Chilacates Amory St · Jamaica Plain
Chilacates started as a single Jamaica Plain taqueria in 2015 before growing into a citywide favorite. The burritos are fresh and generously portioned, with a dozen protein choices including birria, grilled shrimp, and chorizo, plus a full range of house sauces and toppings piled on to order.
El Pelón Taqueria · Fenway
A Fenway area institution that has rebuilt more than once after fire, El Pelón's signature is the El Guapo, a hefty roll packed with carne asada, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. House guacamole and Mexican rice round out a menu built for regulars and game day crowds.
Maria's Taqueria · Theater District
A tiny hole in the wall near the Theater District open late daily, Maria's melts cheese directly onto steaming tortillas and fills them with fall apart carnitas and a tongue searing hot sauce. The oversized Grande burrito, loaded with everything, is the order regulars swear by.
El Triunfo 147 · South End
A South End counter turning out oversized grilled burritos with real char, plus tacos and Mexican and Salvadoran plates. The tortillas are stuffed with rice, beans, and a choice of proteins, then seared so the outside crisps. It runs takeout heavy and stays a reliable, cash friendly quick meal.
Anna's Taqueria · Brookline
A beloved local mini chain built on assembly line precision. Each tortilla is steamed individually, then loaded with measured fillings and rolled tight enough to hold together to the last bite. The Brookline original on Beacon Street is the flagship, and locals have their proteins memorized.
