Ambridge, MA — CanalSide Food + Drink at CambridgeSide is getting even better. Two new food spots are joining the lineup: Chilacates and Fresh. Chilacates brings the bold flavors of authentic Mexican street food, while Fresh is known for its delicious sandwiches and smoothies from Nantucket.
CanalSide, nestled along the beautiful Charles River Canal, is part of the revamped CambridgeSide. This spot combines shopping, dining, and office spaces. The heart of it is the lively food hall, offering waterfront views and a diverse menu. Visitors can also enjoy the C-Side Bar, which features an exciting selection of craft cocktails, beers, and wines.
“We’re excited to have Chilacates and Fresh join us,” said Melissa LaVita, Regional Marketing Director for CambridgeSide. “They add fresh new options that fit perfectly with our culinary diversity.”
Chilacates focuses on traditional Mexican dishes made with local ingredients. Their tacos, burritos, and tortas are beloved by many across Greater Boston. On the other hand, Fresh started its journey on Nantucket Island, serving handcrafted breakfast and lunch items that highlight the charm of coastal New England. Their simple, wholesome ingredients make them a favorite for many.

Beyond food, CanalSide serves as a community hub. With events like Musical Bingo, Trivia Nights, and live music, it’s a space for locals and visitors to relax and connect while enjoying the waterfront vibe.
In recent years, retail spaces that combine dining, shopping, and entertainment have gained popularity.
