I was looking for something nutritional and not too heavy. I came across this Dominican Republic…read morespot on Google, it had high reviews. I tried to Uber here but the location wasn't appearing so I gave them a call and confirmed they are open. I actually took the subway and it was super easy as it is near a stop. Spicy Shrimp Bowl 5/5 - the fish was really soft and seasoned just right. The black rice is phenomenal, I could eat it on my own. Horchata 5/5 - exactly how I like it, heavier on the cinnamon side, also the horchata helped with cooling down my tongue after pouring too much ghost pepper on my bowl Dropping a star because the service isn't that great, when our food was ready, the staff member just muttered our food was ready...also seems like the utensils are in a spot only for staff to grab but it's actually self serve. We also asked for queso and were told they had some. When we never got it with our food, the staff member acted like he didn't know what we were talking about.

I was also excited to see a prickly pear on the menu on the east coast. For food my friend and I split the chips with salsa verde and the portion was huge.

The space has a cozy, relaxed vibe with a nice mix of bar and table seating. If it's super busy you might have to wait a bit to get a table.

Instead of just peppers and onions they had a very nice mix of fresh veggies. Packed well in a heavy burrito and with a side of the green salsa, I was very happy. Will try some meat ones when I get the craving again.

For an early weekday dinner, I stopped by Viva Taco. It's easy to miss in an area replete with…read moreLatin American restaurants, though its location on a small intersection and its brightly painted exterior helped it stand out. The establishment itself doesn't have much space--just a small counter with bar seating by the window that fits about three people, and a single table that seats maybe six. It's definitely more of a take-out spot. I had the place to myself, so I ordered a chicharrón burrito ($13) and fried yuca ($7). I didn't expect to finish it all. The burrito came out in less than five minutes. The rice was well-salted and flavorful, the plantains added a surprising sweetness, and the chicharrones were satisfyingly crispy. The pico de gallo tasted extra fresh, and the tomato salsa had that slight grit you only find in freshly made versions. This burrito was also loaded--I was full after finishing it. One small nitpick: I would have preferred a pressed tortilla for a bit more heat and structure. About halfway through my burrito, the yuca fries arrived. They came topped with shredded lettuce and more of that fresh tomato salsa. The portion was generous here as well. None of that "five sticks of yuca for $10 at the upscale Latin American place" nonsense. Viva Taco is neighborhood comfort food at its finest--quick and filling without sacrificing flavor, and at a reasonable price point. It might not be perfect, but it's exactly the sort of place I wish every community had.

It's not always the tidiest place since you've got customers coming in after the bars, but the tacos are delicious. I like the carnitas best, but thought the steak was good on my recent visit. Top them with the pickled jalapenos or the mango habanero salsa. Both have a legit kick!

The Beacon Street location is our preference (with the Newton Center location closed.) We started out with a full carafe of Sangria: Even better than I remembered it. Chips and salsa quickly appeared. I remembered the salsa having more kick, but I also know many people prefer mild-tasting salsa. (We could have asked for spicier salsa.) Our entrees: Carnitas and Guacamole for Kathy, and Enchiladas Rojas (with beef) including black beans (in place of refried beans.) I sampled each of Kathy's dinner options, and each one was delicious. My plate was almost too much for one meal. Each item was cleanly placed on the large plate and piping hot when I received it. Delicious from start to finish. (Kathy took 50% of her Carnitas home with her.) Our server was exceptionally patient as we waded through the dinner options. We were greeted at the door and given the option of being seated outside or indoors. We chose indoors. The decor remains very traditional (and I mean that in an "authentic" way) with captivating art throughout the dining area. We both agreed that we would return more often.

Best Mexican Food in Boston? Maybe, but get out of Boston and you will have better. The table…read moreshared appetizers were all good: Guacamole - Avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeno. Queso Asado - Blend of baked cheeses with chorizo slices. Carnitas - Grilled pork tenderloin tips in chipotle-orange sauce, spicy. The Queso was amazing. The Carnitas were more unusual than good. Tasted more like traditional BBQ than Maxican. I did enjoy my main of Enchiladas Rojas - Soft tortillas (3) filled with "picadillo" beef, covered with red tomato sauce, cheese. Service was good. The place itself did feel authetic. To me, however, it was just another Mexican place without something I would be longing to go back for.
