The good people at Olé Mexican Grill (11 Springfield Street, Cambridge, 617.492.4495) serve up authentic Mexican fare (no fajitas here) in a vibrant dining room exploding with ambiance. Still, Americans love a good basic burrito, so Olé, coming to terms with that cultural truth, has expanded across the street with the recently opened Olecito (12 Springfield Street, Cambridge, 617.492.4495). The burritos at Olecito are tender and hearty, stuffed with your choice of rice and beans, cheese, and melt-on-your-tongue chicken, beef, or succulent braised pork. (Vegetarians and health nuts can go for grilled veggies if they so desire.) No charge for guacamole, which is a happy little treat. Watch out, other burrito joints: Olecito is spicy-hot on your heels.
