About El Quetzal
To the ancient Mayas the Quetzal symbolized freedom and wealth. Freedom, because a Quetzal will die in captivity. Wealth, because the Mayas were traders, and quetzal feathers along with jade were their most sought after treasures. "Uncommon Mexican street food rendered grande-size and served in simple surroundings on Beacon Hill.The Scene: With its sponge-painted walls in shades of vibrant yellow, coral pink and lime green, the sunny, spartan dining room is an unfussy, homespun affair. Grab a seat at one of the 10 tiny tables and you'll probably be greeted warmly by owner Juan Montiel himself. The Food: Beware those who have small appetites or tender taste buds; Montiel believes in delivering his dishes generously sized and spiced.
