50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Newton Highlands

“My favorite burritos in the Boston area, and quality is always consistent from Cambridge to Brookline to Newton over the past dozen years. I love it and will keep coming back!

But don't order online. Last time it took me over an hour after I ordered to actually get the food, waiting there in the restaurant for more than a half hour. If I had gone straight to the counter it would have taken 5 minutes.

Edit: If I could wish for just one change to the menu, it would be to have a vegan protein similar to Chipotle sofritas. Otherwise you just have beans, rice, and vegetables - which are pretty good, but not as satisfying.

But Anna's has the best variety of meat options, including three kinds of chicken. The pollo ranchero keeps me coming back despite my goal of limiting meat in my diet, it's just too good! And when in season, the agua fresca is second to none - horchata is quite good too.“

“Service was attentive, respectful and quick, food was reasonably priced for what my wife and I ordered and delicious, atmosphere/decor were nice for the area and not far from our hotel. Will definitely return again when we're back in town!“

“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.“

“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 👍“

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

“The best Mexican in a hundred-mile radius. The tacos are my favorite, and the team is friendly and professional. The setting fits the street-taco character, but definitely try the plates, tortas, and burritos. I've been a customer for a decade and hope to be for decades more!“

“I have been to Patzacuaro no less than 40 times and every single time the food is phenomenal. The servers could not be more polite and they have an excellent spicy margarita. I go out to eat quite a bit and this is my favorite restaurant in the greater boston area.“

“The food was so delicious and the margaritas were the best. But the night was really topped off with having such an amazing server. Ask for Gilly. If ever in Boston make this a must!“

“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!“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

“Best authentic Mexican food“

“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“

“Not sure if the opinion of a very pasty Mainer counts for much;but the tacos and guacamole were the best we have ever had! Food was great and the service was phenomenal! We had the sweetest waitress! Will be back as soon as possible! ❤️❤️“

“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.“

“The birria tacos where so good can’t wait to come back and they have really good service!!! 5 stars!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Came to Boston for a convention for my son and came across this restaurant. No lie the best burrito and carnitas I have ever had!!!! Will definitely be back“

“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!!“

“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!“

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.“

“I celebrated my 52nd birthday today with my daughter. Our service was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Our law firm had a great meal here with excellent service and food. It's a good spot for business lunches or client meetings.“

“I’ve overlooked this place for far too long! Everything I ordered was delicious!! And not too expensive either.“

“Good Food and Good Vibe my favorite thing of Mexico lindo is the tacos al pastor the sangria and the fried ice cream 😍😋👍👏🏻👏🏻💯💯“

“Their AL Pastor tacos are excellent my goto.“

“the best mexican food“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and service“

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

“We love coming here. Large dining area with plenty of seating. Flavors and portion size are great for the price. My favorite is the coconut shrimp specialty burrito. My daughter likes their Al pastor burrito. The quesadillas are great as well! Picture of my grandson holding our to go burrito :)“

“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!“

“1. Ordering from the mobile app is so easy and efficient.2. Our order was ready for pickup before the suggested time.3. Upon entering the store, the crew member greeted and helped us with the pickup right away.4. Our order was accurate and well-packed. The bowl was delicious and comforting! The loaded tortillas soup bowl is my all time favorite!!“

“I had visited post-lunch (~2pm). The prices (I think) are pretty reasonable (compared to places like other nearby Korean places (granted Coreanos advertises both Korean and Korean fusion). I ordered a small order (about 6 wings, plenty for one serving) of Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken wings and dined in. It comes with a side of pickled radish which is a nice palate cleanser especially for something like Korean Fried Chicken. It was still fresh from the fryer and plenty juice with a crispy batter and a flavorful sauce. I definitely want to come back to try some of their other dishes. I feel like it is also a good place to give some Korean dishes a try without overspending.“

“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.“

“I really like this little place. After growing up in Texas, it’s hard to find Mexican food that really hits the spot. This does. It’s simple. Everything we’ve tried is tasty. The decor is cute and the patio is decent. Sure, it could be a bit more affordable. Some portions (like the burritos) are a good deal for the price and some (like the tacos) are a little bit too small. It evens out. It’s Boston area and unfortunately that’s life these days. And so frequently places charge these same prices for far more mediocre fare. So, for Orale, I’ll accept. I always leave too stuffed and happy to be too bothered about the price anyway.“
