Openings
:
The Boston Public Market
(100 Hanover St.) gets spicier with the addition of
Mr. Tamole
, softly opened this week. Andres Medina-Carreto and his mom, Margarita Carreto, began with a mobile food stand, serving tamales with their signature, family-recipe mole sauce, which is vegan and gluten-free. At the Market, they'll serve tamale plates with red, green, or mole sauce; tacos (including a potatoes and jalapenos version); and chilaquiles (which the menu cheekily notes are helpful during hangovers).
