Let’s be real. Boston isn’t exactly overflowing with great Mexican restaurants, and when it comes to Fenway, it feels like a desert. El Pelon used to be the most decent one in the area, but its quality has gone down in the past few years. I used to order their Platos for delivery occasionally, but I recently had a bad experience with the pork and chicken platos. Both meats were dry, and the toppings lacked the punch of flavor you'd expect. Even compared to local chains...
This place has a very casual and fun vibe. The staff greets you with a big smile. The menu is not too large but big enough to make you want to order everything!
I never heard of Mexican sandwiches but glad I tried it. It was amazing! Their tacos and plantains are blasting with flavors! So glad we found this place.

Clean, small space with 2 tables and bar type seating. It seems it caters to students. The service was good , however the food lacked any flavor. My carnitas burrito was bland almost tasteless and needed a good amount of hot sauce so I could finish it. The issue is with the hot sauce, it just tastes hot. It is not a substitute for flavor or spices.In all, a good place to go to in a pinch, but there are other places nearby I'd like to try.
