Editorial Review

When a fire took out much of the Fenway block on which the old El Pelón was located it came as a huge blow. For the owners, sure, but also for the loyal following of burrito-heads and hungry college kids who made eating here on the cheap a daily practice. The new locale shifts the focus to the Boston College area, where we're pretty sure they'll be able to find more than a few converts to old favorites like the pescado tacos (crispy cornmeal and spice encrusted cod topped with arbol chile mayo, limed onions, pickled cabbage and cucumbers).
