Burritos and Tacos To Go

this place is right next to a sign inside the T. I don’t know why it’s so crowded there but yea
Also I didn’t feel like the food was great. I was expecting a little more authentic mexican food than something I can whip up at home.
I got the green chicken spicy burrito and there was no flavor in the chicken. I also got chips for like $ 2 and then salsa for $ 2. For that price I’d much rather have a burrito from Chipotle!
The salsa was below subpar and needed salt. I put some in it after getting home and it was much better. If you can’t even salt your salsa right that must be saying something.
The burrito had cheese, lettuce, black beans, and chicken. It was kind of tasteless.
Overall I’m pretty disappointed honestly for a mexican food stand that I expected to be much better!

I really use to like this place but their food has recently taken a nose dive in my book.
–the stand attendants put as little vegetables/​sour cream/​guac and toppings on as possible. I don’t know if they don’t like prepping or just stingy.
–meat is prepared with a healthy dose of salt.
skip this place and go to a food truck. I can’t imagine this 4 start rating reflects their recent food.

By far the best burrito I have ever had! Not only is the cart pristine and the customer service outstanding… the freshness of every ingredient is above all! Their hot sauce is divine… hot…but lingers only long enough until you start dreaming of your next visit.

Not that great as everyone says, but ok for station food.
I went at noon and waited in a long line. Since everyone seems to like it I thought it would be worth it. The line moved quickly. I ordered a small burrito with guacamole (the guy barely put any on and it was an extra .74 cents). I made my way to the register and the total was $ 7.60. Too expensive for a small burrito in my opinion. Anyway, the people who worked at the cart were very friendly.
I was excited to eat my burrito but wasn’t impressed when I took the first bite, it was very dry. Not sure if it was the tortilla or the chicken? Besides the dryness, it was not bad. I wish I got more guacamole, it tasted delicious.
Probably wouldn’t go back. Too expensive. I’d rather go to Chipotle for double the size burrito and same price.

Fast service, convenient if you work near back bay or take the orange line towards back bay. The only issue is it’s in the station, which for some might take some getting used to. You can easily have a $ 5 lunch here and be full. I recommend the steak /​chicken burrito small. It’s more like a medium and has these options: beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, cheese and hot sauce. You do have to pay for the cheese /​sour cream /​guacamole. So you can actually get a burrito for less than five dollars without the cheese. Tacos /​quesadillas are also available. The owner, I think, is nice and his helpers are always fast and nice. I would go here every time if I was in the back bay area.

This place is a solid four stars. Here’s why:
1 star: Quick, fast, convenient food. The line moves quickly.
2 stars: The team that runs this burrito cart are friendly, positive, nice people. If you become a regular customer, they’ll treat you right. (Tip them nicely too).
3 stars: The grande burrito is filling without being overwhelming.
4 stars: The flavors are consistent and delicious.
I eat here 1−3x a week, depending on my travel schedule and mood. The place isn’t amazing or a world class burrito stand, but it deserves respect for providing hot, good food consistently, at a great price, with a smile.

OK, forget Boloco, these guys make a great Burrito – don’t know how anyone can call this «the best» because it’s not. But it is very good. Unlike Boloco whose quality varies wildly, these guys make their Burritos very consistently with everything measured out with a scoop. I once had a Boloco burrito that was more like a rice burrito. But I digress. The grande burrito is a decent size for lunch. Not bad for $ 5. I had everything in there except sour crème and guac. The hot sauce is not what I would call strong but gives a mild kick. Everything thing seemed well proportioned: the meat, the rice, the beans and the salsa. My preference would be for more salsa though and I do like the rice less seasoned. The steak is excellent and well seasoned. All and all, a cheap and good meal that is made fast.

I love Burritos and Tacos to go.
Just wish they were in New York too!
I always get them when I am in Boston.
Kisses!

Burritos and tacos to go is delicious.

I can’t give these guys more than three stars, because that would mean they’re as good as Ana’s or Chipotle in my book and they’re just not.
HOWEVER, for what they are — which is small burrito and taco cart inside of a train station — they perform. The men running the stand are super friendly and super fast — star there.
The stand itself always looks clean and the ingredients, fresh. Never got food poisoning. Another star.
And of course, the burrito. It is not horrible — probably still better than a lot of options outside any major city, so I can’t be too hard on them here.
What I’d like to critique are the beans — always so dry and pasty! They make me smack my mouth together to try and get some saliva going. So, I eventually caught on and started ordering sans beans. And the salsa — such an important part of the burrito — and they definitely fall flat here, for both taste and texture. I expected a lot more from an independent burrito stand — the small places are usually the ones with the best salsa, c’mon guys! And lastly, the chicken — it’s flavored well, great — but it’s cut too large and so you take a single bite and next thing you know, you’re pulling half a chicken out of your tiny burrito with your teeth. Slice/​pull the chicken into smaller pieces — will be infinitely better!
The guac is always great. Rice, standard. And the cheese and tortilla are actually my favorite part of the burritos here. Super tasty and the way they melt their cheese onto the tortilla somehow creates a magical and perfect union.
All in all, great as a work-​time or commuting staple.
Fed me many a busy, tired day and for that, I am thankful. (Third star.)

This place is such a breath of fresh air compared to the other Copley «chain» standbys. I could care less about the Back Bay Station pidgeons flying around (It’s a cart in a train station, c’mon). The price is right, too!
The lady and gentlemen that run the cart are super friendly and efficient (the line moves pretty fast).
I think I’m one of the only people that orders tacos, everyone seems to get the burritos (if you haven’t done the tacos yet, you are missing out!!). Like every Californian on Boston Unilocal,I was hoping for the tacos to be pretty close to what I can get in SoCal: delicate duo of corn tortillas, perfect fresh salsa, meat with just the right amout of flavorful grease, lettuce and tomatoes, a pinch of white crumbled cheese, cilantro notes, maybe a paper thin slice of fresh radish to cut the heaviness of the fat. (I’m not intending to school people who haven’t tried the Californian style Mexican food, just explaining my expectation given where I grew up).
But these Right-​Coast tacos are slightly different, and not in a bad way.
The salsa has some smokey notes in it, the lettuce always crisp, and they add just the right amount of onions. The chicken has been a bit bland on a few visits, but the beef and carnitas are very flavorful (beef can be overdone/​tough and have a bit of gristle sometimes). Also, they really pack on the meat, which is awesome if you don’t mind the taco falling apart.
One thing that got me was the addition cheese as an option. I expected the usual crumbled white cheese, but instead they use a shredded white (jack?) cheese. There was so much that the taco was a huge, overstuffed corn tortilla quesadilla, but was yummy nevertheless.
All in all, a good way to get my taco fix during the workweek.

I have so much love for this place. I order the same thing every time I stop there: basic bean and rice burrito with no extras. It’s just the right size for dinner, and just the right amount of spicy. The guys are extremely friendly, and they work fast: perfect when you’re running for a train.

Wow! Not just a taco stand in back bay station. Mexico has a true ambassador of the taco here! Pork burrito is amazing. Chicken taco is outstanding. This is the real deal! Go! don’t hesitate.

While I think the burrito itself is more okay than grande, I’m giving it four stars because the food is fresh and well-​assembled, the price is right, and the gents who run the cart are friendly.
Note: I’ve only had the veggie burrito so far. Guy in line in front of me said the steak is awesome, but as a vegetarian, I have to just take his word for that …

This cart just inside Back Bay station makes the city’s best burritos. The meats and beans are salty and flavorful, the salsa and guacamole fresh and delicious and the burritos well assembled. What’s more, the guys are friendly and the grande burrito is only $ 5.30. Ask for the piquant jalapenos at no extra charge.

This is my favorite Back Bay lunch spot.
Surprisingly delicious and affordable! I don’t know how they managed to make such tasty burritos that don’t have the lingering effects of most train station food carts. I go here at least once a week for a veggie burrito with my team from work. Between the team, we’ve sampled everything and have yet to have a bad meal.
Highly recommended! Make sure you get there early or you’ll have to wait in the long line of Burrito and Tacos To Go enthusiasts.

If you can get past the fact that you’re eating a burrito from a cart in a high traffic subway/​train station with pigeons wandering around, you’re in for a treat!
In all seriousness though, these guys are pretty strict about cleanliness and protocol. I’ve tried to show up a few minutes before noon (they can have huge lines… they move quickly but at heart I am a fat man who wants to eat lunch at 10:30) when they are still setting up and they make me wait until the meat has reached a certain temperature before they start serving. The cart is also immaculate. Admittedly, much cleaner than the kitchen in any apartment I have ever lived in :(
These burrito’s are pretty good though. Everything tastes fresh and for five bucks, it’s a really delicious quick lunch that’s pretty difficult to beat. I also agree with the other comments about the friendliness of the servers… Try them out, you won’t be disappointed!

I grabbed a steak and cheese quesadilla here once when I was starving and in a hurry.
I didn’t expect much but OMG, it was so good! The steak is nicely seasoned and the cheese was nice and melty and gooey.
had to come back another day and get another one!
Nice guys working at te stand, too. Very fast service.

i have been bemoaning the lack of a decent burrito within walking distance since moving to the south end 2 years ago. no longer will i have to suffer choking down flavorless el triunfo, because i can just stop by burritos & tacos to go and get a delicious, filling burrito for only $ 3.75! sweet!
my fiancé approved of the pork filling — «like el pastor style, but with less lime and more cilantro.»
my rice & beans burrito was excellent and the hot sauce had just enough heat to be spicy but not overwhelming.
i’ll definitely be back!

Uhhhh, did these guys sift through the ashes of El Pelon for their burrito secrets? I just had the best burrito I’ve had all year.
You know when you’re at Boloco, and it takes 5 people to handle your order? And when it gets to the 2^nd or 3^rd person, you see them fucking it up, or using the wrong tortilla, etc? And then the assembly line stops, and they all huddle together and find out where things went wrong? And no matter which burrito you select, they all taste the same? :(
This was 10x better than anything I’ve had at Boloco.
3 guys. 1 taco stand. $ 5. 2 minutes (with 2 people ahead of me). No stabbings or junkies while I waited.
They also make nachos, tacos, and quesadillas.
