    Birria Tacos - 3 Per Order
    E W.

    I got 3 birria tacos as they were highly recommended. The ordering process was smooth and overall atmosphere was cozy. Lots of college kids just grabbing a bite to eat with their friends or middle aged passerby's. The food itself was amazing, the tacos were extremely filling because of the packed ingredients. The broth on the side was flavorful (not oily as I often see in bad birria plates) and the amount of limes were satisfactory. Overall, a really chill experience with minimal concerns.

    steak tacos and al pastor pork tacos
    Deric K.

    I recently moved here from LA and was craving some street tacos and wanted to try this place because it looked promising. In terms of food, we ordered the 4 al pastor (pork), 4 steak tacos and 1 elote. Although the food smelled great and the presentation was great, the al pastor lacked taste and was on the salty side. For the steak tacos, they were extremely bland and dry. For the elote it was the best for all the things we ordered; although they weren't using sweet corn. In terms of service, it was absolutely unacceptable. When I asked for a cup of water, I was told they only offered bottle water so I ended up buying a Pineapple Jarrito. Later when more people came into the restaurant, I noticed they were served cups of water. Wouldn't recommend to this place if you are craving tacos because you will be disappointed

    Juicy, flavorful, and very filling. Small store front but big and bold flavor profiles. Throughly enjoyed it, no notes.

    Great environment! Great service! DELICIOUS FOOD! Best birria tacos in all of Boston.

    Order your meal at the counter

    This is a quintessential "cheap eat". You order at the counter and pick up at the counter. There are some unusual drink choices in the refrigerator, and when was the last time you drank Coca Cola from a bottle? There are simple but comfortable chairs and tables with not too loud Spanish background music. The tall windows look out to the Commonwealth avenue carriage road, and Frida Kahlo looks down at you while you eat. The friendly chef gave us a sample of chicken to taste; he cleaned the tables and arranged the chairs while we decided what to order. We each chose a Dominican bowl with extra vegetables, and it was filling and more than enough for us. The fried plantains were a little bit oily. The flavors are unusual. A steady stream of customers arrived to pick up orders, and some ate in. Good inexpensive eat out establishments are becoming more difficult to find, and this place fits the bill. Next time, we will try the burritos and tacos.

We ordered drinks and food, and the drinks came out quickly. However, we ended up waiting over an hour for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all (we were one of two other groups). To make things more frustrating, the tables who arrived after us were already being served. About 30 minutes after ordering food, our waiter came by and asked if we wanted anything else, and we said no, we were just waiting on our food. He said okay, but then didn't check on us again for another 30 minutes. When we finally asked about the delay, he responded, "that's why I asked you before," which felt dismissive and confusing, considering he was the one who forgot to put the order in. By the time the food arrived, it was actually really good, but the experience had already been overshadowed by the long wait and lack of communication. Really wanted to love this place. I would give them a second chance.

They have lots of good beverage options- my bf Francisco P. & I had horchatas and our dinner companion had a papaya shake. On request, they can prepare the shake with water instead of milk. You can see the female chef in the kitchen preparing the food lovingly by hand. I tried the bean and cheese pupusas, which were very good. Our companion also tried the chicken pupusas, which she said were also very good. We thought they tasted freshly made, to order. I love that the pupusas had the bits of crunchy cheese that form when some cheese leaks out the side. I was also glad to have the red sauce and pickled cabbage for putting on top. Maybe next time I'd order more of that because I love the pickled cabbage, or curtido. My bf had a Salvadoran combo plate- that had a pupusa, a Salvadoran tamale, and a Salvadoran enchilada (which closely resembles a Mexican tostada). I had a taste of the tamale, which had chicken, & which I thought was really flavorful, and different in consistency than a Mexican tamale- softer.

    Thank you, Muqueca, for warming me up…read more Fish with Shrimp Moqueca: Made in the Capixaba recipe, this version replaced red palm oil and coconut milkthem with tomatoes--which happened to be my favorite. The broth was warm, flavorful, and refreshing. The initial notes are the sweetness of onions and bell peppers, followed by the delicate aroma of cilantro, leaving a clean taste impression. The whitefish fillets are tender and flavorful, yet still retain a subtle chewiness. The Pirão sauce, made with the fish broth and tapioca starch, was rich and thick, enhancing both the saltiness and umami, even reminiscent of Cantonese style abalone sauce. The two flavors were distinct yet complementary, a true delight with rice--though fresh, higher-quality Thai jasmine rice would be better. The earthenware pot, bearing the marks of time, kept the food warm; the portion was also very generous, perfect for sharing. I ended up taking some home for a second meal. Flan: Although I was quite full, the deliciousness of the moqueca piqued my interest in trying dessert. The pudding had a smooth and delicate texture, unlike the often sticky flaky texture of supermarket flans. The egg flavor wasn't strong, while the caramel syrup was rich and smooth, with an irresistible initial bitterness followed by a delightful sweetness. Plus, the syrup was generous, making it wonderful to coat every slice of cake in it. No wonder it's their signature dessert. Hot Sauce: The homemade hot sauce was highly recommended by my server. It didn't look very spicy, but it was far beyond my tolerance. However, I must admit it was incredibly delicious, with a refreshing citrus flavor and a smooth, emulsified texture alongside the spiciness, creating a very rich flavor profile. Being unable to handle spice is a real shame in its presence. The server's movements were elegant, the service attentive, the pace comfortable, and he satisfied some of my curiosity as a cuisine lover.
