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.

Everything we got was tasty, and the staff really is friendly. Highly recommended.

Best. Wings. Ever. I know it's a Mexican restaurant, and there are a bunch of authentic dishes I…read morecould rave about, but the wings here are so freaking good. Spice level is spot on. Consistently tender. It's just addictive. Do yourself a favor and order them! Everything else I've tried is good too - mole, guac, burrito, shrimp tacos, tamales. Lots of seating. People also come for the bar and watch games that are on. Decorated very vibrantly. There's a parking lot. Pricing is around $25-35 per person, can be more if you get multiple drinks. Staff is pleasant. I've seen other locations in the bos area, but I've only made my way to this location in Chelsea and I highly recommend!

But compared to Mexican I've had elsewhere, it was a bit underwhelming to me. My friends and I tried a variety of tacos and bowls and all felt the same. Sounds like birria woulda been the move. The restaurant itself was pretty small and crowded, despite coming between lunch and dinner, so we turned it into a picnic. Not much to say in terms of service, but the staff seemed kind. I'd be down to give them another chance to impress me!

We decided to be healthy and try to balance the birria taco goodness with some other dishes, including guacamole and chips, chicken tamale, and steak tacos. The tamale was quite good, and I would definitely get again. The guacamole was just ok and the steak tacos were quite dry. My advice is to stick with the Birria tacos (which I'll be back again and again for).

The steak was cooked perfectly and it came with everything I was craving. Plus the refried beans, creama, eggs, plantains, chicharron, and warm tortilla--yum! The pupusa was different, as it's made with a different cheese here which the waitress did warn us. Because of this, it wasn't our favorite but still good. Overall this spot is popular in East Boston, I would definitely check it out! Also if you tell them it's your birthday they will sing to you and you get to wear the special hat :)

We also got chips and dip! The chips were delicious and the salsa was even better! The shrimp burrito had rice, lettuce, crema, and I put the spicy salsa Verde on it.
