Ordered takeout, was accurate and ready on time. $17 for birria tacos. They had good flavor but could’ve had more meat and browned longer. The consomme was like a literal broth, watery instead of thick and not the typical red color. Tres leches was good, a little sweet for my liking. Picture seems like 2 tacos but serving was 3. Would try some of their other offerings but wouldn’t go back for birria.

The tacos are stellar. Homemade fresh corn tortillas, well seasoned meats, fresh salsa bar, all for a very reasonable price. Service is fast, what more could you want out of a local taqueria?

My husband, daughter and I loved all the food here! We tried the tacos, burrito, flautas, guacamole and chips and it was sooo good! The food was fresh, full of flavor and well made! We ate it so fast, didn’t have time to take pictures! The worker was so nice and we loved the salsa bar. We will definitely be back for more and for Taco Tuesday’s!

THE ONLY GOOD STREET TACOS IN BOSTON. Lived here 3 years and have been really disappointed with the taco scene. Ordered from here and was blown away to see overflowing meat and handmade tortillas. You’ve made a hungry SoCal boy very happy. I got carne asada, al pastor, lengua, and barbacoa
