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

The mole is my favorite, it tastes home made and authentic. Be careful though as it is spicy but worth it. The birria tacos are also delicious, well seasoned and cheesy! It’s a must try and hole in the wall place that deserves more clientele

Stopped by for lunch at this spot. The menu has a great variety, featuring tacos, soups, apps, and more. My partner went with the build-your-own burrito, while I tried the flautas (which come with 5). The flautas were perfectly crispy and topped with crema, shredded lettuce, and cotija cheese—definitely a must-try! Five was the perfect amount.
My partner’s burrito was decent, but we’ve had better. The spicy chicken tinga had great flavor, though. He’s a big fan of hot sauce, and unfortunately, the spicy sauce they provided wasn’t very spicy, which was a bit of a letdown.
Overall, solid meal! If it’s busy, seating may be limited, but it’s a great spot for takeout.

Very nice taqueria, located on a main street with free street parking about a block away. Handicap accessible, all flat. Pleasant and colorful interiors, and Mexican music.
Comfortable seating, clean restroom. Friendly and hospitable owner, saw me working in a laptop and gave me the WiFi password.
Fresh and tasty food (Mexican and Korean) served on a real plate. The unique feature is the self served salads and dressings, that’s convenient and generous.
Very good experience overall 🙂

Came by on a Monday afternoon for some lunch, my friend and I were greeted by friendly staff at the front and were provided with free drinks while we waited for our 3rd friend. We ordered at the counter and sat ourselves at the tables, food showed up pretty quickly.
Chips & guac- 5/5, they fry their own chips, which are amazing. I assume it was the manager, who brought out different sauces for us to try with our meals.
The beef, shrimp, and bulgogi tacos- all 5/5 and delicious. Highly recommend the bulgogi taco- they use a separate crispy corn taco shell for it.

Solid fusion. Bulgogi tacos were insane. The kim chi isn’t overpowering and the wonton shells hold up better than expected. Nice and airy. Birria ramen… what’s not to love. Excellent all around. Definitely coming back
