Ive been here twice now and was impressed both times. So far, Ie had a variety of tacos, the menudo, and now a few margaritas. Everythings been top notch. The margaritas are strong, balanced, and cheap. The tacos have really flavorful garnishes and are some of the best Ive had outside of mexico. Its nice in the summer because the windows open up onto the street and although, it being Brighton, theres not a lot going on outside, its just nice to have that breeze and outdoor quality. Overall, its affordable, charming, and tasty.

Been here twice, first time was awesome. The second time I didnt really get all the other ingredients I was suppose to in the burrito but it was a huge one, larger than the first time and still good quality ingredients. I will go back, but hopefully they give the guac and other ingredients next time as I like how those flavors interplay. Been back and have to lower them from the 5 stars previously given. Still only got the burrito, but I just dont feel it was assembled well and I think the rice was old.

Inexpensive small Mexican sit down shop Very similar to El Centro (same owner), but smaller and somewhat less expensive. This is a very small store, maybe 12-15 tables. The mole sauce on the enchiladas was very good. The guacamole appetizer portion was smallish for the price ($7) and probably not worth it. The margaritas were good. Service was a tad on the slow side. Worth it if youre in the neighborhood, but not for a special trip.

Food was good. I had the Mexican hot dog which is rare to find and it okay but I give then props for simply having it in their menu. Service was okay. It took them a long time jus5 to get us water even though the place is small. If it werent for that Id give them a 5.

They had a wide variety of food and since we went as a group we got to try a lot of what they had to offer. Honestly, all of it was great! Ill definitely go back. They had great service too, they let a large group of us all pay separately (which can be a hassle).

Michelada & Spicy Margarita were excellent. Food was very good and visually appealing especially for the price. Decor very nice, sort of wondering why it took 3.5 years of living in Allston to make it out here.

So glad I live near this place. The food is authentic a la Mexico City cuisine, and delicious. Yummy margaritas and a funky dia de los muertos mural. Good for brunch and lunch!

Food is incredible, prices are very reasonable, interior is full of art. The bathroom especially has amazing art. I love this place and come at least once every few months.

Some of the best Mexican Ive had in Boston, amazing enchiladas and quesadillas at a great price. We get food from La Catrina about once a week and are always satisfied.

Lovely Mexican taqueria. They give you nachos when you arrive and they serve delicious tacos and burritos. Try their micheladas and the spicy margarita

Small Mexican place with good food. Taco Tuesdays are great. I really like their carnitas. Margaritas are tasty, decent selection of Mexican beers.

Lovely hole-in-the-wall (quite literally). Its cute and cozy, and the nachos and drinks were delicious. Not usually busy which is great.

Tortas bread and churros are LEGIT! Im from Mexico and I can tell they are 100% authentic. Best in Boston.
