Service is terrible and the cashiers are always extremely rude and cut you off while speaking, but this is offset by the INCREDIBLE food; hands down the best tacos in Boston next to Yellow Door. Yellow Door is a better atmosphere and experience, in my opinion, especially for a night out. The tamales here at Chilacates are great as well. Definitely worth the visit!

Got the taco salad, my guest got the burrito bowl. We both agreed the food was a lot but just okay. There was a piece of sliced plastic in my salad. Indoors was very loud from cooking and fan noise, but we sat outside on the patio and it was nice.

Had a fantastic carne asada burrito here. Got it with extra meat and it was a really decent size. The meat is very good quality and it’s tasty without being greasy. Liked it so much I went to the one in Newton too.

Great service! Ordered on toast and it was ready. Knocking one star on food just because my meal was SO SALTY. Plus I paid for an add-on and didn’t get it. Perhaps just an off day!

Idk if this was recent but the prices got hiked up MASSIVELY. A carne asada quesadilla went from $13 to almost $20 now? We ordered here 1-2x a week and now our business will go elsewhere.

Could be better. The quality of food is good, but $15 for a rice and beans burrito is expensive. Barely a trace of chicken or guacamole. They charge $3.99 for chips only too.

Delicious burritos, my favorite place in Boston. Very well constructed and always amazing. Don’t forget the hot sauce!

One of the best, if not the best, torta de pollo. The bread is so delicious and the pico de gallo so fresh it added an incredible amount of flavor. Will be getting this again!

I went on a Friday around lunch time and it was not that busy wait time was about 5 minutes I ordered two tostadas and two elotes also ordered churros and let me just say everything was perfection and fresh I enjoyed the elote the most and I will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. I also got a agua Fresca and it was also very refreshing ☺ I definitely recommend and the prices are ok not to expensive

The young cashier is such a despot. Rushing me to take the order even tho nobody was there. Her tone, rolling her eyes, and her way of handling the food was just so out of hand. Extremely disrespectful. If she doesn’t want to work in customer service I can understand but it still doesn’t justify her way of treating customers. Big NO. It took my appetite away. The food was okay overall.
