Amazing salsa that is fresh and spicy. The help is extremely friendly. All the entrees are pretty solid.

Really nice flavor on the carnitas and cabeza, solid lengua, and terrible carne asada tacos. Would say these tacos are smaller than used to (probably could get at this size and price in Manhattan which is saying something) so would just keep that in mind when ordering

Authentic hole in the wall with an extensive menu. This place is always packed. It’s a neighborhood favorite with trucks lining the street at lunch and dinner. No alcohol, real Mexican coke in a glass bottle or horchata.

Parking: Just grab a spot anywhere on the street.

100% delicious and fully pleasing! Ate here last night and regret that I didn’t order more. I will be coming here weekly. The food got to my table and the tortilla was still very warm to touch (unlike other similar restaurants that pull the tortilla out of the plastic wrap). The portion size was plenty for what you pay for. They have a hot sauce in a bottle that isn’t on the table unless you ask for it. The service was great, they speak English for the non Spanish speakers. They also are hospitable and cater to you attentively. The restaurant itself is tiny, there are about 6 tables to dine in. No alcohol, but do have delicious milkshakes and horchata. This place is a MUST try. Might be top 5 taquerias in MA. Cash and card accepted.

Parking: Along the road there is free street parking.

The tacos and nachos the food in general is really good here . It tastes fresh and tasty . The price is responsible for the portion size and freshness . The staff is friendly . The place is small like a hole in the wall . It’s more of a takeout place although you can eat inside . The vibe is overall welcoming . They have parking ?️ next door so it’s not an issue .
