Amazing food - best burrito in Boston, hands down. Bit sad they closed the Fenway location, as this one is a little more off the beaten path, but it's still so good. And the catering in on point, too.

If you want bad food, bad service, and over-priced food this is the place to go to. $20 dollars for a bowl. This is what happened. Ask for a bowl with Chicken (The worst chicken in a Mexican place, I think this chicken was boiled with rubber), told the lady what I wanted on my bowl, didn't pay attention didn't care didn't offer advice, Asked for a little rice got a bowl full of rice. Asked for extra lettuces I got a little lettuce Ask for no cheese got cheese, paid for extra chicken, got 0 extra chicken. Asked for no cheese, got cheese in my bowl. Asked for pico de gallo, extra $.75 cents. It was the worst pico de gallo, if you can call it that. Went I got my order and so what I got I told myself maybe is good what a joke. I was some bad that Ithrew it away right in front of them and they didn't even ask me what was wrong with it.So for $20 I got a bowl full of bad rice, a little bit of bad chicken, whatever they call pico de gallo ( you have to pay extra for this ), and watery black beans. I will stick to los Amigos or Chipotle, pay less and get more. Better food and better service.

Is it the best Mexican place in Boston? Very likely but I have no proof. What I have a proof of is thousands of burritos and tacos eaten here over years. I was never disappointed if only in myself for overeating.
I find fish tacos and burritos the best.
The staff is accommodating to reasonable requests (gluten free, etc) but don't expect a bespoke cooking. Yes burritos are overflowing and not convenient to eat on public transit (which by the way you shouldn't do anyway) but you can always get a burrito bowl.
Parking can be a challenge if parallel parking is a challenge for you, but if one is willing to walk there are more spots further along Comm Ave.

The parking is very difficult. This place is in front of Boston College in a little plaza . The food is good . It tastes fresh and it’s tasty . You can also ask for sauces or condiments to appeal to your flavoring . The customer service is not really good . But if you just go to pick up the food you’re good.
Vegetarian options: None
Dietary restrictions: Well it’s a taco joint I am sure they can accommodate.
Used to love this place but $5 for 1 taco is highway robbery. Not how a place could fall so far from grace.

Ordered chicken enchiladas, the receipt stapled to the bag says chicken enchiladas, opened the bag when I got home and it has steak. Lack of attention to detail from the staff is evident

I asked for a fish burrito but with the ingredients from the tacos plus the refried beans that the burrito has, but the girl told me that she didn't do it that way because she has to do a lot of things when placing the order and that it would be very expensive regardless of What costs when you ask for something is because you are going to pay for it. I did not ask for anything that cannot be done. I have known this taqueria for more than 10 years. I have included. I have worked there bad bad bad

I got a Fish burrito yesterday and I told them just a little rice.. got chips and dip also. I walked 10min to bus stop and had 13min to eat and I opened half of the foil and the burrito exploded with rice ??... food everywhere.. then tried to continue eating on bus and made a mess. I just left there again and I wanted to tell the manager what happened and the cashier told me sorry about yesterday and the manager is not here. I paid $21 for chips and burrito and queso... I will not go again for their lack of an apology also. Easy instructions just bad service

Only reasons for going here was to use the restroom. I paid for my food first and then asked to use the restroom and was told no. Had to go in and out of every business to find a bathroom as I'm a school bus driver and this is a daily struggle finding a restroom. The billboard out front was cute. I originally planned to go into subway and decided on Mexican because of the cute chalk sign out front. It said vegan tamales. I'm not vegan but love vegan/ vegetarian food., I bought the vegan tamele and Al pastor tacos. Tacos were great. But let's just say I tried to vegan tamele so you don't have too. It was awful. It was just Masa. Literally just dough mixed with corn. There was no filling. I dipped it in salsa Verde sauce just to get it down because I was honestly starving. And I complained the whole time. I love that they offered a vegan option but if you can't do it right then don't. Could have filled with with jackfruit or oyster mushrooms. They did offer vegan cheese too I saw on the menu. This was a one stop kinda of thing I don't know if I'd go out of my way for this place but the tacos were good.
Vegetarian options: Offered vegan cheese and vegan tamales. Tamales weren't that good but it was a vegan offering.

I have had alot of tacos in my days, this was really bad, just fell apart, just gross, honestly i would rather eat cumberland farms gas station food than these tacos right nowHard dried out old steak. Waste of time and money

Love this place, must-visit if you’re in the area. Was there this past Saturday at 11:45AM just before the Boston College football game. Walked right in and ordered. If you go after the game lines are literally out the door. My favorite is the caramelos but they might be too spicy for some.
