Reviews
However, the second time I got the chicken breast in poblano sauce it wasn’t as great: the chicken was overcooked and dry and there was very little sauce. It was also a bit too salty. Their Tinga Poblana (shredded chicken in a chipotle sauce) was a bit bland and forgettable.
I’ve also gotten the Salmon Criolla main dish. It comes with 2 shrimp cakes (super good!), rice, homemade beans, and salmon in a creamy red pepper sauce. This sauce was pretty good, but you could tell the salmon wasn’t that fresh as it had a slight fishy odor.
Tu y Yo is the only place around here that actually feels Mexican rather than Tex-Mex or a watered-down local version (they have huitlacoche on the menu!). The food is consistently good, comforting, and very reasonably priced for the quality. Taco Tuesday is an incredible deal.
If someone asks me where to get good Mexican food in Boston, this is where I send them.
We ordered tamales (5), soup, a carnitas plate, cactus juice, and avocado cheesecake.
My gosh. You know a place is bomb when all you want to eat is their rice and beans. The tamales were extremely moist, the soup was flavorful, the carnitas was tender, and the dessert was rich and not too sweet. All their food was fresh, delicious, and very authentic tasting.
Will absolutely be back!
Also their in-house hot sauce is extremely good.
