Boston PhoenixBoston Phoenix: Awesome fish tacos: cubes of cod are fried in a spiced cornmeal batter and lightly dressed with chile-scented mayo instead of salsa. El Pelón nails the essential crisp, unoily fry job. Read more.

Kunal P.Kunal Patel: Amazing burritos. Get them with hot sauce and crema (sour cream) to make it even more savory

Boston.comBoston.com: This is the kind of big, big-flavored, low-priced food that makes El Pelon a natural in this college neighborhood. Victory is theirs, and ours. Read more.

Ramirez M.Ramirez Mari: Favorite lunch place! Service is excellent no matter how busy! Sandwiches turned into salads my fav! Sticky bun is soo good! Raspberry seltzer the best!

ToryBurchToryBurch: There’s only one thing you need to know: order the sticky sticky bun, a pastry so extraordinarily gooey that it had to repeat itself.

M3t47 G.M3t47 G34r: This was the best of the restaurants that I visited while in town. My recommendation: open up the meal with either rellenos de papa or tostones. For your entrée go for the Trifongo. Then, tres leches.

Michele S.Michele Steinberg: First time there last night for an early pre-theater dinner. Relaxed service, great mojitos and the food was unusual (for me) and delicious. Very reasonable prices for the quality and portions.

Kara K.Kara Kelley: The seafood paella is awesome

Rue La LaRue La La: Equal parts retro-industrial décor and Southern-comfort flair. Dishes are modern twists on our favorite bar classics and are all locally-sourced. Mac 'n' cheese fritters? Addicting.

BDCwireBDCwire: The folks at Local 149 serve up some serious brunch comfort food: chicken and waffles with warm maple syrup, nutmeg butter, and apricot jam. If that’s not exactly up your alley, try the French toast. Read more.

Boston.comBoston.com: Southie has its own version of the British gastropub with the opening of Local 149. A massive bar anchors the room, while banquettes and cafe tables make it comfortable for families. Read more.

Jake S.Jake Smith: Catfish sandwich and loaded mashed potatoes were great, as was the fried chicken. Wash it all down with a Lone Star, the national beer of Texas.

Tyler B.Tyler Brock: Go here. Eat everything.

EaterEater: Some dishes are Chinese, some Thai, some Vietnamese, and some a fantasy amalgam of various nationalities, but no one would dare call Myers+Chang Pan-Asian. [Eater 38 Member]
