Authentic Mexican chow
I've craved authentic Mexican food for a long time. Ever since the Sondereggers' neighbor, Noel, brought over some homemade tamales after the Dorchester Day parade a couple years ago, I remembered I didn't have to get the cheese-ensconced fare that's served at most places claiming to appeal to the American palate.
I also love neighborhood joints, places that feel like Grandma's kitchen. What they lack in size, they make up for in welcoming details and homemade originals.
We found both in Angela's Cafe in East Boston last night. Most of us had never hung out in this Hispanic part of town before. The restaurant was small and inviting, the food wonderful and reasonably priced. The amazing thing was that it was in a residential area, with almost no other businesses in the surrounding blocks. We literally felt like we had invaded a Mexican grandmother's kitchen.
Recommendation found on Chowhound, a great resource for food-lovers.
