Great food and great prices. The service is always very friendly. We're moving and we're really sad we won't be able to get the best papusas in Eastie anymore. I highly recommend this place.

Awesome place, we went there the day after the snowstorm and was opened and clean, to warm up we drank a hot cocoa. 08/10 We also ate a Burrito of Carne Asada and a Quesadilla Mix (pollo and carne) the food was outstanding and took a little time to come but was totally understandable because of the chef's effort. 09/10 At the end my husband got a nice espresso. We'll definitely go back there.
