“I used to go here years ago for their bulgogi tacos, quesadilla, and kimchi fries and have never been able to find the time to go. I went the other day to get kimchi fries before work and I am so glad I did! It's a tiny spot for mostly takeout and I ordered kimchi fries with bulgogi. When I went to pickup my food they told me they accidentally made it with spicy pork so I could either keep the pork or they would remake it. They were very nice about it but I was fine with spicy pork and they ended up giving me both spicy pork and beef. I don't know why I haven't gotten these more these past few years because they are still as amazing as they were years ago. Hot fries with kimchi, bulgogi, different sauces and a runny egg on top. One of the best meals and it was $13!“
“This is my favorite place to get Mexican food. Everything I’ve had is delicious, but my favorite is the carnitas bowl. I love that they have agua fresca! Achilitos is also a great option for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-sensitive with everything clearly marked and lots of options.Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans!“
“Great fast/casual restaurant. Low-key atmosphere. We got 4 tacos and the avocado fries. The avocado fries had breading that wasn't that exiting, but it came with a cilantro ranch that was wonderful. I got the vegetable taco, my husband got the pork belly taco and we each got a pastor taco. Each were very good. Excited to try some different tacos next time! There were many other types to choose from. The service was prompt. We had a nice meal and a nice time today. I'd love to try some of the tasty sounding beverages they had on the menu next time. Will certainly go back. The restaurant is in the Norwood center area - it doesn't have it's own parking, but there is quite a bit of street parking and a lot of public lots within walking distance.“
“One of the best vegetarian burrito options I've ever had – the tofu adobo is decadently sauced, the rice is very well seasoned, and the add-ons were delicious as they were abundant. Can't recommend highly enough!Vegetarian options: Their tofu adobo option for protein is amazing – from there you can customize the burrito of your dreams! They also have a number of sides that are veg-friendly.“
“Best place to eat real food. We mostly go there during lunch with coworkers and it never disappoints. Great food, everything is tasty, not super expensive (not cheap) and very warm and efficient service. Haven't tried any drinks though. Beef biria is top notch.Wheelchair accessibility: Smooth wide entrance“
“A small little spot for a quick Mexican bite. Portions are good. I'd hoped my burrito came with some chips on the side like most other places do, but at least the burrito was filling. Had my burrito had just 15-20% more steak I would've given max stars. All in all still very good. I placed my order in English and my parents were able to place theirs in Spanish just as easily thanks to the bilingual staff. It's a small thing, but I appreciate it!“
“This was a nice little hidden bar right in Stoughton Center. The atmosphere was pretty great and it had a good vibe. The bartender was very nice and the drinks they made were done well. Only had some appetizers but they were flavorful. I really liked the buffalo chicken wontons.“

“I simply loved it. Was visiting my friend in Boston and we went there on Sunday. I loved the nachos that they great you with as soon as you are seated ... yummy with the sauce. You can get as much as you want ( but don't fill your stomach before you get your food ) ??? nice and smiling staff. Ready to help but some don't speak English. One waiter was nice but didn't bring me a fork for like 15 minutes, had to go and ask for it myself. Bathrooms relatively clean. Liked the food but it was my mistake regarding what I ordered, just made the wrong choice compared to what I expected. I will go there again for sure.Ohhh i was about to forget???????? make sure you order the guacamole yummy yummy yummy.. HUGE portion and the nice thing is that they are generous with their portions.“
“Great food. We ordered fish tacos, grilled shrimp bowl, veggie enchiladas, and a bean and cheese burrito. Everything was excellent and the price was great. I will certainly come back many times. This is now my favorite place for tacos and burritos in the Boston area. This review is about takeout, so I can't comment on the service or ambiance.“
“fantastic food and service, speedy ordering process, and friendly staff! you can't ask for a better experience. there are sooo many options to choose from and everything is fresh and delicious. i got the torta and was so happy to find out that you can add plantains as a topping! that and everything is very affordable. perfect for our group, as we had a timed museum exhibit to get to at the mfa. all around, i would highly recommend mamacita!“
“We stopped by for lunch to celebrate our son's birthday with some friends, 5 people all together. We didn't need reservations and were treated by a very sweet, caring, and efficient staff. And the food was delicious authentic Mexican food. We are still dreaming about the delicious flautas! We enjoyed the fried ice cream and churros for dessert. We look forward to returning when we're in the area.“
“Came here for the vegan options and was satisfied. Pleasantly surprised even. Love that they label the vegan items on the menu and that their refried beans are vegan. I got a bowl and my hubby got a burrito, and we left happy. ??Parking: Parking in the neighborhood is extremely limited. I recommend taking public transportation.“
“We got take out delivery via Uber Eats from OliToki. The tteokbokki was a bit over-cooked, and the chicken add-on in the kimchi fried rice was very dry. Definitely tastes like fusion food rather than authentic, which is what we expected. Overall very filling!“
“This may be the best Mexican restaurant in Boston. Do yourself a favor and try this place! Had the nopalitos, fajitas, tostada, and sike marga + chips and salsa. It was all fantastic! Our server was also very attentative, nice, and let us try a bite of several things we were considering. Thank you for a great meal!“
“Went here for bottomless brunch…absolutely delicious at a price you can’t beat. Service is friendly and quick, while the ambiance is pretty uncrowded and relaxing. I would highly recommend the French Toast, Molettes, and Chicken + Waffles. Plates are small which adds to the fun of unlimited ordering. Makes for a great morning!“
“Food was great. We ordered a few different things; nachos, biria tacos, and a few different pupusas. Only issue with the food was the pupusas were very mushie and fell apart instantly (still delicious). Another little issue was, there was a group of what seemed to be homeless people who were in and out throughout our dining. They kept saying they were waiting for their food, bit it was obvious they were not. All that aside, I really liked everything.“
“I came here for an event so it was just our group there. We sat at the bar and one of our party got their food a bit later but it was hectic having a big group there rather than usual diners. As a Texan, paying $7 for a taco is a bit crazy but these were genuinely delicious. My favorite was the Queso Carne because of the onion and bacon jam. However, the meat in both tacos was tender and flavorful. The food was delicious and it seems like a cute spot to visit again!“
“Best mexican food in Boston. We tried the quesadillas and the tortas, both are amazing. We only got a photo of the beef torta though. But the cochinita pibil and steak quesadillas were great too.The service was amazing. They went above and beyond and were super friendly.Incredible food, atmosphere and service. 10/10 would reccommend. I recommend dining in, the decoration and vibes are great too.“
“Came here after seeing a movie and wanted to try a burrito! It was actually really delicious and the customer service was amazing! I’m always skeptical of Mexican food in Boston especially being from California but this place didn’t disappoint, Will definitely be returning!“
“Eating chimichanga for the first time. Seasoned just right, the roast meat was great, as were the beans. Detail of the sour cream on top of the lettuce added the finishing touch. Food well prepared, 5 minutes very well waited. Very simple but extremely welcoming environment. Excellent service, very friendly.“
“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!“
“Must eat here! Food and service are both excellent. The best hands down in house made guacamole and salsa. Pupusas, sweet plantains and the Montanero are personal favorites. The whole menu is great and you can't go wrong with any of these dishes. If you are looking for delicious, authentic food, then look no further than Taqueria El Carrizal!“
“I’m not a fan of eating at the same restaurant but this is one of the very few exceptions. I dream about the nachos and veggie chili. I have never once had a bad experience and the margaritas? My absolute favorite margaritas , especially the strawberry basil flavor. If you want a margarita that feels like drinking two in one get the nitro margarita! There’s something for everyone and the staff is so kind“
“This place easily has the best burritos around and the nicest guys working there. The fajita burrito is absolutely delicious. The only reason for four stars is because I found out that the workers only receive cash tips so if you leave a tip on a credit card, or Apple Pay, those tips do not go to the workers. if you happen to go in for some delicious burritos, please just remember to put a little cash in your wallet if you or someone who tips for takeout! I know everything is done electronically nowadays, so it's a shame that we have to worry about where our tips are going, but there are unfortunately places like this where credit card tips just go to the restaurant owners.“
“One of the best burritos I’ve ever had recommend this if you want any food and suits anyone.Vegetarian options: The options are very varied between meat and veggies.Dietary restrictions: Only so many restrictions.Kid-friendliness: Any kid would love it here.“
“Service is both friendly and efficient, but what I'm really here to say is that this is the best lunch value in the entire Longwood/Fenway area, and a fantastic vegan option. Built my own small bowl today: brown rice, fajita veggies, roasted broccoli, corn salsa, tofu, black beans, jalapeno salsa--10 bucks. This is an extraordinary value, and I feel well fed but not grossly full after.“
“Hit the spot! I stopped by after some shopping and had the carnitas quesadilla. It was the perfect portion and it also came with pico de gallo, sour cream and guac. The service was fast too, I only had to wait a few minutes and this was around 1130 so they were getting quite busy. Very small place, most people were doing take out. They have some outdoor tables too. I'll defiantly be back next time I'm in the area!“
“Great fresh Food!!!Try the pupusas, yum! They stuff them with enough ingredients and give it flavor. My family loved the pupusas & their strawberry banana smoothies?.The restaurant is clean and the staff is nice and provides great service!!! Totally worth it!!! Thank you?“
“Love this place, must-visit if you’re in the area. Was there this past Saturday at 11:45AM just before the Boston College football game. Walked right in and ordered. If you go after the game lines are literally out the door. My favorite is the caramelos but they might be too spicy for some.“
“The main dishes were average. The chips, salsa, and guac were all solid.The portion sizes were oddly small. I received a tiny serving of rice and an even smaller serving of beans with my food.Our waters stayed full the entire time.I ordered the carne Asada, which I ordered medium rare. It arrived medium-well, and I wasn’t sure whether it was intentional or not. The flavors were good, but frankly, not great.The enchilada that came on my plate had a highly overcooked filling of white meat chicken. I would have expected thigh or otherwise more careful cooking.Parking: Extremely busy downtown street parking, or expensive garage parking is available.Wheelchair accessibility: No accessibility here. Several stairs to enter, narrow pathways, and cramped interior. No elevator to be found.“
“Had an awesome time at this Mexican joint! Shoutout to our waiter, Sam, who made the meal even better with his laid-back and friendly personality and attentiveness. The food was great and the margs were sooo yummy. If you're into great Mexican food and a chill vibe, this place is a win!“

“Roxanne's Taqueria offers an exceptional blend of flavors in their burritos and bowls. The freshness of ingredients, generous portions, and vibrant sauces make every bite a delightful experience. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance add to the overall positive dining experience. Highly recommended for a satisfying and flavorful Mexican food fix!“
“Doesn't get much better than Chilacates on Mission Hill. Great food, though prices seem to increase upon every visit. It's hard to turn down a papas con chorizo torta from here at any cost. Long waits can sometimes be a bother, especially when the store isn't busy, but ordering ahead of time solves everything.“
“i got the plantain bowl for takeout and i have to say i wouldn't have thought to put plantains in a burrito bowl but it was lovely. and for less than $12 it was a big meal so worth the money. didn't take a photo because i shook it up and it looked mushy but it tasted delish“
“✷---PURPLE. CARUS IS A FOOD PLACE..NOT A HOTEL!!!----✷❥- My mom literally gets Purple Catus •••EVERYDAY!!! ••& MY brother gets it at least 2-3 times a WEEK!!! SOOO MANY OPTIONS FOR EVERYONE! THE PPL THAT WORK THERE ARE LITERALLY JUST SOOO AMAZING..✷ •• SOPHIE ••. & •• AMANDA •• ✷Food & drinks: Amazing ?“
“The holiday margaritas were amazing to start, my boyfriend said wow about 6x while eating the calamari which was breaded IN HOUSE which definitely gives you the WOWZA feeling, I ordered the sautéed lobster roll and he ordered the blackened fish. And WOW the lobster roll was the best I've ever had EVER, it just melted in your mouth and paired with garlic butter and toasted bread MUAH perfectooo also came with sweet potato fries. The blackened fish came with sausage and shrimp with a creole sauce and it was gone in seconds.. we were so happily full after. Talked about the food alllll the way home and how great it was!! Service was also soo great, our server was so sweet and recommended just about every single thing we ordered!“
“I stumbled upon Naco Taco truck when I was waiting for an appointment on Newbury Street that I arrived early for. I ordered a couple of tacos not so much because I was hungry but just because I needed to kill time. I was blown away with the flavor, freshness and value.I ended up calling and asking if they did private truck rentals - and sure enough they did! I was STOKED at how well Naco Taco went over with my party. It was a High School Graduation for 150 people and EVERYONE raved about the food: Greatest thing was, hard to tell who loved it more..... the kids or the adults! The Cod and Shrimp Tacos were surprise hits but all of them and the sides were amazing. A bin of iced Jarittos and other sodas was a nice touch along with warm, friendly service....what more could you ask for?I guess the only disappointment was how good the food was. I mean, my grill and meats are usually the star of the show.....and I'm not lying - they were amazing that day LOL - but most of the props went out to Naco Taco.I will definitely use them again for a future function and if you are in the neighborhood of the truck on Newbury, their restaurant in Cambridge or the food hall in Boston...I suggest you run and not walk to get there - just great food!“
“Our new go-to spot, we drive 45 mins with a 9 month old for it. Truly authentic Mexican. Only a few tables inside but most people who have come in while we've sat down have been taking their food to go, so it's never a problem getting seating. Super affordable, good pricing, amazing food. 10/10 recommend. My husband gets the burrito, I get the torta and we split a side of fried plantains.“
“El Jefe's Taqueria in Boston has top-notch burritos and a variety of other delicious Mexican dishes. The cozy atmosphere, good service, and quick service make it a must-visit spot. Highly recommended.Full Review:El Jefe's Taqueria in Boston exceeded my expectations with its fantastic selection of Mexican cuisine. While the tacos and other dishes are undoubtedly delicious, it was the burrito that stole the show for me.As a self-proclaimed burrito aficionado, I can confidently say that El Jefe's burrito was one of the best I've ever had. The flavors were bold and delicious, and each bite was a delightful blend of ingredients. I opted for the classic carne asada filling, and it did not disappoint.The meats were well-seasoned, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The Jarritos soda was a perfect accompaniment to my meal, adding a refreshing touch to the experience.To cap off the meal, I tried the Spanish flan (which some of you may know as crème caramel, flan, caramel pudding, condensed milk pudding or caramel custard) for the first time along with having my first ever Jarritos, and it was a delightful end to the meal. Creamy, sweet, and perfectly complemented by the caramel sauce, it was a fitting conclusion to a fantastic dining experience.The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere with just the right amount of seating. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service, and the food was prepared quickly without compromising on quality.El Jefe's Taqueria is a must-visit for anyone craving great Mexican flavors in Boston. Whether you're a burrito enthusiast like me or just looking for a delicious meal, this place has something for everyone. Highly recommended.Note: My burrito was hearty and delicious. So much so that I forgot to take a picture and scarfed it down, and I took a consolation picture of my flan and soda instead.“
“You can get very good Mexican food and beer here. The buritos, quesadillas, etc. can be put together individually, different types of meat and vegetarian and vegan are no problem. The staff was very friendly. I can only recommend!Vegetarian options: Anything prepared with tortillas can be topped or filled with vegetarian options.“
“Love this place. I’ve been coming here since I moved to Boston in 2018 and now that I live outside of the city, I still will make the trip to come here. I always get the el guapo burrito and the plantains. It is perfect every single time. It never misses. We tell anyone that comes to visit to come here so they could love this place as much as we do“
“My waiter was an angel and the chef was God himself. Upon consuming my burrito, I ascended to Heaven. Or maybe it was some place beyond Heaven, a greater place superior to such. Everyone enjoyed their incredible meals. They can make anything upscale and delicious. Will come again a thousand times. :)“
“Good prices, cheaper than most places you go to, calm atmosphere, had the soccer game on, just a nice little neighborhood food spot. Gives a nice friendly vibe. Has a few cute little arcade machines and even a coin-pusher machine, which you don't see often. Really nice to stop in at while I'm waiting for my laundry to finish up at rossmore maytag.“
“Best Local Mexican Food In Newton Just Hard To FindVegetarian options: Good amountDietary restrictions: Very accommodating for my restrictionsParking: Many spots near the placeKid-friendliness: Very friendly went with kidsWheelchair accessibility: Very accessible“
“I'm absolutely shocked at how much I enjoyed my food here - I was expecting it to be mediocre college food but was very happily surprised to find out that this wasn't the case. This location is near Northeastern campus, so it's busy seemingly almost any time of day. We visited for a late-night dinner and were able to order almost immediately. Our server was nice but didn't seem to understand all of my questions - luckily I was able to get some correct answers from the cashier. Not sure if it was a language issue or if it was just too loud in the restaurant, but not a huge deal. I ordered a custom bowl with steak and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was fresh, tender, and well seasoned. The toppings complimented each other very well also -- I just wish they filled the bowl a bit more! I was able to try my partner's al pastor burrito and it was also incredibly good. The meat especially was the star of the show, and I couldn't get enough. I'm sad I'm only finding out about this place now.. I'll definitely be back soon!“
“Great service. Food is pretty damn good and the prices are INSANELY good. This restaurant has extreme value for everyone, whether you're looking for a side or a comple platter. Inside there is plenty of space. The decor is a bit outdated, but the is also very nostalgic to a family style mexican restaurant that most grew up eating from.“
“We've ordered from Fuego a few times and it's always great. Food is always very tasty and high quality, and the portions are generous. We order online and the food is always ready by the time I walk in the door. The Fuego crew is friendly and make you feel like they're glad to see you. Highly recommended!“
“The only place I'll ever order a burrito. I ended up moving out of Boston an hour away and I make the trip a couple times a month, or when I can, because I have yet to find a burrito near me that even comes close. Also, this location in particular is the best imo. Their burritos are consistent, juicy, and fresh. The tortilla is one of the best parts Their service is quick and easy. Their churros are also the best I can find because they include the dulce de leche in the middle. Surprisingly, that's uncommon...at least in the places I've been. I just love Los Amigos so much“
“This is my special go to placeThe veggie taco is loaded with delightfully grilled veggies topped with fresh fresh raw veggies add a little pico de gallo and guacamole aaawesomeMake sure try the limeade made from fresh squeezed limes The best in area So grateful to have discovered this gem❤️”G”“
“Sara and the current team are amazing!! You can't get better than this as they are so fast, accurate and polite with the orders, whether you are dining in or takeout. The team keeps the lines moving, as this is a really busy location so be patient. They are always cleaning the tables and trash. Unfortunately, tech issues occur, but they work to make it right and will work with you if this happens. Plenty of parking. Place gets really busy at lunch due to all the local business so keep that in mind. Thank you so much for great service and delicious fresh food!!Vegetarian options: Salads are delicious.“
