Esquite: Mexican Street Food (Revere Beach Station)

Tasty Mexican food, the beef is fantastic in tacos and great on the nachos. The nachos themselves are so much food, especially when adding a meat its a heavy order and can easily feed a few people.

Stayed overnight nearby and was surprised by how many great food spots were around. Came with Lynn and family—this place is in a nice little neighborhood with a few restaurants around. We had the quesadilla, El Paso taco, and Mexican street corn. Food was solid, fresh, and flavorful, though a bit pricey for a casual to-go place. There are stools along the front windows—room for four on each side, which was great for a quick sit-down. Service was excellent—super friendly and welcoming. Best thing we had? The tres leches cake—hands down. It was moist, rich, and gone fast. We saw it flying out the door and had to grab a slice before they ran out. Overall, I gave it a 4/5—not quite the best I’ve had (especially after some amazing corn in Ottawa), but definitely worth stopping in.

The food is amazing Editing I ordered today guac and chips I was excited on the amount of what I thought was guac and the cups is a big bad taste good. My disappointment with the guac is that it seem like a guac salad. To much large cut up onion, overwhelming. I had to remove so much onion because it’s just too much. Not even 1 avocado chunk. And the bottom was filled with lettuce.

Ordered the Enchiladas and they were ready pretty quick. Disappointed to say they aren’t very good. They have a weird woody sour aftertaste and I guess you could argue it was on purpose for flavoring the chicken but the chicken looks like it was just boiled and wasn’t even stewed in broth. Rice and Beans were pretty bland and I was given a small amount. Pico and Guac is pretty good and staff was very friendly, just not very authentic or flavorful mexican food. Also the guac was $4.50 and came in a super small container.

Ordered my food when it wasn’t really busy at all was looking forward to it as everything looked great. A whole hour & 15 min later I finally had gotten my food & was just told it was a mistake & that it go busy. The service was just horrendously slow. The food was ok the torts was the one thing I was really forward to but was super disappointed as there was so much fatty pieces of beef just wasn’t enjoyable. The tostada was so soggy that it fell apart as soon as I grabbed it. The fish tacos were pretty good but the rice was over cooked as there was hard pieces of rice mixed in there. Thie best item I would say was the birria tacos which was the only thing I really enjoyed, The elote was not bad either. Overall it wasn’t what I expected but at least the birria tacos were good.
