Sydney gave my wife and myself the best time of our lives, man. She is the definition of a great waitress. This was our first time here, and I will definitely be back just because of her.

Plus, now we know they have all you can eat on Mondays, plus this have all you can eat brunch. $29 is not a bad idea at all.

Awesome AYCE brunch deal, huge variety and just the right portion for splitting a bunch of different dishes. Nothing we tried was bad. The horchata iced coffee was so good you could order two. Tacos have a good variety of flavor, favorite dish was the french toast and they gave us a tres leches slice on the house! Great experience to try with a group.

I’ve been going to their bottomless brunch at the Somerville location for over three years now. After moving to Dorchester, I decided to try the Brookline location for the first time with my boyfriend. I am absolutely appalled at the service we got.

Slow service, place wasn’t even busy, I had 1 dish in a span of an hour for their bottomless brunch. Not coming here again.

I LOVE the Bottomless Brunch option! Tacos are amazing here, and so is the French toast (we had 3 of them). I’ve been here 2 times now and I would go every weekend if I had the option (and a bottomless stomach lol)

Wow, maybe I went on a bad night but boy, what a disaster.

Service was slow and it was hard to get a waiter. I get it, it's a popular restaurant on a weekend night. I took a sip of my margarita when I felt something come out of the straw and into my mouth. It was sharp, so it wasn't an ice cube. I spat it out and lucky I did as it was a SHARD OF GLASS that had been in my drink.

I asked to speak to a manager, first time in my life I did that, and he came out pretty quickly. He said it was a busy night and that these things happen. I got a replacement drink but nothing comped.

As we were settling the bill we saw an enormous rat a few feet from us on the patio. He seemed pretty at home and nonchalant. Good indication not to go back.

Sydney is an absolute dream. I’ve never felt more comfortable and taken care of at a restaurant in my life. She is so personable and kind and made sure my friend and I had exactly what we needed throughout our time here, she made it hard to leave!

This girl deserves a raise because she was so incredibly on top of everything and so efficient and she was so knowledgeable. It was our first time here and this will now be my go to restaurant. Thank you Sydney keep being amazing!!!!

This used to be one of my favorite spots but I won’t be back. I don’t understand how my partner and I’s dinner was so expensive. We had 2 orders of fajitas priced at $24 each ($48) 3 classic margaritas priced at $9 each ($27) and our total somehow came out to $96. This should only be $75 or $79 after tax. The service was good and the food was fine but the portions were WAY smaller compared to 6 months ago.

- the service is amazing the moment you step into the restaurant !
- ordered from the Mucho Mania AYCE menu and our server always made sure we had plates at the table ?
- the food is also top notch (favorites were the birria and short rib tacos) ! will definitely be coming back again soon

Came for the Mucho Mania AYCE deal. It’s really good value which feels like quite a rarity in Brookline/Boston. Food was never bad but hit or miss in terms of being really good. A lot of the dishes just felt like they could have been a little bit better in terms of how flavorful and/or well executed they were. Things that were really good in my opinion were the papas bravas, esquites, and buffalo cauliflower tacos. All of those things I would particularly love to order again. The margaritas were also very good. Other things seemed like a miss, like the shrimp diablo taco just wasn’t spicy, and the shrimp al ajillo appetizer came with just one shrimp so we could not share (and yes, it’s AYCE so we could order more, but really? one shrimp?). It was kind of silly looking in comparison to the very generous portion size of the papas bravas that we had ordered at the same time. Ultimately the cons are just small things like that but they left me a little mystified. I’d come back for sure but my expectations are calibrated now.

Just WOW! So many brilliant flavors, very fresh and beautifully presented. Tuna ceviche with mango salsa, crisp empanadas, salmon a la plancha, all fantastic. Oh, and those margaritas ?. Sydney was such a kind and knowledgeable server. And chef “Alex” brought us a taste of his gorgeous Tres Leches cake - don’t even think of skipping dessert! In all, an extraordinary evening - can’t wait to come back.
To the reviewer who griped about the 5% kitchen charge (which was clearly noted on the menu) - I’m happy to recognize the talented and hardworking staff in the front of the house and the back - that make our experience possible. It’s wise for management to compensate them fairly and not skimp on the quality of the food.

I had brunch here, and it was wonderful! The bottomless brunch is a great way to sample a variety of dishes without feeling overly full because it serves the ideal amount of food. How they manage to accomplish it for $25 is beyond me! What a deal! The cold brew with horchata was really tasty. The interior design is adorable. Will most certainly return for more meals here!
