A pair of Mexican restaurants in Boston is down to one, as its newer location has shut down.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Viva Burrito in the city's Fenway neighborhood has closed, with a sign out front at the Peterborough Street space indicating that it shuttered earlier this week. The sign does indicate that the Franklin Street location in the Financial District will remain open, and that customers can continue to order online.
The Fenway location of Viva Burrito first opened in the spring of 2025, taking over the space where the original location of El Pelon Taqueria had been (El Pelon continues to operate a restaurant on Commonwealth Avenue in Brighton).
The address for the now-closed Viva Burrito in the Fenway is 92 Peterborough Street, Boston, MA, 02215. The website for the business can be found at https://www.vivaburritosboston.com/
