Love Martin and the gang. Friendly service, they never rush you out. Nothing bad on the menu! The margarita's are soooooo good and they expanded the bar which is so fun, A great local hangout and a favorite of mine and MANY of my friends.
Chicken Poblano....to die for and the desert burritos...oh my!

I've really come to enjoy eating here. The food is consistently good and over time, as I've tried more of the dishes, I can say I'm a fan.
The enchiladas are really good and the mole sauce I wasn't so nuts about seems to have mellowed out, as now I think it's pretty tasty as opposed to too sweet.
What I really enjoy are the refried beans. I know, I know...of all the things in the world to rave about I choose a requisite and overlooked side dish. But that's just it -- at most Mexican restaurants the beans resemble Alpo and don't taste much better. Their beans actually make me want another helping.
They also make their own hot sauce. I dare you to ask for it. In fact, sometimes they actually have more than one kind and on even more special occasions, the owner himself will bring it to you as he describes with pride how it's made.
Then he'll watch you as you turn red. Some like it hot as they say.
All and all, it's worth a trip to Winthrop to eat here. It's the real deal.

My quest/obsession to find good Mexican food in the Boston region has led me here to La Siesta. I've had a number of people tell me this is the ultimate in Boston's Mexican dining scene.
Let's start with the name. La Siesta. It's not inspiring confidence. I feel a bit like it's going to be a fleabag motel, but ultimately, it doesn't affect the quality of the food, so let's move on.
The interior? This is more like it. The best Mexican restaurants I've ever eaten in all share this ridiculous tacky aesthetic that is one part Mexico, one part 1970, and fifteen parts neon paint. Yeah, it's definitely not pretty to look at, but then, in my experience, the best never is. They're too busy making your eyes roll back in your head in ectasy to notice the fact that there is a mural painted entirely in day-glo colors. This place, if look are any indication, will be amazing.
The food (a.k.a. the main event) was, if i'm being brutally honest, good, but uneven. The chips and salsa were pretty delicious. We also ordered the queso fundido as an app. It was cheesy, but kind of an odd texture. It had a meat flavor, but no real meat texture. It was ok, but forgettable. For the main course, I ordered the Mole Enchiladas at the recommendation of the server. Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of mole sauces because I find them too sweet/chocolately for a savory entree. This mole was different in that it had almost no chocolate flavor but was overwhelmingly flavored with cinnamon. It was good, not great. My boyfriend had a steak dish (I can't recall the name) and it was delicious. 10X better than what I had and by far the best Mexican dish I've tasted since moving here.
For dessert, the four of us shared an order of the fried ice cream. It was quite good, but not really "authentic." Thank you Yelp! for that free dessert with the check-in!
Honestly, as far as Mexican goes, this might be the best I've tasted in Boston so far. Acitron, while completely different, ties with this place for my favorite. I'm not convinced this is the best out there. Anyone else have a suggestion?

one of the best mexican restaurants i have ever been to! the food was absolutely delicious and i loved the decor & atmosphere.
only con was the service. it could have been worse, but the waiter hardly came over to the table after we ordered our food- we had to keep tracking him down to get refills on our drinks, more salsa, etc. but otherwise, i will definitely be going back here!

This was in our regular rotation for a while. The Queso Gundado is addictive. Camarones Mojo de Ajo are good, but the burrito was still the best thing on their menu. Problem is the last time we went in there it was off. Average Mexican food on our last visit and we're debating whether to ZipCar over there for a return visit.
