"Chilacates is Boston’s homegrown answer to Chipotle. You pretty much can’t go wrong anywhere on the menu, from the tacos to the tortas to the burritos stuffed to the gills with rice, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, and meat (the pork en chile verde is particularly hard to beat). There are locations all over the city now, including Jamaica Plain, South Boston, Mission Hill, and more." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
