50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Needham

“Delicious! Now have 2 locations in Needham. My new favorite spot for Mexican 😁“

“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! 💚“

“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 👍“

“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.“

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

“It's definitely on the more expensive side of Mexican food throughout the Boston area. Nevertheless service had no faults, and the food was incredible. The Birria Tacos and Nachos are a must-try. Also, there wasn't a wait for my table but if you come at six or seven, there will probably be a wait.“

“Let me put it you this way, I’m Mexican born and raised in Los Angeles. I have been looking for an authentic Mexican spot since I moved to Boston four years ago and I finally found it here 🥲 everything is delicious, the salsas can be made spicier if you ask for it, and the staff are super friendly. If you’re like me looking for a piece of home I recommend coming here no questions asked“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“Sol Azteca never disappoints! A Cadillac Margherita on a summer evening on the terrace? chef's kiss!“

“Hidden gem! Classic bar with insanely good cocktails and food but keeping it real. Beet salad could compete with any high end restaurant. Smash burger and fries - no words. Oh pickle plate is a must - classic sweet to the unexpected root veg and snow pea mix. Great beers new and old. The bartender Mike brings it. He's cool and chill and makes the best subtle recommendations. Great fun to talk with. Great music, great vibe. Already planing a trip back for the reuben. Simple menu done right.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“the best mexican food“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Food is incredibly delicious! I came here with my family (10 of us) and they accommodated us comfortably. The service was excellent and genuine. At the end of our meals, they offered us churros on the house which were rich and creamy. 10/10 Recommendation!“

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

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here after some Newburry street exploring. Only a 10 minute drive. The food was delicious, and fresh. The nachos were some of the best I've ever had along with the white queso.
The staff was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be stopping by when I am in the area!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“food was great and service line moved right aling“

“great food and excellent service. very much recommend“

“Excellent atmosphere inside and out“

“Excellent food, service and welcoming space! This was probably our 5th time eating at Condesa and it is consistent. Plenty of free garage parking. Greeted warmly, seated quickly in a buzzing atmosphere with nice decor. There's a bar, high tops, booths and tables by the windows. We've had Diego A. as our server multiple times and he is fabulous! Plenty of cocktails or beer to choose from - excellent margarita's btw. The food is delish - nice menu of options and if you have a question or special food requirement, it's not a problem at all. Very reasonably priced too. It's definately part of our restaurant rotation when we want a nice dining experience and terrific food. Kudos to the entire management and staff!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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 :-)“

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

“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.“

“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.“
