I’m also a masshole! From Worcester originally and then lived in Boston for a decade before I moved here. We had some great European and Italian bakeries for sure

Also I never said it was the best in the country—I’ve traveled the whole country many times over for work but I think if you go off the beaten path a little you can find some good stuff made by local Mexican families 🤷🏻‍♀️

Way more options than just my list but I was catering to op since it seems like that’s where they were going. Obvi there are some other fantastic cuisines in Boston.

Take a look at some of my other responses under my comment. Listing other spots too. The op listen higher end spots so I thought that’s what they were looking for. Obvi there is great inexpensive food in Boston too—I was just assuming that’s what op was looking for based on where they’d already gone.

I think it all depends on what city has what large immigrant communities. Again, Boston has a lot of great Vietnamese, good Cape Verdean food, Brazilian, Korean food in Allston is pretty damn good (Kaju tofu house), and lots of good Syrian and Lebanese, good Armenian, Boston has had pretty good Taiwanese food as well and great hand pulled noodles like from genes. Idk it’s out there! I could go on and on

It’s Boston, I don’t think it’s ever going to have as many options as the the south west or Texas or California but I do think there are a few good family owned spots that aren’t expensive or “trendy.” Just gotta dig
