50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Brighton

“One of the best spots in Brighton!Casual dining with a healthful menu, friendly staff, and an open seating area with high ceilings and positive ambiance, Los Amigos Taqueria is a solid and fun choice for dining in the Brighton area. The vegetarian burrito I had with guacamole chips as a side order hit the spot well, and my sister was delighted with a fresh made-to-order salad.If you are in the mood for South-of-the-border food, this is a good place. Muy bueno!“

“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.“

“Good food and good customer service.“

“Really nice flavor on the carnitas and cabeza, solid lengua, and terrible carne asada tacos. Would say these tacos are smaller than used to (probably could get at this size and price in Manhattan which is saying something) so would just keep that in mind when ordering“

“I enjoyed the relaxing patio“

“When your breakfast just hits the spot & the nostalgia kicks in. Never disappointed when we come. Same timeless flavors today as they were 14 years ago. We have eaten here numerous times of the past 14 years Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. This location has very intimate seating for about 25 people. If your coming on the weekend expect a wait. Well worth it ! We have eaten everything on the menu and our most recent visit was for breakfast. Everything on the menu is delicious and flavorful! Orange juice is freshly squeezed and just like everything else , it's delicious. Service is amazing it's nice to see the same faces. Everytime we have come we never wait very long for our food to come out. My go to is the Centro Americano brings back so many memories from my childhood. The scrambled eggs with chorizo, the plátano maduro, queso fresco , avocado and the frijoles the tortillas Mmmmmmm. My husband always likes the Chilaquiles with green sauce. If you want traditional American breakfast they have that also. So this is a stop for everyone! Hope you get to enjoy a meal here and make memories like we do .“

“Great food but lately El Jefe's is taking a hit on bad reviews due to @GrubHub's poor ordering system with algorithm issues which I have brought to their attention, and seems they still haven't fixed since I placed an order months prior. On 3 separate occasions on the same date and time I received my order incorrect. When I compared the order from my GrubHub account against the receipt received from El Jefe's, it was determined I was missing many items from my burrito bowl. I contacted GrubHub in which they kept refunding me, and I also mentioned the issue. I ordered El Jefe's 2 more times and the same error occurred both times. I could see once they mess up the order due to reading it wrong but not 3x. El Jefe's only puts an order together based on the ordering slips they receive from GrubHub, so if something is off with GrubHub's ordering system that is what the restaurant is receiving and thus creating the order from. As much as these food delivery services are ripping off these restaurants, they got a nerve to make the restaurant take accountability for their mess ups and ordering errors. They're already scamming these vendors out of $$$ and continue to affect these companies in a negative manner. Time for these vendors to go back to the old delivery ways and cut the greedy middle man! These good delivery services are a total rip off with their high fees, whacked discounts that don't add up, and lack of customer service.“

The food has flavor and was affordable too. This restaurant is better than the Savin Hill Mexican restaurant.“

Drinks were amazing and the servers were very kind. I highly recommend for a fun dinner with friends or family!“

“Sydney is an absolute dream. I’ve never felt more comfortable and taken care of at a restaurant in my life. She is so personable and kind and made sure my friend and I had exactly what we needed throughout our time here, she made it hard to leave!

This girl deserves a raise because she was so incredibly on top of everything and so efficient and she was so knowledgeable. It was our first time here and this will now be my go to restaurant. Thank you Sydney keep being amazing!!!!“

“This is an unpretentious small Mexican food restaurant. It is decorated by three self-portraits of Frida kahlo and has metal chairs at small tables. You go to the counter for service. And order from an extensive menu and then they bring it to your table. The plates are fairly traditional and they were good. Nice portions. I had three pork Verde enchiladas and I found them to be really quite good.“

“1. Ordering from the mobile app is so easy and efficient.2. Our order was ready for pickup before the suggested time.3. Upon entering the store, the crew member greeted and helped us with the pickup right away.4. Our order was accurate and well-packed. The bowl was delicious and comforting! The loaded tortillas soup bowl is my all time favorite!!“

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

“I had the pork tacos which I thought were incredibly delicious some of the best tacos I've had since I came back from California . Service was great, they're open very late for food service. My friend had a burger and fries which he also loved. It's a thumbs up for me“

“La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!“

“This is a good go to spot for whatever occasion. First date, after work, catching up with friends, whatever. The same quality of food as when it was in Allston. Same great service. The tinned fish is new, and surprisingly good. The burger is a fantastic staple. The poutine is so good. Their deviled eggs are great. The service is awesome. Go once and you'll be back.“

“We came for a conference here in Lowell and it broke out for lunch and thousands of people were looking for a place to eat all at once so it was super super busy and the line was long but the gentleman who was the server, the bus boy and everthing else all in one... did a fantastic job.. all with a smile and great service. The food was one of the best I've had in a Mexican restuaruant as well so I know the cooks know what they are doing. I can not get over how one man got everything done with such an amazing attitude. I hope noone complains about the wait because the service and food were outstanding.“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“Delicious margarita Excellent fajitas Terrific service“

“Awesome, as always. Moving out of the area soon… but will Make a special trip back Here, for sure!“

“I recently had them cater a party and everything was delicious! There was not a single complaint! I ordered 300 tacos, half corn half flour. I ordered veggie, chicken, carnitas and carne asada. It came with all the sides. Only thing I would have done differently was order extra guacamole, it was delicious! One of the owners delivered everything and was the absolute sweetest! It came with everything to keep them warm as well. I also find out they will come and make the Tacos fresh if you are ever having an event. I highly recommend La Ofrenda Taqueria! Literally a 10/10.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere. Veggie Enchiladas and Blood orange margarita…highly recommend!“

“excellent atención muy rica la comida“

“Taco Tuesday. The waitress informed us about the daily special. Food was good. Service was slow at first. Not much interaction with the employees. They kept to themselves.“

“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!“

“Ordered a breakfast burrito and did not have barbacoa like the menu says. Sweet plantain was surprisingly in the burrito, and it tasted delicious. I paid for guacamole and felt like too little was added to justify the extra charge. Overall a solid burrito with fresh ingredients. Would purchase again with sweet plantain.“
