I ordered all vegetarian items – Burrito Verde, Veggie Bowl, and Tres Leches – and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious taste of each dish. The food was flavorful, and the portions were generous. The service was attentive, and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean, including the restroom, which was well-maintained. The ambiance had an authentic Mexican vibe, making the dining experience enjoyable. Prices were reasonable – not too cheap but not overly expensive either. Plus, the convenience of free parking was a bonus. Overall, a great spot for tasty vegetarian Mexican food!

This is one of the only places in the Boston area that serves white cheese dip! I know, white cheese dip is not a culinary marvel or even anything authentic but man I love it and I've been missing it since moving here from the south. The food was solid and reasonably priced. Also, you get chips and salsa when you sit down - big plus on my book. The menu has draft beer listed, but it wasn't available when I visited.

Overall it was really fun vibe here with great food and good service. The service was top notch with all our group needs met. It was great mexican food. I got a simple chicken quesadilla. The chicken was deliciously stuffed to the max. I definitely recommend it here if you in area. It's really a simple fun vibe.

I ordered the chicken burrito. It was on point! I wish the provided beans and rice to go with it, but that wasn't the case. None the less the burrito tasted amazing. The staff was friendly. The food was affordable and of high quality.

Overall, pretty good experience - although the taquitos needed a lot more flavor. Also, the sauce needed to be much thicker for the Chips they give everyone as an appetizer. But the Carne Asada and the Beef Taco were definitely the highlights of the meal! Definitely ask for their hot sauce! Just the right amount of heat :) You'll enjoy it if you like a little bit of heat.
