Mike Reid: For that mile high "piled high" authentic NYC corned-beef/pastrami sandwich. Long lines (out the door), so watch which day/time you go on.
Naptown 💪 Larry: The Baltimore "Coddie" is Jewish in origin, and called by some a poor man's crabcake. But if you want an "authentic" Balmore experience have a couple Coddies & wash em down with an Egg Cream soda.
Rachel L: An Authentic New York Deli Experience in Baltimore. Make sure to try the corned beef! Read more.

Mexican Restaurant · Remington · 27 tips and reviews
Leandro Lagera: Rock out with your Mexican vibe out...I mean. Great, authentic food. Isn't shy with the offerings. Great vibe. Hip, young, and ridiculous. Nothing better.
Mr. Bellamy: Food is amazing, you can taste the authentic flavor hard to find in US.
Thomas Gonzales: Chilaquiles were excellent. Try the curandero if you're in the mood for a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage.

Taco Restaurant · Fells Point · 36 tips and reviews
Greg S.: Three tacos al pastor. Very flavorful and authentic. Notably more expensive than other local taco places.
The Baltimore Sun: From our review: Tortillas are the main business, so go with the tacos or quesadillas. Ask for salsa rojo or salsa verde. Read more: http://bsun.md/Kwb1DI

Afghan Restaurant · Mount Vernon · 34 tips and reviews

Parth Agarwal: Excellent find. Very similar to indian cuisine. Took the veggie platter. Many veg options. Have nice wine collection. Nice ambience with afghani decorations.
Carolyn J.: The chocolate milkshake is amazing! Fresh, authentic, real.

Persian Restaurant · 16 tips and reviews
Ali: Persian / Middle Eastern food, awesome dishes, slightly modern takes on traditional Persian dishes, but still very authentic tastes,
Andrew Hazlett: A wonderful new option for the neighborhood and Baltimore. Meat, eggplant, anything... all good. Desserts are all made in house too.
Emily Martin: This place is off the charts in every direction -- FOOD, service, atmosphere, $, did I mention FOOD?! BYOB is a great way to keep the $ down even though it's affordable & portions are HUGE & healthy!
