“1. Ordering from the mobile app is so easy and efficient.2. Our order was ready for pickup before the suggested time.3. Upon entering the store, the crew member greeted and helped us with the pickup right away.4. Our order was accurate and well-packed. The bowl was delicious and comforting! The loaded tortillas soup bowl is my all time favorite!!“

“This is one of the only places in the Boston area that serves white cheese dip! I know, white cheese dip is not a culinary marvel or even anything authentic but man I love it and I've been missing it since moving here from the south. The food was solid and reasonably priced. Also, you get chips and salsa when you sit down - big plus on my book. The menu has draft beer listed, but it wasn't available when I visited.“

“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.“

“Really nice flavor on the carnitas and cabeza, solid lengua, and terrible carne asada tacos. Would say these tacos are smaller than used to (probably could get at this size and price in Manhattan which is saying something) so would just keep that in mind when ordering“

“Great food and service. Bierra tacos were great- we drank the au-jus straight as it had nice cinnamon overtones. Guacamole was perfect with the chips light and fluffy. The 3 tacos- were the traditional small one: the pastor had small amounts of pineapple - very traditional; steak (carne asada) was cooked perfectly as little strips and the carnitas has tons of flavor. The trea-leche was a hit with it's nice flavora. The margherita was flavorful and well balanced. The service was amazing- they gave us special hot sauce, not on the menu, when we asked for habanero sauce (they didn't have). Will go again- need to taste everything on the menu!“

“I just had the hottest meal I’ve ever had. The waiter said “That is very very spicy”…I told him to say “very” three times to warn customers. The meal was AWESOME!!! Thank you 👍“

“Excellent food and service“

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

“The Mexican food in this place is AWESOME! My friends and I get a really great experience there, every single dish thaw we tried was phenomenal! You have to try the avocado cheese cake, is my favorite there!! Service was great and the spot makes you feel like in a real Mexican restaurant.“

“Taco 🌮 Pastor, grilled habanero salsa and a Modelo draft 🍻 for lunch.“

“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.“

“I liked the burger. Truffle Gorgonzola fries were ok— I liked the fries, but didn’t really like the sauce. Stomach felt a little funny after, but not sure if that was the burger or fries.

Food came quick. Space was clean and small but not crowded.

Parking lot out back had multiple spaces available and was $1.35/hr. There’s some 2 hr free spots a few blocks down but you have to parallel park. Some 1 hr free spots closer to the restaurant but those were almost all taken Saturday lunch hour.“

“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“

“We are ecstatic that Quillos is in East Arlington! The food has the look and taste of a home cooked Mexican meal! We feel nourished by their food.“

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

“the best mexican food“

“This place has wonderful food, great flavors, very polite & attentive service. Very comfortable setting. Highly recommended.“

“The food here is delicious!!!!! 100/10. When you get that little bite of plantain, chicken tinga , rice and black bean, perfection! I absolutely recommend.“

“La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!“

“During my trip to Boston, I visited a Pakistani and Middle Eastern restaurant that instantly felt like home. The owner, who I believe was also running the place, was incredibly friendly and served us with genuine warmth and hospitality. We ordered classic Pakistani dishes, and the chef also Pakistani prepared them right in front of us, which made the experience even more special. The flavors were just like back home, and after five days of traveling, I finally got to enjoy a sip of proper desi-style chai and I absolutely loved it! This place is a gem for anyone craving authentic taste and heartfelt service.“

“Sydney gave my wife and myself the best time of our lives, man. She is the definition of a great waitress. This was our first time here, and I will definitely be back just because of her.

Plus, now we know they have all you can eat on Mondays, plus this have all you can eat brunch. $29 is not a bad idea at all.“

“One word... portions. For $17 I received 3 very small Birrea Tacos.
4 stars because the staff was friendly and the tacos were good but I cannot justify spending that much money and still being hungry. I would have to double the portion to be satisfied and I mostly write this review in hopes the owner sees it. I understand Cambridge rents can be high but... idk.. it's unlikely I'll go back.“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere. Veggie Enchiladas and Blood orange margarita…highly recommend!“

“love the food. love the patio. love the family environment.“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“I see this is a chain (?) so I’ll mention I went to the one on Highland in Somerville. I had the adobado con platano and it was so yummy I’m certainly coming back. This is a greasy spoon atmosphere and they clearly weren’t used to getting questions about the ingredients, but they dish out some amazing food.“

“We have ordered takeout twice now. The food is excellent. We have had the enchiladas rojo, the carne asada Plato and quesadillas and an exceptional pork torta. All have been seasoned well and so flavorful! The only tiny complaint is that the side of guacamole with my quesadillas was very tiny, like a tablespoon. Next time (and there will e a next time) I will call that out when ordering This is a true gem in Billerica, you won’t be sorry“

“Everything was delicious, great service, hot food, yummy drinks, clean and great team of workers.“

“Wonderful food as always. Very authentic and always the best! Thank you Tu y Yo!“

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

“Pleasant employees! Wonderful good was really great!!“

“Food was good. Plantains were delicious as were the churros. Horchata was a nice treat. The only complaint I have is they began cleaning the floors while we were eating and the overpowering smell of cleaner was ruining our experience so we had to take our food outside to better enjoy it.“

“Love everything, from warm chips and salsa to entrees and delicious drinks.“

“Enjoyed a Birthday lunch with my fiancee.The staff were friendly, the food was authentic and delicious and the dinning area is very quaint. We ar looking forward to returning again soon!“

“Absolutely delicious and super friendly and fast service! Got the birria tacos and would definitely recommend and go here again! My friends loved it as well!“

“The ladies behind the counter took my dairy allergy seriously and helped me find something to enjoy. I had the carnitas tacos, without cheese, and rice and black beans on the side. They made my food first out of the rest of my party, and took the time to clean the grill before hand. The tacos were delicious - the beans and rice were a little bland and much better when I added them to the tacos. I'd recommend speaking to the staff about possible options if you have food allergies.“

“The food here is better than taco loco because of the significant bigger portion size (not stingy like taco loco), the beef is not soggy (loco's meat taste like saddness), service is better (because the employees aren't overworked), more toppings. The only downside is the price but the significant larger portion size makes up for it. When I go to loco, I'm always disappointed about the lack of protein.

Maya: more expensive, flavor, larger portion size, less fluent employees

Loco: cheaper, blander, small portion size, more fluent employees so usually better customer service

“After coming from the dentist, my food choices were limited. Truthfully I just needed a simple home cooked meal.

I definitely got it at Acapulco Restaurant. Customer service excels at this Mom and Pop venue.

The Margarita was expertly prepared and complimented the whole meal. There was plenty from the chips and plain salsa to the number one, which included rice and beans.

I felt valued, and there was great hospitality. I'll be sure to come through more often.“

“I have had almost all varieties of tacos here and a few of their sides and I love them all. My favorites are probably the Birria and Al Pastor Tacos. You really can't go wrong with any of their tacos though.
When I had a Bad day and need good food to cheer me up, this is where I go.“

“I ordered the quesadillas and miso soup and have to say it was the best quesadillas I have ever had. The meat had so much flavor and there was plenty of sauce to make it even better. The miso soup was wonderful and stayed very warm even after I ordered it and hour before I ate it. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back“

“All around decent. Tacos are the way to go here rather than burritos, and the margs are great for being on dining dollars. The decor is unnerving for sure, and the hot sauce collection has dwindled from its peak, but overall the best Mexican food on Huntington, and certainly the best on NEU Husky Dollars.“

“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!!“

“You have to try the carnitas torta! It also needs to be profiled on some foodie show!! Delicious!“

“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.“

“Thank you Mr. Paulo and the team for the wonderful service over the weekend. In a restaurant as busy as this location is, to be remembered by the staff is seriously next level and I'll always be happy to venture into town for this specific location.“

“Absolutely amazing staff and food. Always priorities my food allergies, with labels on everything so you can eat confidently. I am a Boloco fan for life.

Vegetarian options: tofu and great veggie choices

Dietary restrictions: They let you choose your allergies on the mobile order menu. Every item is labeled, even the chips and guacamole on the side. Makes me very happy and confident to eat here.“

“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!“

“I’m from Los Angeles and this ranked with some of the best Mexican food there.“
