"I visited Taqueria el Barrio, which opened a little over a month ago near Boston University, and found flavors of Sonora and a concise menu that starts with chips and salsa worth talking about hours after the meal. The salsa asada has a smoky, charred taste of roasted tomatoes and just the right amount of garlic — while the roja, verde, and macha are excellent — and I could eat the salsa asada by the tubful. The al pastor taco features melty pork, oozy pineapple, and soft corn tortillas, there's an impressive fried fish taco with light-as-air chipotle mayo, the chicken taco didn’t quite hit the mark for me, and the dulce de leche churro is a notable dessert." - Dana Hatic
