    This is hands down my favorite Mexican place in Boston!

    It's a tiny hole in the wall so definitely recommend just taking it to go and enjoying at home.

    I always get the steak burrito with all of the fixings - absolutely huge!

    The steak is tender and juicy, the rice is well seasoned, and the cheese is gooey (guac is included)

    With the burrito you get a side of chips and salsa, all homemade!

    I've also tried the Al pastor and chicken, both great options as well

    Definitely check out this hidden treasure!

    Food is okay but the service is terrible.
    I ordered chicken tacos for pick up and they just decided to send pork tacos because they were out of chicken. No confirmation or call before changing the order nor was I let known when I went for pick up. I ordered through yelp and there is no order support either.
    The staff was pretty rude. Even if I had a pick up they made me wait on side until everyone else was served in the line even though my food was packed and right in front of the cashier.
    Not going back.

    I've tried pupusas from 3 other places and this one is hands down the best pupusas so far!

    Word of advice, come here if you're absolutely starving. Portions here are large and in charge. Whenever I visit, my GF and I split the special plates. At under $9, this has to be one of the cheapest dinners, taking into consideration the amount of food and variety. Hands down: If you do not like to save money, do not come here :)

    What else to know: They have an impressive array of menu items ranging from your typical burritos to some special plates not really seen in the neighborhood. In addition, I like their menu; it is not overwhelming and quite easy on the eyes. Just be aware there's not much options for vegetarians as there are plenty of meats in each plate. When you enter, you will see pictures of their dishes on the wall and straight ahead you will notice a hot table where you can order premade food. I have yet to order from there nor are there any mentions on the menu so I will have to find out the next time I drop by. Their Pupusa is pretty good, I highly recommend trying it.

    This will be my favorite Mexican place you can't go wrong with anything you order. Our today order came up to 32$ it was so easy to find if you really want real authentic Mexican food this the place. They are really popular when it comes to there papusa's.
