    Unquestionably the best tacos in Boston and some of the best I've ever had. Beantown Tacos with pollo tinga are incredible.

    Tacos, enchiladas, burritos really anything. They have an authentic and Tex mex menu, great and spicy salsas if you want them

    The veggie quesadillas are to die for!! So good and so cheap. Adding rice, beans, and chips was only 1.50 more!!

    Not the best tacos. They don't put as much meat as you'd expect. The taco bowls on the other hand, can't go wrong there.

    Double billed my credit card and wouldn't believe me when I reported it to them (before formally disputing the transaction). Not cool.

    Really gross. Got the nachos and I think I had less soggy / more flavorful nachos in my high school cafeteria. 1/5 stars

    If you don't like sour cream on your burrito, I suggest you eat somewhere else. If you ask for NO sour cream they will just put it on anyway!!! So terrible!!

    Don't go here! Service is bad. Chicken tacos were tasteless (and I ordered the spicy ones!). Burrito was soggy and falling apart.
