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 · 28 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.
Ryan Leggett: Really cute little restaurant that was very accommodating to our larger group. Don't miss the queso, the quesadillas, and the mezcal!

South American Restaurant · Canton · 27 tips and reviews
Leandro Lagera: Beautiful and authentic. Loved my drink and arepa. Awesome place to people watch
John Baker: The food is the most authentic Venezuelan we've had and my wife is from there. The cocktails are amazing as well! only thing to watch out for is that the kitchen seems stops an hour before closing.
Jonathan Knox: On Sundays they do a prix fixe menu only. The burrata, Latin gyoza, chicken and octopus are delicious. They make a fantastic margarita also.

Burger Joint · Northern Baltimore · 20 tips and reviews
BaltimoreGal: Poutine is authentic (aka it's the gravy you'll love.)
Colin Kendall: Burgers, poutine and sauce game on point. Truffle Mayo = 👌 ... Highly recommend.

Afghan Restaurant · Mount Vernon · 34 tips and reviews
Marta Lynne Schantz: This place is super authentic and absolutely delicious! Dessert wasn't very good though, not worth getting.
Deborah Tsuchida: Authentic hidden gem, owned by Karzai's bro Qayum. The blend of spices in every dish was uniquely delish, incl their special Afghan ice cream for dessert. Can't wait to try out their Boston location!
Cristina González Alcalá: What a nice find. Food was intriguing, with a nice balance of exotic spices hitting on multiple notes. Service was excellent! Yes to pumpkin app, veggie platter (get a good sampling) & ice cream.
Carolyn J.: The chocolate milkshake is amazing! Fresh, authentic, real.
Bill Helman: Great coffee, and a great staff. The WiFi gets a little spotty when it's crowded, but it's still one of my work-from-home spots.

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,
Morgan Morreale: Really happy to find a yummy Mediterranean restaurant in Towson. Chicken shish kebab was super tasty and I'd highly recommend. Hummus and pita were great to start as well
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!
