Mex Taqueria & Bar is literally located in Technology Square area of Cambridge, MA where I grew up. Nice to finally see this area of Cambridge growing and thriving with eateries, restaurants, and more. It's been a very long time coming! The ambience at MT&B was wonderful. We booked our reservation for Valentine's Day, and was very surprised to be seated within 10 mins especially on a very busy evening. We were seated on the 3rd floor where we got to enjoy...

What do lead with?? Server Freddy (from NW Mexico) made us feel like we were in his kitchen with his mom cooking. Owner Eric picked up on my SLIGHT eye cue and came right over to make sure we were really enjoying ourselves in his restaurant. And the food: Best nachos we have ever eaten. And tacos. We've got to go back to comment on more food items. THANK YOU for making us so happy and providing a level of hospitality that many places in Boston do not understand.

Food was delicious, service was fast and friendly. We thought it would be a good idea to ensure the door to the vestibule is closed, otherwise, people sat in the front could get very cold in the winter. lastly, not a huge fan of the drinks. Got a watermelon strawberry marg and it was extremely sweet/syrup-y. I ordered an extra dirty martini next and received a classic. totally fine was just expecting a knowledgeable bartender for this kind of place.
