“I took my mom to tita’s kitchen for dinner and we both enjoyed it so much. We could smell the aroma of the restaurant from down the street. It smelled so delicious! The food definitely lived up to the great smells. We got tacos and a carne asada plate. I will be back and I will recommend anyone to visit Tita’s Kitchen for some yummy authentic Guatemalan/Mexican food. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“I have been going to Paisano since they opened. Every time I've gone somewhere else, I'm always disappointed that I didn't go to Paisano. The owners Hector and Emilio are really nice people and are always there. I've never had a bad meal there, and I get take-out at least once a week. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Love to see a family business thriving!!!“

“Our party of 6 had an excellent belated-valentines day dinner this past weekend. Our server Danny was so attentive and personable. He kept the drinks and laughs coming! All the food was fantastic and came out quickly. We will definitely be back again!“

“I happen to be working in the area the day I stopped in for a bite. Little did I know this was going to be become my go to spot for the foreseeable future. Not only is the food awesome, the service was great and it was so clean you could eat off the floor. You can tell whoever owns it, truly loves what they do.“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“I’m usually weary trying new places but I’m glad I did! I got the birria tacos and a zucchini pupusa. The flavor was great and it’s a small owned family business. If you’re in the area be sure to support! I wish I got a picture but was too hungry“

“I saw a Tiktok about Merengue Express and couldn't let it pass without trying it out. And let me tell you, I am glad that I did because the food was AMAZING! I ordered the spanish rice of the day which was Congri (black rice with black beans), Oxtails and Maduro (sweet plantain). The portion for my Merengue bowl was HUGE and for a reasonable price! I even shared with my coworker because I knew I wasn't going to finish it alone. I did a delivery with UberEats and one thing that sucks was that they didn't have Oxtails as a protein choice for their Merengue bowls but I did leave a message asking if they could replace the beef steak with oxtails and they did!!! I will definitely be ordering from Merengue Express again. Thank you! :)“

“Bocadillos catered my daughter's college graduation party in our home. The food dictated the theme! Year after year, my daughter has followed their "Empanda Truck" at the Snow Port in Boston. Last winter, she insisted that I go too, just so I could taste the empanadas. They were absolutely mouth wateringly delicious!!!! So much so that when it came time to choose who would cater her grad party, the choice was easy! Since Carribean/Latin American food was the menu, we complimented it by hosting a full blown Fiesta with a margarita bar and more for 40 people! We had the food prepared in advance and everything was delicious and piping hot! Our host/chef added to the fastivities with his knowledge of the food, his kindness, and his sense of humor. The cost was very reasonable as well. WARNING: Once you have these empanadas, you will never be able to eat anyone elses again.

Vegetarian options: My favorite empanada is vegetarian!!! And I'm not a vegetarian. My favorite is the corn & cheese, and my second favorite is the black bean.“

“We came here for dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We tried the Birria Taco, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco, pork taco, Nachos steak fried, Pupuas and Churros. The Birria taco was juicy and tender. Pupuas was cheesy and delicious. We also tried some tequila and margaritas. Everything was great. Would come back“

“We celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday last night at La Fabrica. I drove almost 2 hours to get to the restaurant from the Springfield, MA area because I wanted to my daughter to have authentic Spanish food and dance to a live band. I have to say the reservation team was amazing. I had to add to my reservation last minute and when I notified them I was going to be late, they moved my reservation to another time with no hesitation. They were very accommodating. The food, drinks, and the dining room staff service was great, especially our waitress. After dinner we chose to stay in the front bar area to enjoy the live band. We started to dance and have a great till first a waiter yelled at us for being in the way and told us we couldn't stand where we were standing. We moved again and someone else told us to move again. We tried to dance again and got spoked to AGAIN. We understand the place is very small and gets packed but it was very annoying, so unfortunately we left. I was enjoying the live band but the constant being told to move and move was annoying. I wish the restaurant would expand their front room or remove all the dining tables to make more room or move the live back to their back club room. That's just my opinion because it's a shame not to enjoy a live band and not being able to dance or move around instead of standing in place in a room packed like sardines. I would love to go back but because of the limited space, I would probably go somewhere else.“

“Muqueca Restaurante é simplesmente o melhor dos melhores restaurantes com a melhor culinária de comidas típicas Brasileira que tem aqui 🇺🇸! Tudo de primeira qualidade feito com amor ! Atendimento excelente, preços não vou nem falar,somente vocês indo lá para comer e saberá! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“Staff was fantastic. Food was creative and had loads of different interesting flavors. We each tried 2 cocktails, all of which were done well. The mousse desert was an unexpected highlight as well as the squid ink fettuccini with scallops in a cream sauce. Everyone from the cooks to the bartender was extremely attentive and giving a very high level of service. We can't wait to go back again soon.“

“Great place for date night.“

“Always great food and energetic atmosphere! Love my Latino family😊“

“Las Palmas catered my daughter’s 1st Birthday, and I was blown away at the quality of this food for the price! It was beyond delicious, and not only that, the detail they put into their presentation is what really sets them apart from other places I’ve used in the past. I will certainly be using Las Palmas again for future events. Thank you for completing our baby girls birthday.“

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

“Everything. They are the perfect place to relax , have fun, and enjoy great Spanish music and great Spanish food. I love this place. 💜 Norvia is the Best!!!!“

“High quality, homemade food cooked with love.“

“Tiny, inexpensive ,no frills place with friendly young staff serving up classic Dominican tostados, toasted sandwiches. Takeout only, but they have plenty of outdoor seating. Sandwiches were delicious but a real surprise was the quality of the fruit smoothies! My mango and passion fruit smoothie was so rich and summery, not drenched in sugar at all.“

“I give 5 Start because my Husband, Irish descendant, picked El Carrizal for one his B-day lunch. He loves to eat Chicharron (pork fry). The environment was very clean (you can smell clean) and cordial during past business & social gatherings also. The Owner & all Employees provided superior customer service. My Allston Neighbors & I love their home made soup with the big size fresh vegetables. Most importantly, El Carrizal is not like other restaurants where they don't allow substitution on their dishes.“

“This place is authentic Dominican food. I been to several DR restaurant and this is my go to for 3 reasons:portions ,price and flavor. I have tried the beef pastelito and the chicken 10/10. I always get the rice with pigeon peas, the fried pork belly and sweet plantain. They give generous amounts and the food is always fresh hot and delicious. I literally drive into Boston to come here on Saturday late mornings/early afternoons to get the pastelito. Even the selection of beverages are delish! If you are thinking of coming here, drive as fast as you can because it is so good! P.s My dad put me onto this restaurant ..we are Filipino“

“This place does delicious Mexican food like I have never tasted before - I highly recommend the mole burrito. Service is excellent, prices are not high for such an expensive area and place is easily accessible and even open till comparatively late. I stayed in Cambridge for 6 days for a workshop and came here almost every night (when dinner was not provided by the workshop). I think I'll definitely be visiting whenever I'm in the city next and I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Cambridge.“

“Lo mejor en Boston!! La experiencia es siempre especial e inolvidable!!“
