Top 100 places to eat Yelp 2023 award. Great food, even better prices. I tried chicken & el-pastor tacos & it was delicious. Horchata was amazing too. No restroom inside, parking is outside on street. Very small restaurant but pretty good service & food. Chips & salsa was bomb! Salsa is not for faint hearted ! It was spicy ????️ ???? i loved it overall.

Authentic hole in the wall with an extensive menu. This place is always packed. It’s a neighborhood favorite with trucks lining the street at lunch and dinner. No alcohol, real Mexican coke in a glass bottle or horchata.

Good service, fresh flavorful food at a great price. The perfect small “come as you are” spot. Definitely coming back! Service was great. Two of the three of us are vegetarian and there was only one vegetarian option on the menu but our server worked with us to figure out alternative options. The salsa was fresh and tangy, guacamole was awesome, and the hot sauce was actually hot and paired perfectly with the tacos. Both of the main plates were great. Flavorful and well cooked without feeling oily or overdone. Everything felt like real home cooking. Amazing meal for only $27! Definitely will be back!

The tacos and nachos the food in general is really good here . It tastes fresh and tasty . The price is responsible for the portion size and freshness . The staff is friendly . The place is small like a hole in the wall . It’s more of a takeout place although you can eat inside . The vibe is overall welcoming . They have parking ????️ next door so it’s not an issue .

Truly the best authentic taquería in the Boston area. Not only is their food consistent and tasty, but their welcoming stuff will make you feel right at home. I have gone consistently in the past 6 months, twice per month at least, and my personal favorites as the 'Tacos dorados', 'quesadilla', and any of the burritos. Be prepared to wait if you go at 'food rush' hour as the place is truly small and there will be a wait.

Best tacos in the Boston area. I’ve been coming for over 10 years and have never had a bad meal. Staff is super friendly and service is quick. I always go with tacos especiales with cabeza, but everything on the menu is great. Cozy inside so if you have a big group, get your food to go. A not so hidden anymore gem!

Ah yes, so many good memories of the food from this place. It's a small restaurant with food that has big flavor, one of the best places to get takeout in the area if you ask me. I had the carnitas burrito and while I feel like maybe there was a little too much lettuce in there, it was delicious. The pork was perfect, one could call it perfect pork. The little containers of hot sauce that comes with the food is so good, highly recommend putting some on a few bites, but keep in mind this hot sauce has a bit of a kick!
