    Birria Trio Tacos & bottled Horchata
    Lizzie Y.

    I have been to their Dorchester Ave location a few years ago when they were selling birria taco DIY kits. I vaguely remember it being kind of disappointing but I didn't let that experience affect me from trying this location when they first opened. I was honestly quite excited when they first opened because this is the first taco spot to open in town, located on Central Ave, so I was hopeful that this would end up being a great, convenient taco spot to go to without having to go out of Milton. I had great talks with the owner, who actually is planning to open a second location in East Milton Square, replacing what was known as "MHOP" (Milton House of Pizza). I tried their birria tacos trio and horchata which was prepackaged in a bottle. The tacos had great color and were garnished beautifully with onions and cilantro. The looks of the tacos were deceiving and taste-wise, they were extremely bland and meat was drier than sandpaper. The tortillas of the tacos were flimsy, as well, tasting super doughy rather than crispy. It was like they dipped the tortillas in the consommé and didn't bother actually frying it The horchata was not half bad though but it is also difficult to mess up horchata. The tacos I would rate a 1/5. Overall, I bumped El Barrio to a 3/5 because the staff and owner seemed really nice but the food itself was not enjoyable and one of the worst I've tried in a while.

    Some of the rice is hard. I had to add pico to try to soften up

    I used to love El Barrio's food,but lately, the food has been trash. If you order tacos, make sure to ask for some fresh ones, or they'll give you stale ones. The rice is hard. I don't think they care about the freshness of their food at certain times anymore

I would rather have Thai food, Indian food or Italian food. However, having said this, I can state that this particular Mexican restaurant is truly wonderful. The atmosphere is clean and pleasant, but nothing special. The service is above par. Servers are polite and smile and get the orders correct and come back and check on patrons without being overbearing. The food, is where this place truly shines. The dish that I relished at sombrero's Mexican restaurant was the Burrito Del Mar! I do have to say that the reason it didn't get an additional star is that the restaurant management seems to tolerate screaming unruly babies. I know that crying and unruly children are not the fault of the restaurant management. They are, however, something that can be controlled by asking parents with such children to take them out of the restaurant until they calm down. Not only is this reasonable, but more and more restaurants are instituting policies about unruly babies and children. We spent a significant amount of money on our dinner because everything is expensive these days. We are not paying for surround sound coming from unruly children.

I will say my order took about 10-15 minutes longer than anticipated (timing provided online) Inside the restaurant is spacious and clean. Queso fries : 9/10 I added ground beef and tomatoes (and sour cream when I got home) because I wanted to remake the border fries from Taco Bell, and these were amazing. Fries could've been a little crispier and tomatoes spread out or on the side so the fries don't get soggier. Chicharron taco 4/10 Nothing special and pretty dry and lacking flavor Chicken shrimp steak fajitas 8/10 Everything was seasoned very well but the shrimp was a little over cooked. The rice Spanish rice they provide is flavorful along with the black beans. Grilled chicken bowl 7/10 Would've given it an extra star but the cheese melting and just sticking to everything drives me nuts. I also don't like having to cut up my own chicken, but that's a preference. ((I asked for the sour cream and pico on the side so they wouldn't be hot)

We visited the location near Samuel Adams Brewery, and the moment you step inside, you're practically face-to-face with the cashier. The place is tiny, with just a few barstools along the wall, but it doesn't seem like a spot where people linger. It has the feel of a true neighborhood taco shop. Locals stop in for a quick bite or grab their food to go, and workers come in, order, and are back out the door in no time. I ordered a carne asada taco and a veggie taco. The carne asada was flavorful, but the veggie taco completely exceeded my expectations. Instead of the usual peppers and onions, it was loaded with fresh corn, eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, and a mix of peppers that added great flavor and texture. It was colorful, fresh, and filling without feeling heavy. The real standout, though, was their homemade habanero salsa. It packed incredible flavor with a serious kick. I could still feel the heat lingering on my tongue long after I finished eating. I loved every second of it.
