El Pelón Taqueria is a Mexican restaurant known for its fresh and homemade tacos and burritos. The restaurant offers vegetarian options, including vegan cheese and vegan tamales, although the tamales were not well-received. The tacos, particularly the Al pastor tacos, are praised as delicious. Customers often say they find the fish tacos and burritos the best, and many consider it one of the best Mexican places in Boston. The staff is accommodating to reasonable requests like gluten-free options, but the food is not made to order. Burritos are overflowing, making them a bit hard to eat on public transit, but customers can opt for a burrito bowl instead. Parking can be limited, especially with busy spots and double parking, but walking further along Comm Ave can help. The location near Boston College makes it a popular spot, with long lines after events. The caramelos menu item might be too spicy for some customers. Overall, El Pelón Taqueria provides a quick and satisfying Mexican meal, with a focus on quality ingredients and homemade flavors. The restaurant's catering service is also highly praised, and many have enjoyed thousands of burritos and tacos over the years.
