For this week's Bites Nearby, we're directing you to a tiny, sidestreet Mexican restaurant in Waltham that repeatedly receives awards for excellent food.
We warned you this family-run restaurant is small, so that means the wait can be long on weekends. Get there early and know that the wait is worth it.

Greatest Dish Ever: Tacos Especiales. Four small tacos loaded with your choice of two different meats, onions, cilantro and guacamole. Fresh and flavorful.
Don't Miss: The sangria. If you go with a group, go ahead and order the pitcher. If you don't trust our opinion, just take a look at the tables around you -- we bet many of them will feature the fruity wine punch.

The Vibe: Cozy, vibrant and friendly.
Cool Factor: This place gets a little big bigger in the summer when the patio is open for business. It's off the beaten path of Moody Street, so you can enjoy an outdoor meal on a less-busy side street.
