Filipino Food: Mama Rosa Grill
Craving something bold, comforting, and cooked with the kind of love only a Filipino kitchen can deliver?
Mama Rosa Grill on Annapolis Road is Baltimore’s go-to corner for authentic Filipino home cooking; the type that hits you with nostalgia even if you didn’t grow up eating it.
The moment you walk in, you’re met with the smell of garlic sizzling in the wok, crispy pork fresh out of the fryer, and warm steam rising from trays of pancit, adobo, and sinigang. It’s the kind of aroma that grabs you by the hand and whispers, “Eat now. Worry later.”
This place is more than a restaurant — it’s a mini taste of Manila tucked right into the city.
