Taco Mex - Yummy Tortas y Pupusas

The roommates with out-of-towners Vicki and Percy ate lunch today at Taco Mex, a Mexican/Latin American restaurant in East Boston's Maverick Square. I had a Pork Adabado Torta - slightly spicy and sour marinated pork.. mmm. The bread was oustanding as was the portion size for $4.75. The chicaronnes pupusa was also a winner. The burritos were reported standard but satisfying, and Thuy approved of the sweet plantains.

I was also happy to try the special drink of the day, atol de elote, beverage made from corn, milk, sugar and cinnamon (lika a corn version of horchata).

6 of us ate well under $50 with tip. The place seats groups of up to 4 comfortably. 5 0r 6 max can sit with the help of extra chairs.
