“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“Best burritos in the Boston area. Better than Anna's and Boca grande“

“Melissa brought me the vegan empanadas they had made with their collab with Impossible meat. And do you know how hard it was to not eat all 4 at once?! So flavorful and yummy! The ingredients were well distributed throughout, the dough was absolutely delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. Everything she does is amazing and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!“

“Nice place that attracts a good mixed crowd. Super intimate vibe! The food and cocktails are both highlights here. My favorite was the salmon tiradito with tiger milk and the chicken skewers were great. This might be an unclassy take but I wish the elote came with some hot Cheeto dust! But overall great flavors, especially in the dips.

Will be back to try the pork belly skewers and to go downstairs!“

“I’m usually weary trying new places but I’m glad I did! I got the birria tacos and a zucchini pupusa. The flavor was great and it’s a small owned family business. If you’re in the area be sure to support! I wish I got a picture but was too hungry“

“Can’t rate this place high enough! Clean, friendly service, abundance of options, but the food? The food is beyond incredible! Had the breakfast tacos and my husband had the Colombian breakfast. Omg, it was incredible!“

“Got a box from too good to go. It was a substantial portion with two chicken drumsticks, a few chunky pieces of plantain, some chickpea stew thing and alottt of rice. Taste was nice and looking forward to trying items in the future. Glad that even though it’s left overs from the day, they make an effort to pack a balanced meal ❤“

“Las mejores empanadas ,deliciosas 👌👏“

“The empanadas are amazing especially the chicken. So much flavor packes inside. They really give you a lot of meat in the empanada. The spicy tropical margarita drink, so sweet you just a hint of spice. But the Plantano sushi, it's a surprise. Hands down the best combination. You get great live music, it's a vibe.“

“Gran Sabor PUERTO Riqueño un buen servicio , al cliente muy exquisitos sabor y las alcapurrias, no salamente te comes una compras mas de tan ricas que son ,muy profecionales en atender con recpeto.“

“Bocadillos catered my daughter's college graduation party in our home. The food dictated the theme! Year after year, my daughter has followed their "Empanda Truck" at the Snow Port in Boston. Last winter, she insisted that I go too, just so I could taste the empanadas. They were absolutely mouth wateringly delicious!!!! So much so that when it came time to choose who would cater her grad party, the choice was easy! Since Carribean/Latin American food was the menu, we complimented it by hosting a full blown Fiesta with a margarita bar and more for 40 people! We had the food prepared in advance and everything was delicious and piping hot! Our host/chef added to the fastivities with his knowledge of the food, his kindness, and his sense of humor. The cost was very reasonable as well. WARNING: Once you have these empanadas, you will never be able to eat anyone elses again.

Vegetarian options: My favorite empanada is vegetarian!!! And I'm not a vegetarian. My favorite is the corn & cheese, and my second favorite is the black bean.“

“We came here for dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We tried the Birria Taco, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco, pork taco, Nachos steak fried, Pupuas and Churros. The Birria taco was juicy and tender. Pupuas was cheesy and delicious. We also tried some tequila and margaritas. Everything was great. Would come back“

“Great place for date night.“

“Best empanadas in town! I love the argentina the most but all are delicious. Quick service and friendly people in a great location! Highly recommend.

Vegetarian options: The meatless empanadas are uniquely tasty!

Kid-friendliness: Options that even kids will love“

“Muqueca Restaurante é simplesmente o melhor dos melhores restaurantes com a melhor culinária de comidas típicas Brasileira que tem aqui 🇺🇸! Tudo de primeira qualidade feito com amor ! Atendimento excelente, preços não vou nem falar,somente vocês indo lá para comer e saberá! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“Celeste is an excellent restaurant. The restaurant itself is charming and warm, the dishes were innovative and fresh, and the service was quick and helpful. The attention to detail was impressive - you'll see what I mean when you go. My favorite dish was definitely the Tucuma Mousse; it was luscious and subtle and different from anything I've had before.“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“This is a “spanish” bar first and foremost. They have small tables if you want to sit and have something to eat. The interior needs a big time refresh but don't judge the place by it's appearance. The beer is cold and very affordable. The food is GREAT!! If you like typical Colombian food - this place is a home run!! Did I mention that the beer was cold and very affordable??! :-) It would get 5 stars from me if the interior wasn't so old.“

“Delicious with quick friendly service. Gracias“

“During a recent visit, I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing a charming establishment, ideally situated on a corner. The overall ambiance was exceptionally welcoming, setting a very positive tone for the entire experience. I was particularly impressed by the exemplary customer service provided by a staff member, whose consistent affability and genuinely pleasant demeanor significantly enhanced my visit. Furthermore, the empanadas, were truly outstanding, distinguished by their authentic and artisanal quality, strongly reminiscent of a homemade preparation. This establishment undoubtedly provides a superior product coupled with excellent service.“

“We were surprised to find this place empty and not buzzing with customers!
The food was authentic and delicious, similar to what we'd had in Brazil. The decor was also tasteful. The staff were nice and friendly, and parking was super easy!
I really believe they deserve more recognition.“

“I had the opportunity to enjoy lomo saltado and chicharrón with tostones at "El Kiosko." The flavor combination was exceptional, highlighting the juiciness of the lomo and the crispness of the chicharrón. The presentation was impeccable, and each bite reflected the attention to detail in the kitchen. I definitely give it a 5/5. A highly recommended culinary experience.

“(Translated by Google) Well, for the first time, I loved the scrambled pupusa and the coffee. Moderate prices (cheap) and spectacular food. The girl who served me, very friendly. When I visit Boston, I'll be back there. Thanks, excellent quality!(Original)Bueno, para ser la primera vez, me encantó la pupusa revuelta y el café. Precios módicos( baratos) y la comida espectacular. La chica que me atendió, muy amable. Cuando visite Boston, vuelvo para allá. Gracias, excelente calidad!!!!“

“Always great food and energetic atmosphere! Love my Latino family😊“

“Today I stop by this place for my first time and I’m already loving it. The 🍞 is out of this world!!!“

“I took my mom to tita’s kitchen for dinner and we both enjoyed it so much. We could smell the aroma of the restaurant from down the street. It smelled so delicious! The food definitely lived up to the great smells. We got tacos and a carne asada plate. I will be back and I will recommend anyone to visit Tita’s Kitchen for some yummy authentic Guatemalan/Mexican food. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“El mejor lugar para pasar en familia y amigos deliciosa comida y excelente atención al cliente“

“Good vibe love the ceviche mixto along with the sweet plantains and the sangria, cocktails and staff is great. It’s phenomenal 👍“

“Wonderful food as always. Very authentic and always the best! Thank you Tu y Yo!“

“High quality, homemade food cooked with love.“

“buenas atenciones y buen sabor“

“I thought it was weird that they charge for chips and salsa but ok whatever. The chips were too thick and they do not give you enough of them. However, i wont let that ruin my rating because everything else was delicious. Everyone at the table really enjoyed their meals. Service was good and attentive. I'll be back for sure.“

“A modern take on Mexican food, definitely a bit pricey but if you get the 6 Gallitos for the table not a bad deal since you can probably make about 9 tacos with what they give you. The Sopes were great as well! If you want to try something new give it a try it just might surprise you ✨!“

“Las Palmas catered my daughter’s 1st Birthday, and I was blown away at the quality of this food for the price! It was beyond delicious, and not only that, the detail they put into their presentation is what really sets them apart from other places I’ve used in the past. I will certainly be using Las Palmas again for future events. Thank you for completing our baby girls birthday.“

“Very good place lindo muito bom. Restaurante“

“First time, wife and I had chicken nachos and tacos de birria. Everything was delicious and great. Definitely going back and this is our new place 😊“

“Wonderful atmosphere, food and service. Able to accommodate food restrictions. Highly recommended!“

“Really great food about $15/ plate I was able to get a large portion of rice (delicious) and meat (extra delicious) and an option for a side and I did potato salad (also delicious) I also got a beef empanadas and they were huge and really flavorful and delicious“

“dan promoción de actividades pero no hay fotos de sus platos del menú el cliente se enamora por los ojos primero. recomendacion“

“I am not the person to be writing or giving an opinion on anything in any store but they never arrive. I write this not to offend or anything. I write it in a way so that they are aware and do not steal. For you, .15 cents is nothing, nor for me, but for someone else it may mean something.

My experience and what is happening with this business. They cook very delicious, I am clear about that, the flavor in the food is very good. The problem is that the first time I asked for the receipt and with itemized prices and I see that they charge me .15 for the bag, I said, that's fine because I need it and in some places they charge it. Today I'm going to pick up an order and I tell him I don't have a bag so he doesn't charge me for it and I ask for a receipt with the prices broken down, a girl tells me "take it because it was charged anyway" I tell her that it was charged if I said that I didn't love her.

They started telling me that the system charges it automatically, that the city hall charges taxes etc etc etc, a lot of excuses. I know they buy the bags but if I don't want it however I want they keep it, I don't steal it, and if I had to buy it I would buy it, that is not my regret. Gentlemen, the client has and should have the option to decide if he wants to pay the damned bag or not, not that they say that the system charges it automatically, it is a scam and a theft from the client. Because I know that .15 cents is nothing, but we have to be honest with customers and ask if they want the bag or not and that there is an additional cost even if it is an additional cent. A lady got angry and took out .15 to give me them and I didn't want them, I grabbed the bag and told her I'll take it because they charged for it anyway. That's not how you struggle. If they are going to charge for something, they should tell the client and let the person decide if they want it or not. Not just charge them and that's it. I come back and repeat, they cook very delicious, I recommend it but in that hidden charge that they don't say it is where I see the difference, without offending. And they will say, if you want to buy here, you should buy and if not go somewhere else, but we are talking about honesty above all. Something that they are failing a little.

Ahhh and about the service, one of them must learn to be a little more friendly and have good manners, because you as a representative within the establishment should be more friendly and attentive. In general, I recommend the food and its flavors are very delicious.“

“I came here for a quick dessert to go and noticed the pupusas and started getting hungry for next time. Everyone here is so nice, including the customers. I grabbed an arroz con leche and one lady offered me a straw because she could tell I needed some instructions. Haha!“

“Very good! The Guac was so fresh and Delicious! Very nice staff! Great food all around!“

“I would leave 5 stars but they need to up their speed in this Malden location. The Everett one is fast and efficient but Malden location is slower in serving take out food and making the food ready to go when you call ahead. The food is really good though, hands down delicious compared to most “Mexican” places. They may need to play tv or music for a better atmosphere too to eat in“

“Everything. They are the perfect place to relax , have fun, and enjoy great Spanish music and great Spanish food. I love this place. 💜 Norvia is the Best!!!!“

“I placed a large order for pick up for a familial event that included a large Tray of pernil, large tray of chicken, large tray or moro and potato salad 2 days before the event and they came through. The food was great and everyone was satisfied.“

“I recently visited Punto Rojo in East Boston, and my experience was exceptional from beginning to end. As soon as I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The team was attentive, professional, and consistently checked in to ensure that everything was meeting my expectations.

The restaurant offers a warm and vibrant environment that reflects the richness of Latin cuisine. The space was clean, well-organized, and comfortable—perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal with friends or family.

The food at Punto Rojo truly stands out. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can tell that the kitchen takes pride in both the quality and presentation of their plates. The flavors were authentic and well-balanced, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy traditional dishes made with care, and every bite highlights the restaurant’s passion for good food.

I also appreciated the efficient service. Despite the restaurant being busy, the staff managed everything smoothly and always made time to answer questions or offer recommendations. Their professionalism and positive attitude made the entire experience even better.

Overall, Punto Rojo exceeded my expectations in every way. With delicious food, outstanding service, and an inviting atmosphere, it’s a restaurant I would gladly return to and highly recommend to anyone looking for great Latin cuisine in East Boston.“
