Taquería Jalisco

Taquería Jalisco on Bennington Street in East Boston is a place to come hungry for tacos, burritos and larger Mexican plates. Tacos arrive with onion and cilantro, with fillings ranging from carne asada and carnitas to lengua, fish and shrimp. The birria order comes with consommé for dipping, while tortas pack meat, beans, avocado and melted cheese into a toasted sandwich. There is more to the menu than handheld food: enchiladas, fajitas, soups and seafood offer plenty of reasons to sit down for a meal. Breakfast includes chilaquiles and eggs with chorizo. Add an agua fresca or bottled Mexican soda, and leave room for flan or tres leches if lunch has not already settled the matter.
