    I’ve been here so many times and it’s always across the board a 10/10 Food last night, 10/10 with the exception of seriously overcooked and close to inedible French fries. Oddly, service was off. Incredibly slow, 2 full hours before entrees arrived. Waiter continually disappearing, was way preoccupied chatting it up with hostess desk, friends or downstairs. Finally had to ask the bar tender to close out our check. Very unusual for this place. Still our fave.

    What do lead with?? Server Freddy (from NW Mexico) made us feel like we were in his kitchen with his mom cooking. Owner Eric picked up on my SLIGHT eye cue and came right over to make sure we were really enjoying ourselves in his restaurant. And the food: Best nachos we have ever eaten. And tacos. We've got to go back to comment on more food items. THANK YOU for making us so happy and providing a level of hospitality that many places in Boston do not understand.
