“ i stopped by here for a late lunch and got 2 of the chorizo tacos Mexicanos as well as a pork and cheese pupusa. prior to ordering i got complimentary chips and salsa. i really liked the flavor of the salsa although it could have been spicier. the tacos were delicious and i added some of their hot sauce as well as a squeeze of lime. next was the pupusa. it came with a salsa and some lightly pickled veg. this was also very good and i really liked the crunch of the veggies with the savory pupusa. i had lived in Waltham for 3 years but this was the first time i had been here and now that i have moved i will have to stop by next time i am in the area. great service and delicious food. i only wish i had tried a drink. ”

Naturally I had to try their flan which was extraordinarily well done, perfectly smooth and creamy. All gluten-free. Service was friendly and natural. Definitely recommend! ”
“ Exactly what the doctor ordered looking for outdoor dining and a margarita on the first nice night of the season. We went with the quesadilla and wet burrito respectively and were not disappointed. Definitely ask for the bottle of house hot sauce to layer in as your palate allow, was very flavorful. ”
