Chilacates

Since opening its first location in Jamaica Plain nearly a decade ago, Mexican street-foods specialist Chilacates has added 10 more locations around Boston. Credit the success to consistent, convenient and oh-so-delicious tacos on homemade corn tortillas, hefty burritos, salads and more with a choice of toppings. Try the smoky chicken tinga or the pork simmered in chile verde. And don’t pass up the offer of tangy, house-made hot sauces on the side. The spice-resistant shouldn’t fear the mild green sauce, which is tasty on everything.
