There's a saying that: "A good taco doesn't need cheese. A good taco only needs a little bit of lime and cilantro." This statement is true when it comes to this place - which is a huge compliment since Boston is famous for its lack of authentic, good taco restaurants. (Came with a mexican friend who had been searching for good tacos in Boston for a long time.) Got 4 tacos with 4 different fillings: Al pastor (pork with pineapple), Papa's con chorizo (potatoes and meat), lengua (beef tongue), and pork en Chile Verde (carnitas in salsa). Homemade taco shells - fresh, warm, thick and soft without that grainy texture. All the meat were super tender and juicy. The Papa's con chorizo didn't blow me away - could taste more potatoes than chorizo (if any). But I would definitely come back to get the Al pastor and pork en Chile Verde. Also got the horchata which was delicious! It reminded of sweetened almond milk with cinnamon. If you don't like cinnamon, don't get this drink. My friend got the quesadilla with the Papa's con chorizo. Wasn't blown away with it but we think it's because of the filling. The potatoes were too plain - not enough flavors. Good amount of melted cheese and the guac is perfect. Very filling meal, delicious, and it can get Super messy since the filling will topple out of the taco shell with every bite - but no complaints there. 😉 The space is small. Only counter space to eat with maybe 7 chairs. Service is great and fast!

Food: Torta (Toasted Mexican telera bread, shrimp, refried beans, melted jack cheese, guac, pico, lettuce, jalapeño, mayo) Ambiance: Very cute, casual, small venue. Parking: Street parking is available. Pricing: Fair. Food (flavors): This torta was PACKED with flavor. The pico and lettuce gave the torta a fresh flavor. The cheese, guac, mayo, and refried breans gave the torta the fatty flavors that we know and love. The shrimp was cooked well, but I don't recall tasting any distinct seasonings on it. I didn't really taste the jalapeños which was good for me because I don't like them too much. The bread was so soft and lightly toasted; I enjoyed it. Portion size: Large For more reviews, my food page is @fave_foodie on instagram.

Found a live beetle in my food. I showed the staff and the cursed me out and refused to give me my money back. This will be dealt with, making sure the city of Boston puts a B or C in the window of this dirty place. Staff told me both “you’re being too picky” when I didn’t just take the big out and that “it’s not their fault, it probably just fell into the meat”. $16 for 2 tacos and a drink and they send me on my way hungry and without the money I spent. Literally saw my food moving, disgusting.
