    Mahi mahi taco and cod taco
    Alexandra K.

    Decided to try this restaurant with a friend because it was open on mondays. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable and restaurant appeared clean and well taken care of. We ordered a couple margaritas, chips and salsa, Fritos with chili, and two tacos each. Fritos we're a little underwhelming, good but not great. The salsa with the chips had a good kick. Tacos were very tasty though small for the price. Margaritas were good but I couldn't taste any of the tequila. Ultimately I would go back again, but feel the tacos were about $2-3 more each than they should have been.

    Wow. Just went here for the first time. As much as I listen to negative reviews, I'm very much an advocate for forming my own opinions. Let me just say, the tacos, drinks, hot sauces...all amazing. This might become my new go to south shore taco spot. I really can't wrap my head around the negative reviews. If this spot had outdoor space, it would absolutely clean up. Go to The Parrot for the view, come here for drinks and food. Wife and I will be back.

    Umm... OK so 3 stars on average? Sure. I guess. So my wife and sister and brother-in-law are trying to go out for a quick dinner toward the end of the evening on a Thursday night in Hull... there's a pretty good restaurant scene here, but things start shutting down at 8:45. If you don't get into a restaurant by 8:30, you'll end up at Parrot, which is one of the only places that stays open later... actually Tipsy Tuna is a new place that's open late. But they're exclusively fried seafood. Anyway we realize we're in a rush at about 7:45. Problem is that our 17 year old daughter and my sister's 11 year old son and his friend need food quickly. So hustle up from the beach and decide we'll call the taco place at the base of the hill to grab a couple of quesadillas and burrito. I call to place the order at 8:20, but the lady says "oh can you place the order on our online app?" I say sure. So I place the order online at 8:25. I notice however that the online app says the food will be ready at 9:10. And O couldn't believe it would take 45 minutes to prepare 2 cheese quesadillas and a chicken burrito... We didn't want to wait that long, so I ran down to the corner to just be there and check I and ask them to move it along. I figured it was just a glitch in the app. I mean this place is never really slammed. WhenI got there I explained that I was in a rush and suggested they could just cancel that order if it made a difference. The strange thing is that there were only two people in the place. So I was pretty sure they'd be able to knock out order out faster. A guy came in and I thought he was ordering... at around 8:45 the staff started bagging up an order... but not was the other guy's. Mine came out at 8:50. This isn't that big a deal. But the quesadillas were super small. So my wife was upset that the boys wouldn't have enough (that's all they were eating...). And my daughter got corn in her burrito (which she didn't order). I had a bite of the burrito and thought it was good. But honestly, they're just slow. Maybe that's why there's not normally many people in there? BTW, I've had the tacos and bowls from there and I thought they've been excellent.

    Nice beer selection, good tacos moderately priced. Choose your style; Americano $4 (lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, ground beef or pork) or EOs $6-7 (chicken, beef , pork, shrimp, cod or Mahi Mahi served with pico de Gallo, avocado, slaw and cilantro. Tortilla options: soft flour, corn or white corn(gluten free). There are 7 sauce options and 4 heat options. Apps are limited to Chips and salsa/ avocado and Spanish rice. Full bar with cocktail menu. Don't expect staff to bend over backwards. It's a chill atmosphere but one server multitasking as hostess and bartender. Relax and enjoy.

    Ew freezing cold they forgot the rice tiny THUMBS DOWN!

    Im floored people pay for this horrible food... No flavor at all never have i walked out of a restaurant I didn't eat more than one bite of this meal there was absolutely no flavor at all nothing seasoned soggy chips not one person in there and they didn't have time to melt the cheese on top it looked like someone threw it together with their eyes closed and the audacity to charge me $9 for something I didn't eat never ever will I return then I don't recommend it

    Food is ok. Nothing to brag about. Probably wouldn't go back. The margaritas were tasty.

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!

Very yummy especially when paired with their warmed tortillas. We also tried their Birria Tacos but found the meat a little dry unfortunately. Not bad, just not the best dish of the night. Also, the staff here are incredibly nice! There is a very homey & warm atmosphere here. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.
