MUCHO GUSTO

Turns out chef Ken Oringer can do low-end just as well as he does high: The carne asada, fish tacos, and grilled corn on the cob at La Verdad will induce stronger cravings than any $40 entree from Clio. A ball's toss from Fenway Park, the restaurant plates up authentic Mexican to stay - in the laid-back dining room - or to go. La Verdad, 1 Lansdowne Street, Boston, 617-351-2580, laverdadtaqueria.com
