My girlfriend had a tostada. We also got the churros that were phenomenal. Just a great place and everything was under $50 total so cheap such a great value.

They know me whenever I call to order food, and every time I walk in, they greet me with a smile, give me a fist bump, and say things like, "What's up, Philip?" or "What's up, buddy?" That kind of service really makes you feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer. This place is honestly amazing, and the recognition it has received speaks for itself. It was named one of Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in the U.S. and was also named Massachusetts' best hole-in-the-wall restaurant. It is widely celebrated for its authentic, flavorful, and incredibly affordable Mexican food, and after eating here myself, I completely understand why. In my opinion, this is easily one of the best restaurants around. The food is consistently delicious, the staff are incredible, the prices are great, and the overall experience is excellent every time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. If you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out!

Compared to other places I've tried here, Amuleto was not bad! I liked the quesabirria tacos (which came with consommé!) and side of rice. The servers seemed to be Spanish speaking and overall it gave me a feeling of authenticity. The margarita options were good but I was disappointed by the lack of frozen options (seems no common here). I liked their amuleto with Mezcal! It was strong and tasty!! One of my table mates had a carne asada plate which was heaping and looked awesome! I want to get that next time!

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)!

The tortilla chips were warmed and fresh as always, and the tortillas were soft and a nice complement to the meal. As always very good food! And nice atmosphere as well.

We were interested in trying the tripe soup but found on the menu that it's only available on weekends. Given the toughness of the meats though, I'm not angling to come for the tripe anytime soon.
