“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!“

“excelente lugar se encuentran artículos hispanos que no están a la mano en cualquier lugar. se los recomiendo excellent place to find Hispanic articles that are not available anywhere. I highly recommend them.“

“Paisanos is our family standard. We eat there usually once or twice a month and have been doing so since before Covid. The food is excellent - it is correctly prepared, very tasty, and the portions are more than sufficient. The menu is divided between Guatemalan and Mexican dishes. The margaritas are very real - made with real lime juice, Cointreau and top shelf tequilas. Prices have increased very slowly, so the most expensive dinners are now just over 20$. The service is fast and very friendly.“

“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!“

“Melissa brought me the vegan empanadas they had made with their collab with Impossible meat. And do you know how hard it was to not eat all 4 at once?! So flavorful and yummy! The ingredients were well distributed throughout, the dough was absolutely delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. Everything she does is amazing and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!“

“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“

“What great experience!

The food was excellent. I would recommend Orinoco too all!

My family and I will enjoy another great meal the next time we are in the Boston area.“

“La Fábrica was absolutely delicious! The food was amazing and full of flavor—truly the highlight of the experience. Our server was very nice. The atmosphere is super cute but most importantly, the food really stands out. Definitely a place worth visiting again“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We loved the food at Celeste, as we do that of La Royal as well. The causa with tuna tartare and mixed ceviche were both excellent, as was the special, seafood soup, more like a cioppino but with a lighter broth and Peruvian flavors. (Lots of bell peppers but you could probably ask for it without them if you wish. For me they were easy to pick out.) It took a while to order but then the food came fast. The cocktails are great and we are usually too full for dessert. Best to avoid the tables by the door on a cold night due to cold air coming in. Look forward to the new place in Boston, too, from the same owners!“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

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

“Great place for date night.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“
