“Let me put it you this way, I’m Mexican born and raised in Los Angeles. I have been looking for an authentic Mexican spot since I moved to Boston four years ago and I finally found it here 🥲 everything is delicious, the salsas can be made spicier if you ask for it, and the staff are super friendly. If you’re like me looking for a piece of home I recommend coming here no questions asked“

The owners are amazing and genuinely kind, and the staff is just as warm and welcoming. You can really feel the passion behind this place. The atmosphere is lively, cozy, and just such a great vibe overall. I cannot recommend it enough!“

P.S. the tulum drink is only $7 and it hits!!!“

“Came here after some Newburry street exploring. Only a 10 minute drive. The food was delicious, and fresh. The nachos were some of the best I've ever had along with the white queso.
The staff was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be stopping by when I am in the area!“

“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!“

“Had a great evening there with some of my friends. Tons of tequila to choose from, the menu items were tough to choose from. I had the queso along with a quesadilla. I could've ordered more but I was stuffed. Service, food and drink was exquisite. I even ended up buying some merch! Great looking stuff. 10/10 Will be coming back!“

“Always a great experience. Food is amazing and a tradition on my birthday. Service is amazing too“

“I absolutely loved this place! Generous food portions, attentive and very accommodating staff, wonderful atmosphere. They also have a plethora of assorted hot sauces waiting for you at their side table. I wish I lived closer to Boston… I’d be there weekly if not every other day! A wonderful place to enjoy an afternoon snack or a full dinner near the Boston Museum (a few blocks away).“

“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 :-)“

“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 can't believe I hadn't been here sooner!! Stopped for take out for the first time this week and service was quick, warm and friendly.

I beelined it for the BIRRIA TACOS which had excellent reviews online and I now agree and award Dora's with the OVERALL BEST COMBO AWARD (if there was one 😂).

Amazing. Filled (yes, filled) with juicy meat, no meat fat to ruin a random bite of your food, cheese and all other simple, delicious goodness. Then, the consume is actually perfectly tasty 😭 you'll want to dip your tacos in it constantly just bc you couldn't possibly think of letting it go to waste!

Looking forward to many returns 😉

P.s. Sweet plantains on the side is the cherry on top 😋“

“great food and excellent service. very much recommend“

“Best meal I had in Boston this trip.“

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

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

“The Avocado Rice Bowl is delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Very filling! Waitstaff are very pleasant as well!“

“Went today a Tuesday. Service was horrible and they were not busy. Waited 5 minutes before we walked up to a server to ask to be seated. Waited another 10 minutes for water , 10 more to order drinks, then 15 min to order apps. Apps came out before drinks which took about 20min to come out. Food was horrible. I don't know how you can mess up chips with salsa & guac or a chicken quesadilla flavor wise. Chips were overcooked. Quesadilla chicken was under cooked. Birria tacos were pure salt. Pico all we tasted was lime. Ordered a mixed drink but it was all liquor. Asked for a manager & told there was not one available. My birthday dinner ruined. As you can see from the pics we did not finish our main courses because they were not eatable. We did not take them home either. Great presentation but thats about all that was good.“

“This was my first meal back in the U.S. after a year living in Italy, and as someone who genuinely misses good Mexican food, Acapulco was a very welcome return. The dining room feels old-school in the best way, comfortable, familiar, and clearly rooted in the neighborhood rather than chasing trends.
The chips and salsa set the tone immediately: crisp chips and a salsa with real depth and heat, not watered down or forgettable. The chicken tamales were comforting and well-seasoned, with tender filling and a sauce that actually carried flavor. The beef burrito was generous and satisfying, the kind of plate that reminds you why this style of Mexican food is so missed when you live abroad.
Nothing here is trying to be reinvented, and that’s exactly why it works. Solid, confident Mexican cooking in a long-standing Jamaica Plain spot that knows what it does well.“

“I love how hot, fast, and fresh the food is. Such a blend of unique flavors to start the day off right. Coffee is always hot and fresh. Service is welcoming and friendly. It's tough not to eat here everyday.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent atmosphere inside and out“

“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.“

“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“
