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

“It was my first time here and I absolutely loved it! 🌮✨ We had enchiladas and horchata, and everything was delicious. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is beyond amazing. The staff is so kind, friendly, and attentive.
The best part was when they found out it was my friend’s birthday and surprised us by celebrating with a Mexican song 🎶🎉 It was such a special and unforgettable moment. They really made us feel valued. This place is now one of my favorites. Highly recommended! 💚“

“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.“

“Patzcuaros is literally the best Mexican place I have been around the Boston area. Tacos are always fresh and delicious and the Margaritas are the best I have ever taste in the whole state of Massachusetts. This is coming from someone that has tried many, if not all Mexican restaurants around the area. One of my favorite restaurants in the area. Also, the service is always on top. Bravo! Please, keep the same energy and quality.“

“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 👍“

“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“

“Nachlo is truly one of the best spots in Boston. The food is absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every dish tastes homemade and full of character. The owners are amazing and genuinely kind, and the staff is just as warm and welcoming. You can really feel the passion behind this place. The atmosphere is lively, cozy, and just such a great vibe overall. I cannot recommend it enough!“

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

“Consistently great food! Best sangria and margaritas around! Love the staff, love the environment. We’ve been going there for years! I highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Looking for dinner options along Moody Street and this was an easy choice. I've been to Dallas and had a fun evening in their Deep Ellum neighborhood so why would I skip the opportunity to try it again.

Lots of options here, considering we have meat eaters, pescatarians and kosher eaters in the group tonight. We started off with a plate of their pickles and they were fabulous. With it, beers! Including a draft German beer for me and a tin of a non-alcoholic for Mrs. K.

For main, I chose the Italian sandwich and it was fabulous. Well loaded and very tasty if perhaps a little messy. But that's what napkins are for. Mrs. K. chose the grilled cheese and said it was excellent.

Great service here and we had a fabulous evening. Five stars!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Wooooow! Wife and I are visiting from SC and both agreed that we’d turn into regulars here if we lived in Boston. The birria was maybe the best I’ve ever had, guac was so fresh, and the service was excellent. We have Abuela’s marked on our map for our next visit to Boston, we’ll be back!!!“

“the best mexican food“

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

“Had one of the greatest birthday dinners here! We had a large group for Mucho Monday, and it did not disappoint. They accommodated my allergy to alliums, and they even made a special watermelon margarita (off-menu) just fie us! 10/10 would highly recommend.“

“The guacamole tasty like pure lemons. It was aweful. When we informed them how bad the guacamole tasted... the lady who made it became very upset and rolled her eyes at me the reminder of the visit here. They make guacamole in front of you. Another waiter made the 2nd batch which was excellent l. Beautiful view of golf course“

“One of the top taco spots in Boston. You can see them make their own tortillas in the store, and so far everything I've tried from asada, to lengua to birria has been delicious.

FYI if you carry cash you get a discount!“

“I LOVE Yucatan Tacos! The taco shell salad is so good! I also love the quesadillas and burritos. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always the best food!“

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

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

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“Taco-Mex served food at a party we went to and it was very fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and accommodating. Lots of choices and so yummy. Highly recommended.“

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

“Lockheart offers delicious, affordable food. Appetizers include yummy street corn and sliders (three perfect little cheese burgers). Great variety of their gourmet tacos. Their guacamole is fabulous. Always excellent, friendly service. Efficient and kind staff! Great eating at tables or booths or having food and drinks at the bar. The two TV screens at the bar often show sports with the sound off.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing mole!!! In three trips, haven’t been disappointed yet 😁😁😁“

“Had a solid burrito bowl here. Reasonably priced and decent food. To be honest, West Coast taquerias are a league beyond this place, but I am rating on the basis that this is a local chain whose competition is really Chipotle and not authentic taquerias.“

“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!“

“Awesome takeouts from Mi Finca for DateNite last night!!! The Mi Finca Shrimp Chimichangas Dinner was incredibly DELICIOUS!!!! We paired the food w/ some homemade spicy margaritas :-)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Very good taqueria in a great location in Coolidge Corner, with metered street parking nearby.

Pleasant interiors, comfortable seating, clean restrooms. Fresh and tasty food in generous portions, friendly service, fair prices.

Yet not 5 stars because there are no fountain drinks and they don’t serve water for those who stay away from sugary drinks. Also no WiFi (for those of us who need to work on a laptop around lunch break). They play upbeat music in Spanish that is too loud and unsettling. The music makes you want to eat quickly and leave, which may be why most people just grab and go.“

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

“great food and excellent service. very much recommend“

“Best burritos in the Boston area. Better than Anna's and Boca grande“

“Todo de verdad y la comida excelente mi hija me compró unos tacos y estaban super ricos“

“This was my first meal back in the U.S. after a year living in Italy, and as someone who genuinely misses good Mexican food, Acapulco was a very welcome return. The dining room feels old-school in the best way, comfortable, familiar, and clearly rooted in the neighborhood rather than chasing trends.
The chips and salsa set the tone immediately: crisp chips and a salsa with real depth and heat, not watered down or forgettable. The chicken tamales were comforting and well-seasoned, with tender filling and a sauce that actually carried flavor. The beef burrito was generous and satisfying, the kind of plate that reminds you why this style of Mexican food is so missed when you live abroad.
Nothing here is trying to be reinvented, and that’s exactly why it works. Solid, confident Mexican cooking in a long-standing Jamaica Plain spot that knows what it does well.“

“Great authentic Mexican food! Not your average Mexican restaurant“

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

“Chilacates is a chain of quick service Mexican restaurants around the Boston area. The food is made fresh, and ranges in style such as Birria Tacos and more.

We ordered takeout, and we got the birria taco and some nachos. The nachos were good, not overly spicy but had a good flavor and wasn't soggy from the cheese on top. We though the Birria taco was a little bit lacking, as it felt flat and not similar to other birria tacos we had, and the flavors weren't entirely there. Portions were also a bit expensive for what we got.“

“I know this place is about to go CRAZY on half days. Chipotle has nothing on Fuego 🔥The vegetarian burrito I had was absolutely fantastic. The housemade queso and spicy salsa was just 👩‍🍳🤌💋 fantastic. Both of the guys on shift were so kind and friendly. I definitely will be going back soon!“

“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.“

“Overall 9.1/10. Food was awesome. Good value for the amount. I was pretty full. Bowl was delicious. Definitely would go back.
bulgogi coreanos bowl 9.3/10
Shrimp tempura kimbap 9.0/10
Sweet garlic chicken 8.9/10
Fritas kimchi 8.7/10“

“food was great and service line moved right aling“
