A Boston magazine 2013 Best of Boston, El Centro is one of the standouts among the city’s recent surge in south-of-the-border dining. Step inside and be surrounded by vibrant Mexican street art, including a hand-painted mural along the back wall and portraits of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and film idol and singer Pedro Infante. The menu is equally vibrant, with entrées like camarones papanila (shrimp wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese, served with rice and avocado). A native of Sonora, chef and owner Allan Rodriquez whips up family recipes every night. El Centro also offers a small, but choice selection of wines, beers, and sangrias.
