La Fabrica Central Restaurant: what do users think?
Wakanene “Sebastian” Kamau: The bouncer at the door tonight (a friday night) is racist. I was asked to take off my durag which i assumed was just to check for security reasons and when i went to put it back on I was told I wouldn’t be allowed in with it on. I then asked if I could wear another head wrap, i was told i would only be able to wear a hat with a cuff (like a beanie). All the while another member of the staff was wearing a headwrap. One of the most bigoted experiences i’ve had by a professional establishment in boston. I would STRONGLY advise that you do not go.
Rodrigo Ipince: Rude staff, misleading information. I've given this place too many chances, and every time they disappoint.Service: 1/5 …More
Tamires Cacheto: The worst nightclub I ever have been, very unsafe unless you are on VIP, security is only on that side of the robe.
Maricruz Vargas: Iba a un evento de latinx students y había comprado un boleto previamente. Cuando llegué me negaron la entrada a pesar de que ya había pagado y no me explicaron por qué. Después de eso me dijeron que si me formaba otra vez podía entrar, pero entonces me volvieron a rechazar sin decir por qué. Un lugar que rechaza a la gente arbitrariamente aunque se dicen incluyentes.
L Y: For the club:-Cover charge $25 cash only-Coat check $5 cash only-DJ has limited song choices, played the same song 4 times in a span of 2 hours-Latino music played-Lines are long-Cops hired to work security litter constantly-Bathroom attendant is superb, very professional, hands you a paper towel every time, mints available-Hard to get a drink because bartenders ignore you
Jaye Aster Broder: I went here for an evening birthday. Late at night on weekends there can be a high cover to enter. la Fab can make a lot of cocktails. It’s a bit pricey to get a basic tequila soda. The food looks good but I haven’t tried it. It is possible to reserve parts of it for celebrations.

Molleda Choung: My second time here and the food is consistently AMAZING! The staff/ managers and the owner Dennis are super friendly. The night club also had really good music. Would highly recommend !Parking: Parking is very difficult to find here which is normal anywhere in Boston.
Sarom: I had my birthday here and everything from the food to the service was amazing. We ordered mojitos, ceviche, chicharron, salmon tirradito, seared ribeye steak, fried red snapper, crab mofongo, octopus, and they were all phenomenal. So full of flavor!All my friends had a great experience. It’s a very fun vibe & the staff was very attentive. Management and the owner was very accommodating as they helped us transition from dinner to the nightclub as well. Definitely come here if you’re looking for a great time.
My Chi Tran: The food was amazing and vibe was on point! The owner took care of us girls and we had a blast. I definitely recommend this place if you wanna have good food and a good time.
Carlos Mario Osorio: Terrible place. Terrible personnel. Disrespectful an aggressive bouncers. The longest and most unnecessary queue. They feel so empowered because of the demand they have. Don’t go to La Fabrica, everybody deserves a good deal. They don’t know it at all! if possible i would choose no stars!
Maria Ana: the staff in general sucks! they are not kind at all, from the entrance to the safeguards they are absolutely impolite, they don’t have any sense of customer service and kindness. The cover is expensive and still they charge you 5 per jacket and 10 per bag, that’s an excess. As latin my expectations were high about this place: based on my experiencie I DONT RECOMMEND to spend neither your time not your money on this place.

alex k: I've been here many times for a night out.It can get very crowded. Music is great!Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More
MAICO JACINTO: La Fábrica was one of our favorite places until last night, we had a reservation for 7 pm, food was ok but I think the chuleta kan kan it’s overpriced. I do understand that you want people moving because you have other reservations to take care of but it bothers having people coming to your table every 5 minutes to try to take the plates out of the table when are still working on it. Definitely it will take a little while before giving another try to the restaurant
M R: Amazing food and service.. you will not regret it.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Shrimp Mofongo, Chicken Chicharron Mofongo Parking space Difficult to find parking Parking options Parking is unavailable …More
Lydia Chew: This is a great spot for both food and for nightlife. As popular as this place is, it's not very big (particularly in the front), so it's essentially reservation-only to eat here. Dinner also gets you in with no cover - otherwise, there's a $10 cover for the front lounge and $30 for the nightclub in the back.They have decent food and good drinks, so expect to spend. The service is also pretty classy and on par with the rest of the experience. For a group of 5, we ordered the salmon tiradito ($18), chicken roll ($20), lomo saltado ($25), and beef empanada ($6 for 1 large empanada), as well as plenty of drinks. All the orders came out quite quickly, which was great because I was definitely hungry. As with most restaurants of this caliber, the quantity of each dish is relatively small. We were still hungry, so we ordered another appetizer of avocado tostones ($20 for 3 pieces). All of the food was really good, though a bit pricey.After dinner, you can stick around to listen to the live band. There's always an eclectic crowd here that's diverse in both ages and ethnicities. It's a Latin-music spot though, so even when the DJ comes on, expect to hear a lot of Bad Bunny. It's a great weekend spot where you can dance the night away!
Bolivar Barreto: So I supported this place because it have one of the most amazing chef in the Hispanic Cuisine Giovanna Huyke I hear that she quit, Now this place is dead to me, no more support from me and you see her absence in the food quiality.Food: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More
Alexis Soto Guerrero: Food: 2/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5More
Valentino Salazar: Worst Spanish place in Boston! They should train their staff what customer service is!Don’t spend your hard earned money here! Many nicer places in Cambridge/Boston area!
boston lifestyle: Worst experience in Boston ! Don’t go! Way more nicer restaurants in Boston ! I think this place doesn’t have a manager! This place is run by bouncers outside

Orinoco Harvard Square: what do users think?
William Weber: Excellent vibe with friendly staff. The food was good, especially the ribs! Arepas are good, but won’t blow your mind. Could be a little more moist and the white sauce was quite garlicky. Yet we enjoyed our time and it’s a great find for Harvard square
Kenneth Mallon: The availability of menu items is hit or miss but it's delicious when they have everything. Limited drink menu.Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Bacon Wrapped Dates, Pork Erapas and Chicken Ensalada, Datiles Bacon-Wrapped Almond-Filled Dates, Tostones, Costillitas, Plantain and Cheese, Plaintains with Cheese …More

Shiran Soholitsky: Cute little restaurant on a sided street, feels like a family restaurant. I liked the design of the restaurant that felt very authentic.The food is delicious, very tasty empenda and steak.The only thing that bothered me was that I got the feeling that we were rushed to leave.We barely finished what was on our plates and served the bill.Besides that experience, this is a great place to eat, especially with family, in my opinion.
H: Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: YesMore
Richard C: Authentic, homey, delicious Venezuelan food. The environment is cozy and the staff is very friendly. Love bringing friends and family here.
P S: Cost little restaurant with absolutely amazing empanadas!The only catch with this place is that it closes too early.
Curt Raffi: Intimate, awesome and authentic... Tucked in a side alley right off of JFK Street in Harvard Square, Orinoco serves authentic Venezuelan food and serves it in an intimate and personal way. It's a perfect place to go on a cold winter's night to connect with friends and enjoy some wonderful food. Overall I rate the service and food an A-.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Pork Arepas, Costillitas …More

Jonathan Haws: Probably my favorite place to eat in the Boston area now. Amazing food, incredible service, and just a cool vibe. Love it!As I walked up, my waiter greeted me with a big smile and made sure I was taken care of at my quiet corner table. Couldn't have been more pleased with my dinner!

Ellen: I don't have much useful things to add beyond what other reviewers have said/taken photos of. It's a cozy space with great service and amazing food. I got the arepas, ribs, and Cordero. Everything was delicious. If you're still trying to decide where to go for dinner, and you aren't veg, try it out.
Tim Sheng: gorgeous Latino foods had off harvard campus! they are truly representing the culture and arts! must go there again.
NISHAT NYC: The food was good, but the man who was training a waitress was very rude. 3 of us went last Saturday, August 20th, 2022. We asked this person for menu and specials, he was very mean. It’s not a nice environment to have a mean server :(
Marina Mozak: Good food, pretty place. But there was a really bad smell while we were there.

S PJ: First time eating Puerto Rican cuisineI really liked the paella but it did not compare to a Spanish paellaThe other dishes were not my favorite from taste and presentation perspective but I have no comparison to say if they were tasting as supposed to or notThe breaded chicken was nice but the fries were not
ingrid oliveira: my partner and I really enjoyed the platanutres con guacamole it was so delicious! the calamares weren’t that great and the lettuce served no purpose. i got the mofongo sampler (i’d never had mofongo before) and i enjoyed it. it was a bit heavy for me so i ended up switching with my partner who got the churrasco con chimichurri — the steak was delicious! rice and beans were ok. overall a good puerto rican restaurant with simple food!
allen lopez: Delicious authentic puertorican dishes. Will definitely be returning here. As for parking, be prepared for at least 5-10 min walk as all the street parking is for residents only.

Y Ortega: I ordered chicken chicharron and it had bones it was fried chicken not chicharron. The pasteles and alcapurrias had way to much achiote and had a bad taste because of it.

State Park: what do users think?
Robert DiPietro: We visit this place every few months and it's awesome. I've never had food here, but the atmosphere is always good, and the drinks are always great.The bartenders make drinks with more care than almost anywhere in Boston, especially the guy with the beard! I especially recommend the gin drinks (I think the name of one is Pegu?)One small comment for feedback: could hire better door staff.My 32 year old wife just renewed her license, and last night she had both 1. her valid temporary license 2. her expired plastic license. The door person not only refused her but also lied about going to ask management if she can come in. Then when I went in and spoke with management, I found out she hadn't even asked them, and she then said she hadn't let us in because we 'were being aggressive'. Somewhat of a nonsense experience, but in the end the manager was more reasonable and let us in.
Dan Peluso: Food was overpriced and not very tasty - they do host a lot of community events here which is a big pro, but honestly one of the biggest problems about this place is the type of crowd it attracts. On multiple occasions I've had a 'Good Will Hunting-esque' interaction with an MiT member who can be rude and condescending. No fault of the owners themselves, and maybe just a consequence of the neighborhood but definitely not as friendly as you'd think. Pool table is typically pretty crowded.
fred: Awesome bar

The meal was great - duck confit frites, the impossible burger, and the wings were all delicious. Great beers on tap.Recommended dishes Fries …More
Emmaline Conti: The food is FANTASTIC! It's right next to my spinning studio and it's a great place to eat after a workout.Update: fries have changed but still amazing food all around

Bill Crampton: Food was amazing atmosphere is great
flashdose8: On business, was looking for simple bar to relax from the Cambridge scene. No dive bar here folks. Just gaslighting. A myriad of presumptuous MIT students, young professionals, and staff. No simple Bourbons (J Daniels & J Beam) at all. If you’re a socialist then this is the place for you. A 20% fair wage tax/surcharge is added to all checks whether you like it or not. Then they the b—-‘s to ask for a tip. I’m in Cambridge 2x’s a month. Won’t be a next time for me. The food I had was very good. I suggest take out only but remember an extra 20% is added for doing nothing…..

Grace Maloney: This place is such a vibe! Chelsea is the most fabulous bartender in town!
Taddele Frew: Good dive bar with games
J M: Dynamite food and bar. I wish they were open for lunch.
Ben Clancy: Had a really unprofessional encounter with Kasey Tapper, the catering and events coordinator, when trying to verify a reservation made a week ago.Was promised a reservation on the phone and even sent a confirmation email as backup, and was never told I needed further confirmation past that. but because I didn’t provide a budget in an extremely cursory follow up email they sent, they went ahead and cancelled the reservation without warning. she then proceeded to tell me why it was my fault she cancelled my reservation and how it’s not the host/whoever answers the phone’s job to reserve tables or reveal the minimum deposits required for larger parties, and rudely hung up on me. Like, seriously? That’s one of the ONLY things the person answering the phone should be responsible for.Be wary reserving this place for your events, every step was handled unprofessionally and rudely. I will be sure to not come back and to advise all other MIT affiliates to take our business elsewhere.
