5 Best Mexican Restaurants near Newton

“Little gem that you'd easily walk by thinking it's nothing special. Its special. The food is nothing short of authentic family style and the forward flavors aren't your Americanized mexican food. If like food from Mexico you need to try this place, if you like texmex or Americanized come here knowing it'll be a different experience.“

“Ate here a few times before shows at the Newton Theater. Let me tell you, the food is awesome and service was great!“

“I was looking for a place to hold a small(er) afternoon party for about 60 friends & family members, and McQ’s came highly recommended for great food, wonderful atmosphere, and top notch service. They did not disappoint. The general manager, Alexis was a pleasure to work with, and was helpful with menu choices, and whatever additional asks I had. (A table area for a display, AV hook-up for a slide presentation, and complimentary drink “coupons” for my guests. The entire staff (including the kitchen) was friendly, and determined to make this a fun (and delicious) event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I give them 5 stars 🌟 out of 5.“

“TL:DR - Delicious food, kind folks

Went here to get take out lunch after wanting to try it for a long time. Their menu is available online, and you can order through it, but the prices online are at least 10% higher. Go to the actual restaurant to make sure both you and the owners get the best bang for the buck.

The people working were in the middle of their lunch when I came in, but were very kind and helped me right away. I ordered everything I wanted to try, though I had to get chocolate flan instead of tres leches cake, since they were all out. They got right to work, and after a short wait at a table, my food was ready & I headed home.

The chocolate flan (dessert first!) was unexpectedly tasty. I’m not a huge fan of traditional flan; this was like a layer of flan on top of a layer of rich chocolate cake. Before I knew it, half of it was gone. I’d get this again mostly because I love chocolate more than flan.

Next was the chicken rancheros burrito. It came with a slightly spicy green sauce which really added to the flavor of the dish. Inside the wrap was tender, flavorful chicken, guacamole, sour cream, queso, and fresh onions. It was tasty at first bite, and delicious with the sauce added to it.

Finally I ate the appetizer last, which was the choripapas. It was basically fries smothered with chorizo and cheese - and wow I sure was fine with that. The chorizo was a little milder than others I’ve had, but still good. The portion was so large that I thankfully have some leftovers for supper tonight. Would definitely get this again and/or try the other one with other sausage in it.

All in all, it was really wonderful. Will definitely be back to try more dishes and to see how their tres leches ranks! Thank you!“

“Went in tonight to grab some tajin and chermoy to satisfy my cravings and was offered a free tamale which was AMAZING!!!“
