WECO - meal deliveries in the greater Boston area

Coincidentally, I had WeCo for dinner last night while visiting friends.

I thought the meal was tasty, closer to homemade than similar options.

They having been using the service every so often as busy parents of a 5yo with little other help, and making a concerted effort to eat healthy.

What we ate and pricing are below. Each of us enjoyed different parts: I thought the crabcakes were surprisingly good (packed with crab, not much filler, good size), someone else loved the kale salad, another the mezze plate (I will say that the roasted butternut squash hummus was fantastic, and I don’t even like hummus much, but I’m still thinking about it).

The $6 delivery fee doesn’t seem crazy if one were ordering several dishes, because each seems reasonably priced so another $2 tacked on for eg isn’t crazy (the crab cake meal at $15 would still be well-priced).

The weak spot to me was the kids meal - they don’t seem balanced the way the adult meals described on the menu mostly are. For eg the kid last night had no vegetable because the meal was breakfast for dinner - there was a tiny waffle with a giant amount of dulce de leche dip, 2 small sausages, and fruit. But for parents in a pinch on a busy night, maybe that was ok.
