The ingredients are good and fresh, but they went too heavy on the salt. They need to adjust their spice mixture to have much less salt, and more of the seasonings we expect and enjoy: (cumin, chili powder, garlic, cilantro, etc.). Please update your seasoning! It's just too salty as is.

Plus they had other options, including tostadas, bowls, tamales, burritos, you name it. When we arrived, there were people inside eating. We stopped to look at the menu before ordering, and were greeted by a very friendly man who made the experience more enjoyable. I ordered a tostada with steak, onions, cilantro, a little sour cream, green verde sauce, lettuce, and refried beans. It was my first time trying one so so was really excited. I also ordered two cheese pupusas, which I ended up taking to go with me. My boyfriend ordered a bowl with chicken and various toppings. My tostada was delicious. The crunchy tortilla paired with fresh steak and all the juices from the onion and cilantro paired so nicely together. The ingredients seemed very fresh. We were gonna take this to go, but we decided to dine in. The same gentleman ended up checking in on us half way through the meal to see how we were doing. I thought this was really nice. His name is Chef Noe and he was telling us that he is the head chef for this restaurant. He was glad we enjoyed our meal and it was a pleasure talking to him. Overall I think the spot is well placed as it is right near Leslie university in Harvard so I think it's a good spot for students to come or if you're local like us. It's quick but it has quality. Its fast food but it's fresh. That's what I liked about it. It's all prepared in house and the flavors are great. The decor is also cute inside, very colorful and I thought it was creative that they up-cycled Jarittos bottles into flower vases. Definitely check out the spot when you're in Cambridge and you won't be disappointed.

It was super crowded even though it was cold weekday night, and we ordered beef tongue burrito and mushroom quesadillas that night and they were delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Then we ordered delivery since we really wanted to try their pupusas and other menus. Steak burrito: I think I prefer beef tongue one better, I could taste some rubbery texture on the meat with steak one. Birria tacos: good flavor, I think I wanna try fish next time. Vegetable quesadillas: The cheese in this thing is awesome. Churros: Nicely fried, good touch on stuffed condensed milk! Tres Leches: Perfectly moist tres leches, we're getting that again. Platanos Fritos: Plantains were good, but I think I prefer crunchier bites. Cheese / Zucchini / Chicken pupusas: you must get cheese, other ones were okay. It was also great that burrito/quesadillas came with chips + salsa! I think this would be our Mexican place to order on from now on, great addition to the neighborhood!

We were recommended by a friend to try this place since their food is apparently pretty good in Waltham, so we gave it a try. I was really looking forward to trying, but there were a lot of bad impressions accumulated towards the end of our visit. 1. When we arrived, there were only 2 wait staff, so it took about 5 minutes for them to seat us. We just thought maybe it's just a small run business, so nothing too big of a deal. 2. When we decided what to get, no one checked in with us and even with us trying to get their attention, it took about 10 minutes for us to place our order. Maybe it's just that they don't have enough staff today, but there also weren't that many customers.. 3. The food took 20 minutes to come for our table of 2, so by now we've been in here for over half an hour! Food is again good. The only noticeable thing is the black burnt marks on the birria, which had a sour bitter taste to it. 4. When we paid, we handed the credit card, which they processed on their tablet. As we waited to then select the tips and sign the tablet, they already MANUALLY SELECTED 25% TIPS WITHOUT TELLING US! I totally get it if their service was top notch to the point where they deserve a fourth of our dinner cost, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE!! If we didn't ask for the receipt, we wouldn't even know that they frauded us! If you have enough money for them to select the tips for you, as you gamble on their service quality, then sure give it a try. But I'm not coming back for a business that tries to steal my money via tips!
