Restaurante Tio Pepe

"This is vintage Baltimore at its finest. My family has been coming here for decades. The atmosphere is cozy, a wine cellar/Hogwarts banquet kind of vibe, and the staff are always friendly. The food isn’t flashy but the flavors and cook temps are on point. There’s an off menu dish that is a must try, don’t quote the spelling but I think it’s called the “Emilio’s Milliono”. It’s crab meat cooked with lobster then stuffed back in the lobster shell, and a bunch other stuff. Worth inquiring about. Spanish coffee and pine nut roll for desert, call it a day."

"Fantastic food. Had this place on my list forever and was super excited to book here for restaurant week. The service was fantastic and we loved our meals. Definitely a pricey date night but worth it!"

"Tio Pepe's restaurant is a long lasting Baltimore tradition. Unfortunately, the front door is not wheelchair accessible since it's down a short flight of stairs. I'm told that there's a way for wheelchair riders to access Tio Pepe's through an alternative entrance. Call in advance to find out how to activate entry by wheelchair if that's needed. The walls are whitewashed rough stone with little arches between the various small and medium rooms. Because of the rough stone walls and the relatively small rooms, the sound level in the various dining areas is pleasantly quiet so it's easy to hear what your dining companions are saying. The service was good, and the variety of menu items was excellent. I had a very good steak, a Spanish cream of onion soup, and a Tio Pepe's salad. The steak came with sauteed string beans and rice. Parking is in a multilevel parking structure across the street. The price of parking is reasonable. Tio Pepe's is a bit on the pricey side. I recommend it."

"This is an Experience, not like any other restaurant. MUST try if you are in the Baltimore area. It is wonderful to chat with the staff, some who have been there for over 30+ years. Sangria was very tasteful and fresh! For sure going to be going back for more, maybe on an anniversary or special occasion. PS, they have a secret menu, must try the chocolate soufflé (make sure to order with entree for preparation time)"

"Was recommended, loved the low ceiling roof, arch hallways, the jamón with melon was the best when it comes to the food. The Pork chop could have been better prepared, the tomato mushroom sauce overpower the pork chop. Next time I come to town I'll give it another try. Great service by the staff. Thank you."
