My 2nd time ordering their food thru grubhub and it was delicious! I had the beef soup and fried pork rinds. The soup was packaged perfectly so not to spill. The rinds was crispy with the perfect amount of meat attached and everything was delivered pipping hot! I only gave it 4 stars because of the rice. It was delicious too! But I wanted soo much more to add in my soup!

Montecristo is such a great little family restaurant with Salvadoran specialties! You can get pupusas and tacos at a bunch of spots on this stretch of Broadway, but their loroco pupusas are especially great! I recommend trying some of their unique dishes like the garnachas (similar to sopes with beef) and the nuegados de yuca (sweet fried yuca dumplings) that you can't find anywhere else around here!

I highly recommend Montecristo! The entire staff was great! They helped us make decisions on what we should try and their recommendations did not disappoint. We tried a number of different dishes and they were all amazing. Best papusas loroco and garnachas! They have outdoor seating and plenty of street parking available. This family owned restaurant is one to try!

Been to this location several times, they have incredible food and really generous portions. This is one of the best places for Mexican food in the Boston area. Their nachos with mixed steak and chicken are huge, enough to feed 2-3 adults. Really friendly staff and convenient location. Will be returning here regularly.Kid-friendliness: They don't have a typical kids menu, but they have high chairs and my kid loved their chicken wings and fries.
Tasty, authentic food with friendly people. The portions were huge. A great value with a remarkable variety of Mexican and El Salvadoran Food. Will return often
Really classic hole in the wall place with friendly staff and delicious birria tacos.

Under new management, this restaurant has the best central american food around Somerville. If you like Salvadorean Pupusas, you should definitely try them here. They are nice and big full with your choice of beans or pork and mixed with cheese. Once you are finished, take home some great traditional desserts like Nuegados, made from cassava dipped in honey. I know, cassava with honey doesn't seem right but I can't explain it, you just have to try them. They're delicious!
