    Came here on a Friday afternoon. Staff were super friendly from beginning to end with taking our order at the register and asking if we needed anything else. We tried their Chicken Tinga Tostada, Elote Mexicano and Braised beef quesadilla. The chicken was juicy with the sauce served over the fried tostada. The corn was slightly cheesy but could have benefited from a squeeze of lime overtop. The quesadilla had a wonderful grill on it and the meat was so flavorful. Overall, it's a beautiful small establishment with lots of mom and pap flare. Would love to come again and get another quesadilla or try one of their many other items.

    Food - 5/5 We got the esquite, al pastor tacos, carne asada tacos, birria tacos, and al pastor quesadillas. As a Californian, I've really missed good Mexican food, which is a big "missing" in Boston. I especially enjoyed the al pastor - great flavor and texture. Salsa is bomb too - nice and smokey! Ambiance - 4/5 The restaurant is small and doesn't have indoor seating. Definitely brings you home to California or any other place with Mexican food. Service - 5/5 Service is fast and staff is friendly and warm. They mainly speak Spanish, so be prepared to whip out your Spanish food lingo. Other notes: 1. There is paid street parking that's easily accessible right next to the restaurant. 2. The beach is half a block down if you want to find a place to eat.

    My comfort food is the Pub Nachos - very good sharing size. My partner loves the quesadillas, although sometimes the meat can make it messy or harder to eat. We have regularly ordered takeout from here over the past year. It is a very cutely decorated and small storefront in Revere, steps away from the beach and T-stop. Parking is also fairly available all days around early evening, with meters directly in front of the store. The staff is very friendly and helpful, even when there are delays or concerns. There have been network connection issues in the past with online/mobile orders, and a few cases of the store being very smoky inside from poor ventilation.

    So I called to place an order and I guess that they had just stopped taking orders, but then the lady told me that because I was only ordering something small that she would squeeze me in so anyways I went inside the store like not even 10 minutes later, and my food was ready then I decided to grab a drink when I grabbed the drink and tried to open it the drinkfell on the floor and it went everywhere. The young lady working there was so nice. She cleaned up the drink even though I offered to and she even gave me a whole new drink for free. Their customer service is amazing. The food is amazing. I just want to say thank you for always consistently providing great food and customer service. I'll definitely be back. Also I live like 20 minutes away so when I got home, my food was still nice and hot and it tasted amazing. I got the fish tacos. I'll definitely be back.

    Authentic Mexican food in an up and coming neighborhood. My only issue here is that the person behind the counter couldn't hear too well. I had to repeat my order 5 times. Must get the elope loco!

    The best Mexican food in Boston! Cute little corner restaurant with an awesome friendly staff :)

    Tinga Quesadilla
    Liz J.

    One of my favorite Mexican places for takeout. My fiancé discovered this place on door dash and we've been ordering from here ever since. The quesadillas are great, the esquite (essentially street corn) is unbelievable, and the birria tacos are very good! I haven't had anything I don't like. AND it's always so quick when we order.

    Carne en Chile Colorado Quesadilla
    Ibrahim M.

    I go to this place a lot. Everything I've had so far, tastes amazing! My go-to here is Carne En Chile Colorado (Braised Beef), I always ask for extra spicy. It has consistently been good. There's definitely consistency in the taste and I've come to this place no less than 30 time since it's close to my work. Shrimp Burrito is another item that tastes great. I'm pretty good at taking picture of my food but as soon as the food comes I forget about it BECAUSE IT REALLY THAT GOOD! I definitely recommend!

    I love this little spot on Shirley Ave in Revere, MA. Before this restaurant, I had never had Mexican Street Corn (esquite means Mexican Corn Salad). I never liked corn as a child, and I am from Iowa lol, but WOW, the way they prepare their corn on the cob with the different options of spices and cotija cheese.. a MUST try! For lunch, I love to run over to this spot and get the side of rice and beans. To me, this is an entire meal for only $5.00. The prices here are very reasonable, the food is delicious, good quality, and lots of variety - pork, chicken, fish tacos, roasted vegetables to list the main dish core ingredients then a huge variety of options and sides. The restaurant is clean, very well kept up and painted with amazing art on the walls. I think it's best to get it to go as there are only a few counter height seats along the window (3 or 4).

    Remember that Simpsons where Homer wanted to gain 100 pounds to qualify for disability? He should have just come here because all I want is to eat everything here all the time. If you liked the Elote cart they had before this (and still have) you will not be disappointed. Came here with my super hot and real vegetarian girlfriend and she loved her food.

    Cubana Torta
    Nancy B.

    The owner of my favorite food truck (Eloti roasted corn) opened this Mexican street food biz that I was dying to try. It was worth it! We had the pollo mole and cubana tortas and a slice of tres leches. All were the best that I've ever had! The mole was proper/authentic and the bits of chicken breast meat tender, it was a party in your mouth! The Cuban sandwich had fried ham, carnitas and chorizo, the sauce really pulled it together. Interestingly the bread used on each sandwich was different and it's texture matched its ingredients. The tres leches was moist and simply textbook fantastic. The owners were super nice and shared that it was grandma's mole recipe, etc. The store was very clean and the credit card monitor was wiped down after I used it-ie they are following Covid protocols. I can't wait to try more items!

My family visited on a Monday evening for dinner around 7pm. There were plenty of street parking. The restaurant had a lively crowd that night, a little boy's birthday/family dinner. I ordered my favorite dish, the Classico Rincon Limeno. I highly recommend this dish, you get a seafood ceviche served in a full body wine glass and a plate full of lightly battered fried seafood. We also tried the Seco De Cabrit, which is Peruvian lamb stew. You get stewed lamb meat with beans and rice. If you love lamb stew, this is a hearty dish to try. My husband ordered the Arroz Marisco, which is reminiscent of a seafood paella. Also good. The whole family shared one flan for dessert. It was very rich. Overall, everything we tried was delicious. The food came out quick and we were pleased with everything we ordered. Customer service was top notch. I can't wait to come back to try more dishes.

After making a reservation, the three of us arrived shortly after noon to find the restaurant completely empty. In fact, there were no staff in sight. After calling toward the kitchen, a waitress appeared, and we seated ourselves. After ordering waters and iced teas, we looked over the extensive menu and chose: * Ay Caramba! ($16) - A vegetarian tapa packed with corn, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and more. * Margherita Pizza ($18) - Garlic confit, fresh basil, vine-ripened tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. * Panko-Crusted Baked Haddock ($32) - Served with roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a white wine cream reduction. The Ay Caramba! was the standout dish of the meal. It was flavorful, with a great texture, and easily our favorite. The Margherita pizza featured a very thin, crisp crust with fresh tomatoes and a light touch of sauce, making for a good but not exceptional pizza. Opinions on the haddock were mixed--one diner enjoyed it, while another thought it had a slightly fishy taste. The restaurant itself has a pleasant, inviting atmosphere, and once service began, our waitress was friendly, attentive, and checked on us several times throughout the meal. At almost $100 with tip, this isn't an innexpensive place. That said, we enjoyed lunch and would be happy to return. Tip: Metered parking is available on the street and there is a small parking lot next to Valsos. You can also park further down toward the beach, about a 5-minute walk to the restaurant.
