The enjoyably chaotic atmosphere is the closest you might be able come to a classic Mexican taqueria - loud music, cramped environment (just 10 seats), high energy and quick, good food. Pupusas ($1.50), Tacos ($1.50 ea), Chicken Platter ($8.50), or the Mountain Man Platter - the most expensive item on the menu ($10.50) reserved for the only most macho among us. Recently featured as one of the best tacos in Boston by the Boston Globe: "The carne asada taco starts as a double layer of soft, warm corn tortillas stuff ed with the best part of a grilled steak - the smoky, salty crust. The lightly charred meat is incredibly moist and comes adorned with the bare minimum of toppings: a spoonful of fresh onions, cilantro, and tomato sauce"

There's not much in the immediate area along the lines of small sit-down restaurants. I wouldn't say it's worth making a special trip for this cafe-style joint, but it's a decent place and they don't mind if you bring the kids. Reasonable prices, good food, and busy on the weekends. Beer and wine available.
