The original El Jefe's Taqueria in the area was Harvard Square and is still the best. Food and service are great. I do miss the self-serve condiment station. The horchata and jamaica drinks are very satisfying. i usually get the bowl with pork or beef and add everything but the pink onions.

The Mexican Bowl with carnitas asada was THE BEST, the music was perfect and made feel like I was on vacation...not too loud, but just perfect! The ladies were very helpful!

Ordered a vegetarian burrito and it was pretty bland. Whatever you do DON’T add the pickled onions. I asked for my burrito to be cut in half and the person at the cashier threw both halves into the bag open-mouthed making a mess and spilling the contents. Literally no common sense was used. I really wanted to give them a good review since the kind man who made my burrito was working so hard but this whole experience was ridiculous.

This is my favorite Mexican spot in Boston. They have fresh Jalapenos, the same staff consistently for years now, and they treat anyone with respect. You can order a plate/bowl online and they WON'T skimp on your order if you aren't there looking. They are my favorite Mexican place cause the food though. I will get a bowl from these folks anytime I can. Did I mention they're open till 4-5AM?

Quick, affordable, and AUTHENTIC!! Im from California so Mexican food is a staple in my life haha. It's great to have such a fabulous option here in Boston. I had the chicken quesadilla and some of their home made chips and salsa, both were amazing :) Good location and great service!
