    Carne Asada Taco Plate
    Diana L.

    Friend recommended this place so I don't know if today was an off day - especially given the favorable reviews from other yelpers. I generally like to get carne asada meals to get a feel for a Mexican place. If you cannot master this classic, then I tend to be skeptical re the rest. Overall, very bland carne asada tacos. Meat itself had little flavor and the texture wasn't great (felt like I was eating day old carne asada - although my mom's day old carne asada is still bomb). The green salsa that accompanied it was pretty bland. It was a combo order with beans and rice. The beans were fine. Not bad, not great. The rice was very dry. I'm willing to try another item next time I'm in the area given the net positive reviews, but I was not impressed.

    The best Mexican food South of Boston ! As one who grew up out West near the Mexican border, I miss quality authentic Mexican food. This restaurant meets that need. The main courses are made to order. My son likes a couple of changes, and they freely take requests. No sauces for a bottle, theirs are made in house ! If you enjoy natural soda with real sugar rather than corn syrup, this restaurant carries Mexican Coke and Mexican Jarritos Natural Flavor sodas. For dessert, there is a wonderful flan. Get it fast. It may sell out as the day progresses. Parking is on the street; however, the food is well worth one's effort to find a space. If you are ever in the area of the Arboretum or Faulkner Hospital, you should stop by. We will be returning !

    Side of Queso. Basically the canned nacho cheese sauce you get at the movie theater.

    Honesty, this is the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten and I've eaten at Casa Bonita in Denver, CO which is known for its terrible food. I ordered the chicken enchiladas. They consisted of soggy corn tortillas wrapped around cubes of plain chicken breast and then topped with what tasted like canned sauce and some bagged shredded cheddar cheese. There was literally nothing besides cubed chicken in my enchilada. The beans were watery and bland and the rice looked like plain white rice. We also ordered chips with guacamole and queso. The queso was nacho cheese sauce from a can and the guacamole was also clearly from a package. The chips themselves were the best part of the meal. My husband ordered a chicken burrito which was essentially all the same stuff I had but wrapped in a flour tortilla. It was all bland. I don't know how this place got 4 stars on yelp. If you want some Mexican Coca Cola or Jarrito's sodas and chips, it's a great spot. Otherwise, I would rather eat Taco Bell.

    Carnitas and carne asada tacos. Phenomenal.

    Chorizo, Mama's recipe beef, Carnitas and carne asada tacos. Phenomenal. Carnitas are uniquely their own. Carne asada was the surprise. Peppery and, most importantly, not dry crumble tough steak. Great great chorizo. Mama's recipe beef was made with real chunks not crumble beef. Will come back. And like $2.75 a taco for the most part

    12/15/19 Update:…read more I've been here more times than I can count. Have shared photos with my family in LA, who drool when they see the food (and are "so happy" for me because I've found a single solitary gem of Mexican food in Boston). The elotes are indeed BOMB. Perfectly grilled corn that is, again, very reasonably priced. (Keep your $14 "tapas", Colin - we ain't got time for 'em.) The carnitas plate was heavenly. Love their thick fresh corn tortillas that come with the taco plates. The chicken, carne asada, and carnitas burritos are everything I go to be dreaming about after I cry myself to sleep after eating at Anna's or any other "Mexican food" place with Chad & Co. in Boston. I've read some of the other reviews on here since I started going...and I think some people/customers/reviewers just don't "get" or appreciate Mexican food, not in its true form. My must try items: Carnitas taco plate. Shrimp quesadilla. Carne asada burrito (extra cheese is my pref). Keep doing great things, Chilacates! You're the hero Boston needs, even if we don't deserve you.

    Usually really solid place for a quick bite. I would definitely recommend ordering ahead; call…read moreahead on your phone instead of using other services to save money on fees!

    Coming from California, I wasn't sure what to expect from a local taco spot in Boston, but…read moreChilacates pleasantly surprised me. We visited the location near Samuel Adams Brewery, and the moment you step inside, you're practically face-to-face with the cashier. The place is tiny, with just a few barstools along the wall, but it doesn't seem like a spot where people linger. It has the feel of a true neighborhood taco shop. Locals stop in for a quick bite or grab their food to go, and workers come in, order, and are back out the door in no time. I ordered a carne asada taco and a veggie taco. The carne asada was flavorful, but the veggie taco completely exceeded my expectations. Instead of the usual peppers and onions, it was loaded with fresh corn, eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, and a mix of peppers that added great flavor and texture. It was colorful, fresh, and filling without feeling heavy. The real standout, though, was their homemade habanero salsa. It packed incredible flavor with a serious kick. I could still feel the heat lingering on my tongue long after I finished eating. I loved every second of it.

The table was a bit tight, but we made it work. Our server was kind. We started with chorizo and cheese.

The potatoes, carrots and mushrooms were bomb! They were each so good. I'd order all 3 again. The chicken was also really good. The potatoes tapas is the same as the potatoes that come with the chicken, so no need to order both, unless you love potatoes. that being said, the potatoes were so good that we couldn't stop eating them. We'll definitely come back since this is in the neighborhood. I recommend giving it a try.

Fries could've been a little crispier and tomatoes spread out or on the side so the fries don't get soggier.

The rice Spanish rice they provide is flavorful along with the black beans.

I also don't like having to cut up my own chicken, but that's a preference. ((I asked for the sour cream and pico on the side so they wouldn't be hot)
