I paid $20 for a steak burrito because Chipotle we're not a steak for some stupid reason... Way way way too overpriced. The quality wasn't anything special.

Service was ok, so was the food. Shredded beef was dry and I regret not asking ahead of time if the chilaquiles was in red sauce. It was not. It was in green sauce

Overpriced and not tasty at all! I ordered al pastor burrito and it came with more pineapple than meat. My wife ordered a steak burritos and it was 3$ extra for it and it also came with more rice and beans than meat! If you will charge extra for steak at least add a proportional amount!

Great food and service. I like that they're open late in case you're up late and hungry. Super fast too

Put in an order for three different items with three different meats. Two were unmarked burritos so I couldn't tell what was in them without cutting each open. They were all made with shredded chicken instead and no hot sauce was added when requested. I tried calling but was put immediately on hold without talking to anyone, and eventually had to hang up because they weren't coming back. No service and wrong food, not to mention they keep changing their menu between having ground beef and refried beans and bot having them all together. Dunno what happened to this place. It used to hit every time, but now it's just gone downhill.

Food was great, quesadillas with ground beef in particular were good. The only thing I didn’t like is that it was cold in the restaurant, and also we had to wait for a while for them to let us in the restaurant, even though they were technically open.

I stopped into Beantown Taqueria for a quick lunch while visiting MIT with my family. They advertised a mexican buffet on a chalk board outside the front that we wanted to take advantage of, as well as online Groupon deal. However, when I tried to talk with the lady behind the register, she did not speak ANY English whatsoever, aside from the words "yes" and "no". I asked the same question about the above-mentioned deal about 4 times, to which she replied yes twice and no twice, apparently just trying to get to an answer I would be happy with. I finally asked if she understood a word I was saying, to which she just shrugged. I think she expected me to point to the printed-out menu and grunt in order to make my order. The cook 10 feet behind her made no effort to intervene. I have no idea if he spoke no English or simply could not be bothered.To be clear have no problem with having English as a second language, but I would expect at least some effort to try and communicate in the prevailing language of the land. After a few minutes I simply gave up, as I could not ascertain whether the buffet deal was even going on and anticipated the frustration ahead when I tried to figure out the Groupon deal.I think my words above may not adequately communicate the situation and the frustration I felt. The bottom line is that though the place looked fairly clean and the food that was being prepared smelled good, I will never know how it tasted due to my ability to only speak English and a lack of any effort to try to get through that language barrier. There are many other places to eat near the Beantown Taqueria, I would suggest you try one of those and avoid this restaurant.
