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!“

“Family run restaurant located in an industrial area of Wakefield. Great food at good prices. Because they are off the beaten path, there is usually no waiting for a table.“

“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.“

“Patzcuaros is literally the best Mexican place I have been around the Boston area. Tacos are always fresh and delicious and the Margaritas are the best I have ever taste in the whole state of Massachusetts. This is coming from someone that has tried many, if not all Mexican restaurants around the area. One of my favorite restaurants in the area. Also, the service is always on top. Bravo! Please, keep the same energy and quality.“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“This has always been one of my go-to places, and I’ve loved coming here for years. Unfortunately, today’s visit was really disappointing and left a sour taste.
I was there to celebrate my partner’s birthday and mentioned that to our server, Jenny M, but it went completely unacknowledged. The restaurant was empty — we were the only guests — so I expected great service, but it was honestly the opposite.
She got my order wrong, and I had to call her over several times before she finally came to the table, rolling her eyes as she did. When I politely mentioned the appetizer mistake, she took the plate and, as she walked away, said, “What? Are you allergic to chicken?” — even though my main dish was chicken. The comment felt rude and unnecessary.
We’ve been loyal customers for years and chose this restaurant for a special occasion, but the service made it feel like a mistake. Even small gestures like turning the music up — something we’ve always enjoyed about the atmosphere — were ignored. We eventually played music from our phones just to lighten the mood.
This experience was really disappointing, especially knowing how great this place can be. I hope management addresses this, because loyal guests like us truly value the restaurant and want to see it live up to its usual standards.“

“Gave 5 stars even though this place only deserves 1. Unfortunately ANY other taqueria in Revere is better than this one which made me sad because Tulum has the nicest location. Let alone the fact that they bribed me to give a 5 star review or else they wouldn’t discount my overpriced meal. Honestly the quality of the restaurant made me wish I had stayed in bumper to bumper traffic on Revere Beach instead of pulling over to try something new. You couldn’t catch me there ever again, I’m sorry google reviews are just supposed to be honest.“

“The best!“

“Go for: Some of the best Mexican food in Boston at reasonable prices.

Avoid if: You didn't arrive hungry. You'll leave feeling satisfied, regardless.

Something surprising: The beautiful colors, murals, and decor truly typical of Mexico and unique in the city.

Reservation needed? Not usually. There may be a very short wait depending on the size of your party.

Overall . After eating here multiple times, every single dish has been great, with flavors that suggest they actually made most (if not all) of the dishes from scratch. They even serve breakfast. Most importantly, the service is always friendly and welcoming - you'll definitely want to return again and again.

“Warm hospitality you’d expect from a Cheers-like neighborhood bar where the staff knows your name & greets you with a smile Kudos to Jonathan for his kindness & recommending the Torta“

“Yes I am received very good attention from the people who are working there and the food was very good!“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“the best mexican food“

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

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

“One of the top taco spots in Boston. You can see them make their own tortillas in the store, and so far everything I've tried from asada, to lengua to birria has been delicious.

FYI if you carry cash you get a discount!“

“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!“

“Their AL Pastor tacos are excellent my goto.“

“Spending our 21st anniversary in Boston. Margaritas Revere really took care of us. If we ever make it back to Boston will definitely be dining at Margaita's Revere. Treated us like family. Sheila and Sean are awesome!! Thank you for making our anniversary amazing!!“

“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!!“

“10/10 would recommend!@ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I work in the area and i go to this location frequently. The staff is always super friendly and the portion sizes are excellent for the money considering it is right outside of North Station. I find that other places in the area are far more expensive and not quite as filling.“

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

“Delicious huevos rancheros! The plantains were a little too over cooked and would have more beans but they were absolutely delicious. I have also come for lunch and have tried their quesadillas as well which were also delicious. It is pricey and it’s a set amount of items per order, like minimum 2 tacos etc, so I don’t frequent. I find myself going to Tenoch Mexican more often because of flexibility in terms of ordering items separately etc.“

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

“Excellent food and service“

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

“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!!“

“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 😊“

“Food was outstanding. Service was as well. A great local place with very authentic food. A great find in Chelsea!“

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

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

“Wow this was amazing!!! The food is exceptional! I have not had good Mexican food in a long time and I’m so glad to have found this! I started with the Mexican nachos and got one of their tortas! I was so full but I wanted to eat more because it was so good!“

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

“Full portions, fair pricing, great quality, what more do you want.

Purchased a chicken quesadilla, mexican nachos, and chicken enchiladas. All three were very very good.

I think the nachos are the best Ive ever had, that’s how good they were. Got them with the beef and it was seasoned just right not too salty, most places use way too much salt. Very tender too. Huge sized nachos.

All 3 meals had ample amounts of clearly fresh guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Tortillas look like they are made in house.

All the food was extremely fresh with plenty of flavor.

Will definitely come back here.

Seems like a family run restaurant and were all very friendly. You know it is legit when all the other patrons are mexican and english is obviously a 2nd language for everyone.

Thank you!!!“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, love the tostadas, tacos and everything!“

“Went here last night for dinner with a few friends. sitting at the table the food & drinks were great! our waitress was amazing and we had a great time... I do not recommend sitting at the bar, after eating 2 of us decided to sit at the bar and order drinks, right of the bat the bartender Katie, was mad slamming things down and just major attitude. when we got our drinks we immediately noticed they were wrong, tasted weird etc. the bartender asked how they were and we told her they were bad and if she could remake them, let's just say after the new drinks we're made and we were happy, the night turned dark were this waiter referred to us as a bunch of N*ggers and that she would come over the counter at us. never again what a horrible embarrassing show she put on and made for this restaurant. all over the fact she had to remake drinks, that the manager even agreed didn't look right. we go here quite a bit and tbh we are great tippers because the drinks and staff are always great.. last night she got exact change to the penny and almost had everyone catching a case with her racial comments and actions. hopefully the manager fires her. their own waitresses were saying that Katie treats them just as bad. smh“
