I was told that Achilito's in the Gillette Stadium complex used to be a Moe's. I'm not trynna throw any shade on Moe's-- but Achilito's is fantastic. For me it was two al pastor tacos and the queso with avacado and ground beef. (Yeah. I didn't know how I felt about that at first either).Then she got the Steak California burrito.
Okay. That queso dip was so good-- the moan of ecstasy escaped my lips before I had time to think about what I must have sounded like. The creamy spice of that queso up against that meat and the creamy, cooling note of that avocado-- all with that salty crunch of that house made tortilla chip? Ummmm... the answer is yes. Yes, puhleeeeazzze!
And those tacos? Unbelievable. Pineapple, pork, sauce, cilantro, a smattering of cheese, a bit of lettuce. Perfect.
And btw-- there were other good things too-- fresh mango slices tossed in tajin--, I'm talkin' mangoes like I had in west Africa fresh off a tree-- sweet as candy mangoes-- as though the Achilito's people have some kind of mango telepathy and know such things, and they had real Mexican soda in glass bottles, and real tres leches cake-- properly soaked in and sitting in a generous pool of that milky delicious goodness.
Achilito's had ALL the things. And the service was fast too.
I don't live anywhere near Gilette stadium, but if I did, those tacos would be a destination. I'm just sayin'-- if you haven't been-- you gotta get over there and git you some!
