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

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

“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.“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“Cool place , I love the music and the service“

“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.“

“Amazing service, atmosphere and food. They had so many reservations but we're able to fit our little 2 person reservation in on a side table. Highly recommend the flank steak fajitas. I really enjoyed the open air abilities of the restaurant too. They can open all the windows and it feels like everyone is at an outside restaurant.“

“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!!“

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

“Great food, good hours, open consistently. Kind people. Good for a quick late-night bite when you just don't want to cook.

The portions are big. Plan to bring some home.

There is a discount for cash. Don't forget to ask!“

“I recently tried Don Julio Restaurant in Somerville for a to-go order, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! While it may not be your typical sit-down restaurant experience, the Al Pastor burrito stole the show. It was packed with flavor and definitely worth every penny. The papusas were another highlight; they were delicious and satisfying.The staff was friendly, and my order was ready on time, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Don Julio Restaurant is a solid choice for a quick bite or takeout in Somerville. I highly recommend trying their Al Pastor burrito—it's a must-have!“

“fenomanal phood! Solid pupusas!“

“me gusta la comida. pero hoy dia casi me.infarto.cuando pregunte que valia cada cosa no sabe ni explicar y se enredan en sus mentiras. deberian tener cajeras que sepan. no que cobren como les ronca la gana. se me hace carisimo. pagar casi 30 dolares por un plato con una piernita de pollo y arroz. sin nada mas. y un plato con carne guisada y arroz. sin nada mas . 2 refrescos sin ensaladas ni nada y resulta que al pedir resibo ni saben como imprimirlo. y LO PEOR QUE NO DETALLA QUE COBRARON .ESO SE HACE UN COBRO ABUSIVO DE ESAS CAJERAS MALEDUCADAS. PAGUEN BIEN Y CONTRATEN GENTE QUE SEPA TRABAJAR. NO ROBAR DE ESA MANERA“

“One of the best Salvadoran restaurants, a super authentic and good flavor, a very clean and pleasant place, I will definitely return!!!

“We came here for dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We tried the Birria Taco, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco, pork taco, Nachos steak fried, Pupuas and Churros. The Birria taco was juicy and tender. Pupuas was cheesy and delicious. We also tried some tequila and margaritas. Everything was great. Would come back“

“I am from Mexico, born and raised. This place has flavorful burritos, with a great variety of protein and toppings. My favorite protein options are the pork in green chili sauce, birria and chicken. The portions are generous; you won't leave hungry! The staff members are excellent, fast, courteous and skilled.“

“Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you — Tulum Mexican Cuisine is a hidden gem! I had the best chicken mole ever — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The margaritas were outstanding, and the bartenders and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere inside is warm and vibrant, the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable in. From the outside it might look like a dive bar, but inside it’s pure charm and great food. Highly recommend!“
