    burrito
    Michele M.

    Probably one of the best quesabirria's I've had around Massachusetts. The outside was crispy and the meat was so soft. The connsomee was the perfect dipping soup. We also got the quesadillas which came with lettuce, pico degallo, corn, guacamole, and sour cream. It was SO good! Everything just melted in my mouth. The al pastor tacos were okay. I think everything else set the bar too high already. I came back a second time and tried their burrito and it was solid. The steak was tender and juicy. I love that this place gives guac for free! I did have to add my own spicy sauce to add a little more flavor to it. I typically order online and it's ready for pick up within 15 minutes. The people are very nice!

    Horrible experience, food looks completely unappetizing and it did do just that. They were nice but I won't be coming back. No idea how it has 4.5 stars.

    Order all the time, tonight was terrible. Cheese on Birria was like glue tasted horrible. Thank god we had chips atleast, will not be getting food from here again.

    Ordered our food to-go so service was very quick. The taco meat was okay, a little dry. The sweet pineapple on top was delicious though.

    Service was excellent. Tres leches was PHENOMENAL. Loaded nacho fries could use a little more flavor but great composition. No wait.

FOOD: The chips and salsa were a great start! We loved it so much we asked for extra, and kept some salsa to put on our food. I got the shredded beef El Potro Chimichanga. There was a lot of beef and cheese inside, and the beef had a lot of flavor! It was not crunchy outside but I didn't mind since it was yummy. My friend got the vegetarian enchiladas which had an assortment of vegetables inside including squash, zucchini, and carrots. Another friend got the nachos with chicken, which were each individually dressed! OVERALL: It is a cute restaurant and we all agreed that the food was very good! Definitely would come back.

Keep being amazing, keep pushing through. I appreciate the staff and the atmosphere here. Great on non busy days too!

    We came around 6pm on a weekday and it was completely empty…read more We came here because we saw tik tok videos of how fun, busy, and vibrant this place was but I think we just came at the wrong time and wrong day. The business is sort of in a house? It was small and kind of dark inside. It was definitely an interesting experience,,, The appetizer was reallyyy good, I forgot the name though... The mole however, was not very good. The mole was liquidy and the chicken was dry. Overall, I think this place is more for fun busy nights where you just drink and apps. I'd like to come again when its busier and we aren't the only customers.

We started off with two drinks- a frozen mangonada and this passion fruit drink. They were both solid but I liked the mangonada better because the passion fruit cocktail had too much pulp in it! For food, we started off with chips and guac. This guac was some of the best I've had. It was super fresh and you could tell exactly what ingredients they used. We also their pork ribs! The ribs fell off the bone and I loved the warm sauce except it was a tiny bit dry. The sauce was reminiscent of an umami bbq sauce. We decided to try their zucchini dish, as recommended by the manager! I don't love zucchini usually but I liked it. It was roasted with cheese, sauces, and some shrimp. Very creative, Lastly we got the tuna ceviche of the day. I didn't really like this because it was really heavy on the dill. I think it would've been good without it. However the presentation was gorgeous and it came with plantains. Overall the vibes are superb here for a date, girls night, or whatever!!

We tried the bean and cheese arepa, beef enchiladas and birria tacos. All were really good. The arepa was a good ratio of filling to dough. Beef enchiladas came were super cheesy outside and the side of beans were really tasty. Birria tacos were so delicious and loaded with cheese and beef with the perfect crunchy outside. The complimentary chips come out hot and super tasty. They have habanero tabasco on the table which was so hot and so good! My only complaint is that they did forget my order.. so everyone was chowing down and maybe halfway through their meal before I got my tacos.

We are not that far from Medford and it took over 45 minutes to get there (traffic was crazy!) and we were running late. I called and they were super nice and said they could hold the table for 10 minutes (we were running 5 minutes behind our reservation) and not to stress out. When we got there, they were hopping! I am sure they get a lot of pre-show people because before I could even say we had to be out of there by 7, she asked if we were going to the show and assured us we would be out way before then. My hubby and decided to go the tapas route (which is basically the majority of their menu) and it was AWESOME! We started with the Queso Fundido. I am not a chirozo fan but the hubby is so I thought I would give it a try. It worked very well with the cheese and did not over power it. We moved on to the Cheviche Amarillo, Plantano Macho stuffed with beef, and Pollo Mole. All were perfect and just the right amount of food. I think my favorite was the Cheviche which was a white fish with sweet potato. The "sauce" was a citrusy topping and so light - did not detract from other flavors. Really all three were delicious. We also tried the flan because it looked so good coming out. Fair warning that I am not a flan person but it looked so yummy. Again, it was better than I have had but still not a fan - hubby on the other had devoured it with pleasure. It is a great location as well, and the space was very cheery, clean and despite being super busy we were not on top of each other - super worth the trip!

I got the margarita de la casa with salt, it was your classic margarita, but I liked it. Smaller size. For food, we started with the tamal with pork mole, which was really tasty, and fresh. Only one per order though, at $12 a piece. The size wasn't huge either. I then ordered the arroz del mar. It was creamy rice mixed with calamari, shrimp, and octopus. I was expecting more of a cream sauce but it was more like a watery broth, with a kick. It was spicy but tolerable. I liked the flavors but it didn't hit my craving. My boyfriend got the pollo con mole which he liked but I don't think he was crazy about it. I was still hungry so we ordered the plantano macho with beef. This stuffed plantain was good, I liked the cheese on it. But again, small size.. I will say I didn't know it was tapas style until we overheard the waitress tell another table. It makes sense in hindsight but we were quite hungry and this might have deterred us from coming. Portions were small even for tapas style. I saw a group and I'm not sure how they managed without ordering a surplus of food. I overheard them order at least 7 tacos...one per order... Strong flavors and fresh ingredients, I would say that. I think this is an elevated experience for food and it was a pleasant experience, but I wouldn't rush back because I don't think the portions were worth it even for tapas style.

The Birria tacos and Birria chimichanga were out of this world... my favorites out of everything we ordered. Very flavorful and generous portion sizes. Honestly we ordered way more than we could eat lol but they made for the best leftovers the next day.
