    What on Earth is this nonsense?

    Ordered the plate of flautas. I must say I have never before been presented with such a sad spectacle like this. I mean... take a look for yourselves. Tortilla was overcooked and ends of the chicken on both sides were burnt. Not exactly the most pleasant meal, and at almost $20 for this nonsense probably never again.

    Food is pricey for the amount you get. Paid 20 for 3 decently sized birria tacos, which were decent.

    Taquería Jalisco is a casual Mexican restaurant in East Boston specializing in traditional…read morestreet-style tacos, tortas, tamales, and dishes inspired by the flavors of Jalisco. We walked into a small, unassuming space where the focus is squarely on freshly prepared food made with bold, authentic flavors. The dining room is modest and functional, with a counter and a handful of tables that give it the feel of a neighborhood taquería rather than a sit-down restaurant. The energy is practical and welcoming, with the open kitchen allowing us to see the tortillas being pressed and the meats being grilled fresh behind the counter. The birria tacos are the signature order and the dish that defines the menu. We ordered a few and found the tortillas crisped up on the griddle, the beef tender and well seasoned, and the rich consommé served on the side for dipping. The combination of the savory meat, the crispy tortilla, and the deep, slightly smoky broth made each bite feel layered and complete. Other standouts include the adobada tacos, which had a good char and a subtle spice that built gradually, and the lengua torta, with tender tongue layered between a soft roll and topped with fresh ingredients. The pozole was hearty and comforting, with a broth that carried the flavor of the hominy and meat without being overly heavy. The tamales, chicken flautas, and well-seasoned rice and beans rounded out the menu, each arriving hot and freshly made. The pickled onions and house salsas added extra flavor, and the horchata was a popular choice to pair with the meal, its cinnamon sweetness cutting through the richness of the dishes. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant maintained a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Despite its modest size, the kitchen moved efficiently, making it a reliable option for both dine-in and takeout. The staff checked in at the right moments and kept the pacing of the meal comfortable, ensuring that even when the small dining room filled up, the experience stayed smooth. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in the Boston area, Taquería Jalisco stands out for its consistently flavorful cooking, generous portions, and menu built around classic recipes rather than modern interpretations. It is the kind of place where the food speaks for itself, and the simplicity of the setting only adds to the sense that you are eating something made with care and tradition.

    Lip-smacking Mexican food! I got the Jalisco Birria Tacos. They were crisp and hot, with a sizable…read moreportion of flavorful meat and plenty of cheese. The consomé and the other accompaniments were all solid as well. Definitely will need to try some of their other specialties next time!

    After eating food from Angela's a couple of times now, I can confidently say that it is some of the…read morebest Mexican cuisine I've ever had. My boyfriend and I first went to Angela's about a year and a half ago for breakfast. The place was packed, but we managed to grab a couple of seats at the bar. I'd never had chilaquiles before so I was looking forward to trying it, and I'm pleased to say that it left a great first impression of the dish for me. They also have standard American fare for breakfast in addition to authentic Mexican breakfast dishes. Since I've had the breakfast, I've told myself that I should go back to try some other stuff as well and today I finally did that. I placed an order for an assortment of tacos. I tried one each of the al pastor, arabe, chorizo and chicken. I knew I was in for a treat when I opened the container. They were all delicious, but I think my favorite was the al pastor taco. The pork marinade was so flavorful and the little bits of pineapple added the perfect subtle sweetness. Angela's is a true gem not only in Eastie, but in all of the Boston area. Don't sleep on them.

I will be back.
