50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Boston

“I liked this enough.
Went around late lunch so the venue was mostly empty and service was fast.
My chips and guacamole were the highlight. I could the beef birria taco to be dry (it shouldn’t be at $6.99).
Everything was slightly overpriced but one of those situations where it’s because of the decor and not so much the food you’re eating.“

“THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST GEMS TO A PLACE THAT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO EVEN SET A FOOT IN. I'VE BEEN TO THIS PLACE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, SINCE PANDEMIC HAVE NOT GONE. WE FINALLY WENT, THE MINUTE I WALKED IN THE PERSON AT CASHIER SAID WHEN YOUR READY TO ORDER YOU COME HERE, BLINDED BY IT AS IS A RESTAURANT NOT A FAST FOOD SPOT I LOOKED AT HER AND ASK FOR THE MENU SHE LOOKS AT ME AND POINTS INFRONT OF HER TO GO GET IT MIND YOU, THERE ARE 3 OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO WORK THERE .....I LET IT PASS AND TRIED TO GIVE THIS PLACE A SECOND CHANCE COMING BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK AS THE FOOD ACTUALLY WAS GOOD THE WEEK PRIOR. WELL SERVICE WAS ONLY WORSE THIS TIME AROUND, THE WOMAN AT CASHIER LOOKED BOTHER BY JUST BEING THERE TAKING OUR ORDER AS THE TIME PRIOR OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO ALSO WORKED THERE STANDING JUST THERE. WE GET OUR FOOD REALIZING I GOT CORN TORTILLAS ASKED IF THEY CAN BE SWITCHED TO FLOURONE OF THE EMPLOYEES RESPONSE WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM THERE GOING TO THE TRASH AND I AM LOOKING AT HER LIKE OKAY IS FINE CAN I PAY FOR AN EXTRA ORDER OF TORTILLAS OF FLOUR. THE AMOUNT OF DISPLEASSURE THESE WOMAN HAVE BEING THEIR IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SERVED, ASIDE FROM THE FOOD FEELING SO RUSH THIS TIME AROUND AS WE GOT THERE AT 8 THEY CLOSED AT 10PM. I UNDERSTAND RESTAUTANT INDUSTRY IS NOT EASY BUT FOR ME TO GO TO AND SPEND MY MONEY IN A PLACE THAT FEELS SO FORCED TO WORK IS NOT WORTH MY TIME NOR MONEY.“

“Nice authentic Mexican food!!! Great atmosphere & Drinks are great!!! Speak Easy theme!“

“I can't believe it took me this long to leave a review. Angela's Cafe's is rightfully a East Boston treasure.

I've eaten everything here and never been disappointed. My favorite meal at Angela's is brunch. The pancakes are perfect, I usually opt for the huevos con chorizo.

The staff is great. The atmosphere is colorful and fun.

Trying to plan a date night that will impress but not over the top... Go here“

“Yes I am received very good attention from the people who are working there and the food was very good!“

“it was a real plesure working for matthew mcconaughey at chubbs of dorester bartender joco john Collins showed me a video of a what might have been a man or might a women giving a blow job on his phone, bartender tom say snitches get stitches, microphone check drink thanks for the psychosis. manager keys learned her management skills at combat zone in scollay square, my grandfather and dad got guns pulled at union Hall in the 80's, I wonder why chose to cross the picket line, my dad got hit in head by a mixer and bleeding out of his eyes, ears and nose and cousin told him to go sit on the tailgate of truck instead of telling him to get a ride to the hospital he quit working for his father and uncle to take a job at union construction compqny Spillane construction. PS Why do your hats not say maverick, @ maverick Hospitality maybe you open a place next middlebeast next.. I wonder the dos equivalent reps buddy who just just came from sox game was its so hard to make a comeback its really not though“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

“Good place for breakfast Roxana is a great server 🫶👍😋😋“

“The food was so delicious and the margaritas were the best. But the night was really topped off with having such an amazing server. Ask for Gilly. If ever in Boston make this a must!“

“Delicious with quick friendly service. Gracias“

“Best authentic Mexican food“

“Came to Boston for a convention for my son and came across this restaurant. No lie the best burrito and carnitas I have ever had!!!! Will definitely be back“

“Hidden gem! Classic bar with insanely good cocktails and food but keeping it real. Beet salad could compete with any high end restaurant. Smash burger and fries - no words. Oh pickle plate is a must - classic sweet to the unexpected root veg and snow pea mix. Great beers new and old. The bartender Mike brings it. He's cool and chill and makes the best subtle recommendations. Great fun to talk with. Great music, great vibe. Already planing a trip back for the reuben. Simple menu done right.“

“I celebrated my 52nd birthday today with my daughter. Our service was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone“

“The birria tacos where so good can’t wait to come back and they have really good service!!! 5 stars!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Not only was the food amazing but so was the attention! Rocio was so friendly and attentive. We both got the aguachile and it was amazing, unlike other places it was more shrimp than vegetables which was a pleasant surprise. I have been here every Friday for three weeks in a row and will be planning to make it my weekly routine. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“Our law firm had a great meal here with excellent service and food. It's a good spot for business lunches or client meetings.“

“I’m consistent customer and I tend to get the same server every time. They tend to half scoop on reg servings, in addition to not being able to wrap a burrito properly. I just wish that they were more attentive when it comes to actual portions and wrapping.“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

“Had a solid burrito bowl here. Reasonably priced and decent food. To be honest, West Coast taquerias are a league beyond this place, but I am rating on the basis that this is a local chain whose competition is really Chipotle and not authentic taquerias.“

“I LOVE Yucatan Tacos! The taco shell salad is so good! I also love the quesadillas and burritos. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always the best food!“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“I went there this week for lunch and this was the best Mexican food that I’ve ever had! I definitely will return. Staff were very polite and had smiles on their faces. The atmosphere was lively and filled with many people, and there were still available seating. I also LOVE the decor“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Sabina Mezcaleria. The food was delicious, and the drinks were even better. Luis and Naomi at the bar were amazing—super friendly and welcoming, and they really elevated the whole experience. I would absolutely recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!“

“Great service food delicious“

“I’m from Los Angeles and this ranked with some of the best Mexican food there.“

“Since relocating from the New England area, I've missed access to Villa Mexico Cafe. This year, I ordered their infamous (authentic and delicious) Black Salsa for the whole family for the holidays! It's a real treat and one I'm grateful for. Their food and service have always been spectacular (and spectacularly friendly). Well worth a visit to their Boston location... or a mail-order if you are not in Boston! Viva la Villa Mexico Cafe!❤👍“

“Fantastic place for lunch! We got the chicken and carnitas bowls and they were so good! Huge portions. Great value! And absolutely delicious. The bowls are a fantastic option if you are low carb, but everything is fantastic (the kids loved their burritos too). Highly recommend!!“

“The food here is delicious!!!!! 100/10. When you get that little bite of plantain, chicken tinga , rice and black bean, perfection! I absolutely recommend.“

“Food is bussin! 🤤 got a pork quesadilla“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

“The food here is delicious!!!!! 100/10. When you get that little bite of plantain, chicken tinga , rice and black bean, perfection! I absolutely recommend.“

“I love it!!! Hidden gem. Food is really tasty and I feel I’m eating something really healthy. FISH TACOS MY FAVORITE“

“Love the place, and food is just delicious!“

“Amazing food and great service. We tried this cozy little restaurant last week and can not stop talking about how amazing the food is, especially the Chicken Nachos! Everything is made fresh, and not smothered in cheese so it is healthier but not lacking any flavor. We can’t wait to go back.“

“If you’re looking for the true taste of Mexico in your food, I 100% recommend this taqueria in Boston. The flavor, presentation, and quality of their food are the best we’ve found across NY, CT, and Boston. In fact, their taste and quality even surpass the famous Tacos #1 in NY. On top of that, the staff’s attention is outstanding. This is a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors!“

“Food allergy sensitive. I’m allergic to mustard and cucumbers and they are sensitive to these allergies. Just remember to ask.“

“You have to try the carnitas torta! It also needs to be profiled on some foodie show!! Delicious!“

“We recently visited Acapulco Restaurant and we ordered the enchiladas, shrimp in tomato sauce, and quesadillas for the kids and the food was so amazing. Everything had excellently crafted flavors that can only be described as cooked with love. This place is a hidden gem and we’ll be coming back for sure. Oh and the margaritas were on point too!“

“Great food at reasonable prices. All ingredients are fresh and full of flavor, food prepared with care and consideration, and premises are clean and welcoming, albeit a little cozy on the inside“

“Awesome takeouts from Mi Finca for DateNite last night!!! The Mi Finca Shrimp Chimichangas Dinner was incredibly DELICIOUS!!!! We paired the food w/ some homemade spicy margaritas :-)“

“We loved our Cinco De Mayo taco box! Generous serving of fresh food! Made our evening very festive! Thank you“

“Our law firm had a great meal here with excellent service and food. It's a good spot for business lunches or client meetings.“

“Best meal I had in Boston this trip.“

“Es la segunda vez que vengo aqui, la comida está excelente y el ambiente es muy amigable. Definitivamente regresaré!“

“The food here is delicious!!!!! 100/10. When you get that little bite of plantain, chicken tinga , rice and black bean, perfection! I absolutely recommend.“

“Tacos are my favourite food and these, by far, are the best tacos I’ve ever had.“

“Chilacates is a chain of quick service Mexican restaurants around the Boston area. The food is made fresh, and ranges in style such as Birria Tacos and more.

We ordered takeout, and we got the birria taco and some nachos. The nachos were good, not overly spicy but had a good flavor and wasn't soggy from the cheese on top. We though the Birria taco was a little bit lacking, as it felt flat and not similar to other birria tacos we had, and the flavors weren't entirely there. Portions were also a bit expensive for what we got.“
