Nice owners, one of the only Mexican owned and operated taquerias in Eastie. Some of the dishes are only served on weekends, like the Birra (stewed beef marinated in a special red sauce fo $9) or the Pozole (soup with hominy and tender pork). Burritos go for around $6, Tacos for $1.75 each, Enchiladas ($9) and yummy Huevos for $7.

When you approach this from the street, it looks like a big fast food joint, but step inside and take a look around. Walk past the counter that's on your left and through a door, is an additional seating area that's just perfect, nothing like a fast food joint at all. Of course, if you want to grab and go that's all right. However, I wouldn't mind running some tunes on the jukebox and sitting for a comfortable and informal meal. This used to be the Clam Box (and Uncle Pete's before that), now this Salvadorean place is the local mainstay with pretty good pork and cheese pupusa (revueltas) with a nice crisp curtido and a basic thin tomatoey sauce. Tacos, plates, combos, breakfast and the immortal flan. Beer available, as well as delivery.

This restaurant is no bigger than your fist. They have 4 tables, which are typically covered in papergoods and waiting bags of hot food, so isn't really a sit-down kind of place. Most people coming through here are just stopping in to get their take out. They offer a couple of my favorites - Yu Shiang Beef ($9.25 large) and also Mongolian Beef ($9.50). You can choose food from a number of styles - Szechuan, Kung Bao, and surprisingly they even serve Pad Thai ($7.25).

Grab some award-winning pizza from this quaint little pizza shop. There isn't much seating except for some stools by window counters, but the friendly guys make you feel as though you're just hanging out in their kitchen. Treat your friends to the $14 large Shrimp Scampi pizza (always one of my favorites) or if you're flying solo, the Kabob Sub ($6). Delivering to all of the major hotels in the Logan International Airport area as well as the hungry locals.

Spanish-American fast food. Pick up some kabobs or cutlets, pupusas, or a typical Colombian dish served with meat and egg. Most of the items are in the $5 - $10 range. Empanadas are $1.25 each.

Excellent brazilian BBQ buffet menu that changes daily. The also have an a la carte menu, as well as a sandwich menu. Try the House Special - $9.50 - Carne de hamburguer, carne de frango, pernil, bacon, ovo, queijo, presunto, palmito, milho, alface, tomate, batata. Or maybe the Muqueca on Sunday (brazilian style fish stew with cilantro and tomato). Trilingual menu.
