A growing local group of Mexican restaurants is expanding further into the area, with a new one being planned for a Boston neighborhood.
According to a licensing board hearing page, Chilacates is looking to open in Dorchester, moving into a space on Dorchester Avenue on the southern edge of Savin Hill. If approved, the dining spot would join a number of others locally, including in Boston's West End, the South End, Mission Hill, Jamaica Plain (two), Roslindale, South Boston, Brighton, Brookline's Coolidge Corner, Cambridge's Central Square, East Cambridge, and Chestnut Hill--and another is being planned for Quincy as well.
The address for the upcoming Chilacates in Dorchester is 1211 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, MA, 02125. The website for all locations is at https://chilacatesmx.com/
