Reviews
Let’s taco ’bout Tencho—a tiny but mighty Mexican spot in Medford Center that proves good things come in unassuming packages. Sure, it’s not the flashiest fiesta on the block, but who needs neon sombreros when your taste buds are doing the cha-cha with every bite?
We’ve done takeout twice now, and both times, the food slapped harder than a piñata at a birthday party. My wife swears by their tacos (and she’s a tough critic—almost as tough as deciding between chips and guac). But me? I’ve got a one-track mind—The Burro De La Casa: Adobado.
This isn’t just a burrito. Oh no. This is a flavor bomb wrapped in a tortilla hug. Tender, slow-braised pork in guajillo sauce? Check. Sweet plantains that flirt with savory perfection? Check. Queso fresco and sour cream tying it all together like a delicious edible bow? CHECK. It’s the kind of meal that makes you want to write sonnets—or at least Yelp reviews with too many puns.
I’ve ordered it both times because why mess with perfection? If Tencho only sold this burrito and a side of “sorry, we’re out of everything else,” I’d still be first in line.
Final Verdict: Tencho may be small, but their flavors are grande. Do yourself a flan-or and get that burrito before I buy them all.
Rating: (5/5 Tacos—because burritos are just tacos in commitment-phobe mode.)
The last couple of years, their tortas have gotten flatter. Less ingredients and soaking wet from the excess chipotle mayo and chipotle sauce. On top of that, by the time I get home (5 min drive), my food is cold. It’s really sad to see this happen. I hope that the owner reads this and takes into account how they are being represented now.
The reason I’m writing this review is basically yeah just the unwelcome feeling and look that I got from the person who made my food . Tasted very good actually but not as good as the location in Somerville, the cook was a bit younger, and he struggled to give me rice and bean customizations
We walked right in at about 630. It looked like it was a little chilly in there, but it was very inviting food wise.
The staff was very nice, smiled attentively and let us place our order.
It came up very quickly and we were sitting at a table by the window.
The food was OK. I’ve actually had better tacos, but these were definitely a good second to our absolute favorite.
The only thing I found? All of our tacos were room temperature or a little
bit warmer at best. Nothing was hot hot. I like hot hot.
But the flavor on each one was pretty good. I probably won’t get the chicken won again. That was very basic.
The carnitas and chiccharon ones were stellar.
But we will definitely be back.
