I have no problem with the fact that the floors were filthy, the TV was blasting, the tables were dirty, the garbage was overflowing, and the service was cold. It was the fact that the food was terrible. The keyword is "dry". So much so that it was all really inedible. Yes, the food was dirt cheap. But you get what you pay for. I'm sorry Dominicanas, if this is typical then I feel bad for you. Maybe I was supposed to go to Pollo Tipico? I'll have to ask my friends.

I also got an chicken and cheese empanada ($2.00) so my entire lunch was $11.00. A vEry generous amount of food- good value. The food tasted fine- not outstanding but filled the void.

When we got there we were a little confused because it was also a store. towards the back they have a little restaurant and a menu where you can choose how many pieces of chicken you want with fries or plantains. However, while we were waiting in line we talked to someone that frequents the establishment and they said to not order off of that menu and just go further down the line and order off what's on the table. So I took her advice and ordered some Spanish rice with chicken stew and one piece of fried Chicken. The food smelled amazing the entire drive home and when we got home we started to eat. There was a lot of rice which is great but not needed and the chicken was very good. I actually preferred the fried over the stew but that's just me. I'm sure if I had more of the stew sauce on the rice it would have made a bigger difference but I didn't have a lot on my plate. Over all the places good and I would love to go back again and try something new.

I don't leave Yelp reviews often because honestly most places are somewhere between "pretty good"…read moreand "fine." But I had to break the silence for this one. I've been searching for legitimately good Mexican food around Boston for YEARS. Having family in Mexico ruined me in the best way possible because now my standards are absurdly high. Most places get a polite "yeah it was decent." Not this place. Holy $hit...Mestiza absolutely blew my mind. The birria tacos were the best I've ever had. Ever. Not "best in Boston." Not "best lately." I mean if these tacos and I got married tomorrow my wife would probably understand. The steak tacos? Unreal. The al pastor? Illegal levels of good. Everything tasted like the kitchen was personally trying to change my life. And the staff was awesome too. Super friendly, welcoming, and somehow patient while I sat there contemplating ordering a second full meal immediately after finishing the first one. This is the first restaurant in years where I walked out thinking, "well...food will never be the same again." Do not overthink this. Stop reading reviews. Just go now before I buy the place and keep it for myself.
