The loaded tortillas soup bowl is my all time favorite!!“

“This is one of the only places in the Boston area that serves white cheese dip! I know, white cheese dip is not a culinary marvel or even anything authentic but man I love it and I've been missing it since moving here from the south. The food was solid and reasonably priced. Also, you get chips and salsa when you sit down - big plus on my book. The menu has draft beer listed, but it wasn't available when I visited.“

“The food is great. I always get the taco special. The ingredients are fresh.
The only downside is the waiting area. You are packed like sardines in line to place or pick up an order.
I would definitely suggest calling ahead and placing an order for takeout over the phone.
There are a few tables for sit-down dining but the room is very tight and crowded.“

“Great food but lately El Jefe's is taking a hit on bad reviews due to @GrubHub's poor ordering system with algorithm issues which I have brought to their attention, and seems they still haven't fixed since I placed an order months prior. On 3 separate occasions on the same date and time I received my order incorrect. When I compared the order from my GrubHub account against the receipt received from El Jefe's, it was determined I was missing many items from my burrito bowl. I contacted GrubHub in which they kept refunding me, and I also mentioned the issue. I ordered El Jefe's 2 more times and the same error occurred both times. I could see once they mess up the order due to reading it wrong but not 3x. El Jefe's only puts an order together based on the ordering slips they receive from GrubHub, so if something is off with GrubHub's ordering system that is what the restaurant is receiving and thus creating the order from. As much as these food delivery services are ripping off these restaurants, they got a nerve to make the restaurant take accountability for their mess ups and ordering errors. They're already scamming these vendors out of $$$ and continue to affect these companies in a negative manner. Time for these vendors to go back to the old delivery ways and cut the greedy middle man! These good delivery services are a total rip off with their high fees, whacked discounts that don't add up, and lack of customer service.“

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.“

“I just had the hottest meal I’ve ever had. The waiter said “That is very very spicy”…I told him to say “very” three times to warn customers. The meal was AWESOME!!! Thank you 👍“

“Great food and service. Bierra tacos were great- we drank the au-jus straight as it had nice cinnamon overtones. Guacamole was perfect with the chips light and fluffy. The 3 tacos- were the traditional small one: the pastor had small amounts of pineapple - very traditional; steak (carne asada) was cooked perfectly as little strips and the carnitas has tons of flavor. The trea-leche was a hit with it's nice flavora. The margherita was flavorful and well balanced. The service was amazing- they gave us special hot sauce, not on the menu, when we asked for habanero sauce (they didn't have). Will go again- need to taste everything on the menu!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend.“

“Warm hospitality you’d expect from a Cheers-like neighborhood bar where the staff knows your name & greets you with a smile Kudos to Jonathan for his kindness & recommending the Torta“

“Looking for dinner options along Moody Street and this was an easy choice. I've been to Dallas and had a fun evening in their Deep Ellum neighborhood so why would I skip the opportunity to try it again.

Lots of options here, considering we have meat eaters, pescatarians and kosher eaters in the group tonight. We started off with a plate of their pickles and they were fabulous. With it, beers! Including a draft German beer for me and a tin of a non-alcoholic for Mrs. K.

For main, I chose the Italian sandwich and it was fabulous. Well loaded and very tasty if perhaps a little messy. But that's what napkins are for. Mrs. K. chose the grilled cheese and said it was excellent.

Great service here and we had a fabulous evening. Five stars!“

“Outstanding! Great food and drinks, we are regulars. We took friends from the mid-west, and they said Margaritas was the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.A.“

“This place has wonderful food, great flavors, very polite & attentive service. Very comfortable setting. Highly recommended.“

“We are ecstatic that Quillos is in East Arlington! The food has the look and taste of a home cooked Mexican meal! We feel nourished by their food.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere. Veggie Enchiladas and Blood orange margarita…highly recommend!“

“La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!“

“Consistently Delicious food, fabulous sangria, good service, and fun patio for the warmer months. We have been coming here for many years. Highly recommend!“

“Wooooow! Wife and I are visiting from SC and both agreed that we’d turn into regulars here if we lived in Boston. The birria was maybe the best I’ve ever had, guac was so fresh, and the service was excellent. We have Abuela’s marked on our map for our next visit to Boston, we’ll be back!!!“

“the best mexican food“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“We had bottomless brunch at the Painted Burro and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the smaller portions so that you can try a bunch of different things! Only critique is that the coffee/tea is NOT bottomless, which is a bummer when you're paying $4 for a cup of joe.“

“Taco 🌮 Pastor, grilled habanero salsa and a Modelo draft 🍻 for lunch.“

“One of the top taco spots in Boston. You can see them make their own tortillas in the store, and so far everything I've tried from asada, to lengua to birria has been delicious.

FYI if you carry cash you get a discount!“

“Excellent food and service“

“The food here is delicious!!!!! 100/10. When you get that little bite of plantain, chicken tinga , rice and black bean, perfection! I absolutely recommend.“

“Delicious huevos rancheros! The plantains were a little too over cooked and would have more beans but they were absolutely delicious. I have also come for lunch and have tried their quesadillas as well which were also delicious. It is pricey and it’s a set amount of items per order, like minimum 2 tacos etc, so I don’t frequent. I find myself going to Tenoch Mexican more often because of flexibility in terms of ordering items separately etc.“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“During my trip to Boston, I visited a Pakistani and Middle Eastern restaurant that instantly felt like home. The owner, who I believe was also running the place, was incredibly friendly and served us with genuine warmth and hospitality. We ordered classic Pakistani dishes, and the chef also Pakistani prepared them right in front of us, which made the experience even more special. The flavors were just like back home, and after five days of traveling, I finally got to enjoy a sip of proper desi-style chai and I absolutely loved it! This place is a gem for anyone craving authentic taste and heartfelt service.“

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

“Came from Georgia to visit and I absolutely loved the environment. All the waiters were great and drinks were good too. The guacamole was to die for as well as the chips. I come from a Mexican town and this place was on spot, I felt very welcomed. They also had a Banda which was great.“

“Everything was delicious, great service, hot food, yummy drinks, clean and great team of workers.“

“Thank you Mr. Paulo and the team for the wonderful service over the weekend. In a restaurant as busy as this location is, to be remembered by the staff is seriously next level and I'll always be happy to venture into town for this specific location.“

“We have ordered takeout twice now. The food is excellent. We have had the enchiladas rojo, the carne asada Plato and quesadillas and an exceptional pork torta. All have been seasoned well and so flavorful! The only tiny complaint is that the side of guacamole with my quesadillas was very tiny, like a tablespoon. Next time (and there will e a next time) I will call that out when ordering This is a true gem in Billerica, you won’t be sorry“

“Very fast and very good flavors I love the barbacoa. And the burritos are very popular here. You can choose from a lot of toppings. The only down site it's the don't have limes. The mango water and horchata are good too and I love the flan.“

“Love everything, from warm chips and salsa to entrees and delicious drinks.“

“Enjoyed a Birthday lunch with my fiancee.The staff were friendly, the food was authentic and delicious and the dinning area is very quaint. We ar looking forward to returning again soon!“

“My husband and I went to Lone Star Taco Bar for the first time tonight. The service was quick, friendly, and efficient! Our waiter answered all our questions and took great care of me with my food allergies! I felt totally safe!! The food was packed with so much flavor and everything just melts in your mouth! The guacamole was literally the best I’ve ever had in my life and the tacos were flavorful and fresh!! We wanted to try one of everything so we will definitely be back. The ambiance is welcoming and I loved the decor. 10/10 stars!!“

“Absolutely delicious and super friendly and fast service! Got the birria tacos and would definitely recommend and go here again! My friends loved it as well!“

“Very good taqueria in a great location in Coolidge Corner, with metered street parking nearby.

Pleasant interiors, comfortable seating, clean restrooms. Fresh and tasty food in generous portions, friendly service, fair prices.

Yet not 5 stars because there are no fountain drinks and they don’t serve water for those who stay away from sugary drinks. Also no WiFi (for those of us who need to work on a laptop around lunch break). They play upbeat music in Spanish that is too loud and unsettling. The music makes you want to eat quickly and leave, which may be why most people just grab and go.“

“After coming from the dentist, my food choices were limited. Truthfully I just needed a simple home cooked meal.

I definitely got it at Acapulco Restaurant. Customer service excels at this Mom and Pop venue.

The Margarita was expertly prepared and complimented the whole meal. There was plenty from the chips and plain salsa to the number one, which included rice and beans.

I felt valued, and there was great hospitality. I'll be sure to come through more often.“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

“You would never expect this to be such a cool restaurant from the street, but once you walk in the door you will love the charm and warmth. Everything about food was perfect. We had bibimbap ,fried chicken, Kimbap and kimchi fried rice and peach limeade. The service was super sweet…. Cannot beat a good waitress who brings a great attitude and had awesome recommendations.

We will be back soon!“

“All around decent. Tacos are the way to go here rather than burritos, and the margs are great for being on dining dollars. The decor is unnerving for sure, and the hot sauce collection has dwindled from its peak, but overall the best Mexican food on Huntington, and certainly the best on NEU Husky Dollars.“

“Absolutely amazing staff and food. Always priorities my food allergies, with labels on everything so you can eat confidently. I am a Boloco fan for life.

Vegetarian options: tofu and great veggie choices

Dietary restrictions: They let you choose your allergies on the mobile order menu. Every item is labeled, even the chips and guacamole on the side. Makes me very happy and confident to eat here.“

“I can't believe I am only now writing a review for this place. I used to come there all the time when I worked in the neighborhood. When you come in, you can see that they cook their meats fresh in a giant drum. I therefore know the principal ingredients are fresh. I do miss the pre-inflation days but I still think it's reasonably priced. One worker used to know my order by heart. I am glad that there has been no drop off in quality since the olden days. Will probably go back if I'm hungry and in the area.“

“You have to try the carnitas torta! It also needs to be profiled on some foodie show!! Delicious!“

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

“Great authentic Mexican food! Not your average Mexican restaurant“

“Pleasant employees! Wonderful good was really great!!“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“
