“La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!”

“love this place best croissant ever feel like I m in 🇫🇷”

“Such a gem in the neighborhood! Whenever I’m in Arlington I make sure to come to Quebrada. They have great coffee in generous sizes, excellent breakfast options (ham and cheese croissants, breakfast sandwiches), and yummy baked goods. They had the cutest sugar-decorated shortbread cookies this week! The space itself is pretty small, not a lot of seating, but some nice window spots if you can get them. The staff are so friendly and helpful!”

“The cookies are always fresh and tasty and made of the best ingredients. We live in Boxborough, MA and drive all the way there. Got lucky and my day off they were open. Thanks for making it always worth it.☺️😋The Alda Family”

“Love this cozy spot! The location is ideal either to sit in, outside, or take your goodies for a walk down to the pond. They have a large variety of meals as well as breakfast and bakery items. I love that they sell day old baked goods when they have them as well. They also have a huge variety of milk types to add to your coffee, and hot sauces for food at the 'coffee/creamer station'. They have events here too!”

“We knew we wanted Magic Bites to cater our family event and we were so pleased that we did! Atilla and Elif were helpful and patient planning the menu and everything was top notch delicious. They knew we had some allergies in the family and they made an extra effort to create large labels with all ingredients. I highly recommend them!!”

“We enjoyed our Thai Pancakes, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice. The staff was so sweet with my son too. He's 2 years old and still learning to eat outside quietly. He approves of the Thai Pancakes...he tried to stuff a whole one in his mouth. Going back to try their fried rice...my Dad made Thai Fried Rice for us growing up. So, I am excited to try theirs.

Also, I am gluten free and dairy free. So, all the dishes we've tried meet those requirements.”

“Delicious sushi, always fresh. Healthy pours, good wine selection. Their non sushi is great too, we like the chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce. Wonderful having them in a neighborhood that doesn’t have many options nearby. They make a mean mai tai.”

“The delivery is always speedy and the steak tips NEVER disappoint. So good🤤🤤🤤”

“We love good food, with creative, delicious touches, but we also love a casual pub atmosphere. Menotomy Grill & Tavern is big and rustic, with interesting decor. And on Thursday nights there is live music!”

The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were HUGE. I am picky about my pad thai and was favorably impressed by Thai Moon's. Hope my family and I can go here once restaurants open their doors again.”

“Love Arlington Cafe, got delivery , ordered through Amazon Grub Hub, Great pizza with out cheese, garlic bread, Baklava.”

“Went here for the first time earlier this week and I've gone back twice since. A very cute coffee shop & their rosemary scone with strawberry jam is life changing”

“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.”

“I just want to thank the wonderful manager who helped me at 6:30 AM last Saturday morning. I had placed an online order the night before, and the online app gave me a confirmation that the order would be ready for pickup the next day. When I showed up in the morning, I was surprised that the order was not prepared, and apparently not even received. When I expressed my disappointment, the manager and her team of two other co-workers quickly assembled a large order (box of joe, dozen donuts, 6 breakfast wraps), giving me the benefit of the doubt that the failure in communication lay with the Dunkin' app which "confirmed" my order. I was very thankful in the moment, and able to arrive to my own place of work on time due to their expeditious effort. It was only later in the morning that I checked my EMAIL and saw that the Dunkin' app had sent a message that the order was not processed since the CC I used had expired. Upon realizing this, I immediately returned to the Dunkin' location at the end of my shift. Of course, since this was 12h later (6:30p.m.), a different crew of young men were staffing the counter. After explaining the morning's situation, I paid the whole balance of my order using a different CC. I asked them to relay my thanks to the morning crew when they had a chance.”

“Best coffee in the whole wide world the services is always great”

“We love this place! Always fresh, absolutely delicious. The people working here are amazing - efficient, knowledgeable, super friendly on the phone and in person. What more could you ask for?”

“Chipotle chicken Melt on a wrap”

“This is clearly the best Indian food in the greater Boston area by a long mile. All the dishes have perfect consistency, are very tasty and aromatic, have fresh ingredients, and have a special savory quality above other Indian restaurants. Also, the chefs will make the food based on your preference of spiciness (and I've actually ordered vindaloo, which is supposed to be spicy, in other local restaurants that was served mild!) no matter what the dish. The selection is larger and more interesting that at any other local restaurant, with a good selection of special dishes, breads, and dosas in addition to all the traditional dishes. There is an amazingly good selection of several draft and bottled beers (for example, Night Shift and Jacks Abby offerings on tap, and Dogfish Head and others in bottles), which is EXTREMELY rare for Indian restaurants, which usually serve the worst quality beers. Finally, the location (Arlington Center, with plenty of on street parking) and inside decor are great, with a modern and stylish interior with comfortable seating. The wait staff is always friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. So, if you want to have the best experience in Indian dining (even if the dishes are a dollar or two more expensive), make Punjab your destination. I've been to dozens of other local Indian restaurants over the past 37 years and this is by far the best one!”

“Excellent Steak Frites, Faroe Island Salmon, Wild Boar Bolognese, an Ultimate Burger, and Truffle Fries. Check out their Valentine's Day Menu.”

“Noon on a Saturday we were able to get parking and got in and seated right away. This place is the perfect size. We had two omelettes and I had the 2222. Everything was really good, and those pancakes were amazing. Star of the place and I'd come back a dozen times just for those. All in all 5/5 glad we stopped by and we'll be back again!”

“Sample the best Coffe☕☕☕Very Good place the have A super Good cup of coffe”

“Great and fast service and food. Seating area is just a few 2 person tables and a short counter with stools (enough for 3 people). A bit loud and warm during the morning rush.”

“I picked up a food delivery job just before the covid lockdown (great timing since I worked in retail..), and they have to be doing something right as I prob get more orders from them than almost any other place. And they've always got the pick-up/delivery orders running on time and on point! Not a single customer complaint (and their customers tip drivers accordingly, considering were gassing up our cars to deliver to people in the middle of a worldwide viral pandemic). Love doing pickups here! Great staff, clearly awesome menu! While you can't currently dine in, please order take out/delivery/buy gift certificates to help them get thru this!”

“The food is excellent, everything is made in house as far as I can tell. The ban chan is always unique and creative. Obviously their Bibimbap is to die for, but their Korean Grill items keep me coming back. The pork belly is divine!! The owners/chefs are probably the sweetest people I have ever met and treat us like family. What a treat to eat!!”

“Wonderful meal in a spotless restaurant. Separations between tables was very nice!”
