Taqueria el Barrio, Orfano, T&B Pizza, Restaurant Reviews | Eater Boston

"I visited Taqueria el Barrio, which opened a little over a month ago near Boston University, and found flavors of Sonora and a concise menu that starts with chips and salsa worth talking about hours after the meal. The salsa asada has a smoky, charred taste of roasted tomatoes and just the right amount of garlic — while the roja, verde, and macha are excellent — and I could eat the salsa asada by the tubful. The al pastor taco features melty pork, oozy pineapple, and soft corn tortillas, there's an impressive fried fish taco with light-as-air chipotle mayo, the chicken taco didn’t quite hit the mark for me, and the dulce de leche churro is a notable dessert." - Dana Hatic

"Mentioned among the Barlow complex operations affected by recent flooding, El Barrio taqueria faces damage to items it brought into the complex and the broader challenge that few tenants have flood insurance while the property’s own coverage does not extend to tenant possessions." - Caleb Pershan

Highlighted on Fort Worth Magazine’s Taco Trail, this Eastside spot serves Mexico City–style tacos—especially suadero—plus potent salsas and aguas frescas. It’s a low‑frills favorite where the tortilla and meat do the talking.
