The place is super cute with a bunch of lights indoors, and the service was good! Our server checked up on us a good amount and the food came out really quickly! I like the options they have for tacos - I wish the menu was a little bigger since they only have tacos/a few seafood tapas but for what they have - amazing! The margs were also strong but yummy - theres a huge tequila & mezcal menu!

Clavel always delivers. Only been here three times, but it's one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore city. The whole place is just a vibe - esthetic on point. They do not take reservations, so prepare to wait. They have bar seating right next door where you can wait, or better yet, check out their speakeasy just down the street (WC Harlan). Great drinks and the dark, cool, and intimate atmosphere is fun! Back to Clavel - can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The portions are on the smaller end, so plan ahead! Service was great, despite it being a bustling Sat night. One of my favorites is their torta - so good! If you want to avoid waiting, come as soon as they open and they'll get you seated quickly.

I don't go to Clavel often, but when I go... it's on my birthday. I have been meaning to go for a long time, but not being able to make reservations makes it difficult. I decided to go on a Monday, and it was excellent! Their aguachile ceviche was delicious, although I was unsure about the raw shrimp (I'm usually okay with everything raw... except shrimp). Their queso fundido and cocktail of the day were excellent. It can get pretty loud, so if you are looking to have conversation on a date, maybe go somewhere else and save it for the second or third date haha.

We decided to go here after catching a movie at the Charles Street theater. Its a James Beard 2024 finalist for it's bar. While I didn't get a drink this evening my boyfriend did try one of their mocktails and I enjoyed the flavor profile on it. Its a mezcaleria as well if mezcals are your thing. We shared the butterflied shrimp aguachile and let me tell you as spicy as it was it was also delicious. But yeah I think I finished a bottle of water by myself. I got the lamb and beef barbacoa and the shrimp tacos whilst my boyfriend got the vegetarian tacos on offer. Everything was good but the red salsa they served with the vegetarian tacos was also scorching hot. We did have to share a tres leches cake to cool down at the end. Their spice levels for the salsas are no joke. No reservations; we were walk ins around 9pm on a Saturday night. Indoor dining was an hour wait, but luckily they had available spots outside. As warm as it was there was no sun beating down on us. My only feedback would be to maybe invest in some stand fans for outdoor diners during summer time.
