Pato is awesome

by overeater8

I could eat the duck tacos forever. The drinks are expensive but they're equally awesome. I come here w/ my wife before games or nice summer nights. Eat great food have a few frozen drinks and bill isn't huge. I love this place.

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: can be crowded when Sox in town, not always open

Tacos

by joe1343

I will never turn down a La Verdad taco.

I am originally from California and good mexican food is severely lacking in Boston. For some reason, corn tortillas are not that popular here. Sadness. Then La Verdad came around and changed everything.

The corn tortillas in all of the tacos here are made fresh and are awesome. I order a side order of them and eat them with the guacamole, which is equally as good. The shrimp tacos are covered in "governor's sauce" which should probably just read "delicious sauce." Beef tacos and carnitas are great. The only issue I have with this place is that the fish tacos are not as good. The fish breaded and deep fried, and I prefer grilled fish in my tacos - I'm not exactly sure what style is "authentic" but i've only ever had grilled fish for fish tacos in san diego and mexico.

Oh yeah, the house margarita (la verdad margarita) is the BEST margarita in Boston. They make their own sour mix, which is key.

• Pros: Great food made me miss home
• Cons: Fish taco

Fish tacooooooooooooosssssssssssssssss

FISHTACOFISHTACOFISHTACO. I freaking love fish tacos and I'm proud to say it. I thought I would find no equal to fish tacos I'd had in California, and then I was introduced to La Verdad. Sweet little handmade tortillas, flaky perfectly battered fish, some shredded cabbage and 3 sauces-avocado puree, chipotle mayo and crema which expode in a tangy ooze outa the sides of the taco and down your face. But who cares, you've found nirvana. The corn is perfect, chargrilled with chili powder, cheese mayo and lime. The watermelon agua fresca seemed to have a little added sugar, but was delicious nonetheless. I can't wait to go to the restaurant, which was closed when we were there, as it has the kitschy cavernous look of a Southern California mexican restaurant, with colorful light fixtures and wrestling masks and generally an ambiance as larger than life as the food.

• Pros: great fish tacos
• Cons: parking
