“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.“

“Really nice flavor on the carnitas and cabeza, solid lengua, and terrible carne asada tacos. Would say these tacos are smaller than used to (probably could get at this size and price in Manhattan which is saying something) so would just keep that in mind when ordering“

“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 👍“

“Excellent food and service“

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.“

“The Mexican food in this place is AWESOME! My friends and I get a really great experience there, every single dish thaw we tried was phenomenal! You have to try the avocado cheese cake, is my favorite there!! Service was great and the spot makes you feel like in a real Mexican restaurant.“

“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!“

“Outstanding! Great food and drinks, we are regulars. We took friends from the mid-west, and they said Margaritas was the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.A.“

“I liked the burger. Truffle Gorgonzola fries were ok— I liked the fries, but didn’t really like the sauce. Stomach felt a little funny after, but not sure if that was the burger or fries.

Food came quick. Space was clean and small but not crowded.

Parking lot out back had multiple spaces available and was $1.35/hr. There’s some 2 hr free spots a few blocks down but you have to parallel park. Some 1 hr free spots closer to the restaurant but those were almost all taken Saturday lunch hour.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“1. Ordering from the mobile app is so easy and efficient.2. Our order was ready for pickup before the suggested time.3. Upon entering the store, the crew member greeted and helped us with the pickup right away.4. Our order was accurate and well-packed. The bowl was delicious and comforting! The loaded tortillas soup bowl is my all time favorite!!“

“the best mexican food“

“This place has wonderful food, great flavors, very polite & attentive service. Very comfortable setting. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Sydney gave my wife and myself the best time of our lives, man. She is the definition of a great waitress. This was our first time here, and I will definitely be back just because of her.

Plus, now we know they have all you can eat on Mondays, plus this have all you can eat brunch. $29 is not a bad idea at all.“

“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.“

“Lockheart offers delicious, affordable food. Appetizers include yummy street corn and sliders (three perfect little cheese burgers). Great variety of their gourmet tacos. Their guacamole is fabulous. Always excellent, friendly service. Efficient and kind staff! Great eating at tables or booths or having food and drinks at the bar. The two TV screens at the bar often show sports with the sound off.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere. Veggie Enchiladas and Blood orange margarita…highly recommend!“

“Taco 🌮 Pastor, grilled habanero salsa and a Modelo draft 🍻 for lunch.“

“love the food. love the patio. love the family environment.“

“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.“

“Pleasant employees! Wonderful good was really great!!“

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

“I LOVE Yucatan Tacos! The taco shell salad is so good! I also love the quesadillas and burritos. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always the best food!“

“My husband and I went to Lone Star Taco Bar for the first time tonight. The service was quick, friendly, and efficient! Our waiter answered all our questions and took great care of me with my food allergies! I felt totally safe!! The food was packed with so much flavor and everything just melts in your mouth! The guacamole was literally the best I’ve ever had in my life and the tacos were flavorful and fresh!! We wanted to try one of everything so we will definitely be back. The ambiance is welcoming and I loved the decor. 10/10 stars!!“

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

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.“

“Food was good. Plantains were delicious as were the churros. Horchata was a nice treat. The only complaint I have is they began cleaning the floors while we were eating and the overpowering smell of cleaner was ruining our experience so we had to take our food outside to better enjoy it.“

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

“You have to try the carnitas torta! It also needs to be profiled on some foodie show!! Delicious!“

“Enjoyed a Birthday lunch with my fiancee.The staff were friendly, the food was authentic and delicious and the dinning area is very quaint. We ar looking forward to returning again soon!“

“If you’re looking for the true taste of Mexico in your food, I 100% recommend this taqueria in Boston. The flavor, presentation, and quality of their food are the best we’ve found across NY, CT, and Boston. In fact, their taste and quality even surpass the famous Tacos #1 in NY. On top of that, the staff’s attention is outstanding. This is a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors!“

“Sabina has been open for a year and last weekend I finally got a chance to visit. Went there with a friend and we’d initially thought of just getting drinks but their menu was quite interesting so we tried a few appetizers. My friend had the Cuadrito de lechon which he mentioned was fantastic. I had the Esquite tostada which was presented very well and tasted great. We got a Guacamole to share and it was amazing!

Coming to drinks, my tamarind Margarita was top notch! I can’t remember the names of other drinks we tried but it was delicious!

I know that Newbury St is packed with places to go so it takes a whole lot more to be a standout, Sabina’s is one of those standouts for sure.“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

“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!“

“The food here is better than taco loco because of the significant bigger portion size (not stingy like taco loco), the beef is not soggy (loco's meat taste like saddness), service is better (because the employees aren't overworked), more toppings. The only downside is the price but the significant larger portion size makes up for it. When I go to loco, I'm always disappointed about the lack of protein.

Maya: more expensive, flavor, larger portion size, less fluent employees

Loco: cheaper, blander, small portion size, more fluent employees so usually better customer service

Choose your poison“

“The ladies behind the counter took my dairy allergy seriously and helped me find something to enjoy. I had the carnitas tacos, without cheese, and rice and black beans on the side. They made my food first out of the rest of my party, and took the time to clean the grill before hand. The tacos were delicious - the beans and rice were a little bland and much better when I added them to the tacos. I'd recommend speaking to the staff about possible options if you have food allergies.“

“After coming from the dentist, my food choices were limited. Truthfully I just needed a simple home cooked meal.

I definitely got it at Acapulco Restaurant. Customer service excels at this Mom and Pop venue.

The Margarita was expertly prepared and complimented the whole meal. There was plenty from the chips and plain salsa to the number one, which included rice and beans.

I felt valued, and there was great hospitality. I'll be sure to come through more often.“

“I have had almost all varieties of tacos here and a few of their sides and I love them all. My favorites are probably the Birria and Al Pastor Tacos. You really can't go wrong with any of their tacos though.
When I had a Bad day and need good food to cheer me up, this is where I go.“

“I ordered the quesadillas and miso soup and have to say it was the best quesadillas I have ever had. The meat had so much flavor and there was plenty of sauce to make it even better. The miso soup was wonderful and stayed very warm even after I ordered it and hour before I ate it. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back“

“First time I went yesterday! Thanks to the young man who helped me! I really liked the al pastor burrito that I ordered to go! The boy was very gentle and nice! He had spent a terrible day in the hospital; When I left I made that stop and I assure you I was very pleased! Thank you so much!“

“All around decent. Tacos are the way to go here rather than burritos, and the margs are great for being on dining dollars. The decor is unnerving for sure, and the hot sauce collection has dwindled from its peak, but overall the best Mexican food on Huntington, and certainly the best on NEU Husky Dollars.“

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