Love this place to get my adobo fix, since it's rare to find Filipino food in the Boston area!…read more The sandwiches are made from scratch with love and high quality ingredients by the owner. I've had the tortang talong (seasonal) and fried chicken adobo and both were memorable and packed with flavor. The fried chicken is double fried and then dipped in adobo (soy, vinegar sauce) and has a really nice crunch before you get to the juicy chicken, topped with pickled papaya slaw for added zip. Maple potato bread is nice and fluffy and holds up to the chicken. Tamarind tots are freshly fried and coated in tasty seasoning. My partner is Filipino and he and the owner usually chat a bit about Filipino food when we visit. Owner is a genuinely nice and personable guy who wants to bring more Filipino flavors to this area. Space is in the Juliet Social club so it's a nice hang, and you can go next door to Juliet Cafe/Restaurant to grab a nice coffee or tea to have with your meal. Operation is a regular pop up in this space so be sure to check hours to make sure they are open. Will definitely be back!

Ordered the longganisa & adobo fried chicken sandwhich. INSANE! The longganisa sandwhich is classic. The pandesal bun on it was nuts. Loved the acidity of the adobo sandwhich. Chicken was super tender and well balanced. Both very light! Didn't feel terrible after eating them LOL. & the space! What a beautiful, open-concept, community spot. Pumped to come back and see the menu and team grow! Bravo, Jeff & Jon!

Wow! I love Olivieria's Steakhouse, but it's too far away from my house. It's a long drive from…read moreCanton to Somerville. But the food is great.

We came here for my dad's birthday and just as a caveat, I'm not really into Brazilian…read moresteakhouses/AYCE in general. Just as an FYI, the bottled waters on the table are not free. There are options for AYCE as well as by weight, and if you do by weight you have to weigh everything you get at the side buffet and only get meat from the counter, so we opted for AYCE because that seemed cumbersome. The service here was friendly and attentive and as long as your token is green, the meat literally comes nonstop! I really liked their sides and salads, especially the plantains and fresh fruits. The meats were perfectly done and though they didn't really ask, all my pieces were medium/medium rare which is how I like it. The cut that was infused with garlic was really good, as were the sirloin and the chicken hearts and spicy pork sausages. Some pieces were very salty, but I'm pretty sensitive to salt. The grilled pineapple was luscious. If we didn't already have cake waiting for us at home, I would have definitely indulged in some tres leches or lime cake. They ended the meal with cooked cheese dipped in honey or guava sauce which was interesting. The fresh fruit at the salad bar was really refreshing. I probably wouldn't come back because it's just way too much meat/food for me and not my usual favorite (also rather pricey for dinner/weekends). However, my family had a great meal here and I think it's definitely a step up from fogo de chao in terms of quality and service. If you're into Brazilian steakhouses (or steak in general) I would highly recommend this place.

Food here never fails. I love greeting the chilaquiles with beef and 2 extra eggs to I share with…read moresomeone. The stake is juicy with great seasoning and the chilaquiles are not spacey and a little crunchy. The waffles are also great, I always get them with everything. The service is good and they always offer a free coffee refill. I like going early because it is not busy. They have good ambiance, the space is clean and tidy. Just another great Latino restaurant with great food!

Please do yourself a favor and come try their cheese bread, beef empanadas, and churros! For dine in, it's a little restaurant/bakery so they have about 6-7 tables?

The food here for breakfast was just okay - but it could've been because we weren't sure what to…read moreorder. We got the 53 and 54 and both were decent, but nothing to write home about. The steak was seasoned well but pretty tough to chew. Main reason why it's 3 stars instead of 4 though is because we were given sticky cutlery - the knives they gave us had this clear goo on it, like glue or melted sticker residue. So we had to use their plastic cutlery instead. We came here because it was one of the few places that was open at 7am after our red-eye flight in, so the early hours was nice! They also have a couple of tables inside, so we sat there to eat. All in all, if you need a quick early bite, they've got what you need, but don't expect too much in quality. I'm tempted to try the chicharron next time though, because it looked quite tasty in the hot bar, just wasn't sure if pork belly is 7am food...

Celeste has been on my to-go list for forever and I'm so glad I finally visited! We made a…read morereservation for Friday evening and it was pretty busy, as every table was claimed. It's a small space with some street parking out front and even though it's small, it doesn't feel too cramped. The two of us ordered: - Shrimp and Mango Ceviche - Seared Scallops with Squid Ink Fettucine - Peruvian Style Shrimp Scampi with Rice - Peruvian Style Tuna Sashimi My favorites were definitely the squid ink fettucine with aji cream sauce and the shrimp and mango ceviche. After such flavorful small plates, the shrimp scampi was a bit forgettable. We also got drinks and the dulce de leche custard, which came with a little raspberry and blackberry. Service was efficient and friendly, and the food came out relatively quickly. Celeste is on the pricier side, but it's worth it for such a delicious and unique meal.

The service was great and the staff was really attentive. The food was pretty good as well - my favorite thing was the mix seafood ceviche. The seafood was really fresh and the flavors wee well balanced. Some of the foods were a little too rich for me - I was only able to take one or two bites of it before I started feeling really full. Overall, I would come back one day!

We ordered a whole lechon (perfectly crispy skin and juicy meat!), pancit bihon, lumpia, garlic rice, and pork BBQ skewers -- everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Guests couldn't stop going back for seconds (and thirds). It's not easy finding great Filipino food in Boston, but Kuya's Cooking exceeded all our hopes. The whole process was smooth, the portions were generous, and the food brought so much joy to the celebration. Can't wait to order again for our next event!

Chicharron was great. - Arepa: looks like a tortilla, so not the typical thick arepas I'm used to. So felt like I paid $8 just for a tortilla and small block of cheese - Tostones con guacamole: I prefer my tostones to be crispier, but they had great taste. - Cazuela de Mariscos: Great flavor. I put it on top of rice and enjoyed it with the other food, otherwise too heavy/dense on it's own. I didn't enjoy the mussels (I love mussels). They were too gritty.
