    Grilled chicken tacos

    Baja box was always one of my favorite places to go in the summer time. The grilled chicken tacos were always one of my favorites. I was so disappointed when I got them today. The Perdue packaged chicken is better than the chicken they put on these tacos. Such a shame. I'd be embarrassed to serve these to customers.

    Came here on a miserable rainy day past peak days. I don't expect much out of Mexican food in Boston (save for a couple spots) so I wasn't anticipating a mind-blowing experience. The elote was fine, though I don't have much experience with them. It was a little cheesy and flavorful. The grilled fish tacos were pedestrian but edible. They were rather sizable but just too creamy. Having this creamy "wasabi" mayo along with cole slaw caused me to think I was just eating cream and tortilla. The pickled onion attempted to provide a tangy counter but just doesn't cut it. The fish didn't seemed grilled but rather more boiled than anything. There wasn't a grilled flavor to it, but even if it did, the slaw and mayo would have overwhelmed it. Service was friendly and helpful. If I really really wanted some fish tacos and want a beach-view included, I'd swing by.

    Great fish tacos, light and crispy and chipotle sauce gives it a nice smoky spice and slaw gives it a nice fresh crunch. Guac and chip was also very fresh.

    Great location, great view, and even better tacos! Parking is easy along the beach and the outdoor seating area has umbrellas to keep you cool in the shade. I ordered baja shrimp tacos, beef barbacoa tacos, and chips with guacamole. The guacamole tasted super fresh and both tacos were full of flavor. Each order comes with two tacos that are generously portioned. I would definitely love to come back here!

    My go to the baja nachos with chicken tinga! They are literally the best. Everyone working is always so nice. Definitely look forward to eating here every summer.

    Reasonably priced but mediocre tasting. The sauce on the fish tacos was strange and didn't have much taste and there were a lot of pickled red onions. Maybe would come back and try the other meat tacos.

    I reeeally enjoy coming here. Two tacos will set you back $8, but they're worth it--especially if you get their battered Baja Fish or Baja Shrimp! They're crispy and truly outshine their other offerings. All of the tacos are dressed with cabbage slaw, variations of crema, chipotle mayo, and cotija cheese which make for heaven in your mouth. Naysayers will complain that the tacos are drenched with sauce, but I personally see that as a highlight. My only complaint is I wish they would serve larger wedges of lime!!

    Well color me impressed. New to the area, I was craving Mexican and hopped on Yelp to satisfy my cravings. I was intrigued by the pictures of delicious tacos, albeit in takeout boxes, so I decided to stop by for lunch one Saturday and eat tacos on the beach wall. WOW - these are some really good tacos. I was surprised at what Baja Box delivered after seeing an unassuming storefront - a true hole in the wall kind of place. We parked across the street, plenty of beach front parking and ordered at the counter. The inside is nothing impressive, with colorful menu signs and counter seating. They also have a nice looking patio should you want to sit with a table. In addition to tacos, they also serve ice cream. The tacos were flavorful and exactly what I had come for. We ordered the Baja shrimp tacos and the pork carnitas. Both were fresh, flavorful, and simply good tacos. Two tacos in a take out box will set you back around $8 but I was impressed with the ingredients and flavors. I am no means a taco authenticity expert, but these tacos were impressive, delicious, and left me wishing I had ordered two servings! Overall, I would return for the tacos. Baja Box is a 4.5 (rounded down to a 4) given that the taco flavor comes in at a 5 but the atmosphere and service lower their overall rating. I'll be back again before they close for the summer season!

    Perfect spot right by the beach to enjoy some delicious ice cream sundaes on a hot summer day! So far I've only enjoyed their ice cream which is super yummy but I can't wait to try their food as well! Their tacos looks so boo *UPDATE* So I finally had their grilled fish tacos & it was so good! I also had the grilled chicken which was also good but I just loved the fish!

    FOOD: 6/10 SERVICE: 8/10 AMBIENCE: 6/10 RECCOMENDATION: Baja fish tacos The tacos here were aight... they weren't bad but they weren't super good either. The Baja fish taco looked pretty big but most of it was just batter. I also got the chicken taco which was really plain and simple. I felt like I could make that at home if I had the ingredients. Overall this place is pretty decent so it's worth a try if you like tacos.

    The Ice Box 5/2015

    Getting mint chip and pistachio together in a kiddie cup $2.85 wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but it was sure was pleasing to the taste buds! The Ice Box is an ice cream shop set within walls so you may place your order at the window from the comfort of the indoors. A couple of stools and a counter line the outer wall, but there are three picnic tables set outside as well. Prices for their hard ice cream are kiddie $2.85, small $3.70, and large $4.25. Prices for the soft ice cream are kiddie $2.65, small $3.50, and large $4. Plus tax. The ice cream was fine. Sounds like it is from Richardson's. The raspberry lime rickey $1.75, however, was a bit of a disappointment, being more ice than anything else. *** 5/2017 *** Looks like the Ice Box has been reincarnated as the Baja Box...

    Oh my gosh - Richardson's Ice Cream on the south shore! I grew up on the north shore of MA and loved going to Richardson's in Middleton for their delicious ice cream. I now live in Quincy, and The Ice Box is my go to for having delicious Richardson's ice cream close to home. The portions here are huge! I've ordered a kiddie for myself and it's more than enough. The smalls have 3 scoops of ice cream! Stop by here for a delicious treat after walking on Wollaston Beach.

    With nicer weather and a dabble in the Richardson's side of the menu, the Ice Box 2.0 would be an easy four stars. Right now, it's hovering at a 3.4, and not for quantity ($8 score two six inch flour tortillas each packing a beautifully fried white fish plank with cabbage, cotija, crema and a house chipotle sauce), price (very fair) nor for necessity - a spot like this on Wollaston Beach will make a killing! It's mainly for the flavors. Specifically, the overly subtle melding of all those potentially packed textures and ingredients hit the tongue as one-note. Same was said for the street corn; two halves of a cob for $4, with essentially the same treatment as the Baja Fish Tacos above. The plates looked great, and if I were only eating with the eyes, Baja serves five-star food. But the nose knows, and the palate soon finds out. Definitely happy to make a return, with high hopes on a more rounded menu take (especially those Baja Nachos - those things looked stacked)! And most definitely during sunny weather to enjoy the patio.

Dora Taqueria is so good that I want it to stay one of my hidden gems forever. We got a ton of food to try here and nothing disappointed. We got 3 birria tacos ($15), a shrimp taco, an al pastor taco, 2 lengua tacos, and 2 elotes. Although we ordered a good amount, our food came out very quickly! Whenever I see lengua (tongue tacos) I'm always so excited since not many places tend to offer it. These lengua tacos are easily a MUST HAVE. The meat was so well seasoned and tender. It had everything I wanted in a lengua taco. Another must-try are the birria tacos. The beef was super tender and the cheese pull when eating the tacos were magnificent. The consomé (birria sauce) that you dip the tacos in was so rich and flavorful, pairing amazingly with the tacos. Their elotes were also so tasty -- the charred corn was juicy and sweet while being smothered in cotija cheese and chipotle mayo. The corn was a pretty good size too, so you're definitely getting your money's worth here. The shrimp taco had very juicy shrimp and I love how they included guac on the top of the taco. The al pastor taco was probably my least favorite of the bunch, but it was still pretty solid. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try! Everything was terrific, from the tasty food to the speedy service. It seems like most people order take out but they have a handful of tables to dine in here. I'll be coming back very soon!

I looked around and its very quaint seating at the bar and booths around. I would assume there is outside seating during the spring and summer months. I ordered the Fajita Chimichanga (chicken). There doesn't seem to be an area to sit if you are waiting for take out or at least I wasn't offered a place to sit, no biggie on my part. I was pleasantly surprised how quick my food was brought out by, I think, the manager or owner? Also very friendly. So friendly in fact that when he initially came out he went over to every person in the restaurant and greeted them personally. (It was quite early in the day around 11:45 not a whole lot of people there, but still a very nice thing to do) I got my food brought it back to my office. I was shocked how big the portion was The chimichanga was large and came with refried beans, rice and lettuce, a small side of guac and sour cream AND a small lunch bag full with chips and a small container of salsa. It tasted amazing, now I'm a big guy and can certainly eat and I couldn't finish without feeling like a Macy's thanksgiving day parade balloon!! LOL Now, I won't lie, it was expensive for me at $19.50+tip its very rare that I spend THAT much on lunch for myself alone so I wont be doing that again soon BUT Needless to say it was delicious and when I do go back I will eat in to get the full dining experience.

While he was waiting they offered to comp our meal. Thank you for making it right! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!! I ordered delivery from sombreros this evening. The mark up for ordering online was exorbitant. Then, when the delivery arrived all that was in the bag was chips and salsa. The delivery driver said it was the restaurants fault and we had to call the restaurant. I called the restaurant and they said they would re-fire the order. When my husband got there to pick it up they told him that it was the delivery drivers fault and they would not re fire the food. This is a huge scam. They stole $100 from me. I was a loyal customer, but I will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. I will order from Wonder right next door instead.
