The sweet plantain bacon croquettes were amazing. The beef empanadas we solid. The seafood and pork belly mofongo were amazing.
We sat outside on the padio since the inside was too loud for us. The padio was very nice with a view of the canals.
Overall, it was a great eating experience and great food. We would totally go again if we are in the area.

The food is amazing here, whatever you order, and you will enjoy it. The atmosphere is good, people are happy everywhere, and eating and having drinks is just a great vibe all around. Make sure you check this place out because it's a place that you would not want to miss. The staff is always willing to help, and the drinks are strong.

Service was very nice. The food is just fine, I tried the steak. Not very juicy and it is definitely not medium. Soup tastes weird to me. And they charge a lot on the tips. It is automatically 18% gratuity and if you did not see the invoice carefully you would not see it. And still asking tips when you are paying the bill.

Gary’s is awful, I don’t know what’s worse the food or the service. The place was close to empty and took it 20 minutes for the bartender to make our drinks. The chicken empanadas were extremely dry and you can tell the meat was old. My husband and father in laws skirt steak was well done after asking for medium rare, forgot my MIL salad and husbands beans halfway finished with the meal before getting the servers attention to let her know she forgot half of our order. Then added auto 18% gratuity which I know being you cannot add auto gratuity unless you have a party of 6 or more. The drinks used to be amazing but were awful today and can tell there was a drop of alcohol and way overpriced for a martini that contained nothing but juice. Save yourself and your wallet and use the extra money and go to Lawrence.

Typos taste, very small potions. Pork belly are cut extremely thin and they only give about 4 tiny pieces. Nothing like other places

My boyfriend and I came here over a year ago, and we still talk about it. We’ve tried mofongo at many other places, even Puerto Rico, and it doesn’t hold up to Gary’s. The ceviche was incredible, the drinks were great, and the service was top notch. If you’re traveling anywhere near Boston, it’s worth a detour to visit Gary’s.
The food is good but they charge a huge amount of tip and hospitality fee. We ordered three dish for a total of $58, the Hospitality fee is $2.03 plus auto gratuity 18% $10.44, plus tax over food and tip ! So the rest of the amount I paid is $16.54. That's 28.5% of the food price! That's insane!

This place is SO good! All the food we had was amazing. If you're looking for something a little different, this is a great choice!

Food was good. My steak was well done when I asked for medium. I guess it's typical for a Mexican restaurant because I'm never happy with any steaks ordered at one. I never learn and is always trying to search for that 1 place that will make it actual medium...with a little pink at least. Oh well. We were a party of 3. Service was good and atmosphere was welcoming but they automatically added on an 18% tip. I would highly recommend going over your receipt before making your payment because they don't tell you it's already on nor is it printed on their menu. I have never gotten an auto gratuity for 3 people but apparently it's a thing now in Lowell since this is the second time at 2 different location that automatic tips was added on to a tab. We did tip extra but if you don't realize it's on there already, you'd be tipping more than 50%.
