50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Winthrop

“10/10 would recommend!@ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Small family owned taqueria with really generous portions of traditional Mexican comfort classics. I had the tacos al pastor on authentic soft corn tortillas and they were excellent. Our table started with a platter of enchiladas, some chorizo and some chicken, and they were also really good. There are only four tables for dining in, but it looks like many people get their food for delivery anyway.“

“THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST GEMS TO A PLACE THAT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO EVEN SET A FOOT IN. I'VE BEEN TO THIS PLACE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, SINCE PANDEMIC HAVE NOT GONE. WE FINALLY WENT, THE MINUTE I WALKED IN THE PERSON AT CASHIER SAID WHEN YOUR READY TO ORDER YOU COME HERE, BLINDED BY IT AS IS A RESTAURANT NOT A FAST FOOD SPOT I LOOKED AT HER AND ASK FOR THE MENU SHE LOOKS AT ME AND POINTS INFRONT OF HER TO GO GET IT MIND YOU, THERE ARE 3 OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO WORK THERE .....I LET IT PASS AND TRIED TO GIVE THIS PLACE A SECOND CHANCE COMING BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK AS THE FOOD ACTUALLY WAS GOOD THE WEEK PRIOR. WELL SERVICE WAS ONLY WORSE THIS TIME AROUND, THE WOMAN AT CASHIER LOOKED BOTHER BY JUST BEING THERE TAKING OUR ORDER AS THE TIME PRIOR OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO ALSO WORKED THERE STANDING JUST THERE. WE GET OUR FOOD REALIZING I GOT CORN TORTILLAS ASKED IF THEY CAN BE SWITCHED TO FLOURONE OF THE EMPLOYEES RESPONSE WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM THERE GOING TO THE TRASH AND I AM LOOKING AT HER LIKE OKAY IS FINE CAN I PAY FOR AN EXTRA ORDER OF TORTILLAS OF FLOUR. THE AMOUNT OF DISPLEASSURE THESE WOMAN HAVE BEING THEIR IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SERVED, ASIDE FROM THE FOOD FEELING SO RUSH THIS TIME AROUND AS WE GOT THERE AT 8 THEY CLOSED AT 10PM. I UNDERSTAND RESTAUTANT INDUSTRY IS NOT EASY BUT FOR ME TO GO TO AND SPEND MY MONEY IN A PLACE THAT FEELS SO FORCED TO WORK IS NOT WORTH MY TIME NOR MONEY.“

“I liked this enough.
Went around late lunch so the venue was mostly empty and service was fast.
My chips and guacamole were the highlight. I could the beef birria taco to be dry (it shouldn’t be at $6.99).
Everything was slightly overpriced but one of those situations where it’s because of the decor and not so much the food you’re eating.“

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

“The birria tacos where so good can’t wait to come back and they have really good service!!! 5 stars!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The absolute best authentic tacos EVER! Several choices for meat and SO well seasoned! They have American style tacos too if you need all the extra stuff like tomato, cheese and lettuce but their traditional style is just AWESOME!“

“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.“

“Nice authentic Mexican food!!! Great atmosphere & Drinks are great!!! Speak Easy theme!“

“Landed in Boston around breakfast time. Searched for a spot to have breakfast before heading out of town. This place was nice and cozy. Staff were very friendly. I had the Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo with spicy green sauce. I enjoyed the meal.

Food was great and plenty of flavor.“

“it was a real plesure working for matthew mcconaughey at chubbs of dorester bartender joco john Collins showed me a video of a what might have been a man or might a women giving a blow job on his phone, bartender tom say snitches get stitches, microphone check drink thanks for the psychosis. manager keys learned her management skills at combat zone in scollay square, my grandfather and dad got guns pulled at union Hall in the 80's, I wonder why chose to cross the picket line, my dad got hit in head by a mixer and bleeding out of his eyes, ears and nose and cousin told him to go sit on the tailgate of truck instead of telling him to get a ride to the hospital he quit working for his father and uncle to take a job at union construction compqny Spillane construction. PS Why do your hats not say maverick, @ maverick Hospitality maybe you open a place next middlebeast next.. I wonder the dos equivalent reps buddy who just just came from sox game was its so hard to make a comeback its really not though“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

“The best!“

“Best authentic Mexican food“

“Let me put it you this way, I’m Mexican born and raised in Los Angeles. I have been looking for an authentic Mexican spot since I moved to Boston four years ago and I finally found it here 🥲 everything is delicious, the salsas can be made spicier if you ask for it, and the staff are super friendly. If you’re like me looking for a piece of home I recommend coming here no questions asked“

“Delicious with quick friendly service. Gracias“

“Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had.“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“Yes I am received very good attention from the people who are working there and the food was very good!“

“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!“

“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“

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.“

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

“Family run restaurant located in an industrial area of Wakefield. Great food at good prices. Because they are off the beaten path, there is usually no waiting for a table.“

“Grabbed a quick order on a hot day, but the tacos were so fresh and delicious they were refreshing. Won't break the bank either, thanks guys! ❤️👏🏾👍🏾“

“Been to cilantro’s a few times now, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. Everything is fresh and very delicious and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The prices are pretty great too… $13.50 for 3 Birria tacos is by far the best value I’ve seen outside of Mexico. Love cilantro’s!“

“Not only was the food amazing but so was the attention! Rocio was so friendly and attentive. We both got the aguachile and it was amazing, unlike other places it was more shrimp than vegetables which was a pleasant surprise. I have been here every Friday for three weeks in a row and will be planning to make it my weekly routine. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“I’ve overlooked this place for far too long! Everything I ordered was delicious!! And not too expensive either.“

“Spending our 21st anniversary in Boston. Margaritas Revere really took care of us. If we ever make it back to Boston will definitely be dining at Margaita's Revere. Treated us like family. Sheila and Sean are awesome!! Thank you for making our anniversary amazing!!“

“This was the best Mexican restaurant i have ever been too. Classic margarita was amazing, 3 different tacos and the skirt steak with fresh quacmole, beans and rice. The 3 sauces with chips were delish“

“I went there this week for lunch and this was the best Mexican food that I’ve ever had! I definitely will return. Staff were very polite and had smiles on their faces. The atmosphere was lively and filled with many people, and there were still available seating. I also LOVE the decor“

“I’m consistent customer and I tend to get the same server every time. They tend to half scoop on reg servings, in addition to not being able to wrap a burrito properly. I just wish that they were more attentive when it comes to actual portions and wrapping.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, love the tostadas, tacos and everything!“

“Came to Boston for a convention for my son and came across this restaurant. No lie the best burrito and carnitas I have ever had!!!! Will definitely be back“

“Great service food delicious“

“Good Food and Good Vibe my favorite thing of Mexico lindo is the tacos al pastor the sangria and the fried ice cream 😍😋👍👏🏻👏🏻💯💯“

“It's OKAY Mexican food. I would have liked more for my dollar considering it was hard communicating with them, considering they knew no English. I am part Lebanese as well as Italian so I definitely can say I like hot foods but the sauces were not all that great and they arent even that hot. The Diablo sauce yes is a great sauce but it lacks both flavor and heat. I like red and green chilis and cheese, but who knows I'm not Mexican. I would have liked it to be a little cheaper for the food and quality. I spent 16 dollars on a burrito had no Pico de gallo when I said Pico de gallo she put a little bit in. These people NEED to learn how to speak.“
