Compared to nearby Anna’s Taqueria, Boloco is an Amercanized version of Mexican cuisine. Offset from the hustle and bustle of Davis Square, this burrito joint is a nice place to chow down with a spacious, contemporary dining area. The food, topped with a lot of cheese and greasy compared to other authentic Mexican joints in Davis Square, is above average. However, Boloco’s vegetarian dishes outshine their burritos. Try Boloco’s guacamole dip and vegetarian quesadillas for a fresh alternative.

Formerly Benjapon on Elm Street, this new Thai restaurant in the outskirts of Davis Square has all of the ingredients for success: a refurbished dining area, an extremely friendly staff, cheaper-than-usual prices and a revamped menu that reflects the changing tastes in this gentrified part of Somerville/North Cambridge. Reminiscent of the popular Lemongrass Grill in Brooklyn, Joey’s Thai Café’s appropriate slogan is “happy in – happy out.” The menu sports a few spicy additions including Joey’s Spicy Pad Thai (an authentic spicy version of Pad Thai stir-fried with shrimp and chicken--$7.30) and Drunken Chicken (stir fried poultry in extra spicy chili sauce--$6.95). And for Davis Square’s ever-growing population of vegetarians, Joey offers an amazing selection of healthy tofu dishes.

They turn off the wifi during lunchtime and close at 4pm.
