I have very mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, it is by far the best tasting Mexican…read morefood in SE Massachusetts. On the other hand, it was the worst service I have had in recent memory. We started by asking for 2 margaritas and 2 waters. The margaritas were very good. The two glasses of water had no ice and were room temperature. When we got the bill at the end of the meal, we were billed for 2 bottled waters at $1.50 each. I'm guessing that we were not supposed to be billed for the water, but the inexperience and lack of English by the waitress likely caused the error. I paid the bill without comment. There were no chips given or offered. To best describe the ability of the waitress, imagine that you took an 18 year old who had grown up in another country, had never been an employee or patron in a restaurant, given her no training, and left her there on her own as the only server in the place. Each time anyone wanted to order anything, she had to go back to the bar to get her order book. I watched her make 5 separate trips to deliver food to the table next to ours when any normal waitress would have done it in 2 trips. After we finished eating, it took another 20 minutes to pay the bill and get out. Be aware that the tip was included on the bill. The restaurant is not in a great part of town, but I did not feel unsafe. My wife was a bit uneasy walking back to the car. Despite the service, I will likely go back because the food was so good.

Warning though, this spot is cash only though so be prepared ( although I'm pretty sure they have an ATM on site)

Tried this place out due to the great reviews on Doordash, and I'm so glad I did…read more The menu options are sort of set up "Chipotle-style," and I got a chicken burrito bowl, as well as chips and queso, and an order of churros to split with my boyfriend. Everything was *really* good. The chicken was super flavorful, with an excellent texture - tender, not dry, tough, or that weird bounciness some places' chicken has. The spanish rice in my bowl also tasted amazing, and the rice was very soft, but not sticky or mushy - again, the perfect texture. The veggies were also fresh and crisp. The churros had a slight crunch, but were soft and pillowy inside, and with a light drizzle of honey (I think?) on top, and just enough cinnamon and sugar. The chips and queso were also great. The chips were thick enough to hold up to the consistency of the queso without breaking. Additionally, the pricing seemed fair. It was $33 or so for everything we got, Doordash and delivery fee included. All in all, I recommend it over Chipotle, EASILY. This is my new go-to, I ate it yesterday and I honestly can't wait to eat it again. Do not sleep on this place!!
