    Tacos de pollo
    Bianca F.

    I'm so happy I finally tried this place , I'm happier it's up the street from me :) I didn't take a picture of the pupusas but oh my goodness, they were BIG and delicious, the queso was just oozing out , you had to be there , haha. The tacos de pollo I had were packed with delicious chicken and pico also the hot sauce that came with it was very spicy , just how I like it. I can not wait to go here again!

    I wish to stress that I would like to come back to this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Upon arriving to Chelsea on the commuter rail, I thought I would have time to sit down for a nice Central-American meal, but nooooooo. My wife was getting out in Revere right when I arrived in Chelsea, and she wanted to get something to eat (btw, picky eater, no way she would eat here). Coming this far I just had to get something, even if it meant eating it when I got home. I wanted something authentic and delicious. I got a couple of pupusa's to go. They weren't great cold, once we had gotten home; however a few minutes in the toaster oven and we were back in business and they were delicious. A great snack before going to bed. I would have enjoyed them better fresh, but I enjoyed them just getting the chance to try it. The only other time I had gotten pupusa was at California Burrito in Nashua N.H., I don't find them too often. Oh, so the parking is limited in the neighborhood. However, the restaurant is clean and the colors used for the paint are bright and cheery. I imagine myself here on a hot summer day enjoying a meal, and it's a cheerful change of pace in the winter months of Boston with the cold breeze bearing down these grey streets of Chelsea. The staff are bilingual and were very polite. This little neighborhood restaurant is worth paying a visit to.

    Menu as of August 2020. Packed with great stuff. Don't get mad if time passes and prices have risen slightly.

    They serve /piles/ of savory Salvadoran and Mexican food here. I bought two platos and a couple of pupusas and had a hard time carrying it a half mile to my apartment - that's how how much there was. My favorite from here is a Plato Montanero. The beef is quite tender and flavorful, better than steaks you can pay many times as much for elsewhere. But you can't go wrong with anything from here; it's all good. The people are kind-hearted as well. Easy five stars.

    This is definitely the place to go for Salvadorean food in Chelsea. I went with a group of co-workers and I ordered the Carne Asada with a Diet Coke. The steak was so tender and flavorful I was silent for the entire meal. You know the food is good if it can get me to sit quiet for a while! Customer service was great, our waitress was a real sweetheart and was constantly checking in on us. Their pupusas are liiiiiiiiiife so you can't leave without getting some of those.

    We don't frequent Chelsea very much, but I'm very glad we stumbled upon this place when we did. It's a small, local spot with everything you'd expect and more. The menu is extensive, and if the lady at the counter is there to give you advice, you're bound to find what you want. I ordered soft tacos, which come with delicious rice & beans, as well as a side of avocado and a mango smoothie, which is made simply with milk & fruit -- none of that fake syrupy nonsense you find in some other places. They have a great variety of Mexican and homemade salads -- keep in mind that some of these are HOT, but the flavors are irresistible, and the smoothies cut right through the heat if it gets overwhelming. Overall, a great spot with great deals, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. I'll definitely visit again when I'm back in town.

    Delicioso!

    SERVICE: We went on a wednesday afternoon and there weren't…read moremany groups inside so the service was quick. He let us seat ourselves and brought over salsa and chips. FOOD: The chips and salsa were a great start! We loved it so much we asked for extra, and kept some salsa to put on our food. I got the shredded beef El Potro Chimichanga. There was a lot of beef and cheese inside, and the beef had a lot of flavor! It was not crunchy outside but I didn't mind since it was yummy. My friend got the vegetarian enchiladas which had an assortment of vegetables inside including squash, zucchini, and carrots. Another friend got the nachos with chicken, which were each individually dressed! OVERALL: It is a cute restaurant and we all agreed that the food was very good! Definitely would come back.

I am an avid goer to this place and I know the staffing has not always been easy. They really did their best with what they had and the resources. This place was Packed! and well deserved. Most places on this day do first come first serve and I do think they handled that very well. It is not their fault people are impatient on one of the busiest days of the year for them. Keep being amazing, keep pushing through. I appreciate the staff and the atmosphere here. Great on non busy days too!

    We came around 6pm on a weekday and it was completely empty…read more We came here because we saw tik tok videos of how fun, busy, and vibrant this place was but I think we just came at the wrong time and wrong day. The business is sort of in a house? It was small and kind of dark inside. It was definitely an interesting experience,,, The appetizer was reallyyy good, I forgot the name though... The mole however, was not very good. The mole was liquidy and the chicken was dry. Overall, I think this place is more for fun busy nights where you just drink and apps. I'd like to come again when its busier and we aren't the only customers.

    Tulum is an elevated Mexican restaurant an extensive food and drink menu (especially tequila) too…read more It's in kind of a weird neighborhood of Somerville that's hard to get to without a car but lots of parking. We started off with two drinks- a frozen mangonada and this passion fruit drink. They were both solid but I liked the mangonada better because the passion fruit cocktail had too much pulp in it! For food, we started off with chips and guac. This guac was some of the best I've had. It was super fresh and you could tell exactly what ingredients they used. We also their pork ribs! The ribs fell off the bone and I loved the warm sauce except it was a tiny bit dry. The sauce was reminiscent of an umami bbq sauce. We decided to try their zucchini dish, as recommended by the manager! I don't love zucchini usually but I liked it. It was roasted with cheese, sauces, and some shrimp. Very creative, Lastly we got the tuna ceviche of the day. I didn't really like this because it was really heavy on the dill. I think it would've been good without it. However the presentation was gorgeous and it came with plantains. Overall the vibes are superb here for a date, girls night, or whatever!!

The steak was cooked perfectly and it came with everything I was craving. Plus the refried beans, creama, eggs, plantains, chicharron, and warm tortilla--yum! The pupusa was different, as it's made with a different cheese here which the waitress did warn us. Because of this, it wasn't our favorite but still good. Overall this spot is popular in East Boston, I would definitely check it out! Also if you tell them it's your birthday they will sing to you and you get to wear the special hat :)

We went there for drinks on…read more6/14/2026 and one very nice lady was going to serve us, then another lady told her not to serve us in Spanish unless we buy some of their food. I live locally, we have been buying their food and supporting them for years, since before the pandemic. Last night we had other food from somewhere else around the corner and just wanted to get two regular / virgin pina coladas to go. But because this particular woman doesn't like black people, she did not want to serve us the drinks. Not only was her customer service terrible, she was also trying to extort / milk us for more money. whole time the store was closing in like 30 minutes, and it would've been smart to allow your business to earn more money even if it's small, on drinks while you get ready to shut the grill down. Instead, they wanted us to order something, they would have to rush to make it, and then rush us to eat it, and then kick us out because it was closing soon. Soooooo disappointing. Actually Terrible service.

    Ordered the beef torta this evening and immediately went on to Yelp and got FOMO that I didn't…read moreorder the tacos which all look amazing. I really need to remember to look online before choosing my order in the future (or so I thought). While the tacos still look incredible (especially the birria ones), the torta was surprisingly great as well. The sandwich is jam packed with ingredients and really well balanced. The beef was juicy and tender, and the veggies added a really nice balance of spice (jalapenos), freshness (onions, lettuce, and tomatoes), and richness (cheese and avocadoes). The refried beans were a pleasant surprise as well, adding really good moisture and flavor to the overall bite. And including avocado on the torta for no extra cost really is what put this above and beyond to a 5/5 - the avocado was ripe and had just the right amount of it to add that rich and fatty element without being too slippery and making it hard to eat. The fries, on the other hand, were a bit soggy and thick for my liking. I had seen another photo on Yelp where they looked a lot crispier and were shaped differently, so not sure if I just got unlucky, but the sandwich more than made up for the fries in this case. I really can't say enough positive things about the torta. And even though the torta was fantastic and I gave it a 5/5, I definitely want to come back for those tacos. Three tacos plus rice for $18 is a pretty great deal, and the tacos really look incredible. My partner ordered a tongue, al pastor, and fish taco and while I didn't try them, they looked and smelled incredible. We will definitely be back!

    Delicious carne asada and al pastor tacos. Service was very good, I will definitely be back again.read more
