Restaurantji's Gloucester guide: Where to find the ultimate Mexican flavors.
“Undoubtedly the best taqueria of the north shore! Even if there was 20 mexican restaurants in Gloucester alone, tacos Lupita would still reign supreme! Very affordable prices for a rich dining experience that includes juicy FULLY COOKED meat (which has been a reoccurring problem with many other local taquerias), creamy rice and incredibly fresh vegetables (onions always cut through the mix!) all wrapped in a homely, authentic atmosphere. The staff here are friendly and always cater to the customer. Bonus points: they've got canned juices for fruits you've probably never heard of! Whether you're on the island or not, the trek to tacos Lupita is well worth it. Can guarantee you won't be disappointed.“
“My experience at Jalapeno's was fantastic! The food is delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The owners are always present and go out of their way to be helpful. I particularly recommend trying the chimichanga it's a must-get dish that adds an extra layer of flavor to your dining experience. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, Jalapeno's offers great food and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more.“
“Visited for the first time last night and I can't believe we waited so long. This place is delicious! It's a cute place with a large bar and seating at well spaced tables, plenty of elbow room. Service was great. Server (owner or manager maybe?) was very warm and friendly. I got the Machaca (beef brisket) rolled up in a chimichanga while my partner had a variety of tacos. It was all amazing! Even the sauce on the chimi had me cleaning my plate! Another owner(?), cook(?) also stopped by to check on us and explained the family background about some menu items. We were delighted. The margarita was also tasty. We will definitely be back for another taco Tuesday (or Margaritas Monday, etc.). I think this is our new favorite in the area. Can't wait to try more food!“
