20 Best Mexican Restaurants in Somerville

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

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

“We came for a conference here in Lowell and it broke out for lunch and thousands of people were looking for a place to eat all at once so it was super super busy and the line was long but the gentleman who was the server, the bus boy and everthing else all in one... did a fantastic job.. all with a smile and great service. The food was one of the best I've had in a Mexican restuaruant as well so I know the cooks know what they are doing. I can not get over how one man got everything done with such an amazing attitude. I hope noone complains about the wait because the service and food were outstanding.“

“Delicious margarita Excellent fajitas Terrific 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.“

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

“Amazing evening with delicious food and tasty drinks! Everything we ordered from the table side guacamole, Brussels sprout salad, tacos, margarita and sangria flights and dessert were incredible!
It’s also set up so beautifully inside so I’m already planning another dinner there next week.“

“I get a burrito bowl pretty much every day. Best place ever and prices are good!! Miss the punch card system though“

“Los Paisanos is my FAVORITE place to eat in Somerville! All of the food is authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced! My favorite dishes are Tacos de Pascado (Fish Tacos) and the Pupusas which are always made fresh to order and I travel from Back Bay to Somerville to eat here, that’s how awesome the food is! The restaurant is very clean, great service, there is always plenty of comfortable seating, and the atmosphere works for both casual eating or a casual date, groups, and is family friendly. (I personally prefer the food here to the food at Taco Loco just my personal opinion)

Vegetarian options: You can ask any dish to be made without meat.“

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

“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!“

“The food here is better than taco loco because of the significant bigger portion size (not stingy like taco loco), the beef is not soggy (loco's meat taste like saddness), service is better (because the employees aren't overworked), more toppings. The only downside is the price but the significant larger portion size makes up for it. When I go to loco, I'm always disappointed about the lack of protein.

Maya: more expensive, flavor, larger portion size, less fluent employees

Loco: cheaper, blander, small portion size, more fluent employees so usually better customer service

Choose your poison“

“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“

“fenomanal phood! Solid pupusas!“

“This place has actually gotten better over the years. The tacos are really inventive and the rice and beans are very flavorful. Spot itself is unpretentious and casual. Food comes out quickly. One of our favorite easy stops after a workday in the area.“

“Anna’s has always been a classic. Still sad to see it leave Brookline, but glad to see they’re still true to their original mission. They deliver excellent burritos, bowls, tacos, you name it! If you’re down for some Mexican food I would definitely come here for a quick bite!“

“My comfy spot Staff is fabulous!“

“Exceeded every expectation, delivering an unforgettable dining experience that felt like a journey to paradise. From the very first bite, it was clear that each dish was crafted with utmost care and attention to flavor, balance, and presentation. Every plate was a celebration of fresh, bold flavors that left me savoring each moment. The drinks? Pure artistry! Perfectly mixed, refreshing, and thoughtfully paired to bring out the best in every dish.

And the desserts… they were simply sublime, the ideal finish to an extraordinary meal. I can’t overstate how impressive the ambiance was, transporting and beautifully curated to complete the experience. Tulum is more than just a meal—it’s a must-visit destination for anyone craving excellence. Five stars just don’t seem enough!“
