"We live in Roxbury, so the Mission Hill shop is our local. It was a once-a-week thing before the pandemic hit, and it’s still a once-a-week thing now. We usually order eight tacos (a mix of al pastor, chicken tinga, lengua, and carnitas), chips and guac, and a burrito, which we refrigerate and reheat for breakfast the following morning. —TBD Currently offering takeout. Consult the restaurant’s website for information on the other locations. Order: (617) 286-3888 / Official Website" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle


"Tijuana-style birria tacos made with stewed beef are cheesy, meaty, and gloriously messy, served with a piquant reddish jus (consomé) for dipping; these fatty, rich tacos are ideal when paired with something sweet (a Coke) or something crisp (a clean lager) and are a highly craveable takeout treat." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Chilacates has grown into a mini empire in the last several years, and for good reason: Its tacos are the absolute truth. The Mission Hill location is just down the road from our Roxbury apartment, and we eat there often. My order, always: one lengua taco, one al pastor taco, one chicken tinga taco. The tortas are also worth your time. —TBD" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle


"Nachlo operates daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Its opening adds to the area’s already-growing set of dining options, including fairly recent openings such as Milkweed (a cafe) and a Chilacates location, plus the forthcoming Tavern of Tales board game cafe." - Dana Hatic

"The popular Jamaica Plain taqueria Chilacates is expanding broadly, with imminent openings in Mission Hill and Chestnut Hill and a planned South End location, continuing to scale its taqueria concept across multiple Boston neighborhoods." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
