Everything we got was tasty, and the staff really is friendly. Highly recommended.

Been coming here for years. For the first time ever they have started charging for chips and salsa…read more This is a staple of all Mexican restaurants. Part of the fun of eating at a Mexican restaurant is sitting down and a basket of chips being delivered without asking. I understand it is tough to make ends meet in a restaurant, but raise the prices of your meals, don't take away something that has been free forever. They have lost me as a customer, there are too many other restaurants still offering complimentary chips and salas.

But compared to Mexican I've had elsewhere, it was a bit underwhelming to me. My friends and I tried a variety of tacos and bowls and all felt the same. Sounds like birria woulda been the move. The restaurant itself was pretty small and crowded, despite coming between lunch and dinner, so we turned it into a picnic. Not much to say in terms of service, but the staff seemed kind. I'd be down to give them another chance to impress me!

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.

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!!

I went with the birria tacos and was not disappointed! 3 for $15 and came with a side of Mexican rice, some sliced radish and lime wedges. The beef stew to dip the tacos in was tasty and rich. Tacos came with shredded beef and perfectly melted cheese, slammed together with a crispy outer shell and softer inner taco. Yum!

Love this place! Good food at great prices!…read more Came here last week for dinner. It's kind of a hole in the wall, counter service place in Malden. They have a menu of various Mexican fare or you can build your own burrito. I got the tacos al pastor and the chicken fajita plate. Since it was a Tuesday, all tacos were 20% off (excluding birria) plus the giant plate of fajitas was only $20! The tacos packed some good flavor and the fajitas were solid. They came with 3 corn tortillas, rice, beans, pico de gallo, and a little guac, sour cream, and lettuce. Overall, the food was more than decent: not standout but definitely really good. The only thing I didn't like was the salsa that came with the chips and burrito my friend ordered. It tasted like canned tomato soup. Service: 5/5 Ambience: 3/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 6/5

The steak was cooked perfectly and it came with everything I was craving. Plus the refried beans, creama, eggs, plantains, chicharron, and warm tortilla--yum! The pupusa was different, as it's made with a different cheese here which the waitress did warn us. Because of this, it wasn't our favorite but still good. Overall this spot is popular in East Boston, I would definitely check it out! Also if you tell them it's your birthday they will sing to you and you get to wear the special hat :)

Do not go here if you are BLACK!!!! They don't even want to serve you. We went there for drinks on…read more6/14/2026 and one very nice lady was going to serve us, then another lady told her not to serve us in Spanish unless we buy some of their food. I live locally, we have been buying their food and supporting them for years, since before the pandemic. Last night we had other food from somewhere else around the corner and just wanted to get two regular / virgin pina coladas to go. But because this particular woman doesn't like black people, she did not want to serve us the drinks. Not only was her customer service terrible, she was also trying to extort / milk us for more money. whole time the store was closing in like 30 minutes, and it would've been smart to allow your business to earn more money even if it's small, on drinks while you get ready to shut the grill down. Instead, they wanted us to order something, they would have to rush to make it, and then rush us to eat it, and then kick us out because it was closing soon. Soooooo disappointing. Actually Terrible service.

The restaurant was clean, had vibrant, bright, yellow, and red colors on the walls, and was playing Hispanic music. The server in the restaurant was very welcoming & nice and our food was ready before the indicated time. I got the shrimp burrito and a hibiscus drink and my coworkers got chicken tinga tacos. We also got chips and dip! The chips were delicious and the salsa was even better! The shrimp burrito had rice, lettuce, crema, and I put the spicy salsa Verde on it. It was packed with food that was well seasoned, and had a little crisp on the outside. I've been thinking about this burrito at least twice a week since I've had it! Definitely making my way back!
