TaQueria La Mexicana, Union Square, Somerville

We tried the recently expanded TaQueria La Mexicana in Union Square last night. The owner, Roberto, is a sweetheart who gave us free food. It was a revelation - cheap, fast and great Mexican food! All the dishes we tried were under $10.

Here's their web site: http://www.lataqueria.com/ with lots of yummy photos.

There was a Globe article in August and I've been meaning to get over there ever since.

There are a whopping 96 reviews on Yelp! using phrases like "best Mexican in the entire Boston area," "Authentic" and "yumsky."

A success! We'll definitely go back. The owner said all gringos are welcome!
