Great spot for authentic Mexican food near Boston. Very quick in and out service. No frills, hole in the wall charm. Good Tacos and really enjoyed the Torta

Big fan for awhile. Voted one of the best Mexican food joints in the U.S. Few tables so mostly take out. Parking can be limited on the side street that it is on. Hoping they move to a larger location.

The food was good, tasty, and authentic. Prices was very decent. It was a small area where you could've dined in, but I took mine to go. So if you're in the area, this is the place to go.

While in the Waltham area, I had to stop by to see what all the hype was about. I placed a to go order for a carne asada burrito, tacos de pollo, and tacos de carne asada. I would note that the restaurant is really small and it's very difficult to park there. The server quickly took my order and noted that it would take about15 minutes , the order actually came out in about 10 minutes. The burrito was tasty and nicely seasoned and so was the kind of tacos. I was surprised eating the chicken taco because it had ground chicken. That's not something that I've ever seen before in a taco. I would compare the tacos and the price to many others in the area. It was a good lunch but not something I would drive all the way to Waltham to try.

Without a doubt the best Mexican in the Waltham area!

Best tacos in Boston, maybe best tacos outside of LA. There’s not much seating, so be prepared for a wait or take to

Yes , this is the right place. A delicious hole in the wall Mexican shop hiding between service stations and commercial buildings. A hidden Waltham gem .. I almost wish it hadn't gotten noticed because the patron traffic is obviously higher now :)

I was hungry one day in Waltham mass looking for a nice place to eat in I said let me eat some Mexican food came to this little niece Shaq and the Mexican food was delicious ?? and that's my spot from now on número uno loved
Tiny restaurant. Excellent food. My son found this place a few months ago and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. We drove 30 minutes to get here and we were not disappointed. While this is not a white table cloth restaurant, the no frills seating was perfect . We were seated quickly, ordered and received our food quickly. The guac was great and the super quesadillas were so flavorful. Prices were fair and portions were good sized. Taqueria El Amigo will definitely get a return visit from us.

I opted for a variety of tacos, and each one was a symphony of flavors and textures that left me craving more. The meats were perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, while the homemade salsas added a delightful kick of heat. This is one of the best Taco locations in the Boston area!

Tacos were ok, horchata is on point and was my favorite. Small restaurant and I had to order to go because of limited space. Maybe next time I get lucky to have a better experience and try something different.

Very good food at a fair price. Some of the best Chorizo nachos ever
