The best authentic Mexican food I've had in Boston. When we think Mexican, we usually just think tacos and burritos but this place is overflowing with flavor, history, and care. Get the tamales !
Wholesome and proudly authentic . Vegetarians will love the tender cactus in the Indio Vestido and Pipian Paskal. Make sure to get the Mexican spiced coffee or hot chocolate ! Brunch is also delicious
great tacos on tuesdays and now offering their margarita mixes to go during covid - overall very authentic and one of the best in somerville
The Chile Relleno en Nogada is a revelation. Also the shrimp Relleno with goat cheese . Really, you can't go wrong here. Amazing upscale Mexican cuisine .
Authentic Mexican food (not to be confused with Tex-Mex). The plantain empanadas are a great starter, and anything with cactus in it is a rare treat for New England.
The kind of restaurant that used to warn patrons it didn't have burritos . One of the few local spots for grasshopper tacos , serving micheladas before they were cool (for gringos). [Eater 38 Member]
Most authentic Mexican food in the Boston area. Ignore the low 4sq rating, it's great comfort food and healthy! Dishes you wouldn't find at most restaurants .
You can now buy their sangria bottled! I highly suggest adding a bottle to your take-out order when you call! I got a case for my sister’s backyard wedding
If you're a fan of Huevos Rancheros , try their Huevos Divorciados instead - it's fantastic! (I'm sure the Rancheros is great too though.)
The grasshopper tacos are tasty and don't feel like bugs when you're chewing - it's just crunchy. Get past the idea of it and it's easy to eat.
Wonderful authentic Mexican cuisine in a welcoming space of genuine hospitality .
My Mexican friend brought me here cause it's her favorite Mexican restaurant . Authentic country recipes unlike anything I've seen at other Mexican places .
Had the puerco cerado and I've never had more delicious nopales in my life. So good!
Intriguing menu with delicious and unexpected flavors. For dessert , get the avocado cheesecake !
They now have burritos & enchiladas for lunch on Thursdays & Fridays.
Hidden gem for sure! Many very traditional Mexican dishes as well as some more recognizable ones.
Do yourself a favor whatever you order get a side of Longaniza . It's the most delicious thing that I have ever eaten. Comes with tortillas and sauces and cilantro . Make your own tacos . Yum!!
Upscale Mexican food . A lot of choices. Octopus or squid are my favorites. Their mole sauce is the best. Don't expect to find tacos , burritos or enchiladas on the menu, though.
Come for brunch on the weekend and grab some chilequelis. Best breakfast ever.
Some of the best Mexican food in the Boston area. Tamales ftw!!
Perfect authentic quality with lovely service, worth it every time!
The avocado cheesecake topped with pistachios is AMAZING
Decent food but was expecting more after reading many good reviews. They also served sopes with Parmesan cheese instead of the expected cotija . Chips and quac were tasty but no traditional salsa ? Wut?
The longaniza sausage appetizer is AMAZING! It's basically a mini longaniza taco bar and it's a divine experience.
Great old country mexican. Langoniza for sure to start. The calamari wasn't great. Carnitas was also good.
The coconut tamale on the vegetarian tamale app is the best of the best!
Yummy Avocado Cheesecake
The cheese empanadas were a great start to the meal.
Definitely try the cactus salad , but note that it's best shared with others as an app. It's big and very, very cactus-y. :)
Authentic quesadillas . Carne sopa yum
Moles rule. I am way into them. Gonna try the cricket tacos next time. Also getting dessert next time
Go for the lunch specials ...$6 burritos to go
Honeymoon dinner w/ my college roomie and our Misters! Holy Mole de Oaxaca, batman!
I'm told, if you've never tried cactus before, you should try something with cactus .
The cuitlacoche (corn fungus) crepe appetizer is amazing!
Anything with plantains is amazing! Order the plantain appetizer and sangria :)
Not what I expected....its in a strip mall . But food was outstanding and the Mexican coffee was so.good. service was a little rough.
Best mole sauce around. Very authentic recipes - the best.
Mexican comfort food
They have grasshopper tacos here! Funny thing is the waitress couldnt
if you've never heard of the dish, then definitely order it. everything is a delicious surprise at this place.
Fried Plantains are amazing. Eat them! Lots of them!
The beef quesadilla is to die for, I always order two orders
Cochinitas pibil is pretty excellent.
Sheraton couldbt tell me what they tasted like. Im going
Crepa de Cuitlacoche
Get chiles en nogada .
The GRITS. Bites of fluffy cheesy heaven. Best I have ever had. The baja fish taco and Blt tacos hit the spot too. - Molly
Veggie tacos was delicious. Really a great taste. Good guacamole too. - Enrico S
The margarita choices are extensive and delicious. You can go classic or mix it up with one of their wilder options! - Restaurant.com
When I place a mobile order, it’s always ready within minutes. No clearly designated pick-up spot, just check the counter to the right. - Christina
Amazing ice cream and coffee, but, surprisingly, their tart frozen yogurt is also very good! I prefer it to iYO and Orange Leaf. - Steph
