    Tucked in alleyway off Gloucester St., this small spot makes some serious mole sauce. If you don’t try it you’re a damn fool. A bit pricey and the portions aren’t big, but the food is great.

    Enter via the alley for delicious Mexican dishes served in a warren of cozy rooms that could be Frida Kahlo's. Make reservations because the beautiful people arrive early. Read more

    Try the Baked Cheese and Chorizo appetizer! While it is extremely delicious, I don't think it's worth $8. If it was a larger quantity, then absolutely. It is a must try, though!

    I am a regular at this wonderful restaurant. Literally everything here is awesome. Rule of thumb of a Mexican restaurant: if chips and salsa are great, main course is great

    The Picante Margarita is a little too spicy, but the food itself was delicious. Great portions as well for the early bird pre-fixe special.

    Order the romerita maragarita and the enchiladas poblanas...if you like mole you won't regret it. Guacamole is also one of the best in Boston!

    Welcomed like family. Felt like home. Mole sauce must be made from grandmother’s recipe. Place must be a favorite of the locals.

    Really delicious mole. Nice cocktails too. A bit pricey, but I dig it.

    Definitely on the pricey side, but it's partially the neighborhood. Early Bird special is a total deal. French vanilla ice cream with Kahlúa makes a great dessert.
