    I went with a big group of friends after church service and we all ordered some different dishes. Everything was pretty tasty and well-priced!

    Quesadilla Especial
    Jeff K.

    Nice Mexican food spot with outdoor seating in spring summer. Huge menu for all kinds of tastes. You will leave satisfied as big portions. My picks: Quesadilla especial is great Mole verde chicken very good

    Beans & rice.

    We had high hopes for this place. After our order was taken by one waitresses another one came over saying she forgot to put it in after 20 minutes and 6 door dash delivery pick uos. We ordered 2 chicken fajitas with shrimp. What came was steak & shrimp. Which they took back & took the steak off and just added chicken really quick ,so it wasn't as sizzling when they brought it back out . The food is fresh, it's not bad, but the service needs serious improvement. It seemed like the staff & cooks were all doing their own thing & if they get your order right ur lucky.

    I am a very big fan of this little spot. So cute and quaint and the staff is so friendly and helpful. The food is delicious. I'm a fan of the al pastor tacos. It's one of my go-to taco joints.

    Tacos Especiales & Mexican Soft Drink

    Truly a home run The parking around the restaurant is decent. There isn't an actual dedicated parking lot to the restaurant but the street parking works just fine. The staff is really friendly and upon entry you're immediately greeted. The restaurant truly shows of the richness of Mexican culture along with the menu. Truly a beautiful atmosphere to be in. I got the Tacos Especiales which are 4 tacos with the meat of your choice with a side of Guacamole. The food did not disappoint! I will say there a bit of a wait although my friend and I were the only ones present in the restaurant. I blew through a bottle of Mexican and the complimentary chips & guac by the time my food had arrived and I'm a really slow eater. Regardless the of the pace I imagine the time that's dedicated to making the food makes it all worth the wait. I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try at least once!

    taqueria mexico is a spot my family has been coming to for years and for good reason! off the beaten path of moody st, taqueria mexico is almost a hole in the wall restaurant that has welcoming staff and great food. you can't beat the prices here and i always am a member of the clean plate club here. it is very homey, no frills, and if you like seeing what your food looks like the menu is full of pictures. overall a great spot and i am never unhappy with whatever i get.

    Very rarely do I write reviews that rate a restaurant poorly, but unfortunately this is one of them. My friend was visiting from out of town and wanted Mexican food; when we searched it Mexican on Yelp near Waltham, this place came up so we decided to go on a Saturday afternoon. Service was pretty horrible, we walked in and didn't get sat down for at least 10 mins. Then, it took a while for us to even get menus. Once we got our menus, it took around 15 mins for us to even been able to order; this should've been one of our first red flags to leave. Once we ordered, I got a jugo especial with birria tacos and my friend got an enchilada queso plate. The jugo especial was okay, and so was the free salsa and chips. I'm not joking, it took over an hour for us to get our food. We were considering leaving and just paying for our drinks. Once we got our food, it came out so cold. Not even warm. My friend ended up throwing up because of how cold the food was after eating it and I felt sick after eating my food. The soup of my birria tacos seemed as if they just microwaved leftovers. I ate maybe 1.5 of my 3 tacos and my friend didn't even eat a 1/3 of their food before throwing up. The tacos themselves were chewy and overcooked. Even if we wanted to send back the food, no one came to check up on us to see how our food was... the service was actually one of the worst I've experienced in a long time. A table next to us, also a couple, sat down significantly after us, got their food before us AND was able to pay before us. The vibes were not it. I asked for the check and our server said okay, but really he never brought it to us and we ended up just walking up to the front counter and paying. I was shocked that there were plaques saying Best Mexican Restaurant in Waltham for the past 12 years hung behind the counter, because there's so much better in Waltham. I don't recommend coming here to anyone, and I probably will never come back again. Seriously, consider going somewhere else and avoid coming here.

    Chiles Rellenos

    This restaurant is a hidden gem in Waltham! It has an extensive selection of various Mexican dishes. My personal (low-carb) favorites are the chicken fajitas and the chiles rellenos with picadillo. The chiles rellenos are exceptionally flavorful. The service could be a tiny bit more attentive, but it doesn't take away from the experience. I'm a big fan of the interior decor as a hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint I'm used to coming from Arizona. Definitely recommend!

    One of my best finds for authentic Mexican food in recent times. Ordered chicken soup, quesadilla, chorizo tortas, Pollo al cilantro and Harchata. The food was delicious and very flavorful. It has been a very long time since I had nice delicious authentic Mexican food. The tortas bread was perfectly warm and the chorizo melted in my mouth. I personally like the Pollo al cilantro, the cilantro sauce was a bit spicy and added a nice kick to my taste palate. On a nice cold day, I would recommend their soup. It is loaded with veggies and chicken and the chicken broth is delicious.

    Carne Asada

    This place is amazing! Comida Mexicana de verdad!! Food was really good, the staff, atmosphere and everything was really nice. Definitely coming back pretty soon.

    ** Updating previous review with more tapas rankings **…read more Yuca Frita (9.5/10): These are so freaking delicious, wow. The cilantro aioli was an amazing dipping sauce. They really are fried to perfection. Frituras de Maiz: (10/10): Wow, these fritters are also amazing. They come with such a rich sauce. The fritters are exploding with flavor. Cazuela de Coliflor Asada (9/10): Insanely good dish. The cauliflower has perfect texture, complemented by the pistachios. The sauce is SO good. The cauliflower soaks it up so well. Chicharrones (9/10): Melt in your mouth pork belly. The pork skin crust was perfect. The sauces really make most of the dishes here. This dish is no different - I loved the sauce. Ropa Vieja (9/10): Perfectly slow cooked meat. One thing that really stood out to me was actually the white rice. The rice was VERY high quality, and I appreciated it so much. It's rare to come by rice this good. It had the perfect texture, chew, and fragrance. Ropa Vieja de Hongos (9/10): Pretty much the same as Ropa Vieja above. The mushrooms are delicious, and the dish is just as good whether your order the mushroom or steak version. Empanada del Carne (9/10): Oh man, the crusts are so good. This is pretty on par with the ones I just had in Puerto Rico. Chuletas de Cordero (8/10): The seasoning is heavenly. I was licking the lamb chops clean. Croquetas (8/10): Very solid croquetas. Wouldn't say it's a must-order, but you can't go wrong with them. Costillas a la Guayaba (6/10): The first time I had this it was really nicely marinated, and the rib meat is so tender that it almost falls off the bone. The second time, the meat was dry. Maduros con Tocino (6.5/10): This dish was pretty good, but got overshadowed by the other ones. Pulpo (6.5/10): Octopus was tender and savory. The potatoes were too salty. Camarones a la Plancha (6.5/10): Solid dish, but I enjoyed some other ones even more. Ensalada de Aguacate y Pina (6/10): The salad was a bit too sour, and that sourness overpowered the dish. It was a great blend of ingredients, though. *** and one dessert *** Churros con Chocolate (8.5/10): Big crunchy fluffy churros!! The chocolate sauce is amazing (not really spicy at all). You have to get this for dessert!!

    Had a great dinner. 4 stars instead of 5 only because the service was a bit slow. They had plenty…read moreof runners but not enough folks taking orders. The sliders, which were not on the menu, were fantastic. The beef empanadas were good. The beet salad was excellent. The mushroom balls were good. Tres leches very good. I'd recommend.

    This was a great find in Concord! we didn't make a reservation and showed up at 1 PM on a Sunday…read more There was plenty of parking in the plaza where the restaurant is located. To start with my margarita was delicious. Chips and salsa were complimentary and really good. One of my friends had the pork belly tacos and mentioned that she liked the blue corn tortillas used. My other friend carne asada plate perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed my camarones salseados and found their Mexican rice to be outstanding. As for the desserts - tres leches was amazing. The highlight were their churros. I am still thinking about those churros and will need to go back sooner rather than later to get them again.

I got to enjoy it again at the Concord Location last week and it was worth every one of the fifteen dollars spent. The carnitas burrito was also delicious. The sauce was good, the meat was good, the red cabbage on top pleased me very much. It was incredibly mild which surprised me - I remember the food at the Devens location being a bit spicier than I was comfortable with. But all the flavors were wonderful. I did not mind that it was mild. I was very happy. My friend got the Carnitas bowl. and she was also happy with it but surprised how mild it was. But Carnitas is usually pretty mild. The inside of the restaurant was really nice too. It felt like a good night out. It can get pricy, but the flavors are all so good. Fully worth it. This is a nice location in a quiet area - feels different from the one in Devens which is near some hotels and has a party vibe. I'd go to either location and enjoy myself. Good stuff. good job.
