    The standouts were the aguachile and the drinks! The aguachile was so flavorful but I wish it had more shrimp, it was mostly cucumber. The service could've been much better, we didn't seem to have a clear server and had to flag down people to get things. The tacos were definitely a disappointment, making any flavor. The enchiladas were fine, I'd get them again. The beef lengua was very dry and bland. The other location definitely has better tacos but this location is much prettier as far as decor.

    I daydream about this place. I was never a taco person and this restaurant opened my eyes to GOOD tacos. First off, the interior is absolutely gorgeous, between the decor and the natural sunlight. Even the bathrooms are beautifully decorated. Everyone working there is so kind and friendly. The food was next level good, the burrito and the tacos are what dreams are made of.

    I'm originally from Arizona and moved to Massachusetts in 2023 and into the Orient Heights about two years ago and one of the biggest things I missed from Arizona is good Mexican food. I have tried a lot of different Mexican places around Massachusetts and they've been fairly disappointing. When Taqueria Jalisco opened up, I was really excited to try it because the other location had such great reviews and was within walking distance. I was so impressed. Taqueria Jalisco strikes the perfect balance between traditional food and fun, creative upscale food you might get from a trendy restaurant. I can get amazing birria tacos and menudo or concha french toast and a mimosa flight. I can have a nice comforting dinner or head over in the morning to finish off a whole mimosa flight with some concha french toast for a fun brunch. It's absolutely perfect and scratches the itch I've been missing since I moved. The staff is always kind and we've always had excellent service. Even if I'm just grabbing a couple burritos to-go on my walk back to my house from the station, the staff is always cheerful and makes a point of inviting us back. Couldn't be happier to live near this wonderful restaurant, it's brought great things to the Orient Heights neighborhood.

    I was not very impressed by Dryft in Revere, MA. My sisters and I were meeting a local friend here…read morefor dinner. We had a reservation and were seated right away and with water and menus. One half hour later, our waitress finally came to take our order after walking back and forth ignoring us for that 30 minutes. When our waitress took our orders, there was no apology for the long wait either. The food we ate was good, but not worth the wait. The portions were generous, and I couldn't finish mine. One sis ordered lobster roll with slaw, pickles and fries. She found it to be underwhelming, particularly the texture. I had the Dryft cheeseburger covered in caramelized onions and fries as a side. It was a big burger, well cooked, and I deconstructed it, to have less bun. The plentiful onions were a nice addition, and I liked the fries. The other sis ordered chicken under a brick, which was a fried boneless chicken breast under mashed potatoes, chicken jus, and brussels. She substituted asparagus for the brussels. Sis was highly satisfied with her whole meal and ate it all. Our host had a salad, but I didn't catch which one. It was large, not particularly noteworthy, and she didn't finish it either. The place was really noisy, which made conversation difficult. One other thing I noticed: all the female staff were wearing very short black skirts or shorts while the male staff members wore long black pants. I didn't inquire about a dress code or uniform, but it seemed sexist to me.

    The ribs are fabulous! No question. They are as good as any I've tasted anywhere! Juicy, meaty,…read moreso flavorful. Perfect, I'd say! The green beans are fabulous, too. Fresh and perfectly cooked. I think the mashed potatoes must be fabulous fresh, but mine were heated over because they were prepared before I arrived, so I tasted that heated-over taste. But! They were very good; real potatoes, which you almost never can find anymore, and lots of butter! I might change that myself; a little less butter and a little more milk or cream. The thing I found disappointing was the fried chicken. I went to the restaurant to try the ribs because I'm looking for ribs to serve at a dinner party and I'm on the hunt, but I had to try the chicken! You may like it; I think my objection is a personal taste thing, but ..... The coating on the chicken tastes like it was poured out of a spice-blend like Montreal Steak seasoning or the Kirkland Signature Organic No-Salt seasoning, or Lawrey's Seasoning, or the seasoning packet from Good Seasons Zesty salad dressing packets - I know I've tasted it before, but I can't remember which it is. It was too too much! As I said above; it tasted like it was poured into bowl from the package and the chicken was dredged in it. The flavor may be great if it were toned down a little, like starting with flour and adding the seasoning blend to the flour? Starting with half and half of each would be an improvement, but I would go with a 3 to 1 ratio of flour to mix. Other than that, I am definitely going to order the ribs for my dinner! As it was, I used the sauce that came with the ribs to dip my chicken in; that sauce is out of this world!!!!! And the two gentlemen who helped me were terrific! Carmen talked to me about the ribs, the rest of the menu and was the most gracious host! I told him about my quest for ribs and he was very helpful! He alone is worth going back for. And Zee must have asked me 10 times if I needed anything; he was very attentive! This is a cozy place tucked away where you can go and relax and enjoy a great meal! Order the ribs!

    best chicken wings around. always so crispy even when you're getting them for take out. i love all…read morethe sauces they have for them, they're very original. they have a super thin hot honey pizza which is to die for, i think about it all the time lol. their sides are also just so so good. the corn salad, mac and cheese, the mashed sweet potato, the slaw. you literally can't go wrong. they make good drinks too! love this spot

They have super spacious seating, great for parties, birthdays, casual date nights, night out with the boys (or girls). Plenty of beer selections, great appetizers. I'll try to order a quick grab bite on the go while working and their crispy kickin' chicken is a good eat! Eyeing the crispy cod crunch and DB ultimate burger on my days off.

    Great beer selection, solid food options and an excellent staff…read more Interior space was quite crowded with minimal to no space at the tables and bar...even on a Monday early evening. I would expect the outdoor space would come in handy once the weather warms up. Conveniently located right off of Seaport Blvd. surrounded by some other good food and dessert options. Lots of parks in the area, including Fan Pier Park, which offers some spectaculay views of the Boston Skyline...particularly after dark. Metered Street Parking was actually manageable, especially in the later post 6-pm midweek hours in the Fort Hill Square Area. Meters are in effect through 8pm with a 2-hour maximum, so if you arrive after 6pm and feed the meter until 8pm, you are all set for the night! The South Station (Red) T Station is also nearby. Both options are a short walk to Fan Pier Park. There are also lots of garages available in the immediate area as well.

I got 5 oz pours of all of their IPA's and was in heaven. The Really Big Bird and Galaxy Cutting Ties were amongst my favorites. I wanted to try multiple stouts but unfortunately most of their pastry stouts were not on tap. They were only in 18.5-ounce bottles so I could only order one. I got the Macaroon Macaroon, which was a collab with Veil Brewing in Richmond VA (another phenomenal brewery that I have been to). It was dessert in a glass. I had the lady friend with me, or I would have opened and closed this place that or passed out in the corner. I was in heaven. She ordered some spinach and artichoke dip but I don't remember it. It was filler as far as I was concerned. This place isn't about the food; it's about their amazing beer.

Daytime vibes are a lot more chill and relax, while the nighttime crowd gives the bar a buzzed, lively energy. The first order of food I got was a custom grilled cheese sandwich and I can say that was one of the best grilled cheese sandwich I've had so far. The second time, I got their smash burger. The patty was juicy and the burger was messy in every way you'd want a burger to be. The fried pickles was a nice complement to the entire meal, however their waffle cut fries were also delicious if you don't prefer pickles. Recommend getting their spicy mayo as well to dip the fries and burger.
