    To this day, some of the best burritos I've ever had. An awesome spot for takeout, and while it can be on the pricier side, it's absolutely worth it for the quality and convenience.

    Always had takeout! I like their horchata and burritos. The staff packed our food to the brim and they were super excited to make the food!

    Visiting from NH needed something not to far from the Boston lights and found this it had great reviews Unfortunately I didn't bring my phone in with me. So no photos The inside was ok for a quick eat and go nothing you would want to sit in and dine in. Never really had genuine Mexican food or at least ordered it off a menu so some of the items I weren't sure what they were by name on menu anyway The food was good nothing to rave about The price for 2 was about 34 Would eat again if need to

    Food was delicious, and the place is cute, but it's just a bit pricey for me to return. $30 for a burrito and enchilada.

    We loved our meal here and think about it all the time. My carne asada tostadas were giant- definitely did not need two. The music is good and the decor inside is entertaining. Left here full and happy

    Updating my review. I keep coming here and keep being pretty happy with their food. Most people I introduce to this place love it. Much respect. This place hit its stride long ago and keeps performing.

    Authentic Mexican food with very reasonable prices. Order at the counter. I ordered the chicken tinga tacos and a fish taco. All were a bit different than I'm used to (something about the sauce) but were very good. Added a side of chips and salsa, which was quite large for one but was also tasty. Overall, good experience. Small space offering limited countertop seating with maybe half a dozen stools. Takeout is a good option with a park with benches right across the street. Friendly service
