"Abuela’s Table had some big shoes to fill when it opened in the former home of Cuban icon El Oriental de Cuba, and it has managed the pressure with flying colors. From the same team behind Somerville mainstay Tu Y Yo, diners will find a similar menu here that boasts tender tamales steamed in both corn husks and banana leaves, a rich mole colorado tlaxcalteca, and tacos stuffed with crispy hunks of tilapia. This welcoming, no-reservations spot is a reliable go-to for everything from weekly meetups to last-minute date nights." - Erika Adams
