La Verdad (CLOSED)

Wonderfully shadowy, looking as if it might belong on the corner of some dusty Mexican plaza, Ken Oringer's taqueria nonetheless caters largely to Yanquis (though not, mind you, to Yankees - Fenway Park isn't even half a block away). But, like its siblings Uni and Toro, it's authentic unto itself. Lovingly crafted little tacos are the menu's mainstay, accompanied by all manner of salsas. Hot, fresh cotija-sprinkled tortilla chips with guacamole and elaborate tortas are memorable too - provided you manage to keep your tequila consumption in check, that is.
