The prices are low and the food quality is SO high! I was blown away by the flavor in the chicken!
There is limited parking out front. Very friendly staff.
Lots of seating inside and out.
My meal was so filling I didn’t finish and it was only $12!

Came here recently and ordered a burrito bowl with chicken, rice, cheese. Overall, the food wasn’t bad, but there were a few things worth pointing out.
First, the sour cream was very watery. It still tasted like sour cream, but the texture was off. The biggest issue, however, was the chicken. My girlfriend took a bite and nearly choked on a bone, which I initially didn’t believe until I found a couple bones in mine too. Definitely something to be aware of not ideal for a burrito bowl.
The rice was actually really good, but the horchata was a major disappointment. I’ve had horchata my whole life, and this tasted nothing like it. It had a strong, spicy cinnamon flavor almost like Hot Tamales candy rather than the smooth, sweet cinnamon taste you’d expect. It was $4.50 and I couldn’t finish it after two sips. Even my girlfriend said it tasted spicy, which isn’t what horchata should be at all.
Not a terrible experience, but definitely some things that need improvement especially the bones in the chicken and the horchata recipe.

The staff is not friendly and most importantly the $16 Quesadilla were tasteless and not fresh.

New to town. Had lunch here with my daughter. We ordered tacos to share. They were delicious.

Here's what I have to say. The food, service, atmosphere, great. But the prices are bigger for small burritos. Anna's is better in MY opinion.
Marc Wilson
My favorite place for tacos! The chicken tinga is excellent! Everything is fresh and made to order.

We tried the nachos, but they were a bit disappointing. The portion size was small, and the toppings—like beans, cheese, and mayo—were noticeably lacking compared to other Mexican spots I've been to in Boston. It felt a bit overpriced for what we got.

Better than most burrito nearby. Love both red and green hot sauce
Great food, great service! Sandra at the counter is a sweetheart and always remembers my name. Do yourself a favor and try the chicken tinga quesadillas and the churros.

So I was looking for a place to eat for lunch when I came across chilacates. At first I thought it was a New Mexican restaurant but when I arrived I realized it’s the previous Mexican place that was there but with a rebrand. The counter lady was clearly overwhelmed which lead to a line of people waiting to place their orders. I got the chicken burrito with the flan. The burrito was full but poorly wrapped. The tortilla was very chewy as well. The flan was very hard, not firm but hard. The add insult to injury I had to go to the fridge and grab my own flan just for the counter could place it in the bag. I guess I work part time here too ?
Honestly I would not recommend it for the price.
Parking: Their is a garage next to the restaurant but it’s a public garage with high rates.
