This is my go to restaurant whenever I feel like eating healthy food outside. Huge fan of their sauteed shrimp and salmon criolla. Drinks and dessert menu are very creatively designed. The service is quick and prices are reasonable. I have always seen this place at least half full in the evenings. Very popular among local people (including me). Highly recommend- veg tamales and empanadas for appetizers.

Great food at an affordable price! The fish tacos were my favorite, and my partner loved the birria tacos. The tamale sampler is definitely worth getting as well - fun to try a few different flavors. The staff was also exceptionally friendly and

It's always disappointing to report a mediocre experience, but this place was really a below average restaurant disguised as a really good one. It seemed to hit all the marks, good reviews, great online pics of well presented food... Chips were great, Guacamole was ok, even perhaps good. But the vegetarian quesadilla app, was kind of a joke. More like an undercooked and underseasoned empanada. The rest of the meal was equally underwhelming, as was the service. The kicker was the $4 upcharge for a 2nd bowl of tortilla chips. Very nice people and a clean inviting space, but as a restaurant, way below the 4.6 star experience expected. Reviewers in Boston need to up their standards imo.

One of the best Mexican restaurants around! The staff is always so nice and friendly. The guac and homemade sangria are delicious. And every food item we’ve ordered has been amazing. Highly recommend coming here!

Not a place to eat for vegetarians. Everything has meat or eggs. Not very happy with the service. I ordered tacos and they got me something else.Vegetarian options: Do not have vegetarian options. The Mexican rice, the sauces have meat.

Pretty delicious fish tacos! I found the crepa de cuitlacoche a little bland, though. Their habanero hot sauce is my favourite in Boston! It has a kick but is balanced and not just a one-note sauce. The ambience is charming and authentic. I like the mural on one of the walls inside.

The horchata tasted very sour and had to replace it with another drink. All four of our drinks were this way and I hate sending things back but I couldn’t ignore that the horchata may have been bad. Overall food is

Decided to give this place a try on Door Dash and ordered the Birria Tacos and the Sweet Plantains. Everything came fast and well packaged. The birria tacos were delicious and the plantains were fresh and very sweet. Would definitely want to give them a try for dine in if I'm ever in the area.

I love this restaurant so much. I only wish they had kept the cozy warm vibe inside the restaurant. It’s hard to do the normal date night there when it feels a little

Made a reservation with Google assist and table was ready for us when arrived. Service was good and the server made good recommendations. We tried 2 new things - the sweet plantain empanada and the avocado cheesecake - Interesting flavors. Chicken enchiladas and margaritas were good.
