On the Macy's side of Summer Street, I spied a new (to me) food cart with the word "AREPA"…read moreemblazoned on all sides situated across from the Summer Street entrance to the Downtown Crossing T stop. Curious about their "sweet corn patties with mozzarella cheese" which were grilled on site (but seemingly bought packaged), I stopped despite the fact that I had recently consumed my lunch. For $4, I received a 'sandwich' wrapped in foil with a paper napkin cushioning my hand against the heat of the contents. It was about 4 inches in diameter, and fully heated through. It was reminiscient of a corny grilled cheese or a corny sauceless pizza. Since, hobbit-like, it was my 2nd mid-day meal, I couldn't believe I ate the whole thing, but then I figured it wouldn't reheat in a microwave all that well... It was a nice snack, but it is priced a little high to make it as a regular snack destination for me... more like a special sometime treat. PS - it is noted on the cart that the arepas are Gluten-Free.

Just to start, the arepas I got here was disgusting. I'm not a picky eater and I was very hungry at…read morethe time, but it was so obviously expired that I physically couldn't eat it. The cheese must have been sitting out for a few days because it was so dry it wouldn't melt. Also the vendor was a huge dick to me. Got mad about me paying by card for a $6 order (that I'm 90% sure was advertised as $5) and mansplained credit card transactions to me. I was so jarred that I asked for my card back but he insisted on completing the transaction while complaining about cars payments the entire time. Do NOT eat here. You will regret it. If curious, this was the cart across from Boston Public Library.

As an adult I now eat tacos and burritos several times a week and now I feel like I should be called Mr Taco again. Because I eat this food so much, I feel like I am a good judge of burritos and tacos. With all that being said, I really enjoy this food. It is made fresh and is super tasty. Their hot sauce is flavorful but not too hot where you lose the flavor. They also put the correct amount of each item on their food. You go to some of these chain restaurants, and you are eating 90% rice and 8% cheese and 2% meat. Here they a great blend of veggies, cheeses, meats. As I mentioned above, I eat a lot of Mexican food and when I am in the Back Bay Area I only eat at this place. I have tried the rest of the fast food Mexican places in the mall and the surrounding area, and nothing comes close to them. I would have given them 5 stars, but they only take cash. Come on, it's 2018 you should take credit cards. If they took credit cards I'm sure they would have to get a double wide food cart because of all the extra business. Mr. Taco man out

Maybe the best kept secret in Greater Boston. It's a hot dog buffet in the parking lot of a…read moremotorcycle parts dealer. The staff speaks limited English but food is the language we all speak. They are so friendly and will F you up with anything you want. This isn't a toppings bar. It's thanksgiving dinner, super bowl Sunday, and forth of July all over your hot dog. Pressed, sliced, it don't matter. Worth going JUST for a dog, bun, and mustard. But you'd have to be insane to ask for anything less than "a little of everything" I was kinda iffy about paying $9 dollars for a hot dog but it's truly a steal.

This was our first time visiting the brick and mortar location. We moved away from the area and…read morehaven't had Love Dog in a couple years. The space is really nice, clean, and very nostalgic, it gives old school 90s Brasil vibes, iykyk! There is limited parking right in front of the restaurant with their food truck taking up half the spots. There were no staff present when we walked in, they were in the back, so we went up and ordered using the tablets. While convenient, I find this set up super impersonal. The food, 1 burger, 2 pressed hotdogs, and fries, took longer than we expected 20-25 mins. Once we did interact with the staff, they were super friendly! Now for the food, fries were way over salted, we had to wipe them off using napkins. Burger meat and bun were dry, the patty was also really salty. The pressed hotdogs were fine but they changed the hot dog they use and it wasn't our preference. The homemade mayo was really nice. While the sandwiches are substantial, given the quality, they're expensive when compared with similar options in the area. Overall, not as good as we remembered though I would recommend for the close to what you'd find in Brasil, authentic experience. We hope they can get back to what made them so special when they first started!

And in Downtown Crossing, there was a little kebab cart that did chicken kebabs on rice and salad with this unbelievable creamy dressing. I'd order the small chicken and salad, which came with plenty of chicken on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, green peppers, carrots, feta, and hot peppers. The chicken was always pretty dry, but throw it into a half pita with the salad and slather it in the creamy dressing - and BAM! Lunch was never the same again. Now I'm a faceless grad student, and I still stare at the clock waiting for lunch hour to start. Problem is, there's no kebab cart with creamy dressing waiting for me downstairs.

Their marketing department should really work on that ... Alas, for $6.00 (inc. tax) you can get a medium salad & chicken with a piece of pita bread thrown in the plastic bag. The salad is basically a few chunks of iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, onions, green pepper, jalapenos, sprinkled with some feta. The chicken is good and filling, although a little dry. The best part of the deal is their thick, creamy dressing. I'm pretty sure it is TERRIBLE for you - think loads of butter / mayo / creamy goodness. But hey you're putting it on lettuce, so it's ok, right?
