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 😄

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.

Hey guys, love the food. My partner and I always order it. Never had a bad meal. One thing though - why is the taco plate so wet? Every time we order it, the bag is legitimately dripping. Can you please start to drain your black beans? Hope this helps

Good burritos and have always been ready when I pick up. A little expensive imo for a burrito but hey, it’s southie, what do you expect? Anyways. Good eats, would recommend.

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.

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.

First time in and I will definitely be back! The food was delicious and the staff was so nice. They are a local family owned business which I love to support. 10/10 experience

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.
