Abuela's Table

The Hottest New Restaurants in Boston Right Now

"As the name implies, Abuela’s Table welcomes customers as if at their own grandmother’s house, if their grandmother also happens to be a top-notch chef. Owner Adolfo Alvarado transported some of the hits from his Somerville spot Tu Y Yo — those mini fried grasshopper tacos with chiles, or tacos de chapulines, are a must-order — and mixed in a few new plates like a spicy habanero chicken sandwich on a brioche bun. The Mexican restaurant is housed inside a storied spot in Jamaica Plain where Cuban mainstay El Oriental de Cuba once stood." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares
