The best Birria Tacos in town
$8 for a serviceable but forgettable birria taco
Good taco options for about $5! The service was really fast.

Taqueria El Barrio is one of the few places in Boston that offers authentic Mexican-style tacos, featuring various regional sub-specialties. The staff is friendly, and the food is phenomenal, with generous portions and an excellent array of salsas available at no additional cost. The tortillas are handmade, setting them apart from other places. Despite the high prices typical of Boston, the taqueria is worth the investment, with a rating of 4 or higher in food quality, menu precision, service quality, and timing. However, the decor and accessibility are not as impressive, earning a rating of 3. Customers with dietary restrictions can order without cheese, and the taqueria is known for its delicious, freshly made hibiscus tea or juice. While some customers have reported issues with the temperature and flavor of certain tacos, the chilaquiles have also received advice on serving them warm with a generous amount of queso fresco. Overall, the experience at Taqueria El Barrio is positive, making it a popular destination for those seeking genuine Mexican cuisine in the Boston area.
