I loved the potatoes that came with it. The mussels themselves were very large too! For my main I got the hake, which was so tender and flavorful. It was a generous portion and I was stuffed, but we kept seeing other people order the coffee cake and couldn't help ourselves. I'm so glad we got it, because I'm not normally huge into coffee cake, but this was so delicious that we finished it all! Our server had great recommendations and was patient as we took a long time deciding what to order. I can't wait to come back!

The oysters were so delicious and the lobster rolls were just as good. You can tell this place has a lot of history behind it, and I love the location too. It's such a vibe to sit here with a lobster roll. Their fries are also delicious -- I asked for aioli even though it doesn't come with them originally, and their housemade aioli was so worth asking for. Highly recommend doing the same! And again, apparently BTS booked the whole place out for a day!!! That should tell you everything. Would absolutely come back.

Two ciders ran us about $20, which felt reasonable for the setting and quality. We stopped in twice because we really wanted to try the bacon-wrapped goat cheese jalapeño poppers. The first time we weren't hungry enough, so we made a point to come back later and I'm glad we did. They were excellent. Not a huge portion, but it's an appetizer and felt appropriate. They were rich and well balanced, definitely a fork-and-knife situation, and worth the ~$14. The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal here. Tons of dark wood, historic character, and that old-Baltimore charm that makes you feel like the place has stories. It's warm and inviting. Perfect stop for drinks and a snack, especially on a cold day by the water. I'd absolutely go back if only for another hot rum cider and those poppers again.

I but the food was great! Between us we got a chicken sandwich topped with crab imperial which my husband loved, crab cakes which were meaty and delicious. The kids got a burger that they loved and fried shrimp which was not greasy and big and my daughter loved that. I also got an orange crush to drink and it was so good! We sat outside on a nice day and it really turned itself around. The food took a while to come out is my only complaint and with kids it got a bit iffy. They got my sons burger wrong and the fix had him eating way after everyone else. They comped a drink so that was nice but like I said the kids were melting down at that point.

    Baltimore City Restaurant week, I love you!…read more I picked this restaurant for Winter Restaurant Week Lunch and I was very happy I did. Overall I had a very very good visit. I walked in and I was greeted immediately by Kelsey. I was informed I could sit where ever I wanted to sit and on which ever level floor I chose to and they would find me and take care of me. They did just that. I chose to sit on the 2nd level because it was a little warmer up there and I was able to have time to myself to catch up on my Yelp. I was given menus immediately although I already knew what I wanted. I ordered immediately and was informed that I made great selections and great selections indeed. I ordered their Firecracker Shrimp appetizer and B.A.L.T. Sandwich as my entree. The appetizer was plated lovely! It was so tasty and good. The B.A.L.T. is where we ran into some problems, but before I get to that let me finish out the greatness. The French Fries that I received with my sandwich was so good that I stop eating my Shrimp Appetizer because I had to eat each and every one of those curly seasoned fries. They were so so so good! They didn't even need ketchup! Now, this B.A.L.T. Sandwich was so sad I think I saw it crying on my plate. I got 1 scrawny piece of bacon for each half. They gave me the entire head of lettuce and I opted not to get the avocado and mayo but 1 miserable piece of bacon on each half... heartbreaking. For that reason this place gets a 4. Only reason I didn't give them a 3 is because the young lady that assisted (Kelsey) was fantastic! She was so sweet and kind. She came at the right time all the time and each time she needs to see me she had to run upstairs to check on little old me and appeared to have no problem with it. I would definitely eat there again but no way in hell would I order that B.A.L.T. sandwich. Ultimately worth a visit Yelpers !!

Walked in at our reservation time and no one there to check us in. 2. Finally someone came back and cannot find our reservation, I should her my text messages and email to ensure we have a reservation. 3. Sat us downstairs by a high table, and that table was nasty, with sticky drink spills and marks all over, we had to clean it ourself. 4. Because we waited for 20+ minutes no server even came over to greed us...finally we waived someone down and he said he can take our order. 5. We ordered a French toast, seafood omelet, crab cake Benedict, biscuits and gravy & drinks. Drinks came out fairly fast, but we waited forever for the food. 6. I personally was not a big fan of any of the mix drinks there, way tooooo sweet. 7. After the food finally came, they are ok, not bad. 8. Then we decided to order some additional food to take with, ugh.... So regret, cause we waited for almost 30min for the takeouts. 9. Additionally, they ask us to put a credit card down to open a tab as soon as our order was taken, and charge 20% gratuity automatically , but claimed they only charge this to big parties....REALY ? There were 4 people in our party, I never heard of party of 4 was considered a large party. 10. Atmosphere, dive bar vibe, loud not in a good way, uncomfortable dining seatings. Based on our experience from this time, I have to say, sorry, we won't be returning to this place. I do not recommend this place.

The smell alone was amazing when they hit the table -- perfectly crispy with truffle seasoning and Parmesan cheese, and the citrus Parmesan aioli really took them over the top.
