I second the recommendation, however - this place has great authentic simple Mexican food. The couple that runs it used to own a restaurant in Brownsville, which is as close to Mexico as you can get without being in Mexico. The only drawback to this place is that it's a hassle to get there without a car.

Good Mexican Food?
A new player in town, and my current fave, is Palenque in Somerville, at 300 Beacon St. They serve Mexican food, not Tex-Mex (having spent a year in Texas, I think I can tell the difference now). The salsa served with complementary chips is fresh and better than any other I've had in Boston (Sol Azteca, Casa Mexico, El Phoenix Room - not recommended). Their mole and salsa verde are also excellent. Brian C. wrote: > Does anyone have any recommendations for good Mexican food restaurants > in the southern NH or Boston metro areas?
