"With locations in Belmont, Brookline, Dedham, and the South End and a first South End branch opened in 2011, El Centro serves a Sonoran-rooted but regionally adventurous menu from owner Allan Rodriguez: tacos light served on lettuce as a tribute to Hermosillo’s Jass Light taqueria, carne asada tacos and caramelos (tacos made with grilled beef and topped with melted Chihuahua cheese), mole inspired by Oaxacan versions, and sopes—all informed by Rodriguez’s family restaurant background and homemade flour-tortilla and churro recipes." - Terrence Doyle
