Achilito's Taqueria — Restaurant in Cambridge

This place is a joke. I'd never seen it before having lived here more of my life and usually frequent Felipe's or El Jefe's in the area but thought I'd try something new. My first impression of what I'm used to being a a clean counter elsewhere was instead a mess here. The person that made my burrito was tossing stuff in it so quickly that he tore the burrito but never bothered to fix it. He put a chunk of carnitas in it without cutting. I'm not sure what the rush was when there was no one else in line. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt but, in the end the food is barely (and that's being generous) a step up from a large fast food chain, and very much reflective of the service and quality I realized I was going to receive. Definitely will not be coming back here.

There's two other solid spots within in walking distance of this place, go to one of them, they're both miles better and unsurprisingly packed at this hour when I walked around while this...

My boyfriend got food from them on uber eats and I'm just gonna say I'm absolutely shocked. Okay we ordered 2 chicken quesadillas. So in the order there's add ons so we added on sour cream, guac, queso and plantains. These people put the plantains in the quesadilla it was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen! I don't know if someone was high or what so barely any chicken and a ton of banana plantains cooked into the two quesadillas. We also ordered a side of chips and added guac and queso they combined the guac and queso into one bowl and mixed it together. All I'm gonna say is the food was sub par and the concoctions that clearly some high person creating was the grossest thing we've ever seen or had. Also they were somehow able to put the guac, sour cream and queso from the quesadillas on the side but then what figured we're gonna mess with these people and cook plantains into there food! Never will eat ever again! First and last time! Here's...

I’m keeping this short, sweet, yet to the point:

AchillitosEl Jefes

I was so sick and tired of being stuck having to order el jefes after realizing I had been working and yet to eat. I opted to google other options and happened upon this place. Hands down best kept late night secret of Harvard Square not to mention I love the man that put up with all my little burrito edits and requests with a huge smile on his face. I give this place a 100 💯 100% satisfaction rating overall. It’s good to know there are still hidden gems like this one. I will add that for the sake of the business I hope it does well $$ wise since they deserve to, but I’d like to keep the quiet atmosphere the same so it doesn’t turn into the monstrosity awfulness of El Jefes just a few steps away. So relived to have a new regular late night spot. Thank you guys keep being awesome 👏🏼 😎(sorry this wasn’t too short and sweet...
