Clavel - Baltimore

Outstanding neighbourhood restaurant, that anyone should be thrilled to call a local. It?s super busy but maintains good order and pleasant buzz. Food is ace, with maybe a little lack of refinement here and there, but you?ve got to really try hard to find anything wrong. Well pitched drinks list, and good service. It?s fun, the food is good, place looks and feels great

When we arrived, we were told it would be an hour and forty-five minutes wait. I was so turned off at this point. The hosted suggested we go two doors down and have a drink and appetizers. I went but my mood was thrown off. Baby I got that first margarita???? and I loosened up. That drink was absolutely delicious ???? About an hour and twenty minutes in we received notice our table was ready. The server came over quickly and introduced herself. In a packed to the backdoor

So delicious! these tacos are incredible, the margarita is perfection (and they can use some special add-ins,) and the queen and side of the black bon are both *cooks kiss*. the menu is a bit overwhelming and there is a quantity that is unfamiliar (especially the cocktail menu) so it can be a good idea to see a feeling for it. my only complain is that it is extremely loud in the restaurant, so groups are demanding. I went with about 8 people and we had a very hard time communication, so it is probably best for smaller groups / couples.

Strong contender for the best restaurant in Baltimore. An absolute favorite. My friends and I have dined here more times than we can count. Aguachile rojo is my favorite ceviche probably ever. Fantastic cocktails too. Every single thing on the menu is delicious. These guys know what they’re doing.

Our family of four enjoyed an excellent meal at Clavel. We started with guacamole and queso fundido con rajahs with their fresh cooked tortilla chips The chips are thick and great for dipping. Two shared the Aguachile Ceviche which had striped bass and shrimp with 3 salsas on the side. The others had Tacos de la Tierra. One each of Puerco Pabil, Barbacoa, Rajas Vegetario, and huitlacoche. We were full but went ahead and ordered flan and tres leches cake. The margaritas were delicious. All the food was interesting, well-prepared, and tasty service was excellent and for all the food and drinks, the price wasn’t bad at all
