“I'm gonna start with I can't eat Mexican food in the Boston area because I think it's only a few above chipotle. But this is the best food I've had since I ate in California. The birria ramen which ive been dying to try was incredible. I literally have been talking to my friends and family about it all day. My only complaint is I didn't order enough to take home.“

“I love Taqueria El Barrio! Their tacos are delicious and the service is great.❤️

Their tortillas are handmade which really differentiates them from other places.

Pro Tip: You can purchase their tortillas at Formaggio and store them in your freezer. I always have a pack around my home and use them to make quesadillas.“

Very recommended!!!!“

“I love it!!! Hidden gem. Food is really tasty and I feel I’m eating something really healthy. FISH TACOS MY FAVORITE“

“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!!“

“I can't believe I hadn't been here sooner!! Stopped for take out for the first time this week and service was quick, warm and friendly.

I beelined it for the BIRRIA TACOS which had excellent reviews online and I now agree and award Dora's with the OVERALL BEST COMBO AWARD (if there was one 😂).

Amazing. Filled (yes, filled) with juicy meat, no meat fat to ruin a random bite of your food, cheese and all other simple, delicious goodness. Then, the consume is actually perfectly tasty 😭 you'll want to dip your tacos in it constantly just bc you couldn't possibly think of letting it go to waste!

Looking forward to many returns 😉

P.s. Sweet plantains on the side is the cherry on top 😋“

“Amazing food and great service. We tried this cozy little restaurant last week and can not stop talking about how amazing the food is, especially the Chicken Nachos! Everything is made fresh, and not smothered in cheese so it is healthier but not lacking any flavor. We can’t wait to go back.“

“everything ist fine there“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service, and AMAZING food. We drove an hour to try it, and are already making excuses to come back to try the delicious sounding brunch menu.“

“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!“

“Tacos are my favourite food and these, by far, are the best tacos I’ve ever had.“

“Absolutely criminal that this place only has 3.5 stars. I went here April 3rd & April 28th before going to house of blues for a concert. Hit both times. Is it expensive? Yes, but when has sushi from a restaurant been cheap? When has eating out in a city been cheap? Value is there. I really talked this place up and when I brought my SIL there the second time we went and she agreed. Her word was “impressive”. If this place was closer to home I would have a budget problem. Nori tacos are a “can’t miss” and the avocado roll is the best I’ve ever had. Seriously good eats.“

“We hired Mi Corazon Taqueria for our customer appreciation event. Everyone loved the food and the service. They are professional and friendly and their food trailer is spotless. Food was amazing! Highly recommend.“

“an item from my order was omitted which I didn't realize until already home. I submitted feedback on the Taco Bell website and got a phone call from the manager the very next day, apologizing and inviting me back so they can make it right! It's great to see such good customer service - accidents do happen but what really matters if whether they make it right which they did above and beyond.“

“First off…. 5 stars !!! Tiny store, small menu, basically birria tacos, burritos… I got the #1, three beef birria tacos with cheese, a little diced red onion, cilantro… and the birria consume sauce. Absolutely incredible.. fresh corn tortillas, made crispy on the flat top, the cheese was gooey… the meat was tender, flavorful… just pulled apart. If you are in America…. Go here… seriously.“
