We had a fantastic time at El’s. The location can’t be beat! It’s close to Kendall Square and MIT and east walking distance to Inman and Central Squares. We stayed for a few months and became regulars at Loyal Nine. It was a treat to have the backyard, so we could have friends over for outdoor meals or drinks around the fire pit — these things provided a sense of normalcy during the pandemic. Highly recommend El and Shelly!
