So, I haven't tried this restaurant yet. I have no idea how good the food is, although reviews say the burritos are wonderful, the best in Boston (just don't order delivery).
But I have to mention, this isn't Mexican food.
1. Breakfast. No Huevos Rancheros here. You can get 2 eggs, a chicken tamale and a pupusa for $8.00 though. They have breakfast burritos too, with a choice of spinach, grilled veggies, mushrooms, and homefries (in addition to eggs and meat and guacamole). They also offer pancakes.
2. Desserts. They offer Baklava, Kadaif, Rice Pudding, and Kazandibi. What the heck is Kazandibi?
3. Main Dishes. Here's where we find out it's El Salvadorian food. The tamale's are made with carrots and potatoes. Humm. Someone online said they were very good. I'll have to try them, but could they at least think of a different name? They also have "pupusa" which comes with coleslaw and tomato sauce (the description says it's a pancake filled with pork or cheese).
They have some "Mexican food" like burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and fajitas, but they offer things like zucchini frittata and lentil soup. I really, *really* miss good New Mexican food.
My favorite dishes that I can't get around here? Stuffed sopapillas, chili rellenos, and breakfast burritos with green chili. While this restaurant may be tasty, it's not going to be a stand in for what I really want. Too bad. With the exception of breakfast burritos, these dishes are not exactly easy to make from scratch.
Seriously, why couldn't they just SAY that they're an El Salvadorian restaurant?
