Stopped into Montecristo last nite as part of my new quest: finding the best taco in the greater Lynn area. This is only the 3rd joint I've gotten to thus far in my new quest but as of now it's ranking number one! Taco filling / meat (I opted for pollo this time) was a tad dry but seasoned brilliantly, insofar as I wasn't able to pick out the individual spices as I usually can. I could definitely taste quite a bit of cilantro and cumin and what I think may have been smoked paprika, but can't say for sure. Whatever their medley is that they use is fantastico! On the tortilla, aside from the meat there was also some shredded lettuce, a very little bit of diced tomatoes & onions, very light sprinkling of queso. Served with a lime wedge and a little container of green hot sauce (probably the Cholula green pepper sauce). Now I'll have to go back to Montecristo and try the beef version...

UPDATE 6/1/17!: I ORDERED FOOD THE OTHER DAY AND NOW ME AND MY 3 CHILDREN WHO ARE 2 AND UNDER HAVE FOOD POISONING! NO BUENO...THAT SHOWS THIS PLACE IS CLEARLY UNSANITARY AND OR USING WRONG METHODS TO COOK. CONTAMINATION IS REAL! CLEAN YOUR COOKWARE, SEPARATE THE MEATS, AND DON'T USE THE SAME UTENSILS TO COOK WHEN RAW MEAT HAS TOUCHED IT!!! THIS IS CLEARLY A VIOLATION. AND I WAS A FAN.

The food is bueno pero, they take forever to deliver and the women on the phone can't take orders if her life depended on it. She has a nasty attitude that makes you want to go down there and slap the Centro americano outta her. She messes up all orders.

THEY DELETED MY RAW...
