I f*cking love Mexican food!
See All Lists
1. Lone Star Taco Bar
Behold the Fields of Elysium...where they serve amazing freakin' tacos.
I'll admit that when Ms. J. said that we HAD to eat here, I was feeling that jaded snark that every West Coast transplant feels about Mexican food east of the Rockies. I had no…More »
2. El Paso Enchiladas
Oy vei! Wait, no...caramba! (Why doesn't Yelp have an upside-down exclamation point?!?) I get suckered into El Paso Enchiladas every time I go to Quincy Market Colonnade. I'm overwhelmed when I step into Q. Market anyway...there are so many choices…More »
3. El Pelon Taqueria
It's been a long morning at the MFA and ME SO HUNGRY! ME LOVE BURRITO LONG TIME!
Crossed the Fenway and ran up to Peterborough (looking longingly at Brown Sugar on the way) and fell into the goodness of El Pelon.
I was so hungry that I could eat…More »
4. Taco Loco
Many moons ago when I was a young and naive http://dot.com slave transplanted from the Left Coast, I missed home something fierce. Now, when I say "home", I don't mean Mom, smog, and the Hollywood sign. I mean all the little Mexican/Central American…More »
5. Cactus Club Restaurant & Bar
When the sunshine's coming and the weather's heating up, it's time to think about sitting on the patio and absorbing margaritas by the gallon. The Cactus Club is a nice enough spot to do this. The outdoor seating, though limited, is pleasant enough.…More »
6. Jose's Mexican Food Restaurant
Somewhat off the beaten path in Cambridge, Jose's nonetheless manages to deliver good Mexican food like other more popular places, but without busting your wallet. It's located in a funky area near Fresh Pond Mall, definitely not near major T areas…More »
7. Sanchez Tortilleria Spanish Products
Providence, RI 02909
(401) 331-6469
As many who read my Yelp will know., I am a Mexican food addict; I cook it at least twice a week (which, now that I'm thinking about it, might explain my stomach ulcer and my constantly spicy breath...Ole! ). If I need to get any sort of Mexican…More »
8. Acapulcos Mexican Restaurant
3.49999999 stars. A surprisingly good little find in Norwood (haha!) on Route 1 (double haha!). This restaurant is small in size, but features a comfortable dining room with a pleasant buzz of conversation. Our server was somewhat out to lunch in…More »
9. Qdoba Mexican Grill
I don't typically do fast food anymore. Yeah. That's a lie. I still love Five Guys at Patriot Place, but on this rainy Thursday I wasn't feeling the burger. Plus, 5G is expensive, so I figured I'd take a whack at Qdoba. Having never been there, I…More »
10. Tu Y Yo
Can you say "Mole Colorado Tiaxcalteca" or "Cochinita Pibil" three times fast? I thought not, but it doesn't matter. Tu Y Yo is the most "authentic" Mexican restaurant in the Boston metro, bar none. I consider myself fairly advanced (not nece. a…More »
11. Casa Romero
3.75 stars.
My disclaimer for this review is that I was in a seriously shitty mood both of the times that I went to Casa Romero.
Overall the food was very tasty, with a bit too much reliance on fancy sauces to improve average quality proteins rather…More »
12. Olé Mexican Grill
O OMFG the guacamole! The pozole! The chips!
L Like, everyone and their goddamn brother is here.
E Expensive as hell, but probably worth it.
!
13. Border Café
Cambridge, MA 02138
(617) 864-6100
Categories:
Tex-Mex,
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhood: Harvard Square
People rave about this place: "Oh my God, best food ever! I love the drinks! Waaaah! Waaaahhhhh!". These people have either never eaten good Mexican before, or else they're morons. I'll graciously opt for the former.
The chips are dece., but the…More »
14. El Charro Cafe
In the Tucson Mexican restaurant wars, you have two sides: the El Charro Lovers and the Haters who want you to go anywhere else. I'm definitely a Lover. The Hater will complain to you about long waits, variable food, and indifferent service. The…More »
15. On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - CLOSED
Pretty good food (especially the fajitas), not so great service, crowded as hell. It's sort of counter-intuitive to go to such a corporate Tex-Mex experience when there are a hundred authentic Mexican places in Tucson, but there is one major draw…More »
16. Cafe Poca Cosa
Busy as hell, but well worth the wait. Get any kind of mole dish and you will not be disappointed. Great sangria and margaritas come out of the bar. The best part of the experience was that we'd called ahead to arrange a special vegan dish for my…More »
17. Los Betos
Cheap, fast, good. As a man who prides himself on nacho knowledge, I can say definitively that Los Betos' Super Nachos are the best nachos in the known universe. Steak, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, crunchy tortilla chips and love. Yeah, you read…More »
18. Border Grill
Santa Monica, CA 90401
(310) 451-1655
Categories:
Mexican,
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
Consistently good Tex-Mex style food in all the years I've gone here, thought no real stand-out moments with the food or service. It's tasty, well-portioned, but not really inspired or off the beaten path; it's sort of one step up from a chain like…More »
19. Talpa Restaurant
Los Angeles, CA 90064
(310) 478-3353
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
This is a curious little place. By all outward appearances, it screams homestyle Mexican. However, once you get rolling, it ends up being only standard. This is one of Grandma's favorite places to eat, so that should give you an idea of what's going…More »
20. The Gourmet Tamale Factory
Delicious! Excellent tamales, even better than the ones my abuelita makes. Sorry, Granny! Wait. I don't have an abuelita. Anyways, they come in different meat varieties prepared in the traditional way with the usual red and green salsas and I was…More »
21. Olvera Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 628-1274
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Olvera Street! People around the world visit Los Angeles to go to Disneyland or Hollywood, but they shouldn't leave without experiencing Olvera Street. It might leave those people seeking big thrills and movie stars a bit cold, but if you want to…More »
22. Great Burrito
New York, NY 10024
(212) 724-5151
Categories:
Mexican,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Upper West Side
Of all the Mexican restaurants that I've visited in Manhattan, the Great Burrito is the best so far. The approach to the GB is deceptive...there's no sign. Anywhere. The restaurant is in a nondescript building in between 79th and 80th on Amsterdam,…More »
23. Chevys Fresh Mex
New York, NY 10036
(212) 302-4010
I always get lured into Chevy's hoping that it'll be better than it was last time I visited. It never is, and I should just quit letting myself down.
I'm not a snob when it comes to Mexican food; I'll eat damn near anything, anywhere. But Chevy's…More »
24. Agave Restaurant
New York, NY 10014
(212) 989-2100
Categories:
Mexican,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: West Village
The food is pretty good, but the real draw here are the margaritas. If you can get in for Sunday brunch (they do some really nice eggs dishes), skip the mimosas and get a blood orange margarita. They're so wonderful that you will eventually forget…More »
