David B: Quesadillas are amazing! Al pastor and chorizo are delicious. Cheaper than Chipotle. Queso dip is the best! New location is much larger and looks great.
Djaniella D.: Super spacious, three-floor Mexican Taqueria! Carnitas are delicious! Save room for chips & queso, and grab a passion fruit Agua Fresca to drink!
Reena: Frozen margaritas, burrito and nachos with that queso dip - allllll good!

Faith Whalen: To all you whiny punks about the nachos... Get the Queso it's awesome!
Zac Chance: Solid tex-mex in a city where it is hard to find. Prices are surprisingly affordable for being in Harvard Square. Recommend chicken quesadilla, chicken bandera, and queso.
Herb Adis: NO NACHOS: Alright, so to clear something up, they do not serve a plate of nachos. They only have chips and queso. If you are expecting a mound of nachos and toppings, not gonna happen.
Sahil Kathawala: Ean recommends getting the special of the day. Really enjoyed my steak bomb sub. Was the bomb.
Elias Tapley: The goat: succulent, falling off the bone, with salty plantains (instead of salad) on the side.
Piqui Berrios: El primo caray se me fue de vacaciones. Really good home cooked style food from el primo Izzy who is everybody's cousin (primo).

Matthew Spector: Outstanding addition to Central Square. Get the monkfish biryani and the little gems salad. Clam toast and the tuna tartare are stellar.
Max: Really great fusion tapas. The raw bar has some rare items and there is a Portugal vibe throughout the menu.
Sofia Papastamelos: If you like small plates and different cuisines this is a great place for you. Always pretty crowded and food is great. Plates will sometimes rotate depending on the season.

Jenny S: I joined the Santa brunch with Christmas jazz music in the background. It was nice! I rec the rib grilled cheese sandwich. Bread is soft & portion is big. Make a reservation cuz it gets busy
emma tangoren: from the owners of the beehive in the south end, described as a "subterranean restaurant-bar-nightclub"
Jake Smith: If you're planning on eating, arrive early or plan on waiting a while for a table (or eating at the crowded bar). Try one of the ingeniously developed cocktails, like the Purple Door.
