Best of Baltimore Winner

Thank you, Baltimore Magazine!

Lunch (Casual) There were a few skeptical eyebrows when Max’s Empanadas, 313 S. High Street, 410-547-7900, brought Argentine fare into Little Italy. What could this upstart be thinking, coming into the land of pasta and spaghetti sauce? But the risk has paid off. The storefront offers the South American country’s traditional savory turnovers, paninis, salads, and native desserts in a tiny, bright space with several tables and chairs in the back. It’s a bargain, too. Empanadas stuffed with yummy ingredients like spicy chorizo, ham and cheese with green olives, and spinach with mozzarella are $3.15 each. Pair one with a primavera salad for $5.99.
