Speedy and authentic. I just moved to Boston from Texas and thought there wouldn’t be Mexican food like back home, but (thankfully) this place proved me wrong! I got carne asada tacos that came on the double-corn tortillas, and I appreciate that all the toppings were included. Will definitely be back again!
