Glad to see a thriving business in the historic Lee train station. The service is great and the food is fresh, but some things could use a bit more flavor. I had lunch there and ordered the tacos with 3 different fillings: bistek (beef), carnitas (shredded pork), and flor de calabaza (squash blossom). The bistek was OK, tender but slightly dry. It could have used more seasoning. The carnitas was very tender but seemed to have no seasoning at all, not even salt. The flor de calabaza was outstanding, however - very flavorful, due in part to the perfectly sautéed onions mixed in with the squash blossoms. The soft corn tortillas were excellent, too. The rice and beans were ok but they also needed salt. I'm planning to go back for dinner sometime to see if there's a difference in flavorings.

I loved the old train station conversation into this beautiful mexican restaurant. Great authentic taste portions were just right. Red sauce was ?. Topped it off with the tre letches cake, which was also delicious. A must visit.

Delicious food! Great service, will definitely go back when passing through the area again. If you go for dinner just keep in mind is BYOB

Antojitos is the best addition to downtown Lee, MA in years! There isn't much in the way of fine Mexican food in the Berkshires. Xicohtencatl in Great Barrington is quite good, but also quite pricey. But now we have Antojitos, and thank goodness that we do.The menu reminds me of some of the nicer Mexican joints I visited when I lived in Southern California. The meat options for tacos and burritos, for example, range from beef and al pastor to tongue and tripe. Something for everyone. And the carnitas and al pastor tacos and burritos are out of this world.I've yet to try a proper dinner from Antojitos, but I can't wait to dine-in. I've tried the chilaquiles, which was a sizable and varied dish containing many pleasing flavors. The nachos were excellent, made unique by an ample fresh guacamole dip and top-notch salsa. An order of three tacos can be mixed-and-matched so each taco is distinct.I've noticed that this restaurant is uncommonly capable of providing food with perfect texture--something often overlooked at other eateries. This place is worth your time and money. Get the carnitas burrito.

Went to the Berkshires in December 2022 and tried Antojitos for the first time. The food was so fabulous we decided to go again in February. Support this local business so I can enjoy their nachos and guacamole for years to come! Shrimp tacos are amazing - and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his carnitas burrito. If you're on the fence, just go and try it. The vibe is cool as well as it's an old train car. Will be back again. Oh! And churros - delish!

Very good food and unique menu options. This is not your typical "Tex Mex" fare but a more authentic take on Mexican. They still have things like tacos and burritos which look good too. I tried the Sopes which were very well done as was the carnitas. There are a ton of different meat options and combinations to try!Will definitely be back here. The atmosphere is ok nothing crazy but certainly not bad. Service was friendly and prompt. Pricing was fair for the quality!

Extremely fresh, perfectly prepared and served with kindness and attentiveness. Busy on a Monday lunch in January and easy to understand why. Not the cheapest Mexican food but the portions were sizable and the quality was probably the best that I've enjoyed outside of Oaxaca, so utterly worth the cost. No alcohol served but you can byob.

Cool place, off the beaten path. I think it's a former train station, so it's got a cool vibe and design to it. A little bit of a communication barrier between English and Spanish, but not terrible. We ordered a couple of aguas del día (pineapple today), but had to ask a couple times (first time was misunderstanding due to aforementioned communication barrier) to get them, though the other frinks came out fine. Not sure if it was watered down pineapple juice, but still great. Love me some pineapple :) For food we got tercia Oaxaqueña, which was rather tasty, los tacos (gluten free), which were good, but needed a sauce of some sort, and chicken tenders for the kids, which they both enjoyed (and so did daddy!). The rice was pretty standard. The refried beans were rather good, and I say that being not being much of a fan of them in the first place. No desserts this time, but the tres leches cake and churros both were VERY tempting. Next time!All in all, pretty decent. No liquor license, but you can bring your own, if so inclined. Honestly, I'd go 3.5 stars if I could because not necessarily anything special, but not bad at all either. I'll give a small town joint the benefit of the doubt though and go 4.

Really not good, we got food for 5 people and no one cared for it. The carne asada was dry, overcooked and tough. Everything lacked seasoning, the rice was dry, the beans watery. All the meat was sitting under a sea of flavorless beans and the portions of meat were small. My mom couldn't find the salmon on her plate. I have a star for the hot salsa because that was good but I wouldn't ever return for such bland and expensive food.

In an old train station a block off Lee's main drag, this spot has some very good authentic Mexican. Sopes with tingua or beef were flavorful with fresh avocado slices. The issue was, really loud Mexican pop music, which was a drag. Open to all kinds of music, but who wants to hear loud accordion while dining?
Family-owned authentic Mexican gem in Western Mass. The meals are delicious. Their pozole is a kiss of the gods.

What a unique dinning atmosphere. This is a legitimate railroad station that has been restored. Spotless! Service was attentive and food was hot and fresh.

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Boston. The restaurant looks to be an old train station. Super cute, the staff were great and the food was delicious. Great for gluten free.

The food is fantastic. I was looking for authentic Mexican, and I got it. The restaurant is in an old train station and is very cute and cozy. The service was very good, but not very friendly. However, there was one girl working as hostess and also waiting on every table, while there was a boy delivering all of the meals. They did a damn good job and were working their butts off. I am going to crave that food and will be back.

What a delightful surprise. After being told there was a 40 minute wait at the 51 Park Restaurant around the corner my wife found this place. The outside is a little rustic but the inside is warm and full of character. The chicken with green sauce was 100% excellent.
