El Triunfo 147

No seats. Just a take out spot. The presentation isn’t pretty. But the flavor is there. It’s a pretty great taco place in the city. I’d come here again. I got the burrito bowl. I always appreciate when they do actual Mexican rice and not white rice!! Steak was great and a good cut. Guacamole was also great! I will say the pico de gallo is in huge chunks. Lazy chopping. Id also like to note multiple people recommended this place out of everywhere around.

The service is absolutely lovely and sweet! What a wonderful experience we had! The owners are very kind, accommodating and patient with all our questions and the food was amazing, served warm and fresh! We tried the kunefe, burritos, plates, their cookies and everything was perfect and flavorful! The cookies and desserts are so varied, some light and some more rich, our party all had different ones and we all agreed that it was very good! I really highly recommend this place, from the food to the service, it was all so perfect! I'll come back again, thank you so much :)

Got the enchiladas. They were very dry, very very little sauce and not nearly enough filling. The flavors were okay I guess but they just left a lot to be desired. A friend ordered the french fries as well and they were very bland and lacked any seasoning at all. A different friend had recommended the place based a good quesadilla they had there. Maybe try that if you’re going... But there’s definitely better Mexican food for the same price in the neighborhood over on shawmut ave.

I ordered a Tamale and a Pupusa at the restaurant, and I must say, both were absolutely delicious. Each bite of the Tamale was flavorful, packed with a savory filling that truly satisfied my hunger. The Pupusa was equally impressive, with its warm, cheesy center and the perfect amount of seasoning. The accompanying coleslaw added a refreshing crunch, and the salsa was tangy and vibrant, enhancing the overall experience of the meal. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and I would definitely come back for more delightful dishes in the future.

Halal Mexican/El Salvadorian food in Boston! Owners also have Ali Baba next door, confirmed halal verbally with the owner. Steak burrito is huge and pupusa was good :). Just be aware that this is mostly a to go place, no seating available.

Hot, fresh, Authentic. Save this one for sure

Disgusting! I ordered two ground beef hard shell tacos with guacamole. The shells were completely soggy. The food was cold, stale and dry. Never again.

We went to El Triunfo because it had decent reviews about their food, especially their pupusas! We wanted cheese and cheese with pork pupusas, but they only had cheese so we ordered 4 plus El Triunfo salad. It was not worth the $43 (beware, the online prices are not correct), the pupusas barely had any cheese, they were basically tortillas, super dry even with the cabbage salad and sauce. The Triunfo salad was also horrendous, the meat was dry with no flavor, the pico de gallo was old and so was the lettuce. The only good thing about the entire meal was the falafel. Never going back there again. They are open late, so I'm sure most folks giving this place 4 and 5 stars are looking for a late night meal while drunk.
