    One per order. Super small and not worth the price.
    Olaedo E.

    I stopped by on a Friday evening. It was empty inside and I assumed they were closing. I ordered the elotes, beef empanadas and churros to go. Everything came out fairly quickly. Elotes - 6/10. The flavor was good/typical, but the corn was hard and the kernels were too short to get proper bites. Beef empanadas - 5.5/10. They were so small, dry and NOT worth the price. Churros- 7/10. They were basic and nothing special. Overall, the food wasn't impressive or worth the price. Although it's close by and convenient, I doubt I'll return.

    Decent Mexican food and friendly service in a mom-and-pop shop! Came here for dinner and ordered a beef empanada to start. They accidentally brought us another table's order of 2 veggie empanadas which were good and they only charged us for the one. Then we got chips and guac. The guac was fresh, a bit salty, and the chips also fresh and crispy. I ordered the enchiladas for dinner and got green, red, and mole sauce. I enjoyed their mole and green sauce but didn't care for their red. The beans and rice served on the side were decent. Overall, nice experience and it won't break the bank. Plus, they were very hospitable. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 3/5

    TACOS DE PESCADO

    Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Sweet, tangy, smoky elote. Crispy, flavorful, and filling Talipa tacos. I highly recommend going here!!! I'll be back...

    TACOS AL PASTOR PLATE
    Janet D.

    My tacos al pastor were disappointing. Tacos al pastor for $17.95. 3 street tacos with pork and canned pineapple that I didn't find to be an interesting mix and wouldn't have ordered if I've known from the description that's want it was. Beans were very salty and rice just didn't have a lot of flavor. My partner had the chicharron (pork belly) taco plate and he was pleased with the flavors. He had a similar reaction to the rice and beans. Server was nice and checked on us often.

    Had a lovely evening at Abuela's Table tonight! The staff was incredibly attentive and polite -- our waiter brought water over immediately and checked in very regularly. He took care of us very well! The food was delicious! We started with chips and guacamole for an appetizer. The portion was small for anything more than 2 people, but the guacamole was well-made. I had the Chicken Enchiladas with molé sauce. The sauce felt heavy at first, but I quickly realized it complimented the dish very well. I will definitely order this dish again in the future! My friends ordered tacos al pastor and tamales. Both were huge fans of their dishes as well. Highly recommend this JP gem!

    One of the best meals we've had in the past few months! We got a reservation at Abuela's table for Fri night. When we reached, it was busy but not too crowded. We wanted to try some of their specialties and unique dishes so we got a few for the table- grasshopper tacos, cactus salad, fried plantains, shrimp tacos, and a side of Mexican rice. Everything was great!! First time trying grasshopper and we were pleasantly surprised. The way they make it, it's very crunchy and the seasoning has a tang to it. The cactus salad was also delicious. The dressing is quite sour, so beware. The shrimp tacos were delicious. It came with a bowl of beans, not sure why, but that paired much better with our side of rice which would've been dry on its own. Fried plantains kinda stole the show because they picked the plantains at the perfect stage, where they were just right in terms of texture and sweetness. Wait staff were attentive and the decor is colorful and cute. We had a nice long relaxing dinner and would love to be back.

    Enchiladas
    Bailey B.

    This is hands down the best Mexican food I've had in a while. Boston is craving good Mexican places!! I brought my roommate who is Mexican and she loved it too, which is saying something. I had the enchiladas with the green sauce and it was amazing. It had a little bit of a kick but I have 0 spice tolerance and definitely enjoyed it. GET THE HORCHATA! Also the painting/mural on the wall was so cute. The employees were very kind and provided fast service! We had no wait when coming on a weekday at dinner time

    Chicharron Taco
    Elias G.

    We wanted to give this place a try as it's relatively new. We got the Chicken Enchiladas, Flautas de Pollo, Tamales, Elote, and Chicharron Tacos. The Flautas de Pollo were pretty good, albeit the chicken inside was a little dry. The Enchiladas were also good, as was the elote (though the corn was not a juicy or sweet as I typically prefer). The Tamales were decent, though again the meat was a bit dry; if i were to come again, I'd probably opt for the vegetarian ones. The chicharron was cooked really well and was yummy--crispy and juicy, but not tough. The black beans that came with most dishes were well seasoned and tasty. The service was ok, and the ambiance was ok (nothing spectacular, fairly nondescript). They do seem to have a feedback problem with their speaker system, which I noticed almost immediately (but others seemed not to), which was at times a bit annoying. We also got dessert, the churros and chocoflan. The churros were good, but we didn't care for the chocoflan; the flan was not great and the chocolate cake part was dense (but not in a fudgey delicious way). We'd probably pass on dessert if we came back.

    TAMALES

    I was so sad about the loss of oriental de Cuba (previous restaurant in this location) I put off trying this place for a long time. Boy, do I regret my choices. I went with a group of 6 of us so got to sample many things. Everyone has positive reviews of their plates! I was impressed by the vegetarian options as well. They have a solid brunch menu in addition to the regular options. My favorite things were the tamale sampler and the Mexican coffee! Service was great, answering all of our questions and offering solid recommendations. Will be back to try more things off the menu!

    Worst taco Tuesday ever. The tacos are tiny, flavorless and dry. And for $3.50 each! Don't waste your money.

    Food was great! I love big plates and filling dishes!…read more Service was ideal. Ambiance: there isn't that many people so it doesn't get full

    We were in search of good pupusas not too far away from where we live. This was a win! It's a…read morepleasant sit-down experience. They have lots of good beverage options- my bf Francisco P. & I had horchatas and our dinner companion had a papaya shake. On request, they can prepare the shake with water instead of milk. You can see the female chef in the kitchen preparing the food lovingly by hand. I tried the bean and cheese pupusas, which were very good. Our companion also tried the chicken pupusas, which she said were also very good. We thought they tasted freshly made, to order. I love that the pupusas had the bits of crunchy cheese that form when some cheese leaks out the side. I was also glad to have the red sauce and pickled cabbage for putting on top. Maybe next time I'd order more of that because I love the pickled cabbage, or curtido. My bf had a Salvadoran combo plate- that had a pupusa, a Salvadoran tamale, and a Salvadoran enchilada (which closely resembles a Mexican tostada). I had a taste of the tamale, which had chicken, & which I thought was really flavorful, and different in consistency than a Mexican tamale- softer.
