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).

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.

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.

Tiny little spot with a few tables. The people here sit around as though they've known each other forever, eating and chatting and throwing their arms across the back of their chairs the way they do at home. Quiet and cozy.

This place used to be the Pony Lounge and is now a little bar/dance club, take the time to sample every Columbian liquor in the place.

Friendly bakery with trays and trays of fresh breads. Their oven is always cranking out hot and piping bread. They also have pastries and cakes, as well as pizza.

This place is always hopping. They have good Sicilian style pizza and lots of fresh homemade food to bring home for dinner (the Eastie version of the TV dinner). Some of the dishes can microwave in 2-3 minutes, while others need the oven. Spinelli's provides cooking and reheating suggestions for these meals. Stuffed shell dinners start at $5.95, and the Veal Parmesan is $9.50. Their calzones (mostly priced at $17.25 on a tray) are made with fresh ricotta and will serve 12. They make fresh raviollis and fusilli that you can purchase. Also have good desserts and Italian pastries. Miniature pastries are $12.60/box and you can have your favorite photo scanned on a cake.
