Nice spot for Mexican fare. I got the Pork Chimichanga. It was hefty and had a good portion of…read morepork. Pork flavor was delicious. Wish they gave more of the toppings (guac, pico, sour cream). The salsas were all quite tasty, with the medium-spiced habanero being my fav. The spicy salsa packs a significant kick so watch out haha

If there is one thing you do here, get the nachos.... seriously. Best I've ever had!…read moreThe food here is really good and the portions are absolutely insane. My partner and I arrived with empty stomachs and thought we could annihilate an appetizer and two mains but we were very quickly proven wrong. The nachos (we got pork) were so packed with meat and toppings that halfway through we knew it was over. Each bite was perfection though and it was so worth it. We also ordered a steak torta and some quesadillas. The steak torta was pretty average tasting to me, and the cuts of steak were definitely different than I'm used to. I appreciated it came with a side of fries, but that honestly wasn't even necessary. The quesadillas were excellent and reminded me of what you'd get in Oaxaca! The cheese pull goes crazy too. We also ordered a horchata and I was also pretty disappointed in this. I'm not sure exactly why but it just wasn't hitting the spot for me. And trust me, I love horchatas. Overall this place is a really good option if you're looking for some tasty Mexican food. It's super close to the Blue Line, the wait staff are incredibly nice and accommodating, and the ambience inside the restaurant is great too.

It…read morewas quite busy so it took a little long for food to come out, but they do give chips and salsa to munch on while you wait. I ordered the desyanos mi pueblito and it was really good. 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.

Authentic Mexican food…read more La Hacienda in East Boston is great for some good Mexican food. I went the other night. A friend who recommended this place said I would love it. They were spot on. To start I got the house made guacamole with Chicharron on top. It was good but the chicharron was a little stale you can tell. Like it had been sitting for the day. But still not bad... The chicken and shrimp fajitas with the as tortillas was on point! I'd definitely get it again. And the main margarita was delicious. Strong and well worth it!!!

Guy Fieri may have put Angela's Cafe on the map over a decade ago but since that time they've put…read morein the work to become a beloved Eastie institution. As someone who eats out a little too frequently, Angela's is where I find myself most often. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with family and/or friends or flying solo, Angela's always delivers and after every meal there, I'm already planning my next visit. Snagging a table for breakfast can sometimes be cutthroat, especially on the weekend, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Adela, Roxana, and the entire breakfast crew are always a delight. Whether you choose traditional Mexican or American, you're in for an outstanding meal. I can't recommend enough the deluxe rancheros with chorizo (and green sauce!). For something sweet, you can't go wrong with their pancakes and French toast. On the caffeine front, their coffee is always hot and never-ending, and sometimes I can't resist also having one of their tasty espresso martinis. For dinner, you'll typically find me at the bar which is usually manned by the lovely Marcella. My go-to meal is the poblano and chorizo burrito and a passion fruit margarita. Oh, and their homemade tortilla chips and green and red sauces, which are my hands down favorites out of any restaurant. I've ordered this combo so often I don't have to say a word as I saddle up to the bar. Aside from my combo, I love their guacamole, tacos, tamales, and enchiladas, but as with breakfast, you really can't go wrong with anything they offer. Angela's Cafe excels at what I consider the trifecta of dining out: mouthwatering food and cocktails, fast and friendly service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. Props to owner Joel for maintaining this high standard all these years and frequently being on the premises to greet patrons. Dining options in this section of Orient Heights may be rapidly expanding but Angela's will always be my happy place. As it says right on the wall, "Mi Casa es tu Casa" and they mean it.
