Mexican joint with more of a cafe environment. A lot of special plates under $13 with steak, chicken or seafood. Pupusas and Tacos are $1.75 each, and the Pizza Mexicana is $4.95.

Small, homey restaurant serving dinner plates ($7 - $13), burritos (around $6), tacos(3 for around $6.50), seafood, asada, pollo, tortas ($5), and huevos ($7). Delivery to East Boston and Lynn.

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"
