2018 Best Mexican Restaurant

Chilacates

Socrates Abreu’s J.P. restaurants may be small, but the aromas coming out of his Mexican street-food kitchens are big and bold. There’s no wrong way to go with the mix-and-match menu here: Just choose your "canvas" (taco, burrito, torta, and more), meat, and toppings. Our favorite combos: spicy chorizo and potatoes packed into a burrito, and herbaceous pork enchiladas smothered in salsa verde. Look for two more super-fresh locations coming soon, in Mission Hill and Chestnut Hill. Multiple locations.
