I had the pechugas en salsa de chile poblano, and it was delicious. The churros are also quite good, excited to try the other offerings on the menu!

The Mexican food in this place is AWESOME! My friends and I get a really great experience there, every single dish thaw we tried was phenomenal! You have to try the avocado cheese cake, is my favorite there!! Service was great and the spot makes you feel like in a real Mexican restaurant.

My boyfriend and I went here late last night an hour before they closed and we were given what felt like beyond special treatment. The man who served us (either the owner, or gm who handled the admin side), was so passionate when describing the menu and genuinely helpful when answering any questions I had.

I am from San Diego and grew up eating very authentic Mexican food and everything down to the beans and rice (which in my experience are never as good as back home) were phenomenal! We had the traditional tamales, Pipian Paskal, the tacos de pescado, churros, and the owner gave us a free taste of the cafe de olla.

Also the price is so good for what you’re getting. The food’s seasoning is so on point and does really remind you of being at abuela’s table.

We’ll be back!

EAT HERE.
This is a sleeper spot I randomly happened upon. I have walked by this place before and not really noticed it was there. The door it at the corner of the street.
You do have to step up to get inside.
My black beans were well seasoned, as was the rice. And the rice was well made, not a sticky mess.
The plantains were fried perfectly, I was glad I bought 2 of those. The plantains came with a cream sauce I think, but I didn't grow up eating them that way, and having some cheese on the enchiladas was enough for me.
The enchiladas were a little dry, but in their defense, I was 20 minutes late to grab my order, and things were still warm when I got back to where I live.
I got salsa that was bursting with flavor and the perfect amount of heat, which also added the moisture the enchiladas needed. They still had good flavor sans the salsa.
Good prices, and worth the money.
Verdict: RECOMMEND. On a sleepy Sunday, very satisfying.

This is quickly becoming one of our favorite places in the neighborhood! The food is delicious and everything else has been great, too!

Vegetarian options: I loved the avocado tacos, elite, plantains and guac! There were plenty of other options that I didn't even get to!

I didn’t find food tasty. The punch of flavors were missing whether it was as simple as guac or tacos or a plate.

Quantity wise okay for an entree however I wish they would have given more guac.

I’d rather skip this place tbh.

Being from the west coast, and Mexicana Americana, I have been looking for authentic Mexican food in Boston for more than a year. This place has amazing tamales, meat, elote, and drinks (horchata y jugos).The house-made hot sauce is picoso and sabroso. It’s beautiful inside, reasonably priced, and the service was very personable. It’s also family friendly. I will be back and definitely recommend eating here.
