" Clavel is indeed a gem! I loved the authenticity in the flavors presented in their dishes. The seafood tacos are particularly outstanding! We were lucky to find a table soon and the service was friendly. I also appreciated the variety of drinks on the menu; they have unique cocktails that are hard to find elsewhere. The atmosphere is vibrant with great energy, though it does get quite crowded during peak hours. I will definitely return to try even more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Clavel is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore now! From the moment you enter, you're greeted with a bustling atmosphere that showcases the authentic vibe of Mexican culture. We tried a variety of tacos, each boasting unique flavors, and I particularly loved the shrimp taco. The handmade tortillas made a big difference in texture! The drink selection here is also impressive, and I highly recommend the margaritas. One slight downside was our server seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, but overall, we had a great experience. Definitely worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Clavel, and it was an unforgettable experience! We tried their queso dip, which was creamy and flavorful, and the variety of tacos was fantastic. Each customer has different favorites; mine was the lamb taco while my spouse loved the fish option. The service was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was lively and definitely fitting for a fun family dinner. I will recommend this place to our friends, but a heads up on the parking situation, which can get a bit stressful. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for authentic Mexican food, look no further than Clavel! The food was packed with flavor, and you could tell they use high-quality ingredients. I loved their queso fundido as a starter; it was creamy, cheesy, and very satisfying. The tacos did not disappoint either; the variety of options makes it hard to choose just one! Service was friendly, but we did experience a slight wait for drinks. Overall, Clavel deserves its title as one of Baltimore’s best dining spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible experience at Clavel last week! As a former resident of Southern California, I often miss authentic Mexican flavors, but this place truly delivers. The tacos are out of this world - I recommend the carne asada and shrimp versions. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a date night. The service was delightful too; our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Clavel has an amazing vibe and fantastic food. Their tacos are some of the best I’ve had in Baltimore, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The ceviche was refreshing and just the right amount of kick! My only complaint would be the wait time for a table, as it can get quite busy. Still, the experience is well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was fortunate enough to visit Clavel while on vacation, and what a treat it was! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt like I was transported to a lively taqueria in Mexico. The decor is quaint and chic, and the drinks are crafted to perfection - I recommend the mezcal flight! As for food, the ceviche stole the show; it was fresh and tangy with a generous serving size. I thought the tacos were great as well, but I was hoping for a bit more unique variety. Nevertheless, the friendly service and fantastic cocktails made up for it. A must-visit for anyone in Baltimore! " (*Curated Review*)
