Very nice spot for a meal! Quick and kind service in this small no-frills shop. Tried the chicken trio and carne asada trio tacos. Also tried a few pupusas (jalepeno and cheese and revueltas). Tacos were great - light, easy to hold, soft but not soggy, meats were tender and seasoned well, and garnishes were fresh and finely chopped. Pupusas were a tad oilier than I hoped, but generally really good. I also ordered horchata. Probably wouldn't get again. The drink was too sweet and had chocolate plus another flavor (tasted like peanut butter) mixed in, which took away from the typical flavor. Dinner for 3 came out to ~$60 inclusive of tip. Would definitely recommend and I will be back!

Revueltas Pupusa and birria tacos

Second Framingham location!! Amazing food, not a single improvement could be made. The papusas are cheesy with tender meat, and cabbage to balance it out. The birria tacos are the best I've ever had. Good size, amazing flavor, rich broth. I also ordered the atol de elote drink, which is a thick, warm corn based drink. It's like sipping on a custard; I really want to make it at home not. You can't go wrong here and the prices are some of the best around as well. Friendly and fast service. Can't recommend enough!

Get the pupusas!! Came here on a Friday night and there was no one eating in but there were a few take out orders. Definitely a hole in the wall. It was in the middle of a heat wave (90 degrees) and they had two window ACs going but it was hotter inside than outside. We opted to eat in since we had time to kill in the area but definitely sweating!! Ordered the cheese and zucchini pupusa, chicken and cheese pupusas, and the steak burrito. They are made to order, so did take about 15 minutes to prepare. The zucchini one was the best. It comes with a side of spicy cabbage salad. I thought the salad was a bit too salty but the crunchy paired well with the pupusas. Burrito was just okay. Would skip the steak burrito and just get more pupusas next time!

My first experience with the pupusa. If you're not familiar, it's like a soft bread filled with cheese, vegetables, and/or meat. I tried quite a few to get the full experience. The place is tiny with maybe 2 tables and a bunch of counter seats. It was the definition of a hidden Gem hole in the wall. The staff is awesome. The food is handmade and fresh. My favorite was probably the zucchini and cheese one or jalapeño and cheese. It comes with a sort of vinegar slaw. That's quite nice to balance the flavor of the pupusa. Definitely check this place out for some authentic food and great people.

Estuvo bueno el desayuno! Go get some breakfast here. Look at my picture. It was glorious. Make sure to keep your eyes open. I drove by three times until I finally found this proverbial hole in the wall. The people there are super nice too!

Super authentic food portions are pretty big. Absolutely will go back delicious food. Staff super friendly :-) family friendly not a big place but it's comfortable. Plenty of parking

Black Beans Cheese Papusa

Got take out from here last week. The papusa's were great. We tried the beans-cheese and zucchini-cheese. I asked for less cheese and they delivered. The cabbage salad was good as well. The highlight of the meal was their Salvadorian Quesadilla. It was AMAZING. So different from anything I have had before. Don't mistake it with the regular grilled tortilla. Salvadoran quesadillas are rich, buttery, sweet-salty pound cake that's often eaten for breakfast with tea/coffee. But we thoroughly enjoyed it as our dessert. It wasn't overly sweet, which was PERFECT for us. We look forward to trying new dishes Friendly staff, reasonable prices and good food, what else do you need!

bean and cheese pupusa, chicken tacos
Shazie S.

Their pupusas and tacos are truly one of the best I've ever tasted!! Authentic flavors, great food quality, and great customer service! I had their bean & cheese pupusa with a side of chicken tacos, and it was the most elite lunch combo! 10/10 and can't wait to return!!

Pupusas
Adamma B.

First time trying Pupusas! The server was very kind and service itself was quick in terms of taking the order. The restaurant was quite busy when I ordered and I saw a lot of people actually ordered over the phone and picked up the food. I would recommend doing that next time as we did have to wait around 25 minutes after ordering since the Pupusas are cooked to order. Overall all of the pupusas had a great filling to dough ratio! I thought the sauce and cabbage toppings went perfectly with the meal and helped cut through some of the savory flavors! Chicharron con Queso Pork and cheese: Very savory in flavor with a great cheese and pork ratio! Queso con Jalapeño Jalapeño and cheese: This flavor is mostly cheese with some jalapeños which help cut the fattiness of the cheese. It is not spicy so no worries if you cannot handle spice. Frijol con Queso Bean and cheese: I loved the bean and cheese flavor! I felt it went really well with the cabbage toppings! Queso con Loroco Loroco and cheese: I had never heard of Loroco before checking out the menu but it seems to be some sort of flower based on my google search. The flavor was similar to squash in my opinion. It wasn't my favorite personally but not bad! Revueltas Pork, beans and cheese: This was my favorite of the flavors I tried! I thought the meat added a nice taste to the bean and cheese! Tres Leches Cake: Delicious! Pretty good size for the price. Small Chips and Guac: The chips are made in house and are very tasty. Thicker than chips I have gotten elsewhere. The guac was quite small for the price and was just avocado and onion. Definitely not bad but not really worth the price in my opinion. Overall I had a great experience and I will definitely be back again! Highly recommend if you are in the area!

It looks like a medium size pizza

I was hungry and in a hurry so I ordered takeout: a shrimp taco and a spinach and cheese pupusa…read more Wow! I've had many a taco and a few pupusas but not like this. As I always say in reviews, I'm a Parisian native and I'm pretty picky about my food from all regions. I was so pleasantly surprised about the quality of the ingredients and the freshness. It was really like home cooked food made by someone who cares. The pupusa was not deep fried, it was not greasy, it was just crispy enough on the outside and moist on the inside, and the cheese had flavor. The 2 small tortillas in the shrimp taco were handmade (!yes!) and flavorful, the shrimp was small but shelled, grilled, tasty and seasoned with cilantro, with the lime on the side and a slaw that was seasoned but not spicy (!yes again!) Side note: I always have a problem with spiciness levels. My palate cannot handle heat and I usually ask for not spicy or mild and still end up with my mouth on fire. It's annoying that I have to settle for food that is bland because there is too much heat in the dishes with spices. Anyway, I think the people who had a negative experience at Los Pinos probably didn't speak Spanish or their request didn't get across well. Because this is really good food, they care, and I'm grateful that I discovered them. I'm actually going back the same day to pick up more for dinner!

Keep an eye out for…read morethe colorful front door because that's your first clue you're about to find something special. This is the kind of authentic Mexican spot where you can tell everything is made fresh, in-house, and with a whole lot of TLC. Most of the staff spoke primarily Spanish, but ordering was still a breeze, and the ladies working were incredibly kind and welcoming. The space itself is tiny, just a few bar seats against the wall and a handful of small tables, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go kind of place. The burrito was hearty and packed with fillings. Nothing flashy, just a really solid, satisfying burrito that hit the spot. But the real MVP? The cheese and jalapeño pupusa. Holy melted goodness. It was cheesy, perfectly grilled on the outside, had just the right kick from the jalapeños, and had us wondering why we didn't order five more. If loving that pupusa is wrong, I don't want to be right!! The steak quesadilla was another winner... tender steak in every bite with plenty of cheese, and the mild green salsa absolutely stole the show. One bite and I was on a one-way trip to Flavor Town. Give me that stuff by the bottle! This place proves you don't need a fancy dining room to serve incredible food. Authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and dishes made with care. 10/10! I'll absolutely be back, and next time I'm ordering extra pupusas (and maybe just them lol)!

They're served with a cabbage slaw, tomato sauce and some spicy pickled jalapeños and carrots. The slaw gives it a nice crunch and the tomato sauce is nice and sweet to counter the saltiness of the cheese. My favorite is probably the loroco, which reminds me of broccoli and cheese but different. The corn dough outside is nicely charred but soft on the inside. It's not dry at all, even with the chicken filling. I paid 6 bucks for all of that. I probably will definitely order take out again. It was very fast and the girl spoke fluent English. The prices on the steak plates seem reasonable so I may try that the next time. The decor is sort of sad but the food is bomb.

If your in the mood for a home cooked meal for a great price give this joint a try. Thanks

I wish to stress that I would like to come back to this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant…read more Upon arriving to Chelsea on the commuter rail, I thought I would have time to sit down for a nice Central-American meal, but nooooooo. My wife was getting out in Revere right when I arrived in Chelsea, and she wanted to get something to eat (btw, picky eater, no way she would eat here). Coming this far I just had to get something, even if it meant eating it when I got home. I wanted something authentic and delicious. I got a couple of pupusa's to go. They weren't great cold, once we had gotten home; however a few minutes in the toaster oven and we were back in business and they were delicious. A great snack before going to bed. I would have enjoyed them better fresh, but I enjoyed them just getting the chance to try it. The only other time I had gotten pupusa was at California Burrito in Nashua N.H., I don't find them too often. Oh, so the parking is limited in the neighborhood. However, the restaurant is clean and the colors used for the paint are bright and cheery. I imagine myself here on a hot summer day enjoying a meal, and it's a cheerful change of pace in the winter months of Boston with the cold breeze bearing down these grey streets of Chelsea. The staff are bilingual and were very polite. This little neighborhood restaurant is worth paying a visit to.
