5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Newton

“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.“

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

“food was great and service line moved right aling“

“Many of the negative reviews are from delivery orders, so how about visiting in person? I order about once or twice a month, and I usually get a carnitas bowl with assorted veggies and plantains (as you can see in this pic). I opt for no rice or beans, but get some refried beans. A+ for customization.“

“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.“
