Bad service, bad food, bad drinks. The Guacamole was no Bueno! Drinks are all ice ,no booze and overpriced. Tacos were terrible. Totally underwhelmed. read more

This was a great experience overall. The food was great-- the nachos and guac were my favorites. Pricing was reasonable (about $5/taco, about $15 for nachos, and about $7 for guac). The service was great--attentive and professional. And the atmosphere was good. It's also right next to the parking garage which makes parking easy since it's on a busy street. read more

Such a fun little Mexican spot right in the heart of Quincy! From what I've heard, this is one of the most popular restaurants in the area, and after learning it's from the same team behind nearby Dotty's Kitchen & Raw Bar (formerly the Townshend), it went right to the top of my list of places to visit. I had no trouble getting a res a couple of days in advance, but the place was packed and pretty small, so I imagine you might have a wait without one (especially with a big group). The space is cute and inviting, and all of the servers we interacted with were really great. We heard Pearl & Lime has a great cocktail program, and it didn't disappoint! I went with the Mo Problems margarita (nice balance of spicy with a little sweetness) and they even made an off menu Painkiller for my husband, which he was super excited about. For food, we went with the Chips and Guac, Ceviche, Street Corn, Al Pastor Quesadilla, and Carne Asada, Crispy Pork Belly, and Pulled Chicken tacos. I would order everything again with the exception of the Ceviche - in my opinion it leans on the coconut flavor a bit too much, so it's pretty bland and could use a lil something extra. The Al Pastor Quesadilla would be my #1 recommendation - so tasty and a bit more unique than the other items. I found the pricing reasonable too. Can't wait to come back and explore even more of the menu! read more

A very decent Mexican restaurant in the area. Food is so delicious with great selection of mixed drinks. We used the InKind App for payments, which comes with some cash back, gift creditors, etc. Service is awesome. read more

Friendly, welcoming staff, laidback vibe, and fun music playing but not too loud. I started off with a special cocktail (tequila, grapefruit, ginger, lime in a mule glass). The drink was icy, well balanced and strong - perfect. We ordered a few things to share: ceviche which was fresh & delicious (but could use a few more chips), the al pastor quesadilla, sweet potato empanadas & a shrimp and fish taco. Everything was great - and shareable. Just know the tacos are little street tacos - about 3 bites each. read more

Busy Saturday night but they managed to accommodate us and we had several small plates of tacos that were really outstanding. All of the tacos were great and had a little spice to them that was just right. read more

This is a great place to get drink with friends or for date night. I got the chips and queso to start with. It had a little bit of spice which is just how I like it. What I love about this place is the chicken birria tacos. Since I don't eat beef, I have a hard time finding substitutions for birria tacos but the chicken birria tacos are delicious. The chicken is juicy and perfect to dip with the broth. The staff was very friendly and offered up more hot sauces to try. read more

Pearl & Lime - Skullcrusher margarita served in a special glass just for me. - Latin American Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Visited Pearl & Lime with my friend on a Friday around 6pm! We were seated fairly quickly but around 6:30pm it got quite busy as it took a while for us to flag down our server for the bill. We started with two drinks; a strawberry margarita and a mojito. The drinks weren't too strong; my friend said you could barely taste the alcohol in the mojito. The strawberry margarita was better than the mojito, but I think if I were to get a drink, I'd get something different. For food, we got tacos (barbacoa, crispy pork belly, and fish), papas bravas, and chicken tinga taquitos. I thought the tacos were on the pricier end since they were a bit smaller than a typical taco. I enjoyed the barbacoa and fish tacos but the meat of the crispy pork belly taco was tough and dry. My favorite was the papas bravas since the potatoes were crispy yet fluffy inside. The Roasted Garlic Aioli drizzled on top paired fantastically with the seasoned potatoes. Overall, Pearl & Lime is a cute local restaurant in Quincy Center to catch up with friends or have a small gathering! I'd come back here if I were already in Quincy Center (since parking can be tough around here). Would recommend giving this place a try! read more

We love this place , great food and service. We require a gf / celiac menu . They've got it !! Fun to share! Cool vibe !!

Had a bunch of appetizers and a drink at this spot with friends this evening. I so highly recommend. The restaurant is spotless, service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Don't skip the street corn, you cannot go wrong with any tacos, and the ceviche special was amazing. Staff was attentive, food came out quick and hot. And it was a really good deal. read more

This is in my top 2 favorite restaurants in Quincy. As someone that is used to the Mexican food in San Diego this is the closest thing I can get to my second homes food. I would never write a bad review of this place but just a simple request could you please bring back the elote and scrap the corn pancake thing read more

Amazing service also, the BEST creamy espresso martinis & great apps to share. love this place

Tacos were meh - they were filled with chicken, shrimp, etc. but all I could taste was the tortilla. The taste of the tortilla was totally overpowering. Very small portions for all the different food items - the tacos are on the smaller side which I knew going in, but everything else (chips and guac, quesadilla) were also incredibly small. The hostess was pretty rude- empty restaurant but made a fuss about sitting us at a booth. Our server was not great either. Even though this is a newer restaurant to the Quincy area, inside it felt a bit run down. I personally would not recommend anyone visiting. read more

Great spot for some delicious Latin food! Parking can be hit or miss so be prepared for that if you're coming during peak dining hours! Items we ordered (as of 2/2023): - Pearl and Lime Nachos - $12 - This was fantastic. Every chip was perfectly coated and the flavor combinations were phenomenal. Perfectly shared between 2 people! I'd get this again 100%. - Popcorn Chicken - $11 - These were perfectly friend and juicy on the inside. Really enjoyed the sauce that came with it. Again, perfectly shared between 2 people! For the tacos (prices are for ONE). - Guisada Taco - $5.25 - Nice beef flavor but nothing too noteworthy. - Crispy Pork Belly - $5.25 - Pork belly was very delicate. A favorite of mine and would get again! - Shrimp Taco - $5.25 - Perfectly fried and also has great flavor. Would also highly recommend this. - Fish Taco - $5.25 - Fish was very delicate and again, the flavors were on point. 100% would recommend. Overall I see why this place is so popular. The food is great and the ambiance is very relaxed. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

Update: after speaking to the manager about the decorative garnish bowl that sits at the bar ( which patrons, talk, cough and yell over). He agreed it wasn't a good idea to have at the bar to then garnish customers cocktails with. Anyways, I come back for a second visit and the bowl is still there. Your cocktail could be cute and full of Covid. The food came fast but was extremely greasy. The shrimp and fish tacos were hard as a rock. I couldn't . One minute you have a 5 star experience and the next, a 2 star. read more

Was looking for a taco spot that was close to Quincy because my bf and I didn't want to drive. This place had pretty good reviews but sadly I would not go back or recommend. Prices are a bit steep because from pictures I know the portions were very small, much like tapas. First, we came super early like 6pm so there were plenty of seats open and they sat us right next to an existing table which doesn't make sense. Anyway overlooked it, ordered a few items knowing the bill was going to be pricey, with no intention of ordering alcohol. Their St Louis ribs to start and they were not good. All it was was a lime flavor that was so acidic and watery at the same time. Wet sauce which St Louis is known for dry rub. It was however super tender For the rest, we ordered an order of Birria tacos, 2 carnitas, 2 carne, and 1 shrimp. The corn tortillas were honestly stale and didn't look like regular corn tortillas. The shrimp in the tacos were so small and fried which disappointed cause I couldn't taste them at all besides batter. The carnitas were dry but ok. And the birria like I expected were small like normal size tacos but not how they usually are when you get 2 pieces. Plus the dipping broth provided was super watery and tasted water down The birria also took 15 after the rest of our tacos arrived and I had to wave down our waiter to ask where it was. Service was also ok and I had to wave down our waitress a few times read more

I love all our restaurants in Quincy and Pearl & Lime is at the top of my list--a fun atmosphere with specialty cocktails and a lip-smacking menu. We probably come here at least once a month, if not more, and this past time we dined here was one of our best experiences. We sat at the bar and ordered a few cocktails; my husband had the El Guapo (rum drink) which was quite delicious and refreshing. I ordered a Maximilian Affair (mezcal drink), one of my favorites, and always made to perfection. For starters, we shared the Queso dip with chips, which was excellent. We then ordered the Al Pastor Quesadilla's, Popcorn Chicken, and a Carne Asada taco. Everything came out nice and hot, flavorful, and delish. We love coming here and if you have not been before you should make this your next date night spot. Cheers! read more

Came with a large party and made reservations very close to closing time. The restaurant still accommodated for us and we made sure to communicate that we were going to be late. We ordered a lot and probably tried almost everything on their menu. My favorites were the street corn, crispy pork belly taco, and birria tacos read more

I was very disappointed by my visit here and am very confused by the 4 stars. The drinks were good, which was the only saving grace. Also the restaurant is nicely decorated with a nice vibe and our server was friendly. I ordered the fish tacos which had zero flavor on the actual fish. Sometimes I can accept this if the sauce carries the tacos, but this was not the case here. I also ordered the sweet potato empanadas with mole. I was excited for these but they literally just threw sweet potato in an empanada wrapper with no effort.. the mole sauce was also not my favorite. Lastly the broccolini was desperately missing salt. Also saw a mouse run behind my table!!! Definitely will not return. read more

Hidden gem in Quincy! I've lived here for 3 years and never went until last week and omggg have I been missing out. The food is delicious. Everything was 10/10! I'd definitely recommend the birria tacos, ribs and the ginger non alcoholic beverage! The service was great too! And the ambiance is perfect for date night or girls night/ outing with colleagues. read more

Came here on a Friday at around 6 pm. We didn't have to wait for a seat, but it did get busy very soon after. For drinks we got a mojito and strawberry margarita. The margarita was alright, not that sweet. The mojito was watered down and bitter. For tacos we ordered barbacoa, crispy pork belly, and fish with papas bravas and taquitos on the side. The tacos were on the smaller side, but they were good. I would not recommend the crispy pork belly taco though, the meat was rough and dry. Overall, the other food was great. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and wasn't too loud despite the crowd. Good place to catch up with friends or go on a date. Service was good, though it did get very busy later into the night and we had to flag down our server for the bill. read more

Wanted to check this place out since moving to Quincy over a year ago. Finally had an excuse to stop in (but if we are being honest, why do I need excuses to try new [to me] restaurants? In short: excellent food, excellent service, cool vibe, but small portions mean unless a taco barely three times the size of a Costco sample will satisfy you, prepare to drop some dollars. I was able to try: - Ponche De Dragon (drink) - Aunt Dotty Oyster (1) - Mere Point Oyster (1) - Papas con Azafran y Bonemarrow Pastelillo (special) - Pork Belly Taco - Carne Asada Taco - Birria Taco (Lamb) - Homemade hot sauce Now, before you accuse me of being a glutton - two things... 1. The portions here are quite small 2. I can eat like a vacuum cleaner! Ponche De Dragon = If you like your drinks more spirit forwards, this is probably not for you. This drink was a little on the sweeter side, but not overwhelmingly so. It had a tiny bit of spiciness at the back of the throat, but nothing that should scare you away, even if you don't have my heat tolerance. My only critique is, while not all drinks are spirit forward, I like to know a drink contains at least some booze, and I hard a hard time picking up on any alcohol within. Oysters = These were of a good size, had a good flavor, and no shell fragments. Only thing here is that it would be wise to wait for when they are half-price, because oysters can quite literally be scarfed down in five seconds, Pastelillo = Not quite what I was expecting. Neither the saffron nor the bone marrow made a noticeable appearance. It was a good pastelillo, but it felt like a potato pastelillo, not the fancy thing the name would seem to suggest. The Special Sauce was interesting, and a little on the sweeter side. Nothing wrong with that per se, but for me personally, a savory sauce (like a queso) would have been preferred. Pork Belly Taco = This was absolutely delectable! It hit absolutely all the right notes in terms of balance in flavors and textures! There was freshness, creaminess, savoriness, and the pork belly was noticeable. While I would have liked a little bit more, I am cautious about suggesting something which may throw off the balance of a taco I would have happily ordered 4 more of. It wasn't quite as tender as the kind found in bao, but still very tender! Carne Asada Taco = Similar to the Pork Belly Taco, all the flavors were on point. The difference here is that there was a more generous helping of protein. And that protein - by goodness! Carne Asada I've had before has been either too tough, or swimming in water/juice... this was tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I can safely say it is the first carne asada I thoroughly enjoyed. These two tacos stayed together while eating quite well without becoming an impromptu taco salad after a couple bites. Then again, these were quite small - think about 3/4 the size of what a regular taco might be, give or take. Those couple of bites is all it takes before it is no more. Birria Taco (ordered with lamb) = This was something else. The whole tortilla was covered with a delicious protein. I knew this would be delicious when I smelled the freshly cooked lamb as the dish was brought to my plate. This one is larger than a regular taco, and more protein forward. At the same time, it also manages to retain that critical balance! The protein itself was also wicked tender and flavorful. I am not quite sure about the dipping sauce though, it seemed similar to the taco filling and did not really add any additional dimensions of flavor. Their homemade hot sauce is very nice! It had a nice level of heat (and this is from someone with high heat tolerance). If you aren't like me, use it carefully! Unfortunately, the bottle isn't conducive to drops, so be careful before you accidentally make yourself into a fire-breathing dragon whose treasure is the food before it. The service is excellent! Very friendly, knowledgeable, gave great recommendations, and the food came out fast! The location had a pretty cool vibe too! Then there's the question of value - I'd say it was good, but not great. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent, certainly. Still, I am finding it hard to justify $5 for a taco seemingly not larger than a CD. read more

This is our most visited/ordered from restaurant in Quincy. I love their beef and cheese empanadas, taquitos (in restaurant, not great for takeout as they lose flavor), and their drinks are amazing. This is a place that would fit well into the city-- I'm glad that it's thriving in the suburbs. Hospitality has always been very good too. read more

Parking is tricky and not great. However, there's an inexpensive $1/hr parking garage within a 5 minute walk from the restaurant. Very nice ambiance. It felt intimate and modern, yet still had a lot of character. The sangria was good and the guac and salsa too. The empeñadas were piping hot which was great. I'd much rather food be too hot than not hot enough! They have happy hour some days which goes until 6pm. The service was nice, but despite the place not being too crowded, the server took a very long time to return to the table after we finished our meal and then again after we asked for the check. The prices were normal for the area. I would totally return! read more

Visiting Boston from California. We went for the first time. Atmosphere is great, food is delicious, drinks are well made with a bartender mixologist. Pricing are reasonable. Second visit was a bad experience. Drinks were great, food was on point. Almost finish with dinner, headed to men's restroom. After the door lock broke. Was stuck in the restroom for about 10 minutes. I called my friends that I came with to let the manager know. He came immediately and decided to break down the door. He was upset and look like I unconvience him. My other guest paid the bill. When we will leaving we were stopped because the manager inform us the bill was wrong. The waitress forgot to add an item on the bill. This was odd. We waited longer to correct our bill. I would of gave them 5 stars, but the manager attitude made me to decide to give them 1 star read more
