Ole Latin Kitchen — Restaurant in Annapolis

It’s 2023. Read that again. How are you racist in 2023. We are an interracial military couple and while racism is rare for us, it’s unfortunately still a possibility. We have passed “Ole Latin Kitchen” multiple times when going to pick our daughter up from school. We had extra time so we decided to stop and give it a try! As we were pulling in the employee at the window was smiling and laughing while handing a customer food. We walk up and the employee disappears somewhere inside the truck. No problem. We are looking at the menu. After a couple minutes we start to wonder if she possibly didn’t see us walk up so I walk over to the truck door that is open. She’s just standing there hiding! I made eye contact with her and gave her a polite little wave. She turned away from me! I walked back over to my husband and told him that I think she’s hiding from us. We were very confused and gave her a minute or two. Maybe she had social anxiety?? She finally came out with a scowl and opened the window. She didn’t say anything, just stared at me. It was a very awkward moment. I finally told her “hello, we are here to order food…”. She said nothing. Just looked disgusted at us. My husband who knows multiple languages asks her if the food truck is open in Spanish. She refuses to look at him and says yes. At this point this interaction has become extremely uncomfortable. I try and shrug it off. I say “Can we get the street tacos…” as I was about to list the meats she cuts me off and says “we don’t have any”. My husband asks her “You don’t have any street tacos?? We haven’t even told you what kind?” She very obviously refuses to look at him and says “No”. She then continues to keep scowling at us. We very uncomfortably walk away back to our car and she slams the window. We just sat in our car in shock. Needless to say we will never go back. It’s just sad that people harbor so much hate...

Glad I stopped here. I had skipped breakfast, and saw two Latin food trucks outside of the American Legion post on Forest Drive, on my way to Clock Tower Shops. I got two pupusas from Ole Latin. One spinach/cheese, one pork beans & cheese. Both great. Packaged really well for takeout. Had a mild sauce in a separate bag, very tasty. Also, a tomato and onion slaw that I didn't try. The lady running it was super polite, told me it would be 7 min., and was right on time, and gave me a pamphlet. She thanked me for trying them. It was snowy today, so likely slower for them. Prices were reasonable, $2.50 per pupusa, also have quesadillas, tacos, burritos and combo plates with prices into low teens. I would stop...

The food here is fantastic. Authentic and delicious, the food from this truck is spot on. I can only give them 3 stars however because I wanted to try the fries but they were out...I ordered the handmade tamales BUT they didn't put them in the bag despite me paying for them. In this day and age, they only accept cash or Zelle as payment which is somewhat annoying. They have good food but need to tighten...
