We walked in for lunch randomly. This little Mexico place amazed us and exceeded our expectations. It is quiet and nice with authentic lively Mexican vibe. The food portion was generous with many free add-ons, offering great value. We ordered beef Barbacoa bowl and spicy chicken tinga taco. Both were fresh and full of flavor. Strongly recommend. read more

Thursday early dinner. 1) Shrimp tacos: They were okay. Tortillas were off. 2) Pupusas: Great flavor and the curtido was very good. But pupusas are under-filled. I usually see them stuffed way more. 3) Chips and salsa: Solid. Very solid salsa. Fresh tasting tortilla chips. read more

An upgraded Chipotle-esque experience! You build-your-own-item (bowl, burrito, taco, etc). Their ingredient selection is def more extensive and better than Chipotle's. We got the Beef Barbacoa and Spicy Chicken Tinga bowls. They stuffed the bowls with protein and add-ons, so much that I had 1.5 meals worth. Plus, they don't charge extra for guac too! Amazing value read more

Mamacita Mexican Comida - Menu as of 2/1/26 - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We're so lucky to have this place near campus. I've been coming here for two years now and always get the carnitas bowl, which is huge, flavorful, and super satisfying, and the pickled onions, chipotle aioli, and especially plantains you can add are fantastic. Not to mention that the vibe is so fun (a few huge tables at the back for a group) and the staff are always so, so lovely (shout out to the manager who is super welcoming). Thanks, guys! PS Can't wait to try the pupusas... read more

" Good , fresh and affordable " The good here is absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed my time here . I really enjoyed the food . The service is good and friendly. The vibe is welcoming and warm . read more

Fun place that's easy to get to and grab a quick meal. I had a carnitas rice bowl that really hit the spot and I also thought the guacamole was excellent too. My kid had the steak rice bowl which tasted good but the meat was a little tough. The decor is mesmerizing and I really dug it. I'd definitely come back. read more

Mamacita is a fast casual Mexican food restaurant on Huntington Ave by Northeastern. I hate to say it but after hearing great things about Mamacita from Northeastern students, especially compared to El Jefes, I was pretty disappointed. The portions here are good but the food itself was average. I got rice, chicken, pineapple salsa, salsa verde, refried beans, lettuce, pickled onions, and onion and cilantro. The rice tasted like the kind from a bag and the most flavor I tasted was from the onions. It wasn't horrible but I think El Jefes is much better and I don't even love it that much. It is a better place to go if you want to sit but I wouldn't come back. read more

If you're vegetarian do not go here there are other better vegetarian Mexican places nearby (Anna's and el jefes). Their rice is horrible and the veggies are literally just carrots and like onions? I don't know but it's just not good compared to the other places around. Otherwise it's a nice restaurant that sells alcohol I guess. read more

Awesome as always! What a great atmosphere! Great fun music, amazing decor, good filling tasty food and good service great value! What more could you ask for???? Go here if you haven't already! One tip - get their loyalty card and get it stamped every time for rewards! Have your 9th meal on them!!! read more

An upscale chipotle-style restaurant, you order at the counter. There is a glass partition with different types of meats, beans, rice, taco toppings, etc. You can get tacos, a bowl, grilled corn, drinks, etc. Looks like a staple for the university community nearby. Was pretty good! read more

The Northeastern U area has quite a shortage of decent Mexican food. Qdoba..ehh, plus was way better in 2005 - 2010 time when the mole sauce existed. El Jefe's Taqueria is good but there lacks some flavor/spices. Same with Amelias Taqueria. Then came this place. Ordered delivery. First off one of the few places that serves pupusas, I think closest other place that does that is in Brigham Circle, so awesome! Also ordered double decker taco chicken tinga, burrito with barbacoa, chips and queso. - Pupusas: I ordered two, I think they need to update doordash because looks like there were two different kinds, both were delicious! The slaw was well seasoned but not watery, and the tomato sauce with it was excellent. - Double decker chicken tinga taco: I could taste the tinga flavors through and through, was great! My only regret, my own fault, probably should've skipped refried beans because the hard shell was soft by the time it was delivered. - Chips and queso: Queso tasted good, similar to taco bell nacho cheese. If you're not into that kind of cheese, skip it, but I like it. - One giant Barbacoa burrito: Won't be dissappointed by the size, they fill that tortilla to the brim. Trying to take a photo of it, but if I cut it in half, it would be quite a mess, but great ingredients, great barbacoa! I didn't ask for rice but was in there anyway, guess next time will put note no rice. All and all, good food delivered. Will stop on by one day in the restaurant too. read more

Standard fast Mexican food. Honestly, pretty comparable to a lot of the other Mexican places in the area like Amelia's and Jefe's, and at a similar price point too. I'm picky because I'm from California where the Mexican food is much better. My go to is the carnitas bowl and it is always enough for two meals. No specific complaints, it just lacks the flavor of more refined Mexican restaurants. read more

My favorite place in Boston so far. Went the first time due to convenience, but have come back several times. The place has good vibes and everything I've had has been excellent. I'm also a sucker for a good hot sauce collection, which they have. read more

Food was good but my friend and I noticed (after finishing our food) that there were several mice running around on top of the counter where the hot sauces were laid out. Trash cans were under that counter so I imagine that's what the mice were interested in. There were also tons of mouse traps (the glue kind ) around, under the seats. I had my service dog with me and I'm so glad his tail didn't get stuck to one. I know it's Boston and it's very difficult to keep vermin controlled but this was gross. I won't be coming back. read more

A personal favorite! Service is always fast and portions are fair for boston. Watch out for the hot sauce though, if it says it hot it's really hot lol. Will recommend! read more

Mamacita Mexican Comida - Burrito bowl - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Neat Mexican place in the basement on my way back from Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. Decent price and large burritos with a side of chips - be hungry or plan to share. read more

To be honest, I go here more often than I should. But why not? It's amazing. I always get a burrito, and they're enourmous and delicious. Servers are kind, and the vibe in the dining room is great. They also have a rewards card that I use to justify my excessive burrito ordering. read more

My current favorite takeout spot! I stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for taco delivery. I haven't been thrilled with orders elsewhere so decided to give this a try. So glad I did because I have ordered 3-4 times over the past month or so! I especially love the options for tacos. First, they have an adobo seasoned tofu (I always get this) or Mexican falafel (haven't tried yet). Then, a variety of sauces (I go with the Chile aioli). And finally things like cheese and pickled jalapeño. An order comes with two tacos with double tortillas. The downside is that the tacos don't stay together all the time. They often get soggy and fall apart. If you are looking for takeout vegetarian tacos plus chips and guacamole, try this place out! read more

A really cute place to get Mexican food! The artwork was fun and colorful. The seating was also roomy and there were even cushioned seats in the back. The service was a lot like chipotle and we were served very quickly. The ingredients tasted fresh, the bowl wasn't too salty, and the rice was so flavorful. I didn't feel weighed down afterward. The portions were quite big and could probably last for multiple meals or people. They had so many options that it could fit pretty much any dietary restriction. Vegetarians should try the tofu or Mexican falafels if you are looking for a protein. This is a great place for families or students to share a meal. read more

Great service, great portions and fast service. Got the rice bowl and enchiladas here. Hard to go wrong if you're looking for fast-casual Mexican food that also tastes great. read more

There's a couple other Mexican restaurants on Huntington Ave, but this one definitely stands out from the rest. They have unlimited free toppings like El Jeffe's, but I'd say the differentiating factor is their ambiance and potentially their specials. If you'd like to sit down and enjoy your food in a wonderfully decorated and vibey atmosphere, you should give this place a shot. (Will update once the special menu is available) read more

We go here atleast once a week! Quick, local, friendly, good portion sizes, and super tasty. It's kinda like what chipotle wishes it could be. Highly recommend for the next time you need a quick meal! read more

Walked in on a whim. Very fresh fare generous portions and very delicious. I will return.

I've lived in this neighborhood for a few years now and hands down, this is the best overall taqueria around here! they have the largest menu and everything is amazin, you can taste the difference in flavor profile! Plus, they have margaritaaaaaaaasss....... highly recommend read more

Came with my family to eat some dinner and just as we were finished we saw 2 mice running around. I also noticed a bug near the food area which scared me to death. read more

This place is one of the best Mexican eateries. Having tried Qdoba, Chipotle, and Cava, I'd say this one is the best so far with a variety of scrumptious tapas. A bunch of us had visited this place and we each tried a different dish including tacos (birria, regular and double decker), enchilada and a bowl and all of us were blown by the taste. The service is great and you can enjoy drinks if you like. It is definitely a must try! read more

Aww what a lovely decor..! We made it here tad before noon and there wasn't a long line to place the order. I ordered the rice bowl with spicy chicken tings and pinto beans and fried plantains, onions and tomato salsa. My bowl was mighty delicious. They have numerous toppings to choose from. The service was quick, decor vibrant and food super delicious. Highly recommend Mamacita for some healthy, filling, real food. read more

Second time here. Food was generally very good. But I don't recommend getting the steak as the protein. My tacos had several hard/fatty pieces. read more

Great homemade Mexican food. Informal , warm and clean space. Really responsive staff. We ordered a burrito, rice bowl and quesadillas. The burrito and the quesadillas were amazing ! Rice bowl was good, with a nice kick. We shared some churros as dessert. Great experience, home made food at great prices. read more

Think Chipotle but better in every way. More variety including double decker taco, enchiladas, and quesabirria tacos. All the protein options looked delicious, including the vegetarian ones. A good list of toppings and sauces as well. Everything just looked authentic and tasted amazing. read more

There are several options for this genre within a short distance of each other. I often overlooked Mamacita in ignorance of just how good their food is. No more. I work in the area and am "on ground" 2-3 days each week. Since someone recommended this place to me a few weeks ago, they have become my default "go to." The staff is very pleasant and friendly. The meats are thoroughly cooked, flavorful and tender. You have ample sides/toppings that are done with care. And the price is quite reasonable. I look forward to heading there again this upcoming week! read more

Wow. Delicious. I ordered in for the first time. The rice bowl was plentiful. The green sauce was SO GOOD. Everything was flavorful which I find lacking in a lot of the high-volume Mexican restaurants in Greater Boston (even the authentic ones, not the chains). read more

No sauces with the tacos or onions and cilantro. Needs more love to their food. Good flavor but where is the sauce

Currently sitting in the ER waiting room with my girlfriend after both eating Mamacita's last night. Had a small lunch with no meat in it and the onset of symptoms was exactly within range of that of food poisoning after we had eaten their chicken quesadilla's. Terrible nausea all day and have been unable to consume any fluids in 24 hours. Moreover, my brother ate the pork with no sickness at all, while my girlfriend and I both had the chicken and have been out of commission all day - leading us to strongly believe it was the chicken. Not one to usually write bad reviews like this, but we attempted to contact the restaurant to let them know they may have some infected chicken, to which they basically told us to go away - leaving me no other choice but to come to Yelp. read more

Ok so I keep giving this place the benefit of the doubt, but honestly I'm always disappointed. I get 5 pupusa and only get two small side of curtido slaws( like hello are we supposed to eat ) And is not a cheap place to eat five pupusa two drinks is 30 plus then 10% tips $3. Im ok with this place......... I guess I would have to go to East Boston for pupusa read more

Mamacita Mexican Comida - Pupusa this is what you get for five pupusa - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

You know it's bad when you wish you went Qdoba instead... Prices do not match what they posted online. On their website it says $9.50 for a burrito and $1 extra for steak. When you get there, it's $10 a burrito and $2 extra for steak. Not a huge deal but they were incredibly stingy with the portions. My bf ate cup noodles after eating his burrito bowl. Also the ingredients taste like cafeteria food. Flavorless over cooked rice, way too salty meat, and bad store-bought tortillas. So unsatisfying. They also charged an extra $1 for a tortilla on the side. Corn tasted like canned corn. read more

Pretty okay restaurant. I ordered carnitas enchiladas and would rate it 3/5. What makes my rating higher is the customer service and aesthetic of the restaurant. Very cool place with pretty walls and good music. Overall 4/5 read more

Delicious, fresh, authentic food! I did a custom veggie burrito and it was delicious! Excellent service, fun decor, would gladly return. Prices are very reasonable too. read more

First time, had the carnitas taco and my daughter had the carnitas burrito bowl. Both were very good, plentiful, and fresh. Will be back!
