Spicy Portabella Mushroom Taco - Dorado

Dorado is a hipster Mexican food joint in Brookline that opened in 2009 and recently made it to the big leagues with a location in New York City. Named after a fish, their speciality is the fish taco, but they offer a wide variety of traditional Mexican fare - tacos, quesadillas, elote, chips with salsa or guacamole, salads, and a Mexican sandwich known as a cemita. If you're thirsty you can enjoy Mexican beers, sangria, or agua frescas (refreshing fruit juice). They also now serve brunch on the weekends!

There are two veggie taco options, both can be made vegan if you request without cheese. The Grilled Zucchini and Red Peppers taco comes with roasted tomato-habañero salsa and guacamole. The Spicy Portabello Mushroom taco has marinated chile and garlic, avocado, and salsa fresca. To make it a satisfying and very affordable meal order the taco plate to get sides of black beans, seasoned rice, and a charred jalapeño.

The Brookline location, mid-way between Coolidge Corner and the bustling Harvard Ave. of Allston, is fairly small but does offer indoor and outdoor seating. You place your order, take a number, and your food will be brought to you. I've never experienced any service issues and the food is always fresh and tasty. I expect more locations to pop up in the future.
