I can't believe I am only now writing a review for this place. I used to come there all the time when I worked in the neighborhood. When you come in, you can see that they cook their meats fresh in a giant drum. I therefore know the principal ingredients are fresh. I do miss the pre-inflation days but I still think it's reasonably priced. One worker used to know my order by heart. I am glad that there has been no drop off in quality since the olden days. Will probably go back if I'm hungry and in the area.

So I was in a hurry and needed breakfast, and I absolutely love Mexican street corn hence why I stopped here. On top of the elote, I also ordered a cheese tamale (though I think they gave me a chicken tamale by mistake (but whatevs)).
Both were… fine. I currently live in Chelsea where you can’t throw a rock without hitting an authentic Latin American restaurant (though it’s mostly Central American food there, as opposed to Mexican like this place), so I felt like compared to what I’m used to the food was a bit lackluster and overpriced. But only a bit.
The corn was fine, but not the crazy flavorful dripping mess that makes you wash your face afterwards. Similarly the tamale was decent but not as good as a lot of places I frequent.
That all said, some elote is better than no elote, and if I went back I’d definitely order it again. Atmosphere was small but pleasant.

First time I went yesterday! Thanks to the young man who helped me! I really liked the al pastor burrito that I ordered to go! The boy was very gentle and nice! He had spent a terrible day in the hospital; When I left I made that stop and I assure you I was very pleased! Thank you so much!

Cozy little spot. Great burritos and tacos.. Depending on the day, they’re not fully English-speaking so hard to convey what you want. They are very nice. Parking horrible because it’s the city, Mission Hill.
Parking: Not very many meter spaces or two hour spots. It’s best if you get dropped off.

As someone who loves Mexican food, I've tried many of the places in Boston. This place has the best burrito I've had by far ???!! I didn't try the churros yet so I'll definitely be back for some of those

Food was nasty compared to other locations I’ve tried and service was very rude and prices aren’t as marked

I recently bought a Birria Burrito from here. They did not add ANYTHING that I ordered on it. Refriend beans, guac, lettuce. It was just a basic chicken burrito and i paid EXTRA for it. Never again

I've had multiple negative experiences with staff consistently getting the order wrong. Food is okay, but the portion sizes are small given the prices so the value is not there.
