Workers here are the absolute best and their food certainly reflects that only thing I would add is I would love to see Mexican rice on the menu in the future.

Wish I could give it negative stars. The food was terrible. They literally microwaved the biryani and served it. The rice was cold from the middle because it hadn’t even been microwaved properly. The nihari beef was so hard and didn’t taste anything like nihari. The chicken was uncooked from the middle. We left everything after a few bites and the staff didn’t even ask if there was anything wrong with it. In fact, the staff wasn’t helpful or nice in general and kept smirking. 10000000/10 would never go back and never recommend.

We didn't know what to expect from Pakistani Mexican cuisine but, damn, it was delicious! The staff was so kind, making us feel so welcome. We ordered the butter chicken, samosas, cheese naan (pretty much a less greasy quesadilla) and the mango lassi (mmmm that was a good mango lassi). Would go back - both for the food and the experience. Thanks!

Food tasted great, portions were big and the cashier was super friendly. I had thought it would be fusion, but there's a separate Mexican and Pakistani menu. Only a tiny amount of seating at the counter available.

Good south Asian flavours. We always get the chicken tikka with the biriyani, so delicious and satisfying. Staff is friendly and the portion size is large too. They do have dine in and it’s decent but most people just get take out.

Amazing service and food. One of the best quesadillas I’ve ever had. The chicken tikka plate is spicy but flavorful. All of their bread / naan is made right there.

This takeout place is legit! They have really good Pakistani food. The food is well spiced (spicy) and fresh. I have been working my way through the menu. The vegetarian platters are so good and filling. I'm going through the chicken dishes now. I plan on making my way through the whole menu. The naan bread is perfect. Portions are large and service is friendly.

Great customer service, walked in not knowing what to get and the guy at the counter recommended the butter chicken. Best butter chicken I’ve ever had. Would recommend

My recent visit to Nachlo Mexican & Pakistani Cuisine left me with mixed feelings and a rather lackluster impression. While I had high hopes for a fusion of flavors from two rich culinary traditions, I found the overall dining experience to be quite underwhelming.To start, I ordered the burrito, a dish that should be a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. However, I was surprised to find that it came with basmati rice instead of the expected Mexican rice. This choice felt out of place and clashed with the intended Mexican-Pakistani fusion concept. Basmati rice in a burrito is a big culinary misstep, as it lacks the necessary cohesion and flavor. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would generously give this burrito a mere 2, as it simply did not deliver.Next up were the tacos, and unfortunately, they were a letdown as well. The tacos were shockingly rubbery, lacking the tender, flavorful bite I was hoping for. To make matters worse, they seemed to be devoid of any distinct taste. It was as if the flavors had been diluted or entirely lost. The absence of flavorful sauces only added to the disappointment. Both the burrito and tacos suffered from a severe lack of seasoning and sauce, leaving them dry and uninspiring. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give taco's a 1.In an attempt to salvage the meal, I ordered the Chicken Karahi, a classic Pakistani dish known for its bold flavors and aromatic spices. However, even this dish fell short of expectations. The Chicken Karahi lacked salt and seasoning, rendering it bland and unmemorable. It was a stark contrast to the authentic, flavorful renditions I've had elsewhere. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would generously give Karahi a 3.And then there were the Chicken Seekh kebabs, which turned out to be the worst I've ever had. They had a dark, unappetizing exterior, but what was worse was the mushy interior, resembling baby food. It was evident that these were old kebabs, reheated without care. I couldn't even discern that I was eating a Chicken Seekh kebab; it might as well have been cardboard. On a scale of 1 to 10, these kebabs would receive a resounding 0.The only saving grace of the meal was the naan bread. It was fresh, warm, and had a delightful texture. The naan was undoubtedly the highlight of the entire dining experience and provided a welcome contrast to the disappointing main dishes.In conclusion, my visit to Nachlo Mexican & Pakistani Cuisine was marred by underwhelming food. The mismatched ingredients in the burrito, rubbery tacos, flavorless dishes, and abysmal Chicken Seekh kebabs left me longing for the fusion experience I had anticipated. While the naan was commendable, it was not enough to redeem the overall lackluster meal. I hope the restaurant can improve its menu and execution to provide a more satisfying culinary experience in the future. Until then, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this place.

THE BEST STEAK NACHOS I’VE EVER HAD! My friends and I were visiting Boston a couple of months ago, and as a Muslim person our halal dining was very limited.I still think about those steak nachos, so I would definitely recommend making a trip to this spot! The customer service was absolutely amazing even though it was a casual dining space with limited seating. All the food they serve is freshly made and delicious!Dietary restrictions: Great option for Muslims!
