If you blink, you will miss this place, but it is has some of the best "real" fast food in Eastie. Everything is very well seasoned and tastes fresh. I love all the options for plates and the buffet. I feel like this place is always busy, but they move fast and I never wait too long. I personally like the buffet options and love getting a hearty plate.

I always ordered their steak burrito with everything. The meat is always very juicy and not chewy. Very tasty!

came here and asked the server how the salads were made, she told me: lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole. I asked for chicken and when I got the salad it was drenched in dressing. I asked for my salad to be remade and the server very rudely said "no, thats how it's made" and pointed to the picture on the board. The board doesn't show a salad much less has a description of what comes in it.

I've been going to this place for about 10 years and I have seen the prices change and I couldn't believe I spent almost $20 on a burrito but food's always good

Food portion is great here. A medium to go plate: White rice, beans, chicken wings $9.00 they also throw in a couple of tortillas for you. Good flavor, friendly quick service. Wings felt slightly salty, everything else on this plate was on point. If you're looking for a place on the go, this is a good spot to go to.

This is the best Mexican food I have tasted out East. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

I live down the street and legit eat breakfast lunch and dinner here… I can’t help it they’re the best of the best and they have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. I don’t eat meat however their meat dishes seem to be extremely popular and the restaurant is always packed with people getting a meal. The line moves fast and the food is fresh. They make literally everything from scratch and have great hospitality. Even if you’re not from east Boston this place is super easy to get to, right off the highway and outside of the Maverick T. I love it so much here and am so pleased to leave this review as I’m about to walk over there now and grab dinner!

Amazing food, amazing customer interaction! Definitely try the pupusas and the fried plantains; they are amazing!

This place I'd soooo good and the workers are very nice and fast wen they work which is very good for food place to move fast ad not leave costumers waiting for too long. My favorite thing there which I tried for the first time is beef rice omg so good so tender and the sause makes it might get me a plate today. Also those pink potato salad so good only problem is u should eat it soon cause if u leave it for to long it goes bad real bad. I use to love the empanadas but not anymore. This place is great if u spend money u won't feel like u waisted it at all...
