50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Needham

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

“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.“

“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 👍“

“The food is fresh and tasty and well-prepared and a great value. I love eating here because there's no pretension. The folks who run the place believe that a restaurant isn't just about the $s; it's about being part of, and enhancing a community. Oh, and did I say the food was really good?“

“This is one of those places you don’t want to review because you want to keep it your own little secret. This is by far my favorite Mexican food in North America and I lived in San Francisco for 20+ years. Wonderful family-operated business and the food is perfect.“

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

“Love Tu y Yo in Somerville but quite a drive for us. This has the same owners and much of the same menu and is much closer. This restaurant was wonderful! My favorites are the cactus salad, the tamales, plantains, and birria tacos. Mole wasn't my favorite, and pozole was good but a bit salty. Staff were really friendly and welcoming! Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars because their veggie taco, quesadilla, and all of their salsas were so good. However, the veggie tamales were sadly quite dry and had too much corn for the amount of filling.

I will certainly be back because everything else was too tier. I’d highly recommend checking this place out, but based on my experience today, avoid the veggie tamales.“

“Chimichangas! Absolutely love Acapulcos, and this one has a nice charm to it, as it's a little smaller than others that I've visited. You can always tell a Mexican restaurant's worth by their chimichanga, and they do it well.“

“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.“

“the best mexican food“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“THIS IS IT!!! As a San Diegan I have tried everywhere in boston and enjoyed great Salvadoran, Honduran, and Puerto Rican food but have not found great Baja Mexican or even good Mexican in general that remind me of home. This is the spot. This brought tears to my eyes on homesick day. I just need them to sell carne asada in their catering section or by the pound and I’d purchase weekly. Thank you for your service 🫡 this is truly the one thing I’m missing in my life having moved to Boston.“

“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!“

“Qdoba is a franchise chain of quick service Mexican food, serving up burritos, bowls, and tacos near the Linden Square area of Wellesley.

We typically get the tacos and bowls. The portion size is good, with the tacos usually overflowing with ingredients. They also don't charge for guacamole here, which is an added bonus. The flavors are good and it tastes great, and the queso dip they use for their chips is creamy and tastes good.“

“great food and excellent service. very much recommend“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Located right in Mass ave with street parking. It was a holiday so I had no trouble finding a spot for my car. The inside reminded me of Mexico with lots of decoration that placed me south of the border. The seating for about twenty people. As I entered I faced the bar with tables along the front window.

I had the burrito which I thought was average in size. The filling was limited. Tell me where they find the savings?

At the end of my meal, I had to ask for the check. This is the most important part of the meal. My table was right near the bar so the waiter could see me.

I would return if I had a hankering for Mexican food.“

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

“Excellent atmosphere inside and out“

“Amazing food. The place to go if you want to find mouth watering tastie food.“

“We ordered delivery from this place and everything arrived super hot and fresh! The pricing was extremely reasonable and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The steak fajitas were made with high-quality meat, came in a huge portion, and included guac plus amazing homemade tortillas. The steak quesadilla was also a great size and really delicious. We also tried the buffalo chicken empanadas and loved them - the tortilla was thick, soft, and flavorful. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“We recently visited Acapulco Restaurant and we ordered the enchiladas, shrimp in tomato sauce, and quesadillas for the kids and the food was so amazing. Everything had excellently crafted flavors that can only be described as cooked with love. This place is a hidden gem and we’ll be coming back for sure. Oh and the margaritas were on point too!“

“This was a wonderful meal! You can taste the love in the food and feel the passion in the bright artwork that surrounds you 💗“

“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 :-)“
