    Amazing authentic Puerto Rican food! We ordered mofongo with chicharron, a frozen pineapple drink, and Empanadas . Everything was so good I can't wait to go back. Service was so friendly and place was very clean.

    Pollo guisado SUPER RICO!!

    The best service!! I went with my family for my birthday, This place is super clean, super good! The food is made by puertoricans and the taste... took me back to PR similar like my grandma and that are big shoes to fill!!! The ladys are super nice, super attentive Super gentle literally makes me feel like home I literally felt so happy! The best Puertorican restaurant i ever tried in EU. The food taste handmade with legit flavor No premade or frozen The fill up your plate 1000% And I will recommend this place 10/10 20/20 This make my birthday happy!

    Customized pernil burrito with chips and salsa

    NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!!! Customized pernil burrito, with chips and salsa this baby is HUGE!

    Pernil with Rice. Plate w/1 meat option, $10.99

    UNBEATABLE. So grateful I found this place! Go, order the Pernil (roast pork) with rice, and a tres leche cake. Total was $15/16. The pork was tender, and the servings were enough to feed me for 2 meals. A meal like this in Boston would be $25 lol The woman was lovely. The first time I came, I asked to use the restroom before offering to buy anything and they said of course, and let me use the bathroom past the kitchen! I was not expecting that. The food stations I walked past were clean and organized, and ingredients looked fresh. I will make this my go to place for lunch.

    The Italian Sub recommended by ChatGPT, originated in 1995. The place claims to provide the best…read moreItalian sub in Boston, and it truly was excellent. Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office. After about 40 minutes, the bread had become somewhat dry and hard.

    Arguably the best sandwich in Boston I was not let down by Monica's…read more The line was long on a Sunday but very orderly and went smoothly. The sandwiches themselves are massive and freshly made. The bread is the right amount of soft to crust. All in all I wouldn't change a thing it's definitely a must go.

    One of my local favorites! You can never go wrong here. The portions are huge and the food is…read moredelicious. I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out. The cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)

We were hot, starving and tired. My littlest loved his meatball pasta. He looked so delighted when it was set in front of him. He devoured it with the same zeal. It was the best of the pastas we tried. His Italian ancestors would have been proud.

We were treated very nicely as soon as we walked in. Very well staffed and everyone had a smile on their face. My son ordered chicken parm and I got a grilled chicken. The sub size is amazing. You will not believe how big the rolls are. They are the equivalent of 2 subs but the price is relatively cheap! As we waited, we both noticed how busy they were. The phone was ringing and the there was a ton of foot traffic picking up and placing orders. The lady who is in charge was so sweet. She makes everyone feel right at home and welcome! What a nice touch! Our food was ready rather quickly. We got 2 cans of soda and a brownie. The price was very reasonable! Considering how big the roll is, we got a 2 for 1 deal! How did it take me this long to eat here? I found the location on social media. We will definitely be back! Price: cheap considering how much we got Parking: easy....Eastern Ave or side streets Vibe: inviting/welcome Will I be back? For sure....if they were open tomorrow, I would go back tomorrow! Looking forward to trying a few different things and possibly sitting at the bar! 5 stars!!
