"The color-splashed dining room at El Centro radiates warmth with Mexican art, housemade tortillas, and pours of micheladas. Raised in the north of Mexico in a family with restaurants in Hermosillo, Mexico, chef and co-owner Allan Rodriguez lays the table at El Centro with dishes from his home state of Sonora — like carne asada tacos and caramelos (tacos made with grilled beef and topped with melted cheese), as well as moles inspired by those found in Oaxaca, and street snacks from central and southern regions of Mexico. Do not leave without ordering at least one round of empanadas for the table. A location in Dedham is now open, too." - Nathan Tavares, Eater Staff
