Don Tigre Mexican Cuisine Bar is now open at 900 E. Fort Ave. in Locust Point. Don Tigre takes over a restaurant space in Anthem House that was previously Taco Mama.
Neel Kamal, a partner of the former Taco Mama, brought on Oscar Rodriguez last week to run the day-to-day operations at Don Tigre. Rodriguez is a native of Mexico and owns La Cabana Restaurant in Southeast Baltimore. He and his wife got their start running a taco cart, and he said running a restaurant like Don Tigre is his dream. Their children are part of the Don Tigre team as well.
Rodriguez created a new menu with a focus on tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, birria, Mexican sandwiches called tortas, and a Mexican take on burgers. Every table starts out with homemade chips and salsa with an option to order guacamole made at the guacamole bar.
