  • Mexican

    Loaded Caramelos tacos, tender skirt steak with a generous dollop of guacamole, are the must-order at this longtime Boston taqueria, along with a burrito menu that has drawn praise from chefs outside the city. The Brighton location on Commonwealth Avenue keeps the tradition going.

  • Burritos

    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.
