Looking for a sublime Spanish meal near you?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable Spanish restaurants around Boston, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to meet your needs.
1. Mana Escondido Café
Topping the list is Mana Escondido Café. Located at 68 Aguadilla St. (between Pembroke and Brookline streets) in South End, the Spanish, Puerto Rican, breakfast and brunch spot is the highest-rated inexpensive Spanish restaurant in Boston, boasting 4.5 stars out of 88 reviews on Yelp.
Yelper Josh A., who reviewed the business on March 19, wrote, "If you want great, authentic Puerto Rican food, this is the place to come. The food takes you back to the island. The empanadas are great, the mofongo is delicious, and the tostones are crunchy (as they should be.)"
Yelper Allie S. wrote, "For $7 I found it to be a bargain for good food that reminded me of a good home-cooked meal and the staff was wonderful. Definitely plan to come back and try other menu items."
2. Lolly's Bakery
Next up is East Boston's Lolly's Bakery, situated at 158 Bennington St. (between Paris and Putnam streets). With four stars out of 20 reviews on Yelp, the bakery and Spanish spot has proved to be a local favorite for those looking for an inexpensive option.
Yelper Liz B., who reviewed the bakery on Jan. 4, wrote, "I just got a Rosca de Reynes cake. Looks great. Store is very clean and all the baked goods look and smell great. A little bit of a line, but it moved fast."
Yelper Ashley A. wrote, "They have a decent selection. They had conchas, orejas and other pastries. The great thing was that it was cheaper than I thought it would be for Boston, as well."
3. Rey del Pollo
Roxbury's Rey del Pollo, located at 111 Blue Hill Ave. (between Woodville Street and Irwin Avenue), is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the affordable Spanish and Dominican spot four stars out of 11 reviews. If you're looking for more, we found these details about the business.
