    On the grill
    Tara D.

    On the road traveling and looking for authentic Tacos for breakfast (I.e. before 10am), and this fit the criteria. El Pikante is located across from the Framingham MBTA and part of a very large, well stocked Mexican mart. The food was made fresh to order. Also everything was delicious. We ordered a beef and pork burrito, fried chicken and chorizo taco. helpful to order in Spanish if you want substitutions. Best burrito I have had since 1995. The meat was crisped up on the grill, nice spice and very flavorful. The burrito wrapper also tasted homemade. It did not taste like it was it was out of a package and warmed up. Wonderful stop and worth the drive/ traffic!

    Central Food Market, is one of those hard to find places that serves authentic Latin American food. This market has everything from hot food made daily to frozen food, from different Central American countries. All is very yummy, I've tried the pupupas mixtas and the plantano con frijol (fried banana with black beans) and have loved them both. They breakfast burritos in the morning and tacos for lunch. The only down side to this place is that it's a first-come-first-serve kind of take out, stuff tends to run out towards the end of the day and they don't make more until the next day. Being Guatemalan I love tor-trix, it's the national snack of Guatemala, and to my surprise they had snack size bags of lemon flavored tor-trix here!

    Had the asada quesadillas, it was phenomenal my only complaint is their delivery menu is in spanish. Totally worth the effort to translate.

    This was our third time dining at the Framingham location. We have lived in the area long enough to…read moresee three restaurants come and go from this spot. Even though the space housed other ethnic restaurants since then, the decor and interior feel reminiscent of the old Iguana Cantina. The servers are friendly and quick to help. A bottomless basket of complimentary warm chips are thick and tasty and served with a plate of refried beans as well as a bowl of sneakily spicy salsa. I ordered the Loco Burrito on this visit and was pleased with the flavor of the carne asada beef diced up inside. This burrito was stuffed with meat, black beans, and rice and was topped with a sprinkling of cotija. I usually love a super cheesy burrito but this felt lighter on a hot summer day. After downing lots of chips and a delicious fountain Diet Coke (IYKYK), I only had room for half of my burrito. My teenage son happily finished the rest for me the next day. This restaurant is quiet and unassuming- and never feels busy. I hope y'all try it and love it so that they stick around!

    We stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday and were surprised to find the restaurant so empty. Service…read morewas prompt, and I started with their Michelada Mazatlan, a not-too-spicy tomato base w/ your choice of beer. I opted for a Corona, and the drink, with its tajin covered rim and trio of seasoned shrimp, was a refreshing start to the meal. The Chile Verde, served with either corn or flour tortillas, is a plentiful portion...easily enough to make 3 tacos. The pork was salty, tender, and flavorful, and the creamy beans were a nice complement. My family also enjoyed the Carne Asada and large Loco Burrito. Despite an empty dining room, the atmosphere was upbeat with friendly and attentive staff, colorful decor and Mexican tunes at the perfect volume on the radio.

    Taqueria Mexico Framingham (Not a promo just food fun!)…read moreYup it's been almost ten years or so since I have been here!! They do have another location in Waltham!! I have to say they did a great job with the renovations. Opens at 11am and closes at 9pm! Went with the Mexican plate which came with two beef enchiladas, shredded chicken taco, rice and beans and of course I had to get a Chorizo taco! Let me say fantastic food and the portions sizes with the prices unreal! with the two plates and a soda came to $27 then added a $10 tip of course! Definitely stop by for lunch and or dinner!!

    You're going to walk in here and think, "it smells weird, and this place is kind of sketchy." But…read moredon't leave! Keep your hope alive! The food was shockingly excellent and margaritas - while not the best I've ever had, decent and even better for the $7 price point. Margarita had just enough alcohol to make you feel real nice. I got the tacos (chicken and Barbacoa on a corn tortilla) and they were great. Tasted super authentic and loaded with cilantro and onions. The guacamole on the side was average but the salsa was good and had nice chunks of onions and peppers in it. My friends loved their enchiladas (enchilada de pollo with salsa verde), and expressed that the rice was nicely salted and beans were Smokey. One said she had one enchilada and was full and still had two more to go! Also heard the place is BUMPING late night on Saturday's so will need to check it out.
