Celebrating their four-year anniversary this April, Alma Cocina Latina ranks as one of Baltimore’s finest restaurants and the premier Venezuelan restaurant in the United States.

Visually light and airy in décor with tropical plants adorning the surroundings, slat back chairs are a perfect match for the walnut and teak wood tables, turquoise is the accent color of choice and the open kitchen mesmerizes one with its activity.

Read the full review and enjoy the snapshots at Dara Cooks at Baltimore Post Examiner.

From my lips to God’s ear and from Chef Jaime Luna’s lips to my ears there will be a third Mari Luna Restaurant. The paperwork is signed and the new Luna creation, Mari Luna Mexican Bistro, will be coming to you sometime in late winter 2011.
Chef Luna grabbed rave reviews on his first location, Mari Luna Mexican at Seven Mile Lane and Reisterstown Road and the remodeled Carvel location packs them in every night.
