    burrito
    Michele M.

    Probably one of the best quesabirria's I've had around Massachusetts. The outside was crispy and the meat was so soft. The connsomee was the perfect dipping soup. We also got the quesadillas which came with lettuce, pico degallo, corn, guacamole, and sour cream. It was SO good! Everything just melted in my mouth. The al pastor tacos were okay. I think everything else set the bar too high already. I came back a second time and tried their burrito and it was solid. The steak was tender and juicy. I love that this place gives guac for free! I did have to add my own spicy sauce to add a little more flavor to it. I typically order online and it's ready for pick up within 15 minutes. The people are very nice!

    Horrible experience, food looks completely unappetizing and it did do just that. They were nice but I won't be coming back. No idea how it has 4.5 stars.

    Order all the time, tonight was terrible. Cheese on Birria was like glue tasted horrible. Thank god we had chips atleast, will not be getting food from here again.

    Ordered our food to-go so service was very quick. The taco meat was okay, a little dry. The sweet pineapple on top was delicious though.

    Delicious food! It's mostly a chain in RI but the Carne Asada is so good! They also give a little bag of chips with each order and salsa!

    007 tacos were delicious. I usually order 3 tacos and love that you can customize each one with different meat and toppings.

    We came around 6pm on a weekday and it was completely empty…read more We came here because we saw tik tok videos of how fun, busy, and vibrant this place was but I think we just came at the wrong time and wrong day. The business is sort of in a house? It was small and kind of dark inside. It was definitely an interesting experience,,, The appetizer was reallyyy good, I forgot the name though... The mole however, was not very good. The mole was liquidy and the chicken was dry. Overall, I think this place is more for fun busy nights where you just drink and apps. I'd like to come again when its busier and we aren't the only customers.

    Tulum is an elevated Mexican restaurant an extensive food and drink menu (especially tequila) too…read more It's in kind of a weird neighborhood of Somerville that's hard to get to without a car but lots of parking. We started off with two drinks- a frozen mangonada and this passion fruit drink. They were both solid but I liked the mangonada better because the passion fruit cocktail had too much pulp in it! For food, we started off with chips and guac. This guac was some of the best I've had. It was super fresh and you could tell exactly what ingredients they used. We also their pork ribs! The ribs fell off the bone and I loved the warm sauce except it was a tiny bit dry. The sauce was reminiscent of an umami bbq sauce. We decided to try their zucchini dish, as recommended by the manager! I don't love zucchini usually but I liked it. It was roasted with cheese, sauces, and some shrimp. Very creative, Lastly we got the tuna ceviche of the day. I didn't really like this because it was really heavy on the dill. I think it would've been good without it. However the presentation was gorgeous and it came with plantains. Overall the vibes are superb here for a date, girls night, or whatever!!

Service (I wish I got her name but the woman at the front) was super sweet. She asked if it was my first time there and complimented me on the choices I made. She encouraged me to return to sit down for a meal, etc etc. I ordered the food to go ... it was a surprise for my husbands birthday. He is from El Salvador and loves authentic Salvadoran food. This food didn't disappoint! Everything was delicious; the papusas, barría tacos, the empanadas... I also got was seemed like a buffet of food. It was a tray with rice, shrimp, chicken, beef, pork, guacamole, sour cream, etc. Lots of dipping sauces which added to all the amazing flavor!!!! We will definitely be back!

We tried the bean and cheese arepa, beef enchiladas and birria tacos. All were really good. The arepa was a good ratio of filling to dough. Beef enchiladas came were super cheesy outside and the side of beans were really tasty. Birria tacos were so delicious and loaded with cheese and beef with the perfect crunchy outside. The complimentary chips come out hot and super tasty. They have habanero tabasco on the table which was so hot and so good! My only complaint is that they did forget my order.. so everyone was chowing down and maybe halfway through their meal before I got my tacos.

    This is a great spot for food in Medford! I've visited several times, and each experience has been…read moreconsistently enjoyable. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. Keep in mind that the restaurant serves tapas-style dishes, so the portions are smaller. I highly recommend giving this place a try, and the De La Casa tacos are an absolute must-order!

    We were brought in by the surplus of good reviews online…read more First impressions, interior is lovely--you feel like you're outside in this whimsical garden. Waitstaff is very kind as well. I got the margarita de la casa with salt, it was your classic margarita, but I liked it. Smaller size. For food, we started with the tamal with pork mole, which was really tasty, and fresh. Only one per order though, at $12 a piece. The size wasn't huge either. I then ordered the arroz del mar. It was creamy rice mixed with calamari, shrimp, and octopus. I was expecting more of a cream sauce but it was more like a watery broth, with a kick. It was spicy but tolerable. I liked the flavors but it didn't hit my craving. My boyfriend got the pollo con mole which he liked but I don't think he was crazy about it. I was still hungry so we ordered the plantano macho with beef. This stuffed plantain was good, I liked the cheese on it. But again, small size.. I will say I didn't know it was tapas style until we overheard the waitress tell another table. It makes sense in hindsight but we were quite hungry and this might have deterred us from coming. Portions were small even for tapas style. I saw a group and I'm not sure how they managed without ordering a surplus of food. I overheard them order at least 7 tacos...one per order... Strong flavors and fresh ingredients, I would say that. I think this is an elevated experience for food and it was a pleasant experience, but I wouldn't rush back because I don't think the portions were worth it even for tapas style.

We ordered the following: - fish tacos (3) - flavor wise this fell flat for me. No punch of seasoning to the fish personally. - Birria tacos combo - fire combo. I just love birria style tacos. Highlight for me hot and well cooked beef, tender. - Birria chimichanga (2) this is hefty, i thought this was a good chimichanga, i would probably ask for extra sauce next go around, it got a bit dry without it. - carne asada enchiladas, the lady enjoyed this, carne was moist and tender. - pork belly & yuca loved the pork belly originally thought it was more like a chicharron dish but enjoyed this style , the yuca wasn't my jam. - tajin elote (2) love tajin elotes so no complaints! - churro espresso Great spot, great service.

I would probably skip on the fish tacos next time just because it wasn't really my thing but everything else was tasty. The Birria tacos and Birria chimichanga were out of this world... my favorites out of everything we ordered. Very flavorful and generous portion sizes. Honestly we ordered way more than we could eat lol but they made for the best leftovers the next day. We were able to walk-in without reservations for a table of 3 & service is very quick and efficient!! Food came quick and pipin' hot! Would definitely come back again & I highly recommend.
