Amuleto Mexican Table 484 Moody St, Waltham Mexican • $$
484 Moody St, Waltham

“Not from the area, but we went to a coffee roasting event and the owner recommended checking out Moody St. My friends and I first saw Amuleto when driving too Moody St. We all like Mexican, so agreed to try it. This place did not disappoint. They seemed short-staffed at that moment, but they waiter managed just fine. Great food and drink selection and my friends are vegetarians and had no issues choosing their lunch or apps. Overall, the place is really nice inside and the food was great!I'm down in the New Bedford area and we have our fair share of great restaurants, but I would come back here again, with more friends.”

“I would have taken a picture of the food I got, but it smelled so good that I ate it immediately. I was so impressed by this place that I would eat here all the time if I didn't live 3.5 hours away from it. That being said, if I find myself in the area again, I would come back any time. Staff was attentive, atmosphere was cozy, and the food was flavorful. 5 STARS!”

The bread had the perfect amount of crunchiness on the outside and soft butteriness inside. The ube taro boba tea and ube taro iced lattes were also phenomenal. This place is a real gem!”

185 Crescent St, Waltham

“Saturday date night with my wife. We didn't have a reservation but wanted to try it after seeing it on the phantom gourmet. The staff was very accommodating and got us seated right away. At first we ended up at the bar and enjoyed the Italian wedding soup and some arancini. Later they were able to move us to a table after a no-show reservation.For my main course I had the Pollo con crema and my wife had the vegetable risotto. Both dishes were excellent and we had enough leftover to take home.For dessert I had the Iris which is a fried donut stuffed with fresh ricotta and lemon zest. My wife enjoyed a pistachio canoli.Price was reasonable but there is a charge for paying with a card. The building is beautiful and the bathroom was spotless. Can't wait to go again.”

“I like this place. My husband and I went there for Valentine's Day. They were super busy. We made a reservation for a table online, however, when we came in our table was not ready because they were too busy. And then they had a line after us. But the manager somehow resolved the situation and we did not wait for so long. The service was great, and our server was nice. We ordered some meat and meatballs that we never tried before. The meatballs were supposed to be varied, however, it tasted all the same in my and my husband's opinion. It was not an issue. Everything was great. We had a great time and enjoyed the food.”

“Once again, my fave in Waltham did not disappoint. Had Dinner on Saturday with my wife and two friends. Made early reservations but the place was packed with Head of the Charles people. I held low hopes as with that amount of people, things usually get screwed up. They did not! Everything came out on point PERFECT! My wife loves tapas style dining, so we shared Tuna Tacos, Short Rib Tacos, Crab Cakes, and Tuna Poke. Everything was amazing. There was a great vibe in the room, and we had an awesome table up front. Our waitress was fantastic, the drinks were great, and we had a great time. Thank you once again for a fantastic evening!!!

Charcoal Guido’s 482 Moody St, Waltham Italian • $$
482 Moody St, Waltham

“After checking in the hotel in Waltham, Massachusetts the front desk provided a list of all, and I mean all the restaurants in the area. In settling for a choice we chose Charcoal Guidos on Moody Street. Fearful that a Friday night would be very busy, we were pleasantly surprised to be given a table right away. Service was prompt, professional and pleasant from the attendant providing water and then Juan who provided great service through the meal. Arancini was tasty, mussels in a tomato broth pleasing, and the gnocchi with a bolognese plentiful and very good. Overall just a very good meal from start to finish. Kudos to Juan for making sure we were happy with our meal without perching at our table the whole time. Recommend this place for anyone seeking excellent Italian food in a pleasant setting.”

Management stopped by our table to check in and make sure we were enjoying everything. The steaks were incredible. I got a flat tire pulling into the parking lot, so Joe and Zach both went above and beyond to change my tire. I had the best experience possible. If you don't go to this location for your next night out, you're really missing out.”

“We love Indian food and trying new places . Tonight was our first time here and it was so good. Do not be deceived by the empty restaurant! Take out orders we’re flying out of there while we sat. Our food took a while to come out but it was easily the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Paneer Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala. All incredible. And wow the naan!!! The places we frequent don’t touch the quality of This food. And the best part? When you ask for mild and it comes mild! Incredible. Highly recommend.”

“After so many years, today is unexpectedly my first time here. The taste of this place is great, the portions are generous, and the service is top-notch. The dry-fried green beans, pork elbow, and loofah are all good choices. However, the sweet and sour mandarin fish is too sweet for my taste. For parking, you can try Pine St or Cresent St, but don't count on finding a spot on Moody St.”
