So I came here on a trip to Maryland and let me just say this place was amazing. The Sprite was perfectly sweet and refreshing. The chips and queso were really good. The salsa had a kick to it. The street corn ribs were immaculate to say the least. Coming down to the Birria tacos they were so good... especially the dipping broth. The tacos were packed with flavor and so cheesy. They were so damn good. I would and will most definitely be coming back here. The only thing I could complain about was the waitresses and waiters were kind of slow. Other than that I highly recommend coming here.
First time visiting La Food Marketa! We had a big group and I'm impressed with how efficient and friendly the staff were. I was a bit frozen as I did not know what to order off the large menu, but I'm glad I ended up with the blackened fish burrito bowl. The salmon was seasoned and cooked well, and the portion was generous. Looks like they have a lot of vegetarian options as well, which will bode well when I return with my spouse in the future.
Hidden little gem in pikesville! Menu has plenty of classics with a spin added to enhance the flavor- chill atmosphere as well.
marketa absolutely never disappoints. they are always adding new seasonal things to their menu and keeping it fresh. there are SO many options and plenty for kids, vegetarians, picky eaters, etc. their pan de queso is superb and street cauli is always a hit. free piece of cake for bday/special occasion. big parking lot & street parking too. indoor & outdoor seating with umbrellas. it can get a bit loud inside w music so keep that in mind. our service was quick and very attentive! my only complaint is that half of the servers were not wearing any sort of apron or uniform to identify them. they looked like they were customers and some of their outfits were a bit revealing and not "work appropriate" even in a casual restaurant like this. i will always love this place and continue to come back!!! must try.
We came in for the taco tuesday deals. The tacos were very good and we could have done another plate. The nachos were prepared well , just remember to ask for a protein with your nachos if you want meat in the nachos. The restaurant is very lively on tuesdays for the deals. Would recommend
Decided to stop here after a recent Ortho appointment for lunch. The staff was very accommodating to seat us close to the door because I was recently given crutches and I honestly was trying to adjust. The restaurant was not busy so our male waiter was very attentive to us. He recommended the corn ribs which was the star of the meal selection. The food came out pretty quickly and everything was on point. The outdoor ramp was excellent for me to slowly adjust to entering and exiting the building on crutches. I will definitely return when back in the area.
Definitely a MUST TRY. After doing some shopping , I decided to stop by and give the place a try . I got there right when the doors opened at 12pm . The place is large in the inside with plenty of sitting either at the bar or in dining area and very clean . I decided to sit at the bar . The bartender was real cool. The calamari is by far my favorite it was made to perfection . The tacos( turkey , fish and pulled pork ) were beyond fulfilling . The strawberry margarita was just an added bonus . Definitely would go back .
Stopped in for dinner because we were in the area and have had La Food Marketa on our list to try for awhile. We got the street corn ribs at the servers recommendation, they were really great! I'm not sure what I was expecting but these were awesome. We got pumpkin and prickly pear margaritas, because fall. The prickly pear was really sweet, the pumpkin had some fall spices and was the winner of the drink round. My husband got the birria tacos which he liked a lot. His only complaint was that the duo they come with was more like a beef broth/jus for a French dip, it didn't taste like it had much in the way of flavor/spices like other birria sauces he's had. They were still really tasty. I had the short rib tacos which were good. I'm not a big fan of the house salsa (it tastes like cocktail sauce to me, pls don't come for me its me, hi I'm the problem its me). Since the short rib tacos have the salsa on them the flavor of the short rib was a little overwhelmed by the salsa for me. The meat was tender and my tacos didn't fall apart (always a win) so overall they were good, but I'd probably try something else next to around. We had two kiddos under 5 with us, they each got hotdogs (huge, grilled dogs) we cut them up to make them edible for the kiddos and they were big fans. They also had shoestring fries (yum)! I love that LFM had a kids menu that our [very picky...we're working on it] kids would actually eat. We attempted to do the fluffernutter churros for dessert but they were out. We wound up electing to get churros anyway and the kitchen added marshmallow and sprinkles onto the plate which our kids loved! Overall we enjoyed the experience but would opt for the OG Food Market (sans kids) given the choice.
Came with a few friends to try out the "amazing" Taco Tower. And boy, was it a lot! We were a table of 5 and struggled towards the end to finish, but we did it. We tried the birria , short rib, and carnitas tacos. Can't say much for flavor, but the quantity was definitely there. Our favorite parts of the tower was the cheese bread (gluten free!), Corn ribs and the queso & chips. Chips are thin and made fresh, still warm when they arrive to the table. The mocktails were great. I ordered the Colada Lemonade, which was basically Pina colada mixed with lemonade. Superb. The server was great. Attentive, friendly and fast on her toes.
Checked out this restaurant for restaurant week! They had tons of great options for appetizers, main course, and dessert. It was hard to choose. My friend and each got different items so we could try a few! Everything we got was delicious, both of our favorites was the duck birra! It was meaty and perfectly seasoned and he cheese dip that came with the chips and salsa really made it perfect. The service was great, we made reservations ahead of time in case the place was busy. We were seated right away and were brought water. Our waters were continuous topped off (huge fan of, because I drink tons of water). The ambiance was great, friendly atmosphere and great crowd of people. I would definitely come back here to try their regular menu!
