With such a kind staff (5 star) and awesome decor (5 star) I really wanted to love the food here but just couldn’t. I have been aware of Angela’s because of their other location in East Boston and have always wanted to try it so came to the Orient Heights location on a whim when we were in the area. The staff is really great and warm and welcoming, and the traditional Mexican decor makes it feel homey but the food is reaaaalllly lacking unfortunately. It’s really is not authentic when you compare to food in Mexico which I’ve had the pleasure to have several times. It always isn’t specifically “Puebla” food, it’s pretty run of the mill Mexican dishes from any state of Mexico. The mole poblano is about the most poblano thing on the menu.When we came in and saw it was empty save for 4 tables of all white families eating (I’m white too so no hate) my first thought “hm…..no Mexicans eating here, will the food be good?” My El Salvadoran husband asked himself the same thing….anyways we were right…the food is VERREEY bland Americanized Mexican food.We got the guacamole, it was SO overly lemony and lacking salt, and for some reason every other table in the place had salt and pepper on the table except ours and we were to ashamed to ask for one hahaha so that is on us….the chips are clearly fried in house but they were way over cooked and filled with oil and had that slightly burnt taste. The salsas they give with the chips and guacamole really appear to be from a jar but I might be wrong but they are def not Mexican salsas de molcajete.I got enchiladas Rojas and my husband enchiladas de mole and again everything was so bland, especially the mole which was hugely disappointing as that is supposed to be a hugely flavorful dish from Puebla. The chicken filling was the most bland, flavorless, pulled shredded chicken…we were so surprised.Anyways being 100% honest we ate it all because it was overall fine, we were starving, it just tasted like nothing…My recommendations for more authentic flavorful Mexican food in MA:-Tenoch (multiple locations-Somerville, Medford, Melrose, etc)-Eloti (multi locations in Revere),-La Oaxaqueña in Everett and Revere-and if you ever find yourself in Western MA, La Veracruzana.

I have been a regular customer at Angela’s Cafe Orient Heights (particularly during breakfast) for the past several years! Every time I have been a customer at Angela’s, I have had an excellent experience! The wait staff is phenomenal, the food is delicious (I recommend the chilaquiles), and the atmosphere is great! I would definitely recommend Angela’s Cafe to anyone looking for an amazing bite to eat for breakfast in East Boston! One piece of advice that I must share is to make sure to come early and prepare to wait to be seated, especially during weekends, holidays, etc. All of the locals (myself included) know how amazing the food is here, and the restaurant is on the smaller side, so there is frequently a line out the door for breakfast! It’s totally worth the wait though!

Very authentic food from Puebla, Mexico. Everything tastes amazing. A bonus is that you can find street parking at this location.

I was there years ago , and was ok the music down and good to talk , today I went there and oh my god , the music to laugh, I want to running out , if I want to hear a laugh music , I go to the bar , or discotheque, it is not a bar , supposedly, there is nothing better to eat than soft music , to be able to talk and also savor the food , and eat w pleasure , too much scandal and even more if someone has a birthday, that seems like a bar instead a cafe.Parking: Ok

Carlos, our server was amazing and attentive. The food was delicious! The best Guac and home fries I've had in Boston. The guac tasted and looked freshly made. The home fries are not the dry type, they're boiled, sautéed with onions and green pepper. The chorizo was freshly grilled. They offer the option of ground chorizo or grilled chorizo sausages. Will definitely be returning and sharing this location with more people. ?
