Mexican Restaurants near Westwood

“This is the best chipotle around, I am from a neighboring town with a chipotle but choose to drive to this one because it is always clean- it is managed very well. Much better than surrounding chipotles. This makes the food much more consistent as well. You can tell a hard working crew by the consistently great experiences I always have here even over the years as the team has changed.“

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“Good and quick texmex food (heavier on the mex thankfully). You can see them making the food fresh every time you go in there and you can taste it too. Lots of options for proteins, toppings, and side dishes. Tastes great; just a bit pricey for the portion sizes. That’s just Pat’s Place for you though lol.“

“Chimichangas! Absolutely love Acapulcos, and this one has a nice charm to it, as it's a little smaller than others that I've visited. You can always tell a Mexican restaurant's worth by their chimichanga, and they do it well.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We love coming here. Large dining area with plenty of seating. Flavors and portion size are great for the price. My favorite is the coconut shrimp specialty burrito. My daughter likes their Al pastor burrito. The quesadillas are great as well! Picture of my grandson holding our to go burrito :)“

“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-Mex served food at a party we went to and it was very fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and accommodating. Lots of choices and so yummy. Highly recommended.“

“Man, if you're around GO. If you're close by, GO!
Friendly staff, huge portions and most important: delicious.
Thank you to the crew at Mamacita!
I live in LA and this spot will give any place a run for their money, except it costs only half!
Go here, eat here, support this joint.
Quesadilla was a banger.
Low ceiling, margarita you can skip (just get a beer), parking can be tough.
Overall 9 / 10. Will be back.
Food is awesome, staff is great. Support the spots you want to return to!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“great food and excellent service. very much recommend“

“The Avocado Rice Bowl is delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Very filling! Waitstaff are very pleasant as well!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service, and AMAZING food. We drove an hour to try it, and are already making excuses to come back to try the delicious sounding brunch menu.“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

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

“Best burritos in the Boston area. Better than Anna's and Boca grande“

“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!“

“So much Tequila and a great beer selection. Fun atmosphere and great food“

“food was great and service line moved right aling“

“Wicked delicious food and cocktails. I loved the shrimp flatbread and the Crab cakes.“

“Excellent atmosphere inside and out“

“Amazing food. The place to go if you want to find mouth watering tastie food.“

“We recently visited Acapulco Restaurant and we ordered the enchiladas, shrimp in tomato sauce, and quesadillas for the kids and the food was so amazing. Everything had excellently crafted flavors that can only be described as cooked with love. This place is a hidden gem and we’ll be coming back for sure. Oh and the margaritas were on point too!“

“Awesome takeouts from Mi Finca for DateNite last night!!! The Mi Finca Shrimp Chimichangas Dinner was incredibly DELICIOUS!!!! We paired the food w/ some homemade spicy margaritas :-)“

“Delicious, authentic, and fresh Mexican food. Great for takeout, always fresh off the grill and great flavor.
The homemade sauce on the tables inside is SO GOOOD.
The TV inside is always playing really loud but if you don't mind that then it's nice to eat there even though it's small.“

“Burrito was delish. Crispy fries were awesome. Will be back again to try something else.“

“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.“

“Lo recomiendo 💯 % y más. desde que llegas te reciben muy bien, atentos con una sonrisa..desde los empleados, el dueño quien te atiende, pendiente que necesitas, todo bien?, la comida ni se diga..rica, rica de verdad😋todo limpio y la decoración me encanta...Muchas Felicidades 🎊 y mucho exito...MG“

“I know this place is about to go CRAZY on half days. Chipotle has nothing on Fuego 🔥The vegetarian burrito I had was absolutely fantastic. The housemade queso and spicy salsa was just 👩‍🍳🤌💋 fantastic. Both of the guys on shift were so kind and friendly. I definitely will be going back soon!“

“Chilacates is a chain of quick service Mexican restaurants around the Boston area. The food is made fresh, and ranges in style such as Birria Tacos and more.

We ordered takeout, and we got the birria taco and some nachos. The nachos were good, not overly spicy but had a good flavor and wasn't soggy from the cheese on top. We though the Birria taco was a little bit lacking, as it felt flat and not similar to other birria tacos we had, and the flavors weren't entirely there. Portions were also a bit expensive for what we got.“

“Best meal I had in Boston this trip.“

“Many of the negative reviews are from delivery orders, so how about visiting in person? I order about once or twice a month, and I usually get a carnitas bowl with assorted veggies and plantains (as you can see in this pic). I opt for no rice or beans, but get some refried beans. A+ for customization.“

“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.“

“we have frequently ordered out from them however I refuse to give them any more buisness as of today, we have never had any issues in the past . my husband paid 40 dollars for a taco tray , and upon opening the tray I noticed my chorizo tacos where burnt. to the point I couldn't even attempt to feed them to my dog. Im not sure if that was given to me on purpose because when I went to pay for my food I was commenting to the cashier about the large significant price increase and asked if I could receive my receipt so that I could verify the charges .I understand prices are going up because of whats going on , however the original taco tray typically comes with rice and beans, I was aware that because they where operating out of a taco truck I wouldnt receive that and I was ok , I just was not informed of the significant price increase that was a larger amount.The cashier had a attitude about it and scoffed and wrote me a receipt that read 40$ taco tray. I was already upset , so to go home and see that some of the tacos where severely burnt really upset me . I personally texted the owner and expressed to the owner that its not fair to work hard and pay for a service to feed your family and half of the food is charred. as of today I will no longer patronize this poor excuse of an establishment. I never got a response back and that speaks volumes about the owner . If you desire attitude and burnt piss poor quality then Tacos El primo on college street is the jackpot. attached are pictures of one of the burnt tacos and a screenshot showing that I reached out to show them the quality of food , In no way shape or form was I disrespectful or using any type of profanity in my text although I was upset, never got a response back .“

“I go to Los Amigos about once a week for dinner. Used to come in almost every day for lunch. They are friendly and the food is consistently delicious. Spicy steak and chili verde are both flavorful and actually spicy! Great food for a decent price.
Always worth the trip.“

“steak burrito Santa fe chicken salad the best dressing“

“You know it’s good when your kindergartner who comes to Boston children’s for treatment says “we gotta go straight there ma” ❤️ the fawkoutta you“

“Had Amelia Cluck & Smash near Northeastern last week and I can confidently say I’ve entered my chicken sandwich era.

The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich was easily the star of the meal. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with that sweet-and-spicy combo that just works. Honestly, no complaints there — a true 10/10 sandwich.

We also tried the smash burger, tacos, and churros. Everything was solid, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a quick comfort-food stop. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely hits the craving.

This spot really shines for what it is: a classic grab-and-go place. Quick, convenient, and great when you want something indulgent without committing to a full sit-down experience.

Overall food score: 7/10
Amazing chicken sandwich, good across the board, but very much a casual, quick-bite kind of place.

Safe to say chicken sandwiches might need to become a weekly ritual now.“

“Never disappointed! Both locations always get it right“

“No corners cut here. Top-of-the-line ingredient makes for the best food to eat there is no comparison.“

“For those who are true lovers of Central American cuisine, please visit Taquería Carrizal! I'm a lover of Salvadoran Food and ordered the Salvadoran Combination Plate! It was delicious!!! I almost ordered a plate to go!! Dress casually and wear some comfy clothes and enjoy your visit at Taquería Carrizal. The customer service was wonderful!“

“The tortas and the burritos from Chilacates are our favorite! We also ask for the salsa verde and roja which pair deliciously. We always make an effort to stop by when we are in the area. For a sweet treat we also like their tres leches cake.“
