Great atmosphere, quality menu with good pricing, and consistently great food makes Mission stand out in a town that is known for its "care free who cares" mentality. We've been here at least 15 times now and it deserves nothing but positive praise after each visit!
2. El Comalito

We were dropping off our daughter at Mt. Holyoke and looked for a lunch restaurant and saw the many recommendations for El Comalito. We were very pleased with our choice. Excellent food - the Vegeterian tamale and the pupussas were fantastic. The hibiscus house matgarrita was very nice (not overly sweet). Highly recommended.
3. Mi Tierra Restaurant Amherst Mass
Reviewed By rjbouch
Enjoyed our meal. Service was quite good and the menu selections were unusual (in a good way). They didn't ruin it by over-Americanizing the food.
