We came for the pulque because it is one of the only places in Boston that serves it. Unfortunately the day we visited they were out of pulque. But in the end the food was very good, the atmosphere very good, and the customer service very good. We will return one day not only for the pulque but for the restaurant.

Had a really lovely evening there. After a bit of negotiation, We were seated at a delightful locale. The Mixologist was able to n/a modify one of their "signature cocktails" - Thank You, well done, and much appreciated. Our Server was a most helpful guide to the nicely diversified menu. Really tasty. Thank You.

Excellent food, highly recommend the arrachera tacos and the suivas. Guacamole and elote were pretty good apps. Service was pretty bad, not necessarily our server's fault but there were only two of them during a Sunday dinner rush of multiple parties. Will be returning though! hoping for quicker service next time.

I recently visited El Tacuba and tried the Taco de la Casa, and wow – it was amazing! The flavors were spot-on, and everything about it felt perfectly crafted. Although it's a bit pricey for a single taco, it's worth every penny. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better, and the service was impressively quick and fresh. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

I come here once a month. Great skinny marg, fun to sit at the bar for a date night or my husband and I bring my daughter and she loves to watch the kitchen area.
If you're looking for a restaurant that will transport your taste buds to Mexico with a side of fun, look no further. I recently dined at a new spot that serves up some seriously authentic Mexican small plates, and it’s got me dreaming of tacos in my sleep!
Let’s talk about the bar first. When you walk in, you're immediately greeted by Rael Clark, the bartender you didn’t know you needed in your life. This guy knows how to shake, stir, and pour with the best of them. His El Diablo Margarita? Absolute fire. A spicy kick that will make you forget about any troubles (or the fact that you still have work tomorrow). And if margaritas aren’t your thing, try the Fiddlehead IPA, which was so smooth it nearly convinced me I could become a beer connoisseur.
Now onto the food! I couldn’t resist diving into a plate of five tacos (because why would anyone settle for just one?). Each taco was like a mini flavor explosion. The **Costilla** with short rib, onions, and fresh cilantro made me wonder if I could ever eat short rib in any other form again. Then came the **Barbacoa**, beef and spicy goodness that whispered, “Just one more bite,” into my ear. The **Cameron** taco—fried shrimp, cabbage, and chipotle mayo—was basically a beach vacation for my mouth. The **Suadero** with beef brisket, onions, and cilantro had me questioning all my life decisions leading up to that moment. And the **De La Casa** with sirloin, bacon, and Chihuahua cheese? It had me sending thank-you texts to every chef in the kitchen.
But I couldn’t stop there. Oh no, I had to finish with the **Beef Picadillo Empanadas**. These little pockets of perfection were crispy on the outside, with a savory filling that made me briefly consider moving closer to this restaurant just for easy access.
In short, this place has it all: killer drinks, authentic flavors, and service so good you’ll be planning your next visit before you even leave. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation for Rael and the crew!

The flavor of the food is excellent although the serving size will leave you disappointed. The service was very spotty with drinks and food coming late
