Can't go wrong with burritos the size of your forearm. El guapo burrito is really good, would definitely get it again but if you're expecting the plantains to be super sweet, don't.
A small neighbourhood joint that offers delicious Mexican fast food . Very popular but with efficient service , lines move fast. Try the pescados ! I enjoyed the carnitas torta too.
El Jefe burrito is to die for, plantains are incredible in a burrito , this place is so good, never go to Chipotle again
Next time you're at Fenway, stop by El Pelon to try the Northeast's best burrito . The popular El Guapo Burrito features fried sweet plantains that mix well with the savory grilled steak . Yum!
Best Burrito I've tried in Boston so far. Wouldn't say plantains are a burrito stAple but they taste great in El Guapo. the salsa has that uniquely fresh taste and service is great too
Don't skip the el guapo burrito : whoever thought to put fried plantains in a burrito is my hero. It's as amazing as it sounds.
Ask for the habanero hot sauce , then add it sparingly to the salsa , your tacos and anything else you want to burn your taste buds. So hot, so delicious.
Fish tacos may not be the cleanest choice but are out of this world- pickled cabbage+crispy fish+spicy mayo+squeezy lime = heaven
Tacos are bigger than you think. I got 3 but 2 probably enough. Carnitas were great. Carne Asada was tough, chewy & bland. Also, if you get chips & salsa , the salsa is thimble of pico , not salsa .
One of my favorite taquerias ! El burrito El guapo it's gorgeous. Very cheap good, and every 7 one free!!! Awesome place with terrace .
The El Guapo burrito with fried plantains is the way to go if you appreciate authentic Mexican flavors. The sweetness of the plantains is a great new dimension.
The El Guapo burrito is stuffed with sweet fried plantains , and the fish tacos are some of the best in the city .
The veggie burrito was superb! Load it up with their hot sauce and you're good to go!
Ask for the hot sauce ! Great outdoor seating . When thinking about burritos , come here: guacamole for no added price. Yum!
Try El Guapo!! They have a veggie option for it! You won't be disappointed... and don't forget to ask for their hot sauce !
The burritos are awesome! Cheap place and nice terrace for the summer nights.
Order two carnitas tacos and ask for habanero hot sauce (but use it sparingly).

A participant in the Burrito Bracket, El Pelon is by far the best Burrito in Boston .
El guapo was one of the best burritos I've ever had in my life. Big portioned too so come hungry
Get the El Guapo burrito here. If you don't, get lost! It's the only way to go.
Get the Pescado Tacos ! Made with cornmeal , spices, and Arbol chili mayo , you can't go wrong
Delicious burrito . Get the one with steak and fried plantains !
Get the fish tacos ! I love the pickled vegetables on top. Def worth the price.
The "El Guapo" burrito place is a strong choice. Is the first time I've seen fried plantains in a burrito and it's a game-changer.
Amazing food with really good prices. A great small Mexican place . Prefer it over chipotle to be honest
El guapo with chicken - you’ll never want a burrito without plantains again!
Caramelo and Pescado tacos + Plantains w/ fire roasted salsa !! Muy delicioso👍
Finally made it here. Taco pescado best ever. Taquitos delightful. Pork enchilada was crazy: what was that vanilla-like whisper??

The Carnitas burrito is excellent, but to be honest, this is the best burrito in Boston regardless of your choice of filling.
burritos are awesome. they'll also make them into burrito bowls for when you want to feel more virtuous.
Special house tacos are great. Steak ones are a bit spicy but so good
Vegan options , including Daiya cheese and veg tamales .
Load up on their fish tacos made with crispy , spiced cod , arbol chile mayo , limed onions , pickled cabbage , and cucumbers . Read more
El Guapo burrito is good, authentic mexican flavor.

El Guapo is amazing! The food here is amazing. You get a huge burrito !
the carmelos tacos are the best! the burritos are also huge.
Excellent pescado burrito . Swap the mayo based chipotle sauce for hot sauce .
Pescado (fish ) burrito is the low key best thing on the menu.
Fantastic food - they have great quesadillas and Jarritos so you can't go wrong :)
El Guapo is not only tasty, but also not too hard to eat on the go
Best fish tacos around!! Make sure to squeeze the lime well . Their side of rice/beans is generous too.
The fish tacos are the best!
hidden gem . some of the best burritos in the city
add jalapeños to your meal. they give you deliciously crunchy, fresh, diced peppers , not that pickled crap that most places use.
Excellent tacos , and they even have jarritos!
Get the pescado tacos and plantains . The perfect meal.
Ah-mazing food and quick service . Best in the area!
