"Food is usually quite good, but sometimes it's quite awful. I've found that at a lot of Mexican places; you get the same dish each time, and 1 out of every 10 times it's really bad. The main reason for the 2 star review is the way they treat call inorders. If you call them, you're not even a 2nd class citizen, you're a nobody. They let the phone ring for minutes at a timeand sometimes never pick up. When they do pick up, they put you on hold and then forget about you, literally. That is not anexaggeration. Whenever I call, I'm put on hold and forgotten about. Usually I can last about 5 minutes before giving up. Onetime I tested to see how long it would last. I was on hold for 8 minutes before the line went dead. I called back, and asked ifthey forgot someone was on the line. They admitted they did. This would of course be excusable if it didn't happen every time.It would also be excusable if there were a long line of customers in store waiting to be served, but that's not the case: theynever put you on mute so you know whether they're helping people or not. The time I was on hold for 8 minutes, after the onecustomer that I was put on hold for, there were no other customers the entire hold time. This has been the case most other timesas well. So, managers: get your staff together and train employees how to handle the phone line. I worked in food service forover a decade, so it's not like I don't have empathy, but if you want business then you need to take orders. And you can't takemy order, or anyone other callers' because the phone line is hung, when you leave me on hold and forget about me."

So far it's the best burrito spot I've found in JP. Really not a bad thing on the menu. Can sometimes be hard to get ahold of on the phone but worth it. View menu

The rest of my group thoroughly enjoyed the Mexican torta (similar to a burger) and the delicious tacos. The flavor and seasoning were perfectly executed.

I always ask for carne asada quesadilla, but last night I command a taco just to try it from papas con chorizo and I really liked it. there is no bathroom, but they can sit down when they want to eat there, do not definitiw an ideal place for a date or stay.

My burrito was delicious, well rolled, well made. Deserves a 5 star rating despite a few setbacks. $17 is pretty pricey for a burrito with no sides, and the sauce comes in a tiny thimble. The flavor of the sauce, the skill of the burrito, and the perfectly cooked carnitas make up for its faults. If you're in the area and looking for something to grab and go, Chilacates is worth it if you have a little extra money in your pocket. View menu

It's hard to find great burritos in the new England area. I heard about this place from a list of best burritos in every state. I ordered a burrito and opted for the buffet size and got guacamole as well. The guacamole is definitely worth it. Every component of the burrito was delicious from the rice to the tortilla. I'll definitely be going back at some point when I'm in Boston and i highly recommend this restaurant for their burritos.

The food is great, especially the enchiladas. You get a lot of food, too, which is nice. I wish they'd sell gift cards (I wanted to buy some during the quarantine but nobody ever got back to me). If you make text/mobile orders I've found sometimes it doesn't go through so I've had to wait 20 minutes upon arrival for them to make it then. But as far as Mexican food goes, I haven't found any better place in my travels throughout the city or elsewhere. I wish we had one where I live now.
