Authentic Puebla dishes, superb moles, breakfast, lunch, dinner
"This family-owned restaurant offers traditional regional dishes from Puebla, Mexico. This is their original location, with a more recent second site in the Orient Heights part of East Boston. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it’s known for its superb moles, the richly flavored sauces that are a staple of authentic Poblana cuisine. Unique breakfast items include dulce de leche pancakes, a shrimp fajita omelette, and chilaquiles (corn tortillas sautéed with salsa, shredded chicken, sour cream, queso, onion, avocado, eggs, and refried beans). For lunch or dinner, try some flautas (crispy fried corn tortillas filled with either chicken or potatoes, with lettuce, avocado, and cheese) or albondigas (beef and pork meatballs in a mildly spicy serrano sauce), and end your meal with a chocolate bread pudding or flan." - Nick DiStefano

"In East Boston’s sunshine yellow Mexican cafe, the elaborate mole poblano is a treasured tradition passed down from the restaurant’s late matriarch’s own mother. Meanwhile, the cafe serves warming pozole, chilaquiles, and seasonal dishes like chiles en nogada (a fried poblano pepper filled with picadillo, covered in walnut cream sauce, and jeweled with shiny pomegranate seeds). There’s plenty of booze to wash it down — such as a coconut margarita, Mexican coffee, and a dulce de leche martini. Breakfast, like the huevos rancheros, is served daily until 3 p.m., too." - Erika Adams
"This East Boston favorite for Mexican — with a focus on Puebla cuisine — has locations in both Eagle Hill and Orient Heights. The hearty sopa de pozole, made with hominy, is perfect in any weather, made with a choice of shredded pork or chicken; topped with lettuce, onions, radish, oregano, and chile powder; and served with corn tortilla layered with queso fresco and refried beans." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Angela’s is best known for its mole poblano de Angela — named for its late founder and matriarch, Angela Atenco Lopez — and you should definitely try that, but its tacos al pastor are also exceptional. Angela’s has a second location in Orient Heights. Angela’s is open for indoor dining, takeout, and delivery."
