Tom and I work from home and once in a while -- after staring at each other from across our shared desk for too long -- we just have to get out for lunch. Then the discussion begins about where to go. Tom whips out his handy dandy iPhone and checks the UrbanSpoon App (which is great by the way). Up pops local TacoLove Grill with a whopping 94% approval rating with rave reviews. Well, let's go!

Lucky for us, it's right up Philadelphia Road, in White Marsh, located in the newer "L" shaped shopping center just south of Allender Road. It's kind of a sleepy spot and so we were a bit apprehensive. But that all changed once we entered and were greeted by the genuinely friendly waiter, the warm red painted walls and the huge chalkboard over the counter. So cute and clean. Perfect!

But looks aren't everything, it's really the food that counts. So would TacoLove impress us? I ordered the 3 tacos with a sampling of marinated pork, chicken and fish. Tom got a burrito stuffed with huge shrimp. Delish! The waiter also gave us a trio of condiments -- a mild salsa verde, a spicier salsa and this amazing corn salsa loaded with fresh cilantro, chopped tomato and sliced green onions. I'll tell you not a smidgen of food was left!

Next was dessert. I tried so hard to be good and not to order it, but the moment the waiter suggested their homemade Chocolate Flan -- and Tom gave me that look of his that says "Oh, come on!" -- I succumbed. Wow, it was so good. The flan sat atop a spongy chocolate cake soaked with some sort of subtly sweet liquid and little drizzles of a raspberry sauce. Ummmmhhhhh....

That afternoon we casually mentioned it to our oh so jealous kids and so the next night I ordered more food over the phone and they delivered!! Jackpot! No more pizza for this family (well, maybe not so much). Then, come to find out a bunch of my friends and neighbors have told me they also love it! One friend in particular is a real foodie, so that's a good endorsement. To make it all the much better, it's BYOB. And for delivery you can even order online.

So come on, show some love to TacoLove. They really deserve the all the business they can get.

There’s a reason most take out joints only have a seat or two, it’s cause the food's so bad they want to get you out of there ASAP before you taste it! But then there’s the select few where the food blows you away and rises far above the take out realm. It’s food that deserves to be served in a finer restaurant. These finds, that serve awesome food at such reasonable prices, are gems.
