Alma Cocina Latina - Baltimore

The best restaurant in Baltimore! Those who are complaining about the portion sizes clearly haven't experienced fine dining before. It's not about the quantity, but the quality. The cocktails are fantastic, and the service is exceptional!

A five star experience for sure! One of the best meals I?ve ever had. I?ve heard all the accolades about this place, including the Washington post, so I decided to check it out for myself. I don?t live nearby (in dc area) but made the hour drive, In rush hour, to get here at a decent hour. They open at 5. I got there a little before 6 so I was able to take advantage of their happy hour. The selection for happy hour was small. I opted for the daiquiri off that menu and it was amazing! Only $6 so that was a great deal. I ordered the Latin gyoza, which I heard great things about, and was blown away. It had sweet plantain, bacon, sofrito and cotija cheese with a ginger tamirind soy sauce and seaweed fritters! I ordered another cocktail that was fantastic too. For my main course, I went with the paella. Absolutely incredible! It had Argentinian shrimp, octopus and scallops. Ended with churros for dessert. Overall, An incredible experience with great service. Charlie, my bartender, was fantastic! I can?t recommend this place enough. Definitely worth checking out!

Loved our experience. The bar was swamped and we found delays for drinks, but the service certainly made up for it. Very high quality of food as well. Worth the price and anything else you need to go through to get a reservation at this lovely restaurant. Lastly, the hostess was amazing from start to finish, and we can't wait to come back!

Words can't express how amazing this dining experience was. It's more than just a place to eat. The ambiance makes you feel like you are on an island and then they bring out the food. Oh baby! We had the tostones and ceviche to start. The mango slaw on the tostones is so good I almost ordered another. For our entrees we had the duck magnet and the octopus. The presentation was awesome but the flavor was PHENOMENAL. We ended with the Tres Leche and the Churros. When you go get both and don't share. Lol! The rum flight was also amazing. The staff and service are top notch! I will be going back again because there I want to try the entire menu.

Cute and well decorated location! The decorations inside made you feel like you were eating on an outdoor patio with all the trees/plants and brightness. The drinks were extremely well crafted and thoughtful. I loved their selection of rums and the way they mixed them in the cocktails brought a lot of flavor to the drinks and complexity. I thought the oysters were just okay. The red snapper ceviche and yuccas bravas were extremely well seasoned and flavorful. The esquites were just okay kind of bland in my opinion. I think the tostones were the best thing we ordered. Finally, the churros were really well made and fresh. My only gripe with this place and the reason it wasn't a 5 Star is because the pricing is exorbitant for the size of the plates. I think this place is great and delicious but the prices definitely don't match the amount of food you're getting.
