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"

Serving baked goods and lunch items, such as pupusas, tacos, arroz, sopas, meriendas, and more.

This isn't a pretty place, but is definitely right in line with Eastie sensibility - no frills. Just a tiny one-room restaurant. Great quality tacos for about $1.50 each, and they'll make the soft corn tortillas while you wait. Huevos ($4.50 - $6), burritos) ($4 - $6), pupusas ($1.75 each), carne asada and more. Located right at the Maverick T stop. Bonus: Guatemalan beer.

This place feels more like you're sitting at someone's eat-in kitchen. Very cozy little spot with a short menu, but interesting due to the addition of chocolate on half of it. Columbian breakfast with egg, corn cake and chocolate ($7). Or Beef with corn cake and chocolate ($7). The corn cakes are small, round, yellow, hand-formed, and look like they've been cooked cowboy-style. They also serve pot roast, sausage, steak and chicken.
