The person behind an Italian dining spot with South American influences in Boston's North End has debuted what is basically a restaurant within a restaurant in response to the ongoing restrictions places on eating and drinking establishments in the local area.
According to the Facebook page for Taranta, owner Jose Duarte has set up a new spot called La Reina, which is basically a pop-up within Taranta that offers tacos, pupusas, and burritos for takeout and delivery. A recent post indicates that La Reina debuted over the weekend, with the menu for the popup showing three types of tacos, four types of pupusas, and burritos with several meat/veggie offerings included.
Jose Duarte is also one of the people behind a new Peruvian restaurant called Tambo 22 in Chelsea which is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The address for Taranta (and La Reina) is 210 Hanover Street, Boston, MA, 02113.
