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.“

“This is one of those places you don’t want to review because you want to keep it your own little secret. This is by far my favorite Mexican food in North America and I lived in San Francisco for 20+ years. Wonderful family-operated business and the food is perfect.“

“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.“

“Landed in Boston around breakfast time. Searched for a spot to have breakfast before heading out of town. This place was nice and cozy. Staff were very friendly. I had the Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo with spicy green sauce. I enjoyed the meal.

Food was great and plenty of flavor.“

“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!!“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“Been to cilantro’s a few times now, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. Everything is fresh and very delicious and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The prices are pretty great too… $13.50 for 3 Birria tacos is by far the best value I’ve seen outside of Mexico. Love cilantro’s!“

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

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

“Not only was the food amazing but so was the attention! Rocio was so friendly and attentive. We both got the aguachile and it was amazing, unlike other places it was more shrimp than vegetables which was a pleasant surprise. I have been here every Friday for three weeks in a row and will be planning to make it my weekly routine. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service“

“The food's great! The atmosphere is great! And one of the servers, Maria, is always pleasant company!“

“I’m consistent customer and I tend to get the same server every time. They tend to half scoop on reg servings, in addition to not being able to wrap a burrito properly. I just wish that they were more attentive when it comes to actual portions and wrapping.“

“This place is awesome! I’ve tried the quesadilla, burrito, enchiladas, and a bunch of apps. Everything tasted incredible. Tres leches cake was some of the best I’ve had
We originally weren’t going to eat here because the wait was long, but while we were walking by it looking for another place to eat, one of the servers waved at us to come back since a party was about to leave. Highly recommend this place!“

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

“The food here is delicious!!!!! 100/10. When you get that little bite of plantain, chicken tinga , rice and black bean, perfection! I absolutely recommend.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely delicious and super friendly and fast service! Got the birria tacos and would definitely recommend and go here again! My friends loved it as well!“

“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!“

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

“Love The Food Margaritas and Vibe 😋“

“10/10 would recommend!@ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“A modern take on Mexican food, definitely a bit pricey but if you get the 6 Gallitos for the table not a bad deal since you can probably make about 9 tacos with what they give you. The Sopes were great as well! If you want to try something new give it a try it just might surprise you ✨!“

“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!!!“

“Food allergy sensitive. I’m allergic to mustard and cucumbers and they are sensitive to these allergies. Just remember to ask.“

“This is listed as Mexican but I go for the Salvadoran food. The pup usas are delicious. I live in JP and we drive all the way to East Boston because we love the food here, especially the beef soup, quesadillas, pupusas, nachos, queso Blanco, Nuegados, and tacos de lengua.“

“Great birthday celebration!“
