“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.“

“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 👍“

“The best Mexican in a hundred-mile radius. The tacos are my favorite, and the team is friendly and professional. The setting fits the street-taco character, but definitely try the plates, tortas, and burritos. I've been a customer for a decade and hope to be for decades more!“

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

“I have been to Patzacuaro no less than 40 times and every single time the food is phenomenal. The servers could not be more polite and they have an excellent spicy margarita. I go out to eat quite a bit and this is my favorite restaurant in the greater boston area.“

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

“I had ordered online from this location. It was my first time ordering from qdoba. I had mentioned online that it was my birthday and I asked them to fill it up if they could. My servers Yenny and Camila were so so nice, they gave me a huge serving and a post it wishing me a happy birthday! Made my day brighter! Thank you“

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

“Love Tu y Yo in Somerville but quite a drive for us. This has the same owners and much of the same menu and is much closer. This restaurant was wonderful! My favorites are the cactus salad, the tamales, plantains, and birria tacos. Mole wasn't my favorite, and pozole was good but a bit salty. Staff were really friendly and welcoming! Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“fajas texanas son buenas“

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

“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“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“Nachlo is truly one of the best spots in Boston. The food is absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every dish tastes homemade and full of character. The owners are amazing and genuinely kind, and the staff is just as warm and welcoming. You can really feel the passion behind this place. The atmosphere is lively, cozy, and just such a great vibe overall. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“Sol Azteca never disappoints! A Cadillac Margherita on a summer evening on the terrace? chef's kiss!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“My husband and I have been to Orale twice now and had a great experience both times. The food is delicious — I especially love the birria tacos. Everyone is super friendly, and the service is quick. Definitely recommend! We’ll be back.“

“the best mexican food“

“I’ve only ordered takeout from the Allston location before, but I was so pleased with the experience here. really chill, good music, great service, and amazing food. Highly recommend the burger and sitting on the outside patio before the weather gets too cold. Will definitely be back to enjoy again“

“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.“

“This is a sweet little neighborhood place that I just love, I think I’m in here 2-3 times a week, I get cravings! FRESH FRESH food and the service, the people are SO nice, professional and friendly. The only recommendation I would have to the business itself is add a way to put a tip on when you pay via your phone or credit card. All it allows you to do is pay for the meal, tips are cash, but who carries cash anymore? Attention management of Los Amigos - area for improvement - add tip feature for auto / card payments!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“This was a wonderful meal! You can taste the love in the food and feel the passion in the bright artwork that surrounds you 💗“

“LOVE MAMACITA. One of my FAVORITE Mexican restaurants around Northeastern University. Their portions are great and free chips with a burrito is the cherry on top. The vibes in the restaurant are fire. Spent many nights before midterms here and aced them ALL. Mamacita till I die.“

“Love that you can get at many toppings as you want for mostly no extra charge, but the Harvard location is a bit better. The rice here was a bit grainier, the corn a bit rougher, and overall flavor not as good. However, still satisfactory and affordable so would still eat here.

Nachos tasted great, but there weren't too many chips and 80-90% of them were soggy.

Nutella empanadas are a bit pricey, but they're good.

Orange and mango juice was okay. Apple juice was okay.“

“The best fresh tortillas I've had in a long time, filled with generous portions of lengua/cabeza/al pastor (all perfectly cooked) and served with delicious salsas. You just can't beat it. I thought the meat was a little under salted but...they got salt. It's a taco, you can work this out. Will be going back as soon as I can find an excuse to to try the birria.“

“Micah took great care of us as we moved from a group of 6 to 8 and then to 10. He was quick, responsive, and so great at anticipating needs. The esquites were very good and the tradicional tacos were also quite tasty! The pitcher of prickly pear margaritas was delicious.“

“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!“

“Not as glamorous atmosphere as the chain restaurants, but authenticity is 100%.
Everything on the menu is good, even American food offerings for the picky eater.

Pick up or dine in. Dinning area is small but always very clean.“

“Excellent food and service“

“steak burrito Santa fe chicken salad the best dressing“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“THIS IS IT!!! As a San Diegan I have tried everywhere in boston and enjoyed great Salvadoran, Honduran, and Puerto Rican food but have not found great Baja Mexican or even good Mexican in general that remind me of home. This is the spot. This brought tears to my eyes on homesick day. I just need them to sell carne asada in their catering section or by the pound and I’d purchase weekly. Thank you for your service 🫡 this is truly the one thing I’m missing in my life having moved to Boston.“

“A very authentic Mexican Mezcaleria. Passing by, I always thought it was a place to grab drinks but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the food is great! We sat at the small patio which gave us privacy. The staff were friendly and helpful.“

“So delicious and the best Ive had in the Cambridge/ North End/ Seaport area. The margarita was clean and fresh, the food had all the flavors you want and the tacos came with beans and rice (other places in the area, its three tacos ONLY on the plate and rice & beans are extra). Coming from Arizona & Texas for the majority of my adult life, this is the only place I will go now in the future.
I ate at the bar the few times I went and appreciated the service and friendliness of the staff.“

“Excellent food, service and welcoming space! This was probably our 5th time eating at Condesa and it is consistent. Plenty of free garage parking. Greeted warmly, seated quickly in a buzzing atmosphere with nice decor. There's a bar, high tops, booths and tables by the windows. We've had Diego A. as our server multiple times and he is fabulous! Plenty of cocktails or beer to choose from - excellent margarita's btw. The food is delish - nice menu of options and if you have a question or special food requirement, it's not a problem at all. Very reasonably priced too. It's definately part of our restaurant rotation when we want a nice dining experience and terrific food. Kudos to the entire management and staff!“

“Real good spot! I went here with my cousin and her friend right before seeing a show at Brighton Music Hall and it was well worth it. Their bulgogi bibimbap, kimchi fried rice, and loaded fries were soo good. I would come back here again to try more items on their menu.“

“Qdoba is a franchise chain of quick service Mexican food, serving up burritos, bowls, and tacos near the Linden Square area of Wellesley.

We typically get the tacos and bowls. The portion size is good, with the tacos usually overflowing with ingredients. They also don't charge for guacamole here, which is an added bonus. The flavors are good and it tastes great, and the queso dip they use for their chips is creamy and tastes good.“

“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.“

“I had ordered a chicken chimichanga and chips and had it delivered to my work through Grub Hub. The chips never made it in the bag, so I called the restaurant, and they brought me the chips and extra guac! Top tier service, and excellent food!“

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