El Centro
After a string of Mexican eateries opened last spring, the South End welcomed what is perhaps the most authentic: El Centro from Sonoran-born owner Allan Rodriguez. Using a stash of his own familys recipes, hes turning out a tiny taste of his homeland with dishes like pollo al mole and carne asada.472 Shawmut Avenue, Boston, 617-262-5708
