I sweat this place. Hard. It's easily the best Mexican food I've had outside of traveling to Los Angeles. Better, even, then some of the more popular Mexican restaurants in the city. The mole poblano is the best I've ever had and it blows Sol Azteca's out of the water. I've been here for a lot of reasons from a second date to a bridal shower to a birthday dinner for 14. The service, the food and the atmosphere are always great and always consistent. They have live music on weekend nights that adds to the atmosphere but isn't super loud or overwhelming. Just writing this review makes me want to go! Although, I'm secretly always looking for an excuse to go. The margaritas are great, as is the sangria. Chips and salsa are constantly refilled and while the entrees may be on the pricier end (in some people's opinion) I think it's worth it. Try the mole poblano or the chicken santa fe (I think- whatever it is it's wrapped in bacon and that's all I'll say about it) or any of their nightly specials. Plus, if you're pinching pennies they have a selection of burritos, tacos and enchilda combos, none of which are over 10 bucks. read more

I would give El Sarape 3 1/2 Stars... What I liked most about El Sarape is that it feels more authentic than a lot of other Mexican joints around. JT and I spent a wonderful week in Tulum a couple years ago, and when we went to El Sarape for dinner, we were, just for a moment, transported back via our taste-buds! We started with the guacamole and the queso asado. Both, in our experience, were delicious. The guacamole had an incredibly creamy quality to it - almost like it was whipped. Very good. The queso asado was so good, we were literally taking knives and scraping the sides of the crock to get all the bits of cheese off. I decided to get the Tostados. Crispy tortillas layered with beans and beef, melted cheese and lettuce. It could have been spicier, but the flavors were there. There are two tostados on the plate...but after my appetizers, I could only manage to eat one of them. One of the things we liked best about the menu is the option to mix-n-match. My husband was able to try and couple items (enchiladas and something else, but I can't remember) and my Mom did the same. Everyone raved about their food. It definitely lacked that super spicy quality I associate with some Mexican food, but I didn't find anything to be overtly bland...so that was a plus. Finally, dessert. There was this version of what I can only describe as a Mexican cannoli... a sugar shell, rolled and filled with a ricotta cheesecake filling, doused in chocolate and whipped cream... it was absolutely, 100% amazing. I would come back just to eat a couple of those! read more

The outside of El Sarape is deceiving. It looks like it is a small, hole in the wall type place. THEN, you walk inside and see that it is quite spacious, full of Mexican decor, and live music (at least the night I was there)!!! The menu includes all of the classics - fajitas, burritos, etc listed by meat type. I was a bit surprised by the fact that there was not a section for vegetarian entrees. I was able to speak with the waitress and there were several options for me that were vegetarian. The service was good, the food was good, and I will go back and try another veggie option!! read more

Love this place! The margarita's are amazing. The salsa is always fresh. It can be a bit spicy, but still yummy. I always order the same dish, enchilades verdes. We come back again and again and again. ALWAYS a great meal. read more

* Great Food & Prices * I have gone here in the past, and recommend this place to everyone in the South Shore. I work in the South Shore, but since I live up on the North Shore, I can't take the family down here as conveniently as I'd like. They serve up excellent authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices, especially for the Weymouth Landing area. I could taste the fresh ingredients used in the dishes. They have a small bar, but a large tequila and Mexican beer selection. (I'd head there just for the tequila; Don Julio or Don Eduardo will do just fine.) * It's not the Size That Matters * Don't let the exterior appearance of the restaurant fool you. From the outside, this place looks so small that you'd think it was an indoor taco stand. But once inside, you see that it has enough dining space to feed a good number of people. * Rustic Ambiance * The staff was friendly and quick on their service. The restaurant is small, with rural Mexican colors and decor. The background music complimented the mood and environment. They also have live music on the weekends. * My Journey for Mexican Food * From my past trips to Texas, I grew to love authentic Mexican food --there's nothing like spicy food to get you going. I am always on the lookout for good Mexican restaurants, especially back home in New England. This is one of the best Mexican restaurants that I have visited on the East Coast. * Bottom Line * Come to this restaurant for great authentic Mexican food. read more

Such a shame. El Serape used to have amazing food. I went about six years ago for my birthday and remember it as an amazing meal. I've been a few times since then and the quality has steadily declined. My date had enchiladas mole which was just okay. My enchiladas verde were... eh. Our margaritas were not nearly as delicious as I remember from past visits. The chips aren't the fresh, fantastic chips you used to get here -- they're stale and ordinary, as is the salsa. Dead giveaway that the food is no longer what it once was: my date tried to order a dish without bacon and was informed that the dishes were already made and could not be altered. I'm on the lookout for an authentic Mexican restaurant on the South Shore. El Serape is no longer it -- and not even close. read more

Just not good. I have been going to El Sarape for over 15 years, and it has some of the best qualities, but never fails to disappoint. You read that right -- every time we leave the disappointed. It could be so good, but they just don't give a damn. On my last trip, in addition to cold, stale chips and salsa that lacked cilantro and appeared to be from a jar, the best (and really only) reason for going there, fresh corn tortillas, were clearly just generic store bought, nothing special and certainly not freshly made. Then to top it off -- the margarita was made with soda water. WTF?! When I pointed that out, the waiter's reaction was essentially "is there a problem with that." Uh, yeah. There is. You're supposed to be a Mexican restaurant that prides itself on margaritas, and you have someone behind the bar with no clue what she is doing? That wasn't my first seriously disappointing margarita at El Sarpe, but I think it will be my last. If you're in the neighborhood and want good food, walk across the street to Four Square Restaurant & Bar. If you really, *really* want Mexican, drive to East Boston for Taqueria Jalisco -- the best authentic taqueria-style Mexican food in Boston -- or Rosa Mexicano (Seaport) or Casa Romero (Back Bay) for margaritas. By way of background, I have spent years, most of my life, searching out quality Mexican food. Growing up in Santa Barbara (best Mexican food in the world) and having moved to Boston at age 20, I realized too late what I had missed, and vowed to check out every Mexican restaurant that opened in Massachusetts -- and I have probably come close to doing so. Yes my standards are high, but most are not worth the trouble. Yet today, unlike 10 years ago, there are some really decent options around. El Sarpe *used* to be one of the best options around, but the quality there has gone way downhill, and there are now much better options. Read the other reviews -- yes there are some good ones, but you can tell those were either from people affiliated with the restaurant or people haven't before experienced truly authentic, quality Mexican cuisine. Or from people reflecting on their experience there a long time ago. Yes, a loooong time ago it is was a good option -- but no more. And the worst part (or biggest reason to stay away) is the current owners simply don't seem to care. read more

This review is for dinner and drinks. I'm not big on this place. I thought the dishes were over-priced for what you received, the food wasn't great and the chips were stale. We had a fantastic server while the BF and I were there, though. He was attentive and precise. Also, the sangria was tasty. I probably won't return, I think there are better options in the area. read more

I work across the street from El Sarape, and it's very difficult to keep me away! The food is DELICIOUS! I always get the bean burrito with green sauce, which always comes out perfectly hot and gooey! The wonderful handmade chips and salsa are a great starter for the meal, as well as a house margarita! I've had the flan there on several occasions and its pretty tasty. I could go to El Sarape once and week and still crave more! read more

I've been a huge fan of El Sarape for years! The food is as good as it gets for Mexican on the South Shore. I always get the Cadillac Margarita, Chips with Guac and the Tostada without meat. We also get takeout from here a few times a month. It's the perfect excuse to enjoy "just one" marg or Modelo while we wait, since they dont cook the Tostada until we get there (so its as fresh as possible). Totally worth the wait every time. read more

I was really disappointed with El Sarape. My friends and I went here after reading about them in an article of the 32 best Mexican restaurants in the U.S. (will post link at end). Seriously though, being in an article like that, you would expect to find the most delicious and authentic food around. Wrong. The margaritas were ok, nothing spectacular. The sangria was bland and we all detected cinnamon in it, which was REALLY weird. The chips and salsa were pretty good, but that's kind of hard to mess up. The guac was just ok, but we were so hungry that we would have devoured anything in front of us. I got fajitias, which were pretty good. I had to go digging under the mountain of onions to find the meat, which turned out to be the best part of the meal. The seasoning was great! The re-fried beans were black beans though which I had never seen before, and did not love. A few of my friends got the enchiladas verde which were said to be a "highlight" according to the article. They were meh. Also, the burrito that was ordered just had chicken and cheese in it. How very odd. Service was lovely, so I have to give credit for that. Seriously though, better food at Chipotle. article: http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/best-mexican-restaurants-in-the-us.html/28 read more

Why does this place only have 3.5 stars? I haven't found a mexican joint that even compares to El Sarape. The food is fresh and consistently delicious, and the drinks are top notch. Try the Enchiladas Poblanas. El Sarape is hands down my favorite restaurant. The outside may be a bit run down, but isn't that just a sign of authenticity? read more

The Carnitas are so extra special that my wife and I drive over an hour to get them My wife really likes their sangria She also likes their beef enchiladas with red sauce read more

Got to listen to the waitress argue with a customer about the temp of her soup for 5 minutes, employees talking shit about each other in front of the 15+ people waiting to be seated... Oh & the highlight of my experience was the 2 nice & big thick black hairs in my rice... Yum. I'll stick with La Paloma read more

So I've read the reviews and I must say this was a huge disappointment. I expected so much better. The food was either way too salty or way too bland. I think i have had better Mexican at a Taco Bell! read more

I know this place is supposed to be authentic and on the recommendation of my foodie ex, who really knows his food, I chose to bring some friends here. What a disappointment. My friends, who are also fellow foodies, and I were really disappointed by this place. None of us found the food authentic (having eaten at some solid places on the west coast) or even that great. I don't know if we chose an off night or what. El Sarape really wasn't worth the out of the way drive at all. It tasted more like generic chain restaurant food. read more

El Sarape gets for stars because it has been the best mexi food I have had in Mass. It reminds me of some of the stuff you find back home in Cali. and thats good enough for me. The margs. were good and pretty reasonable. I got the chicken mole. Mole is my favorite thing in the world and pretty much base a restaurant's "goodness" factor on it. They did a very nice job. Good margs and mole. Well done. ay ay and ole. read more

I ordered a chili rellano special as an app. and it was excellent. I had two Margaritas and they were very good, small for the price but still tasty. I got enchiladas and asked them to put a mole sauce on instead of the tomatillo that was on the menu. It was the best authentic mole sauce I've had in years. Where others usually fail they succeeded in using just the right amount of Mexican chocolate (what makes it a mole sauce) which didn't make the sauce bitter or over powering like so many other restaurants. I had flan for dessert and it was purrrfect. I ordered take out to for a Mexican friend that was at home & ill in bed. It was the chicken dish with mango salsa, it was well received and I was told it was delicious, and that is by someone from Mexico. My server was AMAZING; she could answer all of my questions (a true task) about the menu and seemed to really care. For this fussy foodie I can say it is some of the most authentic Mexican I've had the pleasure to consuime in ages! Do not expect Tex-Mex prices, you are going to pay a few dollars more here for the real deal. read more

I am a big fan of authentic Mexican food. So when I found out that this place is in Braintree I had to give it a try. I stopped by for late lunch on Saturday with my family and we are all satisfied with the food and the service. Nachito was fresh and tasty and the order came out promptly. Margarita was such a pleasure with a right amount of salt and lemon. I ordered Mole Poblano and my family ordered chicken burrito and carne asado. Ironically, it all tasted so authentic as if we were back in Mexico. The Mole sauce was not as spicy as how I had in Cholula, Puebla but the texture of the chicken with chocolate and the taste of the rice and black frijoles were superb. I think I can request the spicy level on my next visit so it really was not a big deal. Enchilada that came with asado was magnificent(I had to take a bite out of my husband's dish) and the steak was juicy. All the food was fresh and well presented-we were happy pigs. Although, the restaurant was fairly busy, our waiter was very attentive to our table. Free parking, great price/service and authentic mex food without flying 8 hrs- I'm sold. Note: If you are looking for a generic tex-mex, this place is not for you. -Go to chipotle If you are looking for a fusion modern mex, this place is not for you. -Go to chipotle If you are looking for a fancy decorative restaurant, this place is not for you. -Stay home read more

While still on our search for decent Mexican food south of Boston, we figured we'd check out El Sarape. Yelp gives it an ok rating, and some folks said it's kickin'...so last night we decided on a whim to try it out. Arriving just after 7:30 we almost turned around based on the condition of the awning outside. That would have been the smart move. We entered and since we couldn't see a podium anywhere we just kind of milled around the bar area (seats available) until we figured out the only guy not wearing black in the dining area was the host. He sat us within about a minute after clearing a table. The booths are from a diner at best but functional. Decoration blah. Ok so we wait for a server. Our server comes with water and is pleasant enough...drinks and chips..? Sure...Guac...Sure...After 14 minutes chips arrive. Little scoop of Guac, (from a bag like you get in the grocery store) some horribly watery salsa (probably from a jar) and chips which may have been fresh in the morning but are OK by now. She lets us know drinks will be delayed as there is a big party who just ordered. OK. 20 minutes after this drinks arrive. Weak is a nice thing to say about them. We order from the "Authentic Mexican Cuisine" menu...really it says it on the cover. No apps as they only offer a few and we just paid for the guac so OK. We sit, we talk...the server comes back over...our entrees are almost up. Another round of drinks please...15 minutes later drinks come back but one of them is rocks but should be blended....Oh sorry do you want me to have that remade. REALLY? You placed the order you should know it's wrong. 10 Minutes later...entrees are delayed, more chips? Sure why not. 15 minutes later our food arrives. Our server seems to magically disappear when not talking to us. Entrees: Taquito Poblano: mole sauce is from a can. Enchilada Rojo...sauce no doubt from a can. Rice: boring. Refried Black Beans: surprisingly tasty...the chipotle in it gives a wonderful smokey taste. Another 1/2 hour to get check, pay and leave. 2 hours for an entree only meal...not right, but more to the point...where is the authentic..or even where is the fresh? Mexican cuisine is about bright pops of flavor. Cilantro, Lime, Onion, Chipotle, Jalapeño, FRESH flavors, not things scooped out of a jar and served. Also fresh ingredients like marinated grilled chicken thigh, not precooked chicken pieces. Can no one do Mexican right? Sigh. read more

Fantastic meal this afternoon. Been a few years since I've been here, the place has had a facelift and it's great and very comfortable. The food as well as the beverage were outstanding. Service (we sat at high top bar table) was fantastic and our bar lady was always on point. Can't wait to take friends. I know I'll be back, and very soon. read more

This is my favorite sit-down Mexican place in the Boston area, despite the sometimes-bad service and cheesy decor that other people have mentioned. El Sarape has my most favorite dish of ALL TIME of any restaurant that I've ever been to-- it's shrimp and has a long Spanish name I can't pronounce. The salsa and chips are sooooo good-- fresh, fresh, fresh and delicious. Although the decor is a little tacky, it's an inviting and comfortable place. Be aware that on Thursday through Saturdays nights, the place is absolutely packed. About the parking-- if you can't find any street parking, there is a lot with an entrance a few hundred feet away (in the direction of Braintree) on the same side of the street. It's hard to see, but it's there and there's plenty of parking to be had. read more

If I had to choose one word to sum up the food at El Sarape it would be "bland". My wife had the chicken mole and I had the tacos caseras. Both had minimal seasoning if any and the mole had a lot of cinnamon flavor. I intend to never go back, even though the service was quite good. Salsa's in Hingham is far far better. read more

The negatives: 1) 95% of the food we ordered, lacked sufficient seasoning. 2) The Burrito was more like a slice of lasagna. You couldn't hold it and it was flat. 3) On a Friday night, it took us 30 minutes to get seated. Which isn't out of the ordinary. But, it took another 20 minutes to actually get a drink from our server. The positives 1) the guacamole was good. 2) Drinks are good 3) The live music was appropriate. If you want authentic Mexican Food, you're in the wrong place. If you want to stop for drinks on your way to dinner, check it out. read more

This is my new go to Mexican spot! They have classic home made dishes. The flavor on their carnitas dish is amazing! Who knew you could pack so much flavor into a small dish! The pollo Monterrey was literally wrapped in bacon! Who can not love that! Dessert we got the sarape roll which was crazy good, and the pastel which was a coconut cheesecake and it was DELICIOUS! I love how the waiter treated us like family, we will definitely be back! read more

I live directly above Sarape so on our once a week take out I decided to give them a try and I was so disappointed. The food was mediocre at best and the portion left a lot to desire. The steak I ordered was simply seasoned with pepper nothing else. Never again! read more

OVERRATED. Mexican place that TRIES to go upscale. Food is just OK and overpriced. None of us were impressed with the food. We ordered several dishes. The staff was nice, though. read more

Stopped in for takeout on the way home from work. It was a rainy Tuesday night and the place was near empty. It's not that big of a place to begin with. When you walk in you're immediately at the bar area. The bartender takes care of the takeout orders. Their menu has some authentic dishes along with the usual fare you may be used to. We started off with the nachos, which were good, though they were packaged upside down in the to-go container. My Wife had the Chilaquiles and it was very good. I went with the Chiles Rellenos, also very good. They do give you chips and salsa with the take-out order. The wait was not bad, and the prices are reasonable. read more

I have so many great memories of this place. I meet one of my friends who lives on the South Shore here for girls nights. She always insists that she can come to Boston, but dealing with Rt. 93 traffic during rush hour for El Sarape is totally worth it. This is how a typical Friday evening at El Sarape goes for me: 5:30-7pm I curse the traffic heading from Cambridge to Braintree. Why am I doing this yet again?? 7pm I arrive. Oh yeah, *that's* why I deal with the traffic! 7-7:10 We wait for a table, listening to the live music. I contemplate getting a drink but decide to wait until we get seated. 7:10 We get seated. Drink please! Should we share an entire pitcher of sangria? I think so. 7:25 We still don't order because we haven't even opened our menus yet. Chips + salsa + sangria + catching up leaves little time to look at trivial things like menus. 7:30 We realize that we are getting the same thing that we always do. Enchiladas please! Do we want to share the Queso Asado? Hell yes we do. 7:35 We begin to fill ourselves with cheesy goodness. Thoughts of Rt. 93 are now entirely non-existent. The rest of the evening is filled with more amazing food, live music and good service. We have dessert, but it's totally a safety thing. We need time to get our BACs down before heading off. Who said that dessert can't be a healthy choice? Basically, El Sarape is one of my favorite Mexican places. It's super fun, and the food is really, really good, especially for the Boston area. I highly recommend making the trip from the city. For those of you who live in the South Shore: what are you doing reading this review? Get your tuchas to El Sarape right now! read more

I. love. El. Sarape. I would give it a 4.5 if I could. The only missing piece is the decor for me. Their food is absolutely delicious. I eat here all the time, and I think between my family, myself, and my husband we have tried every dish on the menu. Their chicken dishes (pollo a la naranja, pollo mango), tortilla dishes (tostadas, enchiladas), seafood dishes (camarones javier, pescado cilantro) and meat dishes (carnitas appetizer, puerco en adobo) are all amazing. I've never had something here that I didn't love. Enchiladas verdes is my favorite. 5/5 on the verde sauce scale. Their chips and salsa are also awesome with homemade chips and cilantro-y salsa. Overall, pretty much my favorite restaurant. Love, love. And that's all I have to say about that. read more

I have seen the reviews of people claiming that El Sarape is "going downhill" but I have yet to have a bad meal here, quality is still superb. Most recently, my boyfriend and I ventured out on a Saturday during a blizzard, having no heat/electricity, for a nice warm meal. El Sarape was one of the only restaurants open, so as you can imagine, it was swamped. Upon being seated, the waitress informed us that they were extremely short staffed. 2 waitresses, a bartender, a hostess, and very little kitchen staff. I was not surprised, it was a snowstorm and we voluntarily went out to dinner, knowing full well what we were getting ourselves into. The waitress was very sweet (Felicia?) and kept apologizing for the wait. They did a great job keeping up with all the customers trying to make sure everyone was satisfied. Great, hardworking staff! When our meals came out, they fresh and hot, not to mention delicious. I got the camarones cliantro and was very happy the dish. I have tried many of the chicken and fish dishes, and they all do not dissapoint. Always delicious, fresh, and very flavorful. In addition to great, authentic Mexican dishes, the drinks are something special too. Great margaritas. The mango margarita has to be the best. The bartender is great, he's worked there forever! The only things keeping me from giving El Sarape 5 stars is the price, seems to be a little pricey for not-so-big portions, but the quality almost makes up for it. Also, PLEASE FIX THE OUTDOOR AWNING! El Sarape is not asthetically pleasing by any stretch of the imagination. I can only imagine they would do much better business with a little curb appeal. read more

Solid mexican food surrounded by Dunkin donuts and Papa Ginos! Grabbed some chicken tortilla with beans and rice, very nice, easy parking, and good food. The sauce was the best part, since it was spicy but not too hot. read more

Great food! Have heard of this place for years, we usually go to Acapulcos, but no more! Loved the Shrimp Javier, which is shrimp over pureed mash potatoes! Sarape roll for desert was a sweet pastry shell wrapped around cheesecake, which chocolate drizzle and ala mode. To die for. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his carne asada. Only down side, to my estimation, is esthetics...it looks dirty from the street, old awning/signage that has seen better days and kind of beat up and dusty looking inside. The bartender James, was pleasant, knowledgable, and made some tasty drinks for hubby and I! Great guy! Can't wait to try more of the food, so far they are on the money. read more

El Sarape has the best Mexican food on the South Shore. I love their steak fajitas. Call ahead to see when they offer live music. The frozen margaritas are the best. Cons- on street parking is difficult, but plenty of parking out back and you may enter through their back door as you pass the kitchen. The toppings for fajitas are charged separately and not included as part of the meal... (Sour cream, lettuce, tomato). It can also get a bit noisy in the restaurant. However, the food is excellent. read more

I remember this place being much much better about 10 years ago! We recently went there for a very rare "date-night" with the kids at home. The food was so-so, the food menu menu was quite limited, as was the beer list. However the sangria and refried beans were both quite good! Over all it was just ok and it was so noisy and crowded anf also pretty expensive for what you get. I've had much better mexican food. read more

This was probably the worst take out experience I've ever had. We ordered two burritos and a side of guacamole. We were told they don't do steak... fine I'll get chicken. Asked how long said 25 minutes.... asked how much and it came out to over $40 for two burritos and a side of guacamole. Arrived at the restaurant about 30 minutes... was told a few minutes longer.... waited 10 minutes and the person checking us out couldn't figure out the card machine. 5 minutes later the card was finally run. Stood inside for 30 minutes waiting for food. Finally it got out and we get home and this is what we got. I'm so disappointed. Everything tasted like black pepper. The small bit of guac we got was good. But I literally had to scrap the edges of styrofoam to get some guac. I'm beyond disappointed based on the reviews. I will not be returning. read more

Well I don't really like Mexican food, I have a sensitive stomach. But my friends told me I just HAD to try this place. So I gave it a go on a sunday night. Walking in we had no reservations and 5 in our group and a table was instantly cleared for us. We sat down taking in the great decor and met our waiter Miguel. His service performance was perfect, came to ask us how our food and drinks were at the right times, and kept our glasses filled with water. When I began to order my first item he said it was a very 'heavy' item on the stomach and he would let me try a bit of the sauce before the meal was made. After sampling the sauce I realized it was a bit too crazy for me and he recommended another option that was the same thing with a different sauce. The meal ended up being delicious. Everything was like legit so fresh tasting. And not an ounce of trouble with my stomach. Even the tortilla bread was heavenly smelling. The service and food were just impeccable. All other restaurants should be run like this. read more

I wish this place was closer. We went there on a Friday for lunch. I was very surprised that this place wasn't packed. There was only one server so the service was just OK. However the food is fantastic. Hot crisp and lightly salted chips with EXCELLENT salsa - fresh ingredients with a medium tomato consistency versus the usual watery consistency. The only drawback was that it wasn't spicy at all. Next time I'll ask for the spicy stuff. OK the food you actually pay for is great. You can't go wrong with anything you order. Carnitas is excellent, fried steak is a go. I really recommend the fish or chicken with the cilantro coriander sauce. The sauce is amazing - I could eat it like a soup. read more

This is a place that definitely satisfies my search for good, authentic Mexican food. The food was absolutely excellent; fresh, hot and flavorful. They have a great dessert selection, something I find that most restaurants slack off on if when their cuisine is mostly known for their entrees. The price for every dish was very reasonable, I left with my wallet still having some weight in it. Always a plus! The service is what pushes this review up to the 5th star. Our server was very attentive, patient and considerate. When one of our friends was being indecisive about the spiciness of a dish, the server happily offered to bring over a sample. He did not rush us, he made sure we had chips and water at all times and always had a smile on his face. It was probably some of the best service I had ever had, with the close competitors being from pricey high-end restaurants. That says a lot! read more
