Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Tacos Coming to Downtown 

R&R Taqueria, a popular Elkridge Taco restaurant that started in a gas station and has been featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, is opening a location Downtown at 30 Light St. in early 2018 according to the Baltimore Business Journal. From the article:

Rodrigo Albarran, the chef and owner, said he was attracted to the downtown site because of its “great location and design.” The space joins Cilantro and Subway on the first floor of a garage that sits across from 100 Light St.

Albarran said he hopes to open between March and May. This location will serve alcohol, and R&R is in the process of securing a liquor license, Albarran said. It does not serve alcohol at its two other locations.

R&R also has a location in Perry Hall.

Join Baltimore’s premier circus company and travel back to a time of powdered wigs, satin shoes, and a completely dysfunctional household staff. As the holidays near, the eager butler tries desperately to ready the household for the extravagance the season brings. All ages are sure to be amazed as the butler, maid, baker, and ladies of the house perform acts on aerial apparatuses, the spinning Cyr wheel, hand balancers, and more. The finale will please those with a sweet tooth, as – what’s a holiday without a Yule Log dessert?

The show will be presented twice at Mobtown Ballroom on Saturday, December 9, 2017. The matinee will be at 2:00 PM and the evening show at 7:30 PM.
