Pour House is refreshingly reasonable, friendly, and free of ostentation. If you're seeking a place to be rowdy with other college kids, look no further than its brick walls and dark-wood booths. Food is the usual pub grub (huge hamburgers and club sandwiches), except cheaper. Th features half-priced Mexican entrees and Sa half-priced burgers. With 2 levels of eclectic and fun music and cheap bottled beer (from $3), there really isn't anywhere more congenial for a casual barfly night in the Back Bay.

“Contrary to popular belief, not all Mexican food is hot and spicy,” the menu notes. Nor is it greasy and full of cheese. With dishes and ambiance straight out of the food flick “Like Water for Chocolate,” Casa Romero serves up first class authentic Mexican food in a dimly lit basement setting. Start with the soft and gooey chile relleno ($8.50), stuffed with cheese and topped with sour cream and a tomato-chipotle sauce. The Mexico City style enchiladas ($12.50) with cactus, marinated onions, and feta cheese are among the most delicious and unusual delights on the menu. Most of the meat and chicken appetizers and entrees are well-prepared and delicious, although portions tend to be small. No authentic Mexican meal would be complete without the customary flan ($4). While their version is light and tasty, a better bet is the mud pie, a rich concoction of chocolate, raspberries and caramel. Entrees $12-18.
