Last friday night me and my husband ate at T-Rex, when we heard that Jim Fahey had opened the restaurant we had to go there. We have been following Jimmy since the Forest and the Porter House ( he was the chef at both )and needless to say we were blown away by his cooking. I had the super burrito with chicken which was out of this world and my husband had the pork burrito with tinga and verde sauce. We are so delighted that Jimmy is back on the scene and will be visiting T-Rex often. Welcome back Jimmy, Boston has missed you.

Rosticeria Jalisco is really good. There are a few others throughout East Boston I cold recommend, but their locations and names escape me. And please, don't have burritos. Those are American creations. et something else, like pozole, menudo, or birria.

Is there a particular place in East Boston that you would recommend, or are all of the places around Day Square solid?

Or you can go to East Boston (Day Square, to be exact) and have actual Mexican food.

We checked out this joint over the weekend as well...VERY promising! I had the chicken in pumpkin seed green mole burrito. It was delicious, but it's hard to make a pumpkin seed sauce stand up to the flavors in Mexican cooking. In any case, definitely worth a try. One note -- the majority of the wrestlers on the wall are not Mexican. In fact, there are two autographed photos of Killer Kowalski, a Malden native who passed away recently. -ThatHottness.com | Boston Lifestyle Blog
