17 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Somerville

“Wow I can't get enough! Flavors hit the spot every time! You can tell they use good ingredients. Get the California, tater totes in your burrito, so good! you'll thank me later

A year later and the food and service is still the same and awesome! Love this place!“

“Amazing food. The place to go if you want to find mouth watering tastie food.“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“Great spot for a quick bite. Never fails to produce a tasty burrito with great additions. I love getting a jumbo spicy steak with the cilantro lime rice and all the other toppings. It's been a weekly staple for my food rotation and I look forward to one of those tasty rolled up packages of goodness every time!“

“Although this place no longer exists in the heart of Harvard Square, which was the mother location, sadly closed after the pandemic but two other locations have remained open one in Burlington and one in saugus. Always agree time and very accommodating to larger parties. Free chips and salsa and refills aren't necessarily something that every restaurant does anymore and if you're looking for a simple fun and tasty snack on meal this place is worth it. Fans of country music and blues music will love this place because they have been loyal to the music they've been playing over there sound system the last 30 some odd years. There's really no other Mexican / Cajun restaurant like the Border Cafe so if you ever on route 1 or find yourself in Burlington Mass or want to make the trip, if anything it's definitely a fun place to go.“

“This taco truck is located directly outside of Lynn-way Liquors! My girlfriend and I come here all the time! The el pastor is delicious but the Tortas are AMAZING! 100% recommended. It’s a little pricy if you’re feeding 3+ people but the quality is all there!“

“the best mexican food“

“It was to long since my last visit. I used to go when I worked in the area. It was nice to be back. Love the flavors. Nothing is fancy but it has flavor. I was sad the French Quarter Chicken recipe has changed but it was still good. Great casual eats for a reasonable price.“

“The staff at Santa Fe Melrose was very kind and accommodating for our dance team fundraiser last week. Thank you so much! Our family also frequently orders from here. The food and drinks are great!“

“Came here after some Newburry street exploring. Only a 10 minute drive. The food was delicious, and fresh. The nachos were some of the best I've ever had along with the white queso.
The staff was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be stopping by when I am in the area!“

“Amazing food and great service. We tried this cozy little restaurant last week and can not stop talking about how amazing the food is, especially the Chicken Nachos! Everything is made fresh, and not smothered in cheese so it is healthier but not lacking any flavor. We can’t wait to go back.“

“Great food, friendly service!“

“Yummy yum yum, sooo good. My younger sister advised they I try this place and let me tell you it did not disappoint. They let me try the chicken and steak on my first visit. I decided to go with the steak and make a bowl. It was sooo good, I ended up going back the next day for another bowl.“

“Love the place, and food is just delicious!“

“Beantown has $2 tacos on Tuesdays all day, and they really hit the spot! The salsas are addictingly spicy and the tacos have plenty of juicy meat filling. After trying a number of different meats, I've decided that fish and shrimp are my favorites -- they are $1 more expensive per taco, but worth it. The seafood is tender and flavorful.

It gets busy on Tuesday evenings but I'll continue to come for my Taco Tuesday fix!“

“I’ve been here a few times recently and every time has been perfect. No problems with customer service, as clean as a mall can be, but more importantly, the food is better than any other Taco Bell I’ve had in the state. That seems ridiculous but I’m not exaggerating. I thought Taco Bell was going downhill until I came here and realized that it was just those other places. I wanted to write a review purely for that reason.“
