There’s nothing better than street food in Baltimore, and this food truck proves that point. The lack of Mexican cuisine in the food truck industry created a passion for showing the Baltimoreans the culture. The most popular menu item is the birria queso tacos with the marinade made straight from mama’s family recipe.
Ekiben

Here at Ekiben, the twist on Asian fusion is unique and simple. The energy is high, and the food is made with the freshest ingredients that produce rich flavors. Named after the bento boxed meal that is sold at train stations in Japan, this establishment creates unique dishes. People come for the best sandwich around, the Neighborhood Bird. The steamed bun takes three days to make and is a family secret, so don’t ask!
Clark Burger

Clark Burger in Baltimore is a Canadian-inspired restaurant that serves burgers, poutine and fries. There is always one Canadian on site in case the customer asks.

Come enjoy this northern hospitality.
