At first glance, Tú y Yo looks like a fiesta—as if someone broke a pinata, and candy-colored tables and chairs spilled out. But what comes out of the kitchen isn't child's play, by any means. This is serious Mexican food, like shredded chicken breast slow-cooked in chipotle peppers and tomatoes, and “drunken” sirloin simmered in beer, pasilla peppers, and cactus leaves. And the flan à la Doris has an intriguing twist: cinnamon cream sauce. Sure, Powderhouse Circle is a little out of the way, but it's easier than going to Guadalajara. And it just might be more fun.

Review
We had dinner last night. I know quite alot about the Slow Food movement; I had no idea however that it meant no seasoning or flavor profiles. My fried grasshopper tacos were burnt shells of taquitos (flour not corn as advertised) with what appeared to be mushed up bits of grasshoppers. Don't order this until you have had a chance to know what truly great treats fried grasshoppers can be in Mexico! My pork carnitas were a joke, absolute mush again with no seasoning. Mushy rice, mushy beans. Great place for bland baby food. In addition, we were served nothing to nosh on with my "sangria" (code word for bland red wine and fruit juice...where's the brandy?)The final insult was the check. Riduculous to charge these prices. This is what your editorial staff thinks is the best Mexican restaurant in Boston (over places like Casa Romero?) Come on...what's going on over there?
