"I refuse to tally the number of times I ordered Chilacates this year." — Erika Adams, Eater Boston editor. A succinct, hyperbolic endorsement signaling very frequent visits and a clear favorite among the editor's orders." - Erika Adams
Boston Restaurant Openings April 2023 - Eater Boston
"Chilacates' Boston takeover isn’t slowing down anytime soon: the fast-casual chainlet, known for its tacos, burritos, and tortas, has opened another outpost in South Boston." - Erika Adams
Stopped in to try the quesabirria that I’ve seen others post reviews of and can add that it’s just as good as it looks. The meat is super soft, crunchy outside and the broth to dip is fantastic. Definitely will be back to try other menu items.

I ordered a Birria Taco plate and it is a make your own Taco kit. The reason and expectation when people order Birria tacos is to get melted gooey cheese on the taco shell. This is my last time ordering chilacates. Why would you sell Birria tacos that are not complete. There is no mention of this when you place the other.

I was happy with my pork quesadillas. It was already pre-cut to small pieces and came with some veggies, sour cream, and guacamole. The restaurant also has illustrated food pictures that look exactly the same as the real food.

One of the go to Mexican restaurants in South Boston. We ordered Chicken Tinga bowl, Grilled chicken bowl, Veggie bowl and Churros and all items were good. Chocolate Churros was great though.

On Thursday I came here for the Birria Tacos and they were great. The only thing that seemed strange to me was that the birria was on the side instead of on the tacos. After I finished I asked why that was and it's what I suspected (white people complaining and making things bland instead of leaving them be).
Today (Sunday) I came in during the evening to have the other meal I couldn't decide between on my 1st visit ... Chilaquiles. At first they were telling me that it is only served for breakfast (which I was ok with and was going to pick another item) but as soon as one guy said it another said they can actually make that for me. It was so great (I added steak when they asked if I wanted meat too). The guy that cooked it said, "It was made with love" 😋
I'm on the last day of my business trip which brought me to Boston for the 1st time and this is the only place I came back to eat at. I highly recommend it. Now if I can only figure out a way to transport them to Milwaukee, WI 😄

I had the quesabirria...it was SO good I could have had another one, even though I was already pretty full. Priced right at $18 for such pleasure to my taste buds.
In regards of other people's reviews: do listen to the positive ones. I'm in Boston often for business, and I can't wait to try other items from the menu on my next visit.

I enjoyed some delicious birria tacos. I like the fact that it wasn’t salty but made just right. The staff are friendly. The restaurant is nice, clean, vibrant with beautiful, colorful artwork, and great music.
