The steak fajita plate is perfectly seasoned and tender. This restaurant also has affordable house margaritas. The staff are friendly. They even bring my daughter a non-spicy salsa.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment. Sometimes the playing music can be loud. Changing table available in one of the restrooms.

Wheelchair accessibility: The back entrance is accessible.

We went to buy some tacos, they got them cold and with nothing I ordered and to make matters worse, they charged a lot. I won't buy again, there is very bad service.

Average at best, the tamale was the worst. I’ve never been served such a bad plate in my life. Don’t eat here just skip this place. The bartender was good. The first time I ate here it wasn’t good I thought maybe they had a bad night but after trying the second time I’ll never eat here again.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would solely based on the service. The staff is so sweet and attentive here! And it seems like half their business is to-go orders, but they have such a good system that it doesn't impact service at all. Maybe that's because the food is so good, always hot and delicious. It is in need of some upgrades to the seating, sure. But the atmosphere is enough to keep you there for at least 2 margaritas and dinner despite that small thing. We're moving out of state soon and this is one of the places that I'll miss very much. If you haven't been here, you should go, you won't be disappointed! Tip well, they deserve it.

Worst veggie quesadilla I've ever had! Barely any cheese and huge chunks of veggies. Some places are better in house than take-out. My partner's burrito was just alright. I wouldn't recommend for take out.

This was my first and I’m pretty sure will be my last time I order from this place. I ordered tres amigos it is not worth what I paid for this dish. The side salad could have been wrapped separately from the rice and beans, the salad was all mixed up with the beans. Shrimp only 3 of those and a lot of onions and green peppers. No utensils, no napkins. Overall i didn’t have a good experience with this place. I was really craving Mexican food but just by looking at the dish when arrived my appetite was gone.

Love this place! Whether dine-in or delivery, this is some of the best Mexican food I've had in greater Boston. Fajitas are wonderful, as are the enchiladas and the tacos.

Parking: Paid city lot. Have fun remembering which app to use, but you won't pay more than a few bucks.
