Tacqueria Montecristo

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! 1 star is too generous! The food is awful! I’m extremely disappointed! Who puts broccoli in fajitas? The tamales were so DISGUSTING that I spit it out in my napkin! I’m so outraged by the quality that I’m tempted to call the restaurant to ask them how they are still in business and why they would allow such horrible food available for sale!?! I’m so upset that I ordered from here so save yourself the frustration and order somewhere else. ANYWHERE ELSE!

This is the worst Salvadorian restaurant I have ever been to. My family had a party of twenty and did not order alcohol or anything that would bump up the bill, but the owner of the restaurant charged $ 900. They overcharged us and did not even serve us amicably. The food was DISGUSTING and the server did not want to even bring us drinks. This place is a piece of shit and will rob you for your money.

This place is not authentic nor Mexican. The food falls short freshly made, rather prepared earlier in the day and kept warm for consumption.
Tried it and for 52 for two not impressed.

My favorite place on the East Broadway Foodie crawl. They were serving… i’m not sure the name! Fried (?) tortilla (?) with veggies on top and home made sour cream. HOMEMADE SOUR CREAM??? YEAH.
I want to try more. So much more.

DON’T EVER COME HERE. I don’t care if you are starving and this place is the only restaurant opened. It is not worth it whatsoever. My friend and I ordered here through grubhub and got puspasas, enchiladas, and tortas.
They got our order wrong. Instead of enchiladas, we got hard shell tacos. Okay no big deal. People mess up orders occasionally.
Before I dug into my tortas, I found a thick, short piece of hair. My friend both have long hair. I was disgusted at first but I was okay big deal. People get hair on food occasionally. But THEN I found another piece of hair in my food while eating. By this time I was okay no more excuses for them! This is unacceptable!
My friend called the restaurant and told them what happened with the wrong order and hair. They blatantly told us THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH. Women! What are you talking about?! So we requested to talk to someone who knew how to speak English. She was nice at first but when we brought up the hair problem, she said I DONT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH. At this point, it was getting super shady and we were getting angry. They told us they will take care of it and asked if we wanted a refund. Before I could answer, they hung up on us. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
I called a second time and the guy who delivered my food picked up the phone. I told him what happened and he too said I DON’T UNDERSTAND. I’m not even exaggerating. So this time I was really strict and told him it was unacceptable and suddenly he understood what I was talking about. Okay how do you not understand English one second and understand it the next second? I don’t get it. He was like «ew that’s gross. I can’t believe what happened. That is so nasty». Yeah, no duh. DO SOMETHING ABOUT MAN and stop saying things we already know. After a while he told us he would call grubhub and give is back a refund. It’s been 3 days and I still have yet to get an email about my refund.
I spent $ 30 on below mediocre food. Not happy whatsoever. And not to mention, I got diahhrea from this place.

The food is really delicious. I truly recommend the Chicken Taquitos Dorados (Fried Rolled-​Up Tacos), sooooo delicious!!! The staff is friendly and they delivered my food in a timely manner. They have definitely WON me over as a new customer, while another competitor LOST me as a customer *cough, cough* MAYA SOL MEXICAN GRILL in Somerville!!! I think I’m gonna order from Taqueria Montecristo from now on! Best believe they will be getting more of my business.

Stopped in for a quick bite on cinqo de mayo. No liquor! Which makes it like every other eatery on broadway. in somerville :(
It’s a tiny taco shop w El Salvador maps all over. And Spanish speaking soap operas on the TV. We had a combinacion de tacos w beef, pollo, and pork. Traditional (like a street-​side vendor in Mexico) and quite tasty — all 3. Came with rice and beans, which were adequate. Quite a decent price. I’ll definitely be back to sample more of their food.

My friend recommended this restaurant to me .I was so excited to find a place where they sale pupusas! So we made the 50 mile trip. needless to say we where disappointed! The place was small, dirty, Horchata «drink» has floating stuff in it, the food was terrible :(.will never go here again!!! I dnt recommend it. save your money

I recently switched jobs, so Taqueria el Amigo isn’t close by any more. I definitely needed my taco fix, and it turned out that there was a fantastic Taqueria half a mile from me in Somerville. I had tried May Sol and Taco Loco (also nearby), and was disappointed. So I figured that Montecristo was in the same lot as them. Boy was I wrong!
Great, authentic tacos. You can’t go wrong.

If you’re looking for overpriced Americanized tex-​mex, yeah go across the street to maya sol. But if you want real mexican food and a good deal, this is the best place in Boston.

Delicious, hearty Salvadorean food at an affordable price! We over-​ordered and had chicken tamales (tender and flavorful), pupusas (fresh and delicious), a chicken torta (enormous, with awesome hot fries), a beef dish, and and shrimp dish. Everything was hot, prepared to order, and tasty. There’s no ambiance to speak of, but they deliver, and if you eat there you can catch up on your telenovelas. Give it a try!

Totally agree with Jamie S. Everything I’ve had here is tasty and they have very generous portions. My experience is with delivery and has been that they are quick and the food is delicious and hot when it gets to me. One downside there’s a little lady who answers the phone often that doesn’t speak ingles. She can get you someone who does, so no worries.
The also do breakfast which are also very delicious, gimormous, and quick to arrive when delivered.
PS same people run Montecristo on Huntington Ave in Mission Hill/​Brigham Circle. Equally awesome to this location.

Their fajitas and plantains are amazing — hit out of the park 2 foodie crawls in a row. I am SOLD — they will most definitely be getting my business again … this week!

Yummy Salvadorean food — great pupusas and tacos. Cheap,
dependable, delicious!
Yamahama, tasty stuff… used to live up the street from here and would zoom down Broadway, scoop up a bag o’ tacos and pupusas, snatch a 12 pack of Bud from the liquour store nearby and call it a Friday night.
Friendly staff. Cozy little restaurant, nice atmosphere.
Can’t believe nobody’s reviewed it until now!
