Emily O: Try the pickled carrots/jalapenos, bean tostada, & carnitas taco
BU Today: Some favorites from our review: Mexican street corn & carnitas pork tacos. Lone Star's extensive beer, mezcal & tequila menu make a great pairing with their authentic, house-made Mexican street food. Read more.

Maeve Daly: Such a cool bar, great atmosphere, tacos, and I love the presentation of the bill!

Chris Brook: Killer new taco spot in JP. Shrimp and grilled fish tacos cost an extra 99 cents but are completely worth it.
Cara Terez: SO so good. Really excited about this place opening up (it's about time, JP). I agree with the statement that paying extra for the grilled fish and the shrimp tacos are WELL worth it.
Kirs P: Best tacos I've had since Mexico City. Get the al pastor. It's perfection.

Jonathan Hyland: Teno'ch is a phenomenal restaurant. From taco to burrito, they do the classics with attention to taste and detail. Get the tamal when they have it! You can't go wrong with the fish taco.
Mike Frayne: Amazing Mexican food. Even Californians rave about it- the Chorizo taco is huge & so delicious. Yet to have anything "ok" here. Everything is fantastic
Matej Mavriček: Tortas are staple. I like the enchiladas verde, as well as the taco pescado.
Matt Volpi: Pescado burritos are the best in Boston since taco del mar left town. Soft tacos delish but fall apart too much.
Kevin Cuozzo: Fish tacos to die for! Freshest authentic Mexican this side of Guadalajara. . .
Boston Phoenix: Awesome fish tacos: cubes of cod are fried in a spiced cornmeal batter and lightly dressed with chile-scented mayo instead of salsa. El Pelón nails the essential crisp, unoily fry job. Read more.

Emilia Von Hertell: Best tacos ever, and burritos as big as your head. Enough for two meals, reheat beautifully. My go-to is the breakfast burrito with ham. Leave room for flan!
Steven Eaton: Legit tacos
Enrique: Authentic Mexican food!! Go for lengua or cabeza tacos, just as you get them in Mexico. Great "quesadillas", which are actually empanadas. Birria wasn't great though. Highly recommended.

Ally Peverly: Great Food / Great Margaritas / $10 Tacos on Monday
Papa S: Such a fun space!! Good/improving location. Had lunch... chix tacos are great. Pass on steak burrito... so HUGE & spicy. Pass on tequila Bloody Marys but go for any of the Margs. Overall great.
Alain Lubin: The service is decent and quick, however the seating inside is great. We tried to sit outside, no go there. The food is great. Went with the tacos, they were small yet delicious.
