“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.“

“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.“

“We had a special occasion dinner, and our server, Gisele, was fantastic once she found out; her service from start to finish was outstanding. We will definitely be back and ask for her again. The food was delicious, and every recommendation Gisele made from drinks to dessert was super Thank you so much! We will recommend this place!!!“

“The best fresh tortillas I've had in a long time, filled with generous portions of lengua/cabeza/al pastor (all perfectly cooked) and served with delicious salsas. You just can't beat it. I thought the meat was a little under salted but...they got salt. It's a taco, you can work this out. Will be going back as soon as I can find an excuse to to try the birria.“

“Good location in Davis Square“

“El mejor lugar para pasar en familia y amigos deliciosa comida y excelente atención al cliente“

“Never disappointed! Both locations always get it right“

“I love Taqueria El Barrio! Their tacos are delicious and the service is great.❤️

Their tortillas are handmade which really differentiates them from other places.

Pro Tip: You can purchase their tortillas at Formaggio and store them in your freezer. I always have a pack around my home and use them to make quesadillas.“

“We were in Boston doing some construction work, and for two weeks we searched for a place to satisfy our appetites—until the day we finally found Mana Grill. I highly recommend it: the salads are delicious, and the sandwiches and smoothies are all spectacular. It offers a Christian atmosphere, and everything is super clean. I definitely recommend it.“

“Best burritos in the Boston area. Better than Anna's and Boca grande“

“I love it!!! Hidden gem. Food is really tasty and I feel I’m eating something really healthy. FISH TACOS MY FAVORITE“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service, and AMAZING food. We drove an hour to try it, and are already making excuses to come back to try the delicious sounding brunch menu.“

“My husband and I went to Lone Star Taco Bar for the first time tonight. The service was quick, friendly, and efficient! Our waiter answered all our questions and took great care of me with my food allergies! I felt totally safe!! The food was packed with so much flavor and everything just melts in your mouth! The guacamole was literally the best I’ve ever had in my life and the tacos were flavorful and fresh!! We wanted to try one of everything so we will definitely be back. The ambiance is welcoming and I loved the decor. 10/10 stars!!“

“First time, wife and I had chicken nachos and tacos de birria. Everything was delicious and great. Definitely going back and this is our new place 😊“

“Food allergy sensitive. I’m allergic to mustard and cucumbers and they are sensitive to these allergies. Just remember to ask.“

“Honestly a really nice place. The food was good I just didn’t think it was that special! The service was great! I do hate when a tip is automatically added but we were 4 adults and 2 kids so understandable! The guacamole was not anything special! The Mexican corn was pretty good! We had a margarita pitcher and I will say they were generous with the tequila which was great!

I would stop by again if I was in the area!“

“Amazing food and great service. We tried this cozy little restaurant last week and can not stop talking about how amazing the food is, especially the Chicken Nachos! Everything is made fresh, and not smothered in cheese so it is healthier but not lacking any flavor. We can’t wait to go back.“

“everything ist fine there“

“We were visiting the area to attend graduation and had brought our small dog. The restaurant accommodated our dog by allowing us to sit outside. It started to rain but the server quickly rolled down the awning and no one got wet. I'm addition to their excellent hospitality, the food was delicious. Our group tried the burger with egg, chicken and waffles, pork bahn mi and crab cakes. Fantastic experience to top off a wonderful graduation weekend!“

“We hired Mi Corazon Taqueria for our customer appreciation event. Everyone loved the food and the service. They are professional and friendly and their food trailer is spotless. Food was amazing! Highly recommend.“

“we have frequently ordered out from them however I refuse to give them any more buisness as of today, we have never had any issues in the past . my husband paid 40 dollars for a taco tray , and upon opening the tray I noticed my chorizo tacos where burnt. to the point I couldn't even attempt to feed them to my dog. Im not sure if that was given to me on purpose because when I went to pay for my food I was commenting to the cashier about the large significant price increase and asked if I could receive my receipt so that I could verify the charges .I understand prices are going up because of whats going on , however the original taco tray typically comes with rice and beans, I was aware that because they where operating out of a taco truck I wouldnt receive that and I was ok , I just was not informed of the significant price increase that was a larger amount.The cashier had a attitude about it and scoffed and wrote me a receipt that read 40$ taco tray. I was already upset , so to go home and see that some of the tacos where severely burnt really upset me . I personally texted the owner and expressed to the owner that its not fair to work hard and pay for a service to feed your family and half of the food is charred. as of today I will no longer patronize this poor excuse of an establishment. I never got a response back and that speaks volumes about the owner . If you desire attitude and burnt piss poor quality then Tacos El primo on college street is the jackpot. attached are pictures of one of the burnt tacos and a screenshot showing that I reached out to show them the quality of food , In no way shape or form was I disrespectful or using any type of profanity in my text although I was upset, never got a response back .“

“Salsa Mexican thx so much for the stunning food wide open sitting space and the diffrent atmosphere of friendly and helpful waiters. I truly enjoyed the milkshake with chillie its like a scorpio sting in the mouth, smooth and tasty, the next warm and mouth and throat on fire!!!! The platter that were served just sooooo lekker and appetizing you will see us soon“

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

“Absolutely criminal that this place only has 3.5 stars. I went here April 3rd & April 28th before going to house of blues for a concert. Hit both times. Is it expensive? Yes, but when has sushi from a restaurant been cheap? When has eating out in a city been cheap? Value is there. I really talked this place up and when I brought my SIL there the second time we went and she agreed. Her word was “impressive”. If this place was closer to home I would have a budget problem. Nori tacos are a “can’t miss” and the avocado roll is the best I’ve ever had. Seriously good eats.“

“Tacos were really GOOD !!!“

“Very quiet place to eat on a Monday night. The food was good - not an expansive menu but enough options for everyone to find something. We waited quite a while for the check and finally walked to the register. Although the restaurant has a bar, we were not offered a drinks menu.“

“My food was fantastic the service was quick and the workers were nice. It's simply held back by the fact it's a city location so it is much smaller of a store with less seating when compared to it's larger sister stores in suburban and rural areas“
