22 Best Mexican Restaurants near Maynard

“Stopped by on a Friday night recently and the place was packed. Lots of families and little kids. The person seating people also appeared to be in charge of taking all the phone calls and phone orders so it took a while to get seated. The ambiance generally was very welcoming and colorful, with fun wall murals and the like. My only complaint is it was very cold in the restaurant. When we brought it up to our waitress, she was nice enough to check the heat and when she saw it was set to 64 she turned it up a bit for us. Chips and salsa come as soon as you sit down. Both were very tasty. I ordered the chicken tamales and a margarita. The margarita was big and strong. They definitely don't skimp on the alcohol. Plus points for that! My tamales were very good. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had but tasty nonetheless and I enjoyed the green salsa and side salad they came with. All in all a positive experience and I'll be back for the margarita if nothing else!“

“Finally finally a good burrito place! And a handheld burritos is what I’m talking about here. We called in an order, it was ready in less than ten minutes. Super nice staff. The burrito was huge and just really tasty. Sauce, salsa, tasty moist chicken and soft rice - I’m really happy with this. To quite my other half “this is freaking delicious.” We will definitely be back.“

“I first tried Mazatlan Mexican Grill & Bar because it was conveniently located and I figured I would give it a shot. Now, I am there all the time. The employees are all kind and personable and make the experience great time and time , again. The food is always hot & delicious. Food portions are generous , I almost always have leftovers. I can't say enough good things about their drinks , they are so well made. I suggest the Grand Margarita or the Pína Colata (so good ! ). The atmosphere is always inviting, full of laughter and people socializing. This restaurant is a win, and I find myself here often with friends and family .Parking: There is a decent lot of parking spacesKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly environment. There is a bar but there is also a separate side to the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Entry/ exit way is wheelchair accessible.“

“Lively and welcoming vibe, complemented by tasteful decor. The staff was efficient and attentive, with my waiter Susan providing exceptional service. I was impressed when my Island Jerk Chicken Fajitas arrived promptly and sizzling hot! The flavors were delicious and the portion was generous. Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience at Margarita's and can't wait to go back!“

“My colleagues and I meet once/month at our company's office in Marlborough. We all look forward to this meeting for the sole purpose that we get to have Boro Burrito for lunch! It is so easy to order online, lots of options for toppings, sauces, etc. The food is DELICIOUS! My personal favorite is the cajun chicken. We sometimes have someone go to pick up our order, but last time we had it delivered, which is super convenient.“

“We’ve had dinner at Agave twice now and really enjoyed it. On Sunday we decided to try brunch here and it was great!! If you are looking for a breakfast or brunch option, I highly recommend Agave. Their menu is fresh & modern with some traditional options also available. My mimosa was delicious (made with strawberry purée) and beautiful! Our meal was phenomenal! So fresh & flavorful. We also really love the decor & vibe in here!! It feels like a place you would dine at in a big city, not in a suburban strip mall.“

“Drinks and food tasted very good. But for the money the food portions are small as well as the drink sizes. Service was outstanding however and the manager/owner went to every table to ensure everything was okay which you don’t see often nowadays.“

“We've been to Adelita a handful of times. Each time the food has been outstanding. Fresh ingredients, decent portions, all around the best Mexican I've had outside of Boston. What elevated our last trip there though was the service. We had Hud wait on our table. He exuded genuine happiness and enthusiasm. He as attentive and detailed and definitely made our most recent experience there top notch. Highly recommend.“

“I was searching for highly rated places nearby and found this. Extremely glad that I did! Fantastic flavors, generally if I eat Mexican far outside Boston it doesn’t really taste as good. This place is an exception! I really enjoyed my steak burrito. Asked them for some really spicy sauce and it was absolutely incredible. My wife had a pineapple cut in half with shrimp I believe in it. She was a bit disappointed it wasn’t very big, but certainly tasty. The best thing was their salsa! I loved the consistency of the smooth sauce, I cannot stand chunky salsa so if you like smooth salsa this place is a great selection. I was thoroughly impressed and I’m sure we will return again. We ordered take out so didn’t have the opportunity to try drinks so we will soon.“

“This is the best Burrito place that I have found in the NH/MA area. I have tried several of the best rated places in downtown Boston and they don't compare. Living in CO for a few years got me accustomed to really good burritos. Oscars' burritos are as good or better than any I have had in CO. I live over an hour away and still make it a point to visit every few months. If New England Mexican food doesn't cut it for you check this place out.“

“Lovely hidden restaurant, worth figuring out how to get in here. Tacos are always fantastic, drinks are flavorful, staff is kind. Been coming here off and on for a few months and they've been consistent across the board. If you come with someone, I highly recommend the taco sampler. Favorite dish so far is the brisket birria tacos, which are on the mesa menu bar.“

“First time in there probably a few days after Christmas. Went inside and order some quesadillas and a drink “Dr pepper” and food was delicious. I gave them a $5 tip for excellent service and food. Side note I been inside before many times but never eaten inside but I gave it 10/10Parking: Easy access to route 2 and near Kelly corner.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access“

“Great breakfast food and service. Seating is limited by small size of restaurant. Clean rest room. Veggie omelet was very large. Comes with toast and home fries. Coffee was hot and never had to find someone for a refill.Vegetarian options: Lots of add on. Veggies, beans, rice, toast , pancakes etc.“

“Contemporary look to the restaurant. Very comfortable atmosphere.Servers are attentive and food arrived fast.Food was good and portions were filling. We ate Tacos( barbacoa, pastor, chorizo), burritos, Birria tacos..very tastey!!*Desert was meh...we had the churros with icecream. Churros weren't your traditional doughy on the inside, the were crunchy throughout and greasy.Overall would recommend ?Parking: Parking lot on the side/back of building“

“At Lalo's, you're embraced by the warmth of genuine Mexican cuisine. The enchiladas, lovingly smothered in a homemade sauce and a generous blanket of cheese, taste like a hug from an old friend. Side dishes of bright, fresh guacamole and rice add a pop of color and flavor that's simply irresistible. The quesadillas are a cheesy masterpiece, while the margaritas, strong and expertly mixed with a playful Grand Marnier twist, are conversation starters in themselves. Lalo's isn't just a meal; it's a heartwarming experience.“

“Visited here tonight. Food was outstanding.My husband ordered the Torero Margarita and Deluxe Burrito, he said it was one of the best margaritas and burritos he has ever had at any Mexican restaurant.I had the Tacos De Asada it was okay.Charros were delicious! Crunchy. ❤️Service was outstanding!!“

“Hadn't been there in a long time, not because I didn't want to, but because circumstances of all kinds. Place was nicely remodeled and is light and airy now. Service was really good, and food came quickly. Food has a nice fresh vibe, more filling than you think. The tacos may look small, but there are 3, and they are solid and tasty. They let me have one of each kind on their taco plate, which is great if you like to mix and match. The beef is not ground, it is probably stewed which was good texture, soft not stringy. Liked the flavor of the rice and beans as well. I remembered the Papusa being good, and I ordered it off their small plate list, and it came as a single papusa with a light slaw on the side. Think of it as a hearty tapas serving size at a nice price, so if you wanted to eat a bit here and there during a game at the bar, the small plate menu section is a great place to taste your way through and have fun. If I were being picky . . . My wife thought the rice could have been cooked a little softer for her taste. I suppose the beans could have had a bit more texture. The side slaw for the Papusa was good, but lacked a distinctive flair. The menu said they had modelo Negro on tap, but only the especial was on tap, but they had it in the bottle, so I had that.“

“Great atmosphere. Food was good but the rice always seems old, hard and dry. Even at other locations. It's never fresh. The chipotle dip with the fries is delicious! And birra tacos are also good. The churros can use a lot of work. They also were dry, hard, and didn't seem fresh. It was as if they were double fried.“

“Yummy tacos and the flan was a great treat, also loved the Jarritos selection!! Nice service, answered my questions about food allergies too. Looking forward to coming back again soon!Kid-friendliness: Nothing too spicy in the tacos (beef and carnitas), we got med/hot salsa on the side and the kids loved it.“

“Nice food, really enjoyed, good price for this huge portion! The Chile sauce wasn’t too spicy so that was good works for me ? Easy to pick up. Totally recommend Kid-friendliness: Grilled chicken so tasty and all purpose including fresh salad ?“

“Absolutely fantastic food. We adore this place and probably eat there once a week. The food is far superior to other Mexican places in the area, very authentic flavor. We’ve liked every dish we’ve ordered. Wait staff is great and our food usually comes quickly. No complaints at all!!“

“Decided to try out El Hupil and were not disappointed! The food was delicious; I had the black bean soup, and the tacos al pastor. The tacos were more traditionally Mexican than texmex; small tortilla with meat, onions, cilantro, lime, salsa. The passion fruit Margarita was easily the best I've ever had. And our server was so kind and attentive, and even spoke Spanish with us, as he learned my boyfriend and I spoke a little. Highly reccomend!“
