Two lunch reviews -- Mari Luna Mexican Grill and Jimmy John's
First, a little Mari Luna disambiguation. John Lindner's review is of Mari Luna Mexican Grill, the first Mari Luna, the one in the converted Carvel ice cream store. Mari Luna Latin Grill is further up Reisterstown Road.
The new Mari Luna, is Mari Luna Bistro, just across from the Meyerhoff. There are high expectations for this one -- I'll be reviewing this one soon.
Lindner went looking for enchiladas, his "favorite Mexican comfort food" -- see how Mari Luna's stacked up for
For the record, the enchilada photograph that accompanies the online review was taken at Mari Luna Bistro, the one across from the Meyerhoff.
I never posted a link to Lindner's review of Jimmy John's, the Chicago-based sandwich shop that opened up a few months back on Pratt Street in the Inner Harbor. Here it is.
Comments
Strangely, the picture at the top of John's review of Maria Luna Mexican Grill, is actually of a table at Mari Luna Bistro. I am an enthusiastic fan of Mari Luna, in all of its incarnations. Glad to see the review was positive!
sharp eye! yes, for anyone seeing it, there was some confusion about the photo locale

The online review of Mari Luna shows 3 and 1/2 stars while the print edition has 2 and 1/2 stars. Which is correct? Since Mari Luna is my favorite restaurant in the Baltimore region I would give it 3 and 1/2. Best beef anywhere (including the big name steak houses) is the skirt steak at Mari Luna. Great ribs too. And trout. And chicken. Well you get the idea. I have never tried the enchilladas so I can't comment on them but my wife likes them.
3 1/2 is correct. We're trying to figure out how the mistake happened
