Nicholas: Impeccable quality, new menu items often, huge patio, and the best service I've had in Boston -- super attentive staff! Surprisingly, I felt the value was excellent for the amount of tapas we ordered.
Enrico Manalo: Nice spot, though it does get busy. The patio closes fairly too, but hey, pretty decent jamon and croquetas.
Sirus Orndoff: Open late tapas wine and craft cocktails. Large inside with 2 patios. High energy.

Meredith Johnston: Charcuterie plate was so delicious, and loved the Parma pizza with an egg on top. Great spot to grab a table outside.

Erica Caso: Trendy, nice outdoor seating, amazing server, octopus salad, meatballs, mushrooms and last but not least the lobster pasta is a must!
JP Amolat: Great outdoor seating and friendly staff. Always busy on Saturday nights

J L: Patio seating, good charcuterie board, and a nice beer selection. What else could one ask for.

Enrico Manalo: Really really great hot sauce upon request. In the summer, there’s a little patio, perfect for enjoying tacos. Haven’t had a bad thing here.
Thrillist: Order creations like the pineapple pork loin tacos at El Centro, a colorful joint that brings some much-needed authentic Mexican to a city sick of bland burritos, looking for a cure. Read more.
BU Today: Some favorites from our review: the carne asada taco, the shrimp ceviche, and the chimichanga with chicken. El Centro is pricey for a student on a budget, but dishes out authentic Mexican cuisine. Read more.

Spencer Schoeben: very authentic jazz club in a cool area. don't mess with the outdoor seating. go inside. enjoy the music. be free
Brian DeVito: There aren't enough things to say about the beehive. Can't go wrong with their house honey brew and famous short rib grilled cheese. Squid ink specials are A+ when they have 'em.
