Wow, this place is not to miss. Super laid back, counter service style, but the food is incredible. Tacos were super tasty and guacamole was so fresh. Would return in a heart beat.

The best burritos in Cambridge area! I usually get the veggie one, but everyone around me loves the meat ones as well. The ingredients are always fresh! The staff is super friendly!

This is an unpretentious small Mexican food restaurant. It is decorated by three self-portraits of Frida kahlo and has metal chairs at small tables. You go to the counter for service. And order from an extensive menu and then they bring it to your table. The plates are fairly traditional and they were good. Nice portions. I had three pork Verde enchiladas and I found them to be really quite good.

I bought the fish taco platter. It was good and the service was fast. It’s nothing to write home about but if you’re in the mood for Mexican it’s not a bad place to check out.

My gf wanted Mexican for her birthday lunch so I thought this place sounded good, I was right! I tried the birria tacos for the first time and she got the chicken burrito. Both tasted very fresh and the service was great. For a little shop on the street I wasn’t expecting to pay $40 but birria tacos are probably just more money than the average taco so that’s alright.

This place was PERFECT!!! We were treated with kindness and the Guy working, Perfecto , was fantastic. I had the lengua, carnitas, puerco en salsa tacos and they were great, the tortillas are handmade so yummy.
My Wife ordered pastor tacos and were so good. The salsa roja has the best flavor while packing the heat. Birria Taco Trio was loaded with flavorful meat. The amount of meat was perfect. The dipping consome was hands down the greatest taste for any dipping sauce I’ve had.
Highly recommend You won’t regret this place. Can’t wait to come back!
