The atmosphere is very pleasant and the attention is wonderful.
Today we had the pleasure of having two delicious papelon with lemon courtesy of the house. Grateful?????“

“La Fabrica Central is one of my Latino cuisine restaurants in MA. I’m never disappointed. This time, a group of 5 people went to celebrate a birthday and everyone left so happy and satisfied.

The food is always delicious and the presentation is on point! Recently, our group of people ordered different dishes so we could try different things. The salmon with passion fruit sauce, ceviche mixto, mofongo con camarones, y la chuleta kan kan were delicious. I don’t eat pork, but the chuleta kan kan looked so good that I had to try it. Wow, it was cooked to perfection! The meat was so moist and the skin/cuerito was so good. Every single dish was delicious. The tres leche cake was delicious and the staff sang happy birthday. Throughout the visit, the staff was very attentive and fast.

As a bonus, they have live Latin music on the weekends and you can dance if you wish. They earned their 5 stars! ⭐️“

“Enjoyed a meal with friends at Mestizo. Food, drinks, and service were excellent. Loved the salsa experience as the salsa was different than the average you would get on the table and full of delicious tomatoes and roasted garlic. Our favorites were the enchiladas, tuetano, carnitas, and salmon con mole verde. Their bar program is fantastic. Recommend going when DJ Lee is there.“

“I had a great experience at Beantown Taqueria! The food overall was phenomenal — super flavorful, fresh, and definitely authentic.

I tried the flan, and while it was a little different from what I’ve had elsewhere, it was still good — just a unique twist. The horchata was decent too, though it tasted more like cinnamon milk than traditional horchata. A bit watered down, if that makes sense. Not a dealbreaker at all — just something small they could tweak.

The portion sizes were great, and even though you’re paying Cambridge prices, I felt like the quality and experience were totally worth it. I really don’t have anything negative to say — just a couple minor things that could be improved.

I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for solid, authentic Mexican food in the area!“

“I happen to be working in the area the day I stopped in for a bite. Little did I know this was going to be become my go to spot for the foreseeable future. Not only is the food awesome, the service was great and it was so clean you could eat off the floor. You can tell whoever owns it, truly loves what they do.“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“We came here for dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We tried the Birria Taco, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco, pork taco, Nachos steak fried, Pupuas and Churros. The Birria taco was juicy and tender. Pupuas was cheesy and delicious. We also tried some tequila and margaritas. Everything was great. Would come back“

“So yummy and fresh! Didn’t mind the wait because I came right at lunch when there were a lot of preordered food. The fresh juice was delicious too. Definitely more flavorful and delicious than going to subway next door!The chef was very friendly too, felt homey!

Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff

Wheelchair accessibility: Might be difficult to get in/maneuver“

“Can’t rate this place high enough! Clean, friendly service, abundance of options, but the food? The food is beyond incredible! Had the breakfast tacos and my husband had the Colombian breakfast. Omg, it was incredible!“

“I have eaten here many times and the food is incredible. While the bowls are fairly expensive, they’re not much more than a Chipotle or Qdoba bowl and they give you way more food. The food is delicious, I especially love their maduros. The lady working the counter when I’ve been is incredibly nice! Their coffee and juices are also very good and they make it right in front of you. Would highly recommend for Dominican food“

“This was my six-year-old’s choice for his birthday dinner! We used to frequent the South End location and since that one closed, we got delivery from Brookline. He wanted to write a review. His review is ‘they are the best cookers in the world.’ He also wants to give the meal seven stars. The food was great as usual! My go-to is the pabellon criollo, delicious and filling! Will have to come by and dine in soon.“

“Gran Sabor PUERTO Riqueño un buen servicio , al cliente muy exquisitos sabor y las alcapurrias, no salamente te comes una compras mas de tan ricas que son ,muy profecionales en atender con recpeto.“

“Bocadillos catered my daughter's college graduation party in our home. The food dictated the theme! Year after year, my daughter has followed their "Empanda Truck" at the Snow Port in Boston. Last winter, she insisted that I go too, just so I could taste the empanadas. They were absolutely mouth wateringly delicious!!!! So much so that when it came time to choose who would cater her grad party, the choice was easy! Since Carribean/Latin American food was the menu, we complimented it by hosting a full blown Fiesta with a margarita bar and more for 40 people! We had the food prepared in advance and everything was delicious and piping hot! Our host/chef added to the fastivities with his knowledge of the food, his kindness, and his sense of humor. The cost was very reasonable as well. WARNING: Once you have these empanadas, you will never be able to eat anyone elses again.

Vegetarian options: My favorite empanada is vegetarian!!! And I'm not a vegetarian. My favorite is the corn & cheese, and my second favorite is the black bean.“

“Although not the classical recipes for Tacu Tacu or Locro, their interpretation of both dishes were superb. The Causa Limeña was indeed very much like the original Causa limeña and their Peruvian drinks and deserts (Suspiro Limeño and Lúcuma Mousse) were absolutely fabulous. Gonzalo, our server was awesome!“

“This place had the best chicken Parmesan we had ever eaten. I’m so glad we stumbled upon this place that was not too far from our hotel. Our waitress was so kind and attentive.“

“Las mejores empanadas ,deliciosas 👌👏“

“Great place for date night.“

“So much fun, great food choices and exemplary staff! 10/10 😊“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“Best empanadas in town! I love the argentina the most but all are delicious. Quick service and friendly people in a great location! Highly recommend.

Vegetarian options: The meatless empanadas are uniquely tasty!

Kid-friendliness: Options that even kids will love“

“This authentic Brazilian restaurant delivers an outstanding culinary experience with flavorful, well-prepared dishes that truly reflect Brazil’s rich food culture. The natural juices are especially refreshing and made fresh to order, perfectly complementing the vibrant meals. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Brazilian flavors.“

“Delicious with quick friendly service. Gracias“

“I took my mom to tita’s kitchen for dinner and we both enjoyed it so much. We could smell the aroma of the restaurant from down the street. It smelled so delicious! The food definitely lived up to the great smells. We got tacos and a carne asada plate. I will be back and I will recommend anyone to visit Tita’s Kitchen for some yummy authentic Guatemalan/Mexican food. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“This is a “spanish” bar first and foremost. They have small tables if you want to sit and have something to eat. The interior needs a big time refresh but don't judge the place by it's appearance. The beer is cold and very affordable. The food is GREAT!! If you like typical Colombian food - this place is a home run!! Did I mention that the beer was cold and very affordable??! :-) It would get 5 stars from me if the interior wasn't so old.“

“I had the opportunity to enjoy lomo saltado and chicharrón with tostones at "El Kiosko." The flavor combination was exceptional, highlighting the juiciness of the lomo and the crispness of the chicharrón. The presentation was impeccable, and each bite reflected the attention to detail in the kitchen. I definitely give it a 5/5. A highly recommended culinary experience.

“First time, wife and I had chicken nachos and tacos de birria. Everything was delicious and great. Definitely going back and this is our new place 😊“

“(Translated by Google) Well, for the first time, I loved the scrambled pupusa and the coffee. Moderate prices (cheap) and spectacular food. The girl who served me, very friendly. When I visit Boston, I'll be back there. Thanks, excellent quality!(Original)Bueno, para ser la primera vez, me encantó la pupusa revuelta y el café. Precios módicos( baratos) y la comida espectacular. La chica que me atendió, muy amable. Cuando visite Boston, vuelvo para allá. Gracias, excelente calidad!!!!“

“Incredible tasty food; I had the seafood salad and my husband had the seafood stew. I highly recommend“

“The empanadas here are to die for. They're so delicious when they're hot and fresh from the fryer. I'm usually not patient enough to wait but when I do it's so worth it. They have a wide selection of empanadas so there's something for everyone. The staff are nice and they have a delivery/pick up service. The empanadas are large and have a flaky yummy crust. They also have tons of juices to choose from. The food may seem pricey but it's totally worth it. 10/10 would recommend supporting this local minority owned restaurant.“

“Always great food and energetic atmosphere! Love my Latino family😊“

“I have been ordering from casa Metapan for the last 5 years. They Play such a big role in our community keeping our culture alive with authentic Latin American food . no matter what day /time/ or dish you order it will be worth it !! They deliver in a timely fashion and are very kind. They have the best pupusas around hands down!!!!“

“El mejor lugar para pasar en familia y amigos deliciosa comida y excelente atención al cliente“

“Today I stop by this place for my first time and I’m already loving it. The 🍞 is out of this world!!!“

“Wonderful food as always. Very authentic and always the best! Thank you Tu y Yo!“

“Amazing evening with delicious food and tasty drinks! Everything we ordered from the table side guacamole, Brussels sprout salad, tacos, margarita and sangria flights and dessert were incredible!
It’s also set up so beautifully inside so I’m already planning another dinner there next week.“

“The ladies behind the counter took my dairy allergy seriously and helped me find something to enjoy. I had the carnitas tacos, without cheese, and rice and black beans on the side. They made my food first out of the rest of my party, and took the time to clean the grill before hand. The tacos were delicious - the beans and rice were a little bland and much better when I added them to the tacos. I'd recommend speaking to the staff about possible options if you have food allergies.“

“The food here is better than taco loco because of the significant bigger portion size (not stingy like taco loco), the beef is not soggy (loco's meat taste like saddness), service is better (because the employees aren't overworked), more toppings. The only downside is the price but the significant larger portion size makes up for it. When I go to loco, I'm always disappointed about the lack of protein.

Maya: more expensive, flavor, larger portion size, less fluent employees

Loco: cheaper, blander, small portion size, more fluent employees so usually better customer service

Choose your poison“

“buenas atenciones y buen sabor“

“Las Palmas catered my daughter’s 1st Birthday, and I was blown away at the quality of this food for the price! It was beyond delicious, and not only that, the detail they put into their presentation is what really sets them apart from other places I’ve used in the past. I will certainly be using Las Palmas again for future events. Thank you for completing our baby girls birthday.“
