They know me whenever I call to order food, and every time I walk in, they greet me with a smile, give me a fist bump, and say things like, "What's up, Philip?" or "What's up, buddy?" That kind of service really makes you feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer. This place is honestly amazing, and the recognition it has received speaks for itself. It was named one of Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in the U.S. and was also named Massachusetts' best hole-in-the-wall restaurant. It is widely celebrated for its authentic, flavorful, and incredibly affordable Mexican food, and after eating here myself, I completely understand why. In my opinion, this is easily one of the best restaurants around. The food is consistently delicious, the staff are incredible, the prices are great, and the overall experience is excellent every time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. If you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out!

Keep an eye out for…read morethe colorful front door because that's your first clue you're about to find something special. This is the kind of authentic Mexican spot where you can tell everything is made fresh, in-house, and with a whole lot of TLC. Most of the staff spoke primarily Spanish, but ordering was still a breeze, and the ladies working were incredibly kind and welcoming. The space itself is tiny, just a few bar seats against the wall and a handful of small tables, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go kind of place. The burrito was hearty and packed with fillings. Nothing flashy, just a really solid, satisfying burrito that hit the spot. But the real MVP? The cheese and jalapeño pupusa. Holy melted goodness. It was cheesy, perfectly grilled on the outside, had just the right kick from the jalapeños, and had us wondering why we didn't order five more. If loving that pupusa is wrong, I don't want to be right!! The steak quesadilla was another winner... tender steak in every bite with plenty of cheese, and the mild green salsa absolutely stole the show. One bite and I was on a one-way trip to Flavor Town. Give me that stuff by the bottle! This place proves you don't need a fancy dining room to serve incredible food. Authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and dishes made with care. 10/10! I'll absolutely be back, and next time I'm ordering extra pupusas (and maybe just them lol)!

The ingredients are good and fresh, but they went too heavy on the salt. They need to adjust their spice mixture to have much less salt, and more of the seasonings we expect and enjoy: (cumin, chili powder, garlic, cilantro, etc.). Please update your seasoning! It's just too salty as is.

Chivo is located right on Mass Ave, in between Harvard and Porter Square. They have a great assortment of options. My two friends each got bowls, which you can customize with your choice of protein, toppings, and sauce (including different levels of spicy for the sauces). I ordered a tamale and a pupusa, both of which were large and delicious! We shared an order of the plantains, which came with a crema. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. They have an interior as well as exterior seating area. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They also have a wide variety of beverages and desserts--we tried the flan.

It was super crowded even though it was cold weekday night, and we ordered beef tongue burrito and mushroom quesadillas that night and they were delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Steak burrito: I think I prefer beef tongue one better, I could taste some rubbery texture on the meat with steak one. Birria tacos: good flavor, I think I wanna try fish next time. Vegetable quesadillas: The cheese in this thing is awesome. Churros: Nicely fried, good touch on stuffed condensed milk! Tres Leches: Perfectly moist tres leches, we're getting that again. Platanos Fritos: Plantains were good, but I think I prefer crunchier bites. Cheese / Zucchini / Chicken pupusas: you must get cheese, other ones were okay.

We were recommended by a friend to try this place since their food is apparently pretty good in Waltham, so we gave it a try. I was really looking forward to trying, but there were a lot of bad impressions accumulated towards the end of our visit. 1. When we arrived, there were only 2 wait staff, so it took about 5 minutes for them to seat us. We just thought maybe it's just a small run business, so nothing too big of a deal. 2. When we decided what to get, no one checked in with us and even with us trying to get their attention, it took about 10 minutes for us to place our order. Maybe it's just that they don't have enough staff today, but there also weren't that many customers.. 3. The food took 20 minutes to come for our table of 2, so by now we've been in here for over half an hour! Food is again good. The only noticeable thing is the black burnt marks on the birria, which had a sour bitter taste to it. 4. When we paid, we handed the credit card, which they processed on their tablet. As we waited to then select the tips and sign the tablet, they already MANUALLY SELECTED 25% TIPS WITHOUT TELLING US! I totally get it if their service was top notch to the point where they deserve a fourth of our dinner cost, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE!! If we didn't ask for the receipt, we wouldn't even know that they frauded us! If you have enough money for them to select the tips for you, as you gamble on their service quality, then sure give it a try. But I'm not coming back for a business that tries to steal my money via tips!
