50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Dedham

“April was a great server. Food was great. Please bring back the Ahi tuna taco.“

“Never disappointed! Both locations always get it right“

“This Whole Foods had the best, largest, salad bar I have ever seen. Huge number of hot and cold choices. Great place to load up for a casual dinner at home. Parking can be a bit confusing for newcomers due to its location at the edge of a mall.“

“I’ve been going to this restaurant , same location for over 9 years, very friendly staff , they even ask you how’s the food when they pass by your table.
Weather, you are dining in or taking out that is definitely the best place to go, I love it and recommended it.“

“The Taco’s are unreal here. My wife and I showed up at dinner having eaten a big lunch. We both said we’ll just grab something quick and small. 8 tacos and and two Spicy Margaritas later we were in love with this place. Great service and fair prices.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.“

“The best Mexican in a hundred-mile radius. The tacos are my favorite, and the team is friendly and professional. The setting fits the street-taco character, but definitely try the plates, tortas, and burritos. I've been a customer for a decade and hope to be for decades more!“

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

“I have been to Patzacuaro no less than 40 times and every single time the food is phenomenal. The servers could not be more polite and they have an excellent spicy margarita. I go out to eat quite a bit and this is my favorite restaurant in the greater boston area.“

“Wow, what a happy little accident we had stumbling into Angela’s Cafe before a flight. We only had an hour before needing to drop off a rental and head out from BOS, and Angela’s was one of the few places open on July 4th. Couldn’t have been happier to have found it.

The service was stellar from the beginning. The place is very small, but given it was 100+ outside, one man was holding the door so it stayed cool inside for patrons. Our server was attentive and quick, helping us with the menu and doing it with a smile.

The food was excellent as well! We had the al pastor tacos, huevos poblanos, and a side of plantains. The price was extremely reasonable for Boston (we’re from the midwest) and I even got an iced coffee to cool down on a miserably hot day.

We were in and out in 30-45 minutes, with plenty of time to take the car back and leave Boston. We’ll remember our time at Angela’s fondly.“

“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“

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.“

“Best Mexican food on the south shore. service is great and the vibe is awesome.“

“I went here with a friend for a quick dinner before going out to watch the World Cup game, but unfortunately we had to stay longer because there was a bad storm. We didn’t mind at all though since they had the game on the TVs and the food and drinks were delicious! I had the pozole and a few different margarita flavors. My friend ate the fajitas and loved them. Will definitely go back!“

“Love Tu y Yo in Somerville but quite a drive for us. This has the same owners and much of the same menu and is much closer. This restaurant was wonderful! My favorites are the cactus salad, the tamales, plantains, and birria tacos. Mole wasn't my favorite, and pozole was good but a bit salty. Staff were really friendly and welcoming! Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Warm hospitality you’d expect from a Cheers-like neighborhood bar where the staff knows your name & greets you with a smile Kudos to Jonathan for his kindness & recommending the Torta“

“Delicious with quick friendly service. Gracias“

“Best authentic Mexican food“

“Grabbed a quick order on a hot day, but the tacos were so fresh and delicious they were refreshing. Won't break the bank either, thanks guys! ❤️👏🏾👍🏾“

“Sol Azteca never disappoints! A Cadillac Margherita on a summer evening on the terrace? chef's kiss!“

“Nachlo is truly one of the best spots in Boston. The food is absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every dish tastes homemade and full of character. 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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

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

“Chipotle is good but QDOBA is definitely better. I visit this location almost every week and the staff are very friendly, keeps the place very clean and the food is fresh. 6 or so sauces are the best and gives various flavors and makes the food very delicious“

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

“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!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend.“

“I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars because their veggie taco, quesadilla, and all of their salsas were so good. However, the veggie tamales were sadly quite dry and had too much corn for the amount of filling.

I will certainly be back because everything else was too tier. I’d highly recommend checking this place out, but based on my experience today, avoid the veggie tamales.“

“Chimichangas! Absolutely love Acapulcos, and this one has a nice charm to it, as it's a little smaller than others that I've visited. You can always tell a Mexican restaurant's worth by their chimichanga, and they do it well.“

“This was a wonderful meal! You can taste the love in the food and feel the passion in the bright artwork that surrounds you 💗“

“Outstanding! Great food and drinks, we are regulars. We took friends from the mid-west, and they said Margaritas was the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.A.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Love that you can get at many toppings as you want for mostly no extra charge, but the Harvard location is a bit better. The rice here was a bit grainier, the corn a bit rougher, and overall flavor not as good. However, still satisfactory and affordable so would still eat here.

Nachos tasted great, but there weren't too many chips and 80-90% of them were soggy.

Nutella empanadas are a bit pricey, but they're good.

Orange and mango juice was okay. Apple juice was okay.“

“We have very professional attention from the lady Veronica, she recommends very well the menu and drinks. I well recommend this place“

“We love coming here. Large dining area with plenty of seating. Flavors and portion size are great for the price. My favorite is the coconut shrimp specialty burrito. My daughter likes their Al pastor burrito. The quesadillas are great as well! Picture of my grandson holding our to go burrito :)“

“The birria quesadilla was really good!! Best quesadilla I ever had. It tasted authentic. Service was good too. The young male server was really nice and helpful. The blonde server was nice as well. Definitely coming back to try other things!“

“Taco-Mex served food at a party we went to and it was very fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and accommodating. Lots of choices and so yummy. Highly recommended.“

“Lockheart offers delicious, affordable food. Appetizers include yummy street corn and sliders (three perfect little cheese burgers). Great variety of their gourmet tacos. Their guacamole is fabulous. Always excellent, friendly service. Efficient and kind staff! Great eating at tables or booths or having food and drinks at the bar. The two TV screens at the bar often show sports with the sound off.“

“THIS IS IT!!! As a San Diegan I have tried everywhere in boston and enjoyed great Salvadoran, Honduran, and Puerto Rican food but have not found great Baja Mexican or even good Mexican in general that remind me of home. This is the spot. This brought tears to my eyes on homesick day. I just need them to sell carne asada in their catering section or by the pound and I’d purchase weekly. Thank you for your service 🫡 this is truly the one thing I’m missing in my life having moved to Boston.“
