Birria tacos
Diana H.

Love the Birria tacos! I would gladly return just to eat that. Must pair w hot sauce but use sparingly. Super friendly mom and pop shop atmosphere.

Nachos de carne asada

You will not be disappointed. My new fav spot. 10/10 would recommended. Nachos are pretty lit! H

The sliver of chewy carne Asada Burrito/Steak Burrito in the sea of rice.
Stephen D.

As our quest continues to eat our way across America we stopped at Las Cocinas Mexicanas at 1673 Main St, Leicester, MA 01524. Reviews seemed pretty solid so we thought to give it a try. What a disappointment. We've had burritos from all over the country and this by far had to be one of the worst. Where should I start, from the lack luster plain flavorless rice , which there's a lot of, actual majority of the burrito is rice. Hardly any meat or cheese and sour cream. Just a few tomatoes and a couple pieces of romaine lettuce , just enough that it counts as an ingredient. The carne asada , when you do find some in the sea of rice, is chewy and cut so small that it's hard to tell if you've gotten any. The Al Pastor is slightly better but still no flavor and is unrecognizable from the rice. For $11.25 a burrito it's not the best choice. I've had better for $9 or less. Maybe it's the best you can get in this area and the locals are used to this plain tasting wanna be burritos. I wouldn't recommend eating here nor would I be returning.

Leaves a lot to be desired. The ingredients were very fresh, but it would have definitely used some pico or even queso. (Chicken burrito)

Great location, outside seating and some amazing food. I love that I can bring my dog here with me-…read morehe likes the beans and rice as much as I do! Really nothing bad on the menu- the nachos were huge and so are the burritos - you must come hungry. Better take out experience than indoor seating personally but really worth it. Burris tacos are OUTSTANDING

As I once posted before, why is it so hard to find decent take out in this area?…read more My wife LOVES Mexican food and was excited over this place opening up. We had gotten take out before from Mexicali's, but seems better dine in vs take out. Underwhelmed is the best description considering the high hopes we had intended. I got the Carne Asade. They asked and I requested Med rare, steak came out well done and kinda dry and not much flavor. White rice had no flavor, included a salad that came with no dressing. Didn't even receive any wraps we thought were included. BTW: Why do these dopey restaurants put the "COLD" salad in with the "HOT" meal???? Thank god they don't have Ice cream! Otherwise, I might have found that in the container too! The salsa seemed good at first, but after a few bites with the greasy chips included, it was also bland, very little flavor. How about some Cilantro and Lime guys? Maybe a little Salt and Pepper? I've had a better experience at Chipotle's, and they're a CHAIN! There is a Framingham location, with rave (or fake) reviews. Maybe they need to send the cooks down to Leicester? Lift these dopey cooks up in the air by their shirt collar with one hand, then slap their faces back and forth all while saying: STOP PUTTING COLD SALAD IN WITH HOT FOOD! "SLAP"! "SLAP"! Honorable mentions: Cancun Family Mexican Restaurant in Kingston off route 3 (was a Ho Jo's back in the day) and Casa Vallarta Northborough near Walmart. As for Mexacali's..Ehhh... Kinda expensive and mediocre for take out.

Went once more figuring maybe I came on a bad night last time. Not only was the service just as…read moreterrible as I remember at the bar ... bartender stood in a corner of the very long bar and talked to a friend for 20-30 minutes ignoring other patrons ... this time the food was terrible. Last time it was edible, tasting more like high school cafeteria food than a restaurant's. This time it was absolutely gross and full of grease. It tasted rancid. I took two bites and pushed it away. We literally had a couple drinks here (getting two drinks from the inattentive bar staff took almost 45 minutes total time spent at the bar) and then went next door to Jasmine to get food because what we were served at Margaritagrill was so bad. Also, they have Bud on draft for $2 per glass. I ordered a Bud Light figuring it was the same brand so it must be the same price but were charged $3.50 for Bud Light draft Thats an expensive subtraction of calories. We ended up unknowing paying $1.50 more for each drink because we ordered Bud Light vs. Bud. Weird. We knew to stay away from the 'special' Margaritas because of the total lack of alchohol from the last time. How does this place stay open?

Had a sudden hankering for good, Mexican food. The Wife had been here many times over the years and…read moresaid it was good, so off we went. [You'd think after all the reviews I've written, I would have checked Yelp first, right?] We knew we were in trouble when we noticed that (1) not one table had salsa or chips, (2) the menu had perhaps four Mexican-esque dishes in total --- not the usual multiple page menu offering a variety of tacos, burritos, etc. and (3) the sides offered with our meals were two different kinds of fries, slaw, or chili. French fries with your tacos? Huh? Fast forward to the food. I ordered the fried shrimp tacos with spicy aiolo. Shrimp weren't fried, and the aioli was (as near as I can tell) a very watery and not-hot-at-all salsa-like substance. Opted for the chili as my side. Another poor decision on my part. I'm not a fan of really sweet chili, so if you are, this is your go-to chili spot. The chili had no heat and a lot of sweet. The Wife ordered the chicken quesadillas. Let's just say that it looked better than it tasted --- very bland and uninspiring. Just blah. So, about 43 dollars later, we left very unimpressed. Pricey for mediocre (at best) lunch fare, no chips, no salsa and not much flavor. Suffice to say, this is not a "Mexican restaurant" like I was expecting where, you know, they serve MEXICAN food. This is definitely not the kind of place where you are going to find a great homemade mole sauce or freshly-made tamales. Maybe go for the margarita's (it's in their name, so they have to be good, right?) and skip the rest. Note: The best part of the meal was our waitress who was quick to refill our drinks, personable and friendly. We left her a good tip; she can't help the bad food.
