Was in the mood for a burrito and for some odd reason somerville hasn’t been it for burritos as of late… so I decided to look around and found this spot. Idk how long they have been open but decided to give it a shot based of the reviews. I can honestly say it’s one of the best burritos I’ve had in a very long time. All the employees are super nice and friendly. All the ingredients and vegetables and meats that they use is all fresh. One thing I absolutely love is that they grill the burrito for you without asking and to me that makes the burrito 100x times better. Definitely will be a returning customer!!!P.S. don’t forget the Horchata!!!

The food was super good, but the person who served had a terrible attitude and way of serving, making important comments to the public, what bad service for such good food ?

My friend from elementary school Salvador brought me here telling me she got the best pupusas in the Boston area, and I totally agree with her. Delicious, filling, and a wide range of different Mexican and Salvadoran food!

They charge extra for cheese on your burrito. Never seen that before.

After walking by Chivo a couple of times, I was drawn in by their breakfast menu. Unfortunately, it took me a couple of tries to find a day when they were actually open at 8am like their signage advertised! The first two weekday mornings I stopped by, I found the restaurant empty, locked, and dark at 8:15 am - I was pretty confused considering the signs they kept outside boasted of new 8-11 am breakfast hours. The day I finally made my way inside, I found the place open around 9 am (not too bad) and I ordered their chorizo and eggs plate. It was pretty good, but not great. First off, the beans were SUPER SALTY. This was a good thing if you were able to get a bite of a little of everything all together, but not so tasty on their own. Secondly, the plate was advertised as having "Salvadorian fried eggs", now me, I didn't know exactly what these were but assumed they'd be somewhat like a standard fried egg. It's just scrambled eggs. It was still quite yummy, I just didn't expect scrambled eggs. Other than that, the plantains were nice, the scrambled egg and chorizo was super good with the farmers cheese and salty beans. The place just gave kind of ~off~ vibes. I'd be interested to go back and try their lunch/dinner menu to see the taco/salsa bar in action - I was kind of disappointed I wasn't given the opportunity to make use of it at breakfast.

I'm from out of town and wanted some food before a show we had come to see. I ordered a torta with steak and a pork and cheese papusa, and everything was absolutely fantastic. Service was fast and competent, food was fresh and delicious. That torta was the best one I've had since I was in El Paso ten years ago. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is a fan of Latin cuisine.

Decent fast casual Mexican place. Not really breaking any barriers with creativity, but I'll be stopping here from work lunch fairly frequently.

Very tasty carnitas and chorizo, but they have all the ingredients on the menu to offer lower carb or keto meals and the only option is a very sad salad without the fried tortilla bowl. People seem to like it, and I'm glad to have it in the neighborhood, but for me it's just a place I pass by and occasionally check the menu to see if they have anything I can eat.Dietary restrictions: The need low carb options.
