This review is for a doordash I recently ordered. To whomever is in the kitchen, I want you to know that I love you.

I absolutely love tamales, but being vegetarian, it is hard to find a place that does a vegetarian tamale. Well look no further, this place has five different kinds that all come in an order of mini tamales, and all are delicious. I also ordered chyrro and to my everlasting shock, it was still very warm and filled with dulce de leche.

I look forward to many more dinners from here. Vegetarians, you will not be disappointed!

The Chicken Breast in Poblano Chili Sauce (Pechuga en Salsa de Chile Poblano), Arrachera Mexicana, the Green Enchiladas, Vegetarian Tamales, Mexican Street Corn, Flan, Sangria, and the sides of homemade Black Beans are delicious and definitely the standout dishes! They’re incredibly flavorful and authentically prepared. It’s definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Boston that’s pretty cheap. The Tacos de Birria and Burgos Rancheros (offered during brunch) are other great choices!
However, the second time I got the chicken breast in poblano sauce it wasn’t as great: the chicken was overcooked and dry and there was very little sauce. It was also a bit too salty. Their Tinga Poblana (shredded chicken in a chipotle sauce) was a bit bland and forgettable.
I’ve also gotten the Salmon Criolla main dish. It comes with 2 shrimp cakes (super good!), rice, homemade beans, and salmon in a creamy red pepper sauce. This sauce was pretty good, but you could tell the salmon wasn’t that fresh as it had a slight fishy odor.

I love Tu y Yo so much. Their enchiladas, their sopes, their tacos birria, margaritas - all outstanding. The real star is always the cochinita pibil for me - it’s a must try!

We found this while looking for good food to eat and figured the menu looked interesting so we tried it out. We were not disappointed at all!!! The food was amazing, the service was so good and all the servers were friendly and funny! I am so glad we went here. We also finished off with the avocado cheesecake and it was delicious!

What kind of Mexican place doesn't have burritos? The food was bland and small portions for the expensive price. We didn't get our drinks until after the food when we had to ask and they forgot to give us silverware. Wasn't terrible exactly but I'm not sure how this place is so highly rated

I came here for Taco Tuesday hoping to get some tasty, affordable tacos. Very disappointing; tacos were extremely small and virtually flavorless. The corn tortillas were not even warmed up, so it was pretty mucha raw taco with a small amount of unsalted meat filling (no veggies either). I definitely will not be returning here, as $3 was far too much for a taco at this place.

Traditional tamales & plantain plátano empanadas - ID say they’re made for Sharing since they were tapas sized
Tamales - super combination and variety. Love them all. Would definitely return for the vegetarian variety
Platanos - beautifully stuffed and cooked. Crema and extra cheese were a great additional.

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies and meatless of options
