Yanet Restaurant/ 734 Dudley St./ Upham's Corner/ Dorchester, MA 02125

Sweet, sweet Yanet Restaurant.  It's in Upham's Corner.  The parking is more than tricky, and the traffic sucks at rush hour, but it is oh-so worth the trouble.  Crunchy, salty, meaty, fatty, chicharron is just the beginning.  The yucca here is perfect in every way, though minus the red onions.  Depending on the day, you can find 4 different kinds of rice.  I prefer the yellow rice with green peas, but yellow rice with sausage is a special weekend treat.  The bacalao at Yanet is tied for the best I have ever had.  Not only is it soaked perfectly, but the onions and peppers are fresh, crunchy, and a perfect addition to the feigned-fresh fish.  The baked chicken is tender,

moist, and substantial whether you order the $7 small or the $9 medium (this pic is of the $9 medium).  There is a lot more to choose from at Yanet, but I am addicted to the chicken and bacalao.  Stewed beef, chicken, pork, oxtails, take your pick.  If you are hungry, Yanet will not disappoint.  On top of the wonderful food, Yanet, the owner, is the sweetest abuelita you have ever met.  Go now.  Eat it.  It will make you happy.
