J.C. Romero's Neighborhood Cafe — Restaurant in Baltimore

As a fat kid the first pastrami sandwich I can recall having was late last century in... 1987ish? In Los Angeles California. It was from a deli on the corner of Colorado and Orange, which is technically in Pasadena, California now that I think of it.

At anyrate, I share this with you because after 40 years experience eating pastrami I've had enough to lay the pickles end to end from the earth to the moon.

10 out of 10.

This pastrami on rye was a 10 out of 10. Not a 9.5 or 9.99 but an absolute 10/10.

Comes on rye, which i dont even like, but I took the dare and ordered it and walaaa! 10/10.

Pair it with some Utz OG chips and an A&W Root beer (honestly hadn't had one of those in a decade) and.....wait for it...all under $10 bucks. The meal was like $9.58 or something. I didn't take a photo of the reciept cause I didn't know it was going to be such a great sandwich.

How did it taste? The juicy details? Go get one yourself as my fingers lack the vocabulary to speak in behalf of my taste buds other than say, f'n 10/10.

Lastly, Cesar is the owner. Super f'n nice. Welcoming, friendly and engaging....

I recently had the pleasure of visiting J.C. Romero's Neighborhood Cafe, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the friendly smiles of the staff. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with soft jazz playing in the background and comfortable seating that made it the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon.The menu offered a variety of options, from classic espresso beverages to unique, signature blends that catered to every taste bud. I opted for their house special, a velvety cappuccino that was expertly crafted and served with a beautiful latte art on top. The taste was rich and satisfying, a testament to the quality of their coffee beans.What truly set this cafe apart, though, was the attention to detail and personalized service. The sandwich was delicious. I recommend this wonderful place to anybody.. it's a good place for families, friends, lovers to sit,...

Found this hidden gem when searching for a new spot to try food for lunch/dinner. All the positive reviews & great sounding food on the menu made up my mind that this is where I was going immediately.

Upon arrival, I was met with a blast from the past with a mom and pop feel. I loved it. It was homey, clean, and plenty of sunshine coming through the front windows. Both owners greeted me with very warm hospitality.

I ordered a mix of a few sandwiches, drinks, and a pizza. Everything was as I expected; fresh, tasty, and great portions, all for a really great price.

Thanks to the reviews and even better experience in person, I’ve found a new spot that I will be regular for. Hats off to the owners who were genuine, kind, and so down to earth. I...
