"A hole in the wall, an unpretentious nook, a seamless part of one of Boston's more diverse neighborhoods; Taquería Jalisco has been serving up authentic Mexican for over twenty years. East Boston isn’t one of those neighborhoods that typically attract out-of-towners; it’s pretty residential and sits across Boston Harbor from the rest of the city, but it also just so happens to be home to a number of hidden food gems. This is the kind of place that invites you to lean in to the fun: let the birria taco consomme drip down your chin, pull a melty string of cheese out of your quesadilla, and warm up from the Boston cold with a giant bowl of flavorful pozole. This city might gain notoriety for its flashy, chef-driven restaurants, but a humble taquería reminds us that sometimes you just need to let good food speak for itself." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon
