"Okay, so Villa Mexico is technically a few blocks away from Downtown Crossing, but we’ll argue that it’s well worth the walk. Open for over 20 years, the restaurant gained a following for its hearty burritos and salsa negra made on the premises, which you can buy to take home. Get your burrito grilled, and a side of the black salsa to pour over it with each bite." - Tanya Edwards
"Villa Mexico founder Julie King has been running her lauded taqueria for over 20 years. While cooking out of a gas station years ago, King gained a following for gas station burritos and ink-hued salsa negra, which is available to take home by the jar. The grilled burritos, served for breakfast and lunch, are a must-order." - Erika Adams
"Villa Mexico Cafe, a popular burrito shop, has reopened with a limited menu featuring burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and beverages." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Bessie King, the cook and operator of Villa Mexico Cafe, expressed difficulties in procuring enough PPE for her staff, suggesting that a PPE supply bank for restaurateurs and essential workers would be incredibly helpful." - Terrence Doyle
"Julie King’s popular Mexican restaurant is a Boston stalwart. Villa Mexico Cafe is making some of the best burritos in the city — and some of the best mole too. Make sure to order the special black salsa. Order: (617) 957-0725" - Terrence Doyle
