Mexican Restaurants near Newtonville

“Nathan Parham, the manager saved the dinner tonight. One of my twin was not happy about his food and refused to eat and Nathan was very quick to remake his dinner to saved the day. We appreciate his customer service skills. This is the leadership we are grateful to witness. Thank you and your hard working staff at this location. We come here at least twice a week for dinner!“

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

“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.“

“Really nice flavor on the carnitas and cabeza, solid lengua, and terrible carne asada tacos. Would say these tacos are smaller than used to (probably could get at this size and price in Manhattan which is saying something) so would just keep that in mind when ordering“

“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 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.“

“Excellent food and service“

“The Mexican food in this place is AWESOME! My friends and I get a really great experience there, every single dish thaw we tried was phenomenal! You have to try the avocado cheese cake, is my favorite there!! Service was great and the spot makes you feel like in a real Mexican restaurant.“

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

“Five enthusiastic stars! I would give more if I could! The burrito lives up to the hype, and I love that they offer it in various sizes to accommodate different appetites. The salsa is perfectly spicy. And the service is phenomenal! Family owned and run establishment. No wonder they’ve been around for years and maintain stellar reviews. I can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“I liked the burger. Truffle Gorgonzola fries were ok— I liked the fries, but didn’t really like the sauce. Stomach felt a little funny after, but not sure if that was the burger or fries.

Food came quick. Space was clean and small but not crowded.

Parking lot out back had multiple spaces available and was $1.35/hr. There’s some 2 hr free spots a few blocks down but you have to parallel park. Some 1 hr free spots closer to the restaurant but those were almost all taken Saturday lunch hour.“

“tienes que probar papaito“

“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.“

“This was the first dinner spot on our trip to Boston. It was a great time and the waiter was friendly, professional and extremely courteous. Everything was delicious and trust me we tried a lot of things off the menu. A must have for sure is the street corn. Omg you will LOVE it!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious with quick friendly service. Gracias“

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Sydney gave my wife and myself the best time of our lives, man. She is the definition of a great waitress. This was our first time here, and I will definitely be back just because of her.

Plus, now we know they have all you can eat on Mondays, plus this have all you can eat brunch. $29 is not a bad idea at all.“

“One word... portions. For $17 I received 3 very small Birrea Tacos.
4 stars because the staff was friendly and the tacos were good but I cannot justify spending that much money and still being hungry. I would have to double the portion to be satisfied and I mostly write this review in hopes the owner sees it. I understand Cambridge rents can be high but... idk.. it's unlikely I'll go back.“

“My Favorite Mexican spot! Food is always good, fast and courteous wait staff“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“love the food. love the patio. love the family environment.“

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

“The best. The food is fantastic and authentic. I have been coming here every year when in Chelsea since 2021 for either lunch or dinner. I have never been disappointed!! If in Chelsea, MA -- give it a try!!“

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

“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.“

“The chicken bowl was excellent. The server was friendly and welcoming, offering churros, which are not on the menu but are a family favorite. These are were warm, crispy on the outside, and chewy on the inside. We'll be back often.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Service was great. Food arrived quickly. The Barbacoa was so good I got another one.“

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

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

“Food was good. Plantains were delicious as were the churros. Horchata was a nice treat. The only complaint I have is they began cleaning the floors while we were eating and the overpowering smell of cleaner was ruining our experience so we had to take our food outside to better enjoy it.“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“One of my dad and I’s favorite places to go in Somerville. Food is always excellent and so is the service! The owner is very welcoming and always recognizes us when we stop in :) Today I couldn’t remember what I usually get but he remembered, and also gave my dad some good recommendations of something new to get. Thank you!!“
