Delicious food! I had the burrito it is massive and very delicious and fresh! The staff is always very nice and make everything very quick! I would recommend getting the chips and salsa also! Although everything I’ve had is very good and worth the price!Recommended dishesTacos, Salsa
Went here for lunch during the week and highly recommend for quick and good quality food. I ordered the carnitas burrito and have to say that it was one of the best I have had in the local area. I like how the outside of the burrito is toasted and melts the cheese on the inside.
EDIT: In response to the restaurants reply to my original post, it is very unprofessional to blatantly accuse me of lying. Not sure exactly who it was we spoke to but whoever the individual was had to have been in some sort of management position as she was sitting at the desk in the front and was providing direction to other staff members. Clearly whoever responded remembered us since they mentioned that not all of us spoke fluent Spanish. Coming from a predominantly Mexican community we love to support any small buisness and restaurants whenever we can. My review was not intended to hurt the small business but sometimes it is important to inform others of the truth. Your comment goes to show the quality of service we received. I hope you all strive to improve this rather than continue to attack reviewers. My family and I were visiting Boston and decided to stop by this place for a quick burrito. My sister and I got a burrito to split so we asked for a knife. The owner got upset with us and lectured us for 10 mins about how that is disrespectful to her food. She said the “juices” would run out of the burrito. My sister and I decided that it wasn’t worth it and went back to our apartment and cut it. When I tell you this was the DRIEST burrito ever it didn’t even fall apart. I gave two stars because the burrito was pretty good but the owner was very hostile. Didn’t know asking to cut a burrito in half was such an issue. Based off of the reviews it shows that the owner is not trying to be less aggressive. Next time we visit we will not be returning to this restaurant nor recommending it.
Authentic, delicious, and filling. This is a great spot for a quick bite. The burrito is awesome.Food: 5/5
Very average food. The quac isn't very good, but the burrito as a whole was pretty decent. My wife had the fajitas edit: she had tamales as she wasn't a fan. It tasted dry. The atmosphere is cool and the service is quick, but blunt. It was a VERY average joint.
We are visiting from Miami. We saw a show on TV that said this restaurant serves great Authentic Mexican food. When we arrived we noticed this was not a restaurant. This is a to go place. The staff was very unfriendly and unhelpful. We ordered three burritos. They were all made with Carnitas. The meat did not taste like carnitas or any other meat that I am familiar with. It was also did not seem fresh and the ingredients did not have the consistency and the quality of what an authentic Mexican food has. We noticed the food was bad from the first bite we took out of our burrito. We stopped eating at that point. Both bottled sodas we ordered were flat and the service was terrible. When we approached by one of the servers, I quietly asked her to please ask her boss for a refund Because the food was not satisfactory.. The owner came out and started yelling at us In front of everyone “if you are not a chef you have no opinion, get the hell out of my store I don’t need your business.” All she needed to do was give me a refund and move on with her day in a professional manner. The owner acted very aggressively. I wonder how the staff is treated if this is how she reacts just based on one simple incident. The owner went completely crazy. At the end as we walked out, she flipped her middle finger at my friend. The only reason why am writing this incident is because she told me not to write it. This business owner needs to learn how to be professional and sell quality food. The food should speak for itself.
On May 4th, in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, two friends and I went to Villa Mexico for lunch. It was my first time there. It was *awesome*. The staff, particularly Momma King's daughter, were visibly stressed; I imagine that this is a *particularly busy* day for them, and the daughter was atypically snapping at the staff and customers. I just stayed out of the way and enjoyed the show. When I made eye contact with some of the cooks, we'd just grin. We arrived at about 11:45, beating most of the rush, although there were about eight people waiting for their orders. One friend ordered a burrito bowl w/o rice, the other a burrito, and I ordered two tacos - the Tinga shredded chicken in a smokey red chile sauce and the Campechano a combination of meats, probably beef and pork. The burrito took the most time to prepare, so plan accordingly. The burrito bowl was up the quickest, followed by my tacos. We all enjoyed our meals. I thought the tacos were *excellent*. Full of fresh ingredients and flavor. I liked them even more because they are $3.99 each on Fridays, instead of $5.99 like every other day. Oh, and as the other reviewers have noted, Momma King is the best. She was warm and welcoming, joyful, genuine, and dear. Please don't let the start of my review prevent you from trying this place - everyone has tough days. Go for the food and to say "hi" to Momma King.
I tried the carnitas burrito, it was delicious and had a slight citrus flavor which was different. Also they grill the burritos which makes them even tastier!
The chorizo is not real Mexican chorizo, the salsa is not even spicy, carnitas don't taste like carnitas, flavorless guacamole. Sorry to say this, but not real Mexican food and I am Mexican.
The tacos were good but not $5 per taco good. Maybe I'm spoiled by Providence prices but was definitely shocked to pay twice the price for less.Food: 4/5
