50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wakefield

“The absolute best authentic tacos EVER! Several choices for meat and SO well seasoned! They have American style tacos too if you need all the extra stuff like tomato, cheese and lettuce but their traditional style is just AWESOME!“

“The best in the Wakefield area!!“

“This was the best Mexican restaurant i have ever been too. Classic margarita was amazing, 3 different tacos and the skirt steak with fresh quacmole, beans and rice. The 3 sauces with chips were delish“

“THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST GEMS TO A PLACE THAT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO EVEN SET A FOOT IN. I'VE BEEN TO THIS PLACE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, SINCE PANDEMIC HAVE NOT GONE. WE FINALLY WENT, THE MINUTE I WALKED IN THE PERSON AT CASHIER SAID WHEN YOUR READY TO ORDER YOU COME HERE, BLINDED BY IT AS IS A RESTAURANT NOT A FAST FOOD SPOT I LOOKED AT HER AND ASK FOR THE MENU SHE LOOKS AT ME AND POINTS INFRONT OF HER TO GO GET IT MIND YOU, THERE ARE 3 OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO WORK THERE .....I LET IT PASS AND TRIED TO GIVE THIS PLACE A SECOND CHANCE COMING BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK AS THE FOOD ACTUALLY WAS GOOD THE WEEK PRIOR. WELL SERVICE WAS ONLY WORSE THIS TIME AROUND, THE WOMAN AT CASHIER LOOKED BOTHER BY JUST BEING THERE TAKING OUR ORDER AS THE TIME PRIOR OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO ALSO WORKED THERE STANDING JUST THERE. WE GET OUR FOOD REALIZING I GOT CORN TORTILLAS ASKED IF THEY CAN BE SWITCHED TO FLOURONE OF THE EMPLOYEES RESPONSE WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM THERE GOING TO THE TRASH AND I AM LOOKING AT HER LIKE OKAY IS FINE CAN I PAY FOR AN EXTRA ORDER OF TORTILLAS OF FLOUR. THE AMOUNT OF DISPLEASSURE THESE WOMAN HAVE BEING THEIR IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SERVED, ASIDE FROM THE FOOD FEELING SO RUSH THIS TIME AROUND AS WE GOT THERE AT 8 THEY CLOSED AT 10PM. I UNDERSTAND RESTAUTANT INDUSTRY IS NOT EASY BUT FOR ME TO GO TO AND SPEND MY MONEY IN A PLACE THAT FEELS SO FORCED TO WORK IS NOT WORTH MY TIME NOR MONEY.“

“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.“

“When your breakfast just hits the spot & the nostalgia kicks in. Never disappointed when we come. Same timeless flavors today as they were 14 years ago. We have eaten here numerous times of the past 14 years Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. This location has very intimate seating for about 25 people. If your coming on the weekend expect a wait. Well worth it ! We have eaten everything on the menu and our most recent visit was for breakfast. Everything on the menu is delicious and flavorful! Orange juice is freshly squeezed and just like everything else , it's delicious. Service is amazing it's nice to see the same faces. Everytime we have come we never wait very long for our food to come out. My go to is the Centro Americano brings back so many memories from my childhood. The scrambled eggs with chorizo, the plátano maduro, queso fresco , avocado and the frijoles the tortillas Mmmmmmm. My husband always likes the Chilaquiles with green sauce. If you want traditional American breakfast they have that also. So this is a stop for everyone! Hope you get to enjoy a meal here and make memories like we do .“

I am Mexican living in Boston and it is really difficult to find a good place for Mexican food… Spectacular seasoning, delicious sauces and they DO taste hot! Super affordable prices! The incredible attention, they are very kind, thank you very much GOD bless you!“

“Great food with great service! Very filling and was cooked very authentically like a mom’s cooking. My favorite comfort food to eat so far in revere. Very clean kitchen and lobby. Everytime I drive from NY to BOS I have to make a stop here. It definitely compliments Revere beach. Keep it up!“

“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!“

“first time there and the food was 😋“

“I’m from Los Angeles and this ranked with some of the best Mexican food there.“

“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!!“

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

“10/10 would recommend!@ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“First time, wife and I had chicken nachos and tacos de birria. Everything was delicious and great. Definitely going back and this is our new place 😊“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Their AL Pastor tacos are excellent my goto.“

“Great service food delicious“

“Everything we have ordered has been fabulous - burritos, quesadillas, tacos, beans, enchiladas.....Homemade chips and guacamole are the best! All food is always fresh and tasty, and carefully prepared and packaged when we get delivery. The owners and staff are wonderful! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Small family owned taqueria with really generous portions of traditional Mexican comfort classics. I had the tacos al pastor on authentic soft corn tortillas and they were excellent. Our table started with a platter of enchiladas, some chorizo and some chicken, and they were also really good. There are only four tables for dining in, but it looks like many people get their food for delivery anyway.“

“This is a franchise but individually owned, which tends to make them hit or miss. This location is a hit! Top notch service with well-made delicious food. The servers are always very kind and friendly to me. I've never gotten a bad burrito here.“

“Buena atención y rico sabor de la comidas y licor margaritas muy buenas los Mojico deliciosos“

“The food was great, and the prices were reasonable. Unfortunately, the atmosphere did not match the quality of the food. While we were dining, we witnessed a supervisor speaking to a co-worker in an extremely inappropriate and humiliating manner — right in front of customers. It was a very uncomfortable and unprofessional scene that left a negative impression on our overall experience. Very disappointing to see such behavior in what could have been a great visit.
I can’t imagine how she treats her subalterns behind doors.“

“Buenos precios y sobre todo buena calidad en sus distintos platos“

“Parking was a challenge but worth it.“

“Love everything, from warm chips and salsa to entrees and delicious drinks.“

“Love The Food Margaritas and Vibe 😋“

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

“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!!“
