As I take my eighth turn since exiting the Pike, my friend wonders aloud if I know my way. Yes, I memorized this route like a treasure map when I worked nearby years ago: follow the river road past the bubble-shaped church, left onto Willow, and there, next to the biker bar, is Taquería El Amigo. Far from Waltham’s downtown restaurant cluster, this 16-seat storefront is the quintessential hidden gem, a tiny cash-only joint where every patron is speaking Spanish and lustily devouring bowls of menudo ($7.50, weekends only) and plates of tacos.
