I was in the plaza and wanted to check this place out. Grab a drink and app kind of thing, thinking it looked like a nice vibe space. I walk in and come to the host/tess stand to check in. There are three people there, two clearly busy, one just stares at me. I look around, look back, this person is just staring at me with a dead expression. Eventually I ask if they are open. She says "yeah". Amazing, she speaks. I ask if there is room at the bar. She says "idk go look". Fantastic. With this lovely service, I turned around, left, and had a wonderful time at a different restaurant in the plaza. Please choose your employees better. read more

Temazcal Tequila Cantina - Ask for Reece - Mexican Near Me - Lynnfield, Massachusetts

Being relatively new to the greater Boston area, I checked out the Lynnfield MarketStreet on a Friday night with a new friend. Temazcal Tequila Cantina was his suggestion as a great spot for dinner. Around 5 PM we had no trouble getting a table. The interior decor was nice and they really play up the Cantina aspect, with entire walls covered with liquor bottles (and, obviously, dozens upon dozens of different types of tequila). I ordered the grilled chicken fajitas: lime marinated grilled chicken, jicama, onion, Chihuahua cheese (a mild white cheese for melting), poblano, red pepper, and avocado served with flour tortillas, Mexican rice, and black beans. The presentation was nice, coming out on the sizzling skillet like most fajitas do, but the 3 tiny flour tortillas provided were definitely not enough for the portion size, leaving more than half the meal without any tortillas to eat with. Knowing restaurants like this, I was not about to ask for more flour tortillas and be charged extra, on top of the already overpriced $24. Taste wise, it was the definition of average. So was the service, nothing that stood out or wowed me. Reflecting back, it was the most expensive Mexican food I've ever dined out for. Ultimately the prices are high at Temazcal because of its location in Lynnfield. I wouldn't ever go back, and after walking around MarketStreet, the entire area seems like Lynnfield's attempts at Rodeo Drive. read more

Temazcal Tequila Cantina - Grilled chicken fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Lynnfield, Massachusetts

I loved that they give you 3 dips for your complimentary tortilla chips (salsa, salsa verde, and refried black beans). It was a nice treat when we arrived. That was probably my favorite part We ordered the margaritas, my fiance and his mom liked them, it tasted like a regular margarita to me. For entrees we got the veggie tacos, birria tacos, and chorizo enchiladas. Honestly, I was really confused by the Spanish rice, I'm not used to having all of those ingredients in there. The flavor was also pretty bland. As for the birria tacos, they were actually pretty good, but weird they didn't give you consommé with it. They gave you black beans (very liquidy) and this maybe mole sauce? Overall, I think it's a standard chain Mexican place. I wouldn't mind going back, I really did enjoy the complimentary chips haha read more

Temazcal Tequila Cantina - Birria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Lynnfield, Massachusetts

We arrived for lunch today and were the only two customers in the bar. Despite ordering shortly after arriving, it took nearly an hour for our food to be served. This experience has been by far the worst I've had with this restaurant at this location, due to the long wait and overall service quality. read more

They need to find another resturant to take over this place. The food was so bland no taste whatsoever, worse tacos I have ever had. Service was insanely slow....probably the slowest service I had in a very long time and we were sitting at the bar and it was not busy at all! We even thought of just leaving after getting our drinks. This was a one and done visit. read more

We went Friday night because it was so beautiful out and we were craving fajitas. We were sat quickly and got a spot on the patio. You are given 3 types of dip with your chips: salsa, bean dip, and green salsa. The regular salsa literally tasted like tomato paste. We were not fans. The others were bland. We ordered some guacamole and it was decent, but truly lacked the flavor most have. When ordering the fajitas we were asked if we wanted cheese, not knowing this meant cheese melted on top of the chicken instead of on the side. A little disappointing. The like flavor was very overwhelming with the chicken but it was cooked well. They give you plenty of tortillas, but could use more peppers. Overall, meh. Not sure we'll be back. read more

I went here for my birthday, even though I did not want to go here. The menu sucked so bad I couldn't find any real athletic Mexican food. I love Mexican food by the way. They got cabbage in their food, so gross. These people are too lazy to make frozen margaritas. What Mexican restaurant won't make frozen margaritas. I still haven't had a lousy rotten margarita or something good to eat for my birthday. Now I will have to go out to eat again to a place I actually like and want to go to. I had to give one star to make it post. U guys still suck and that's why I never go to u! read more

NOTHING FRESH Cold centers, every dish. Overpowering amounts of sugar in everything. Insane prices for standard, under-cooked fare. Corporate portion controlled bland, sugary, extremely poorly reheated "food." Not worth reviewing anything. At your own risk. read more

Food and drinks were amazing and the bartender is top notch!! Great service great experience

A Notice on the Table, this is how you are greeted, the first thing you see: "We recommend leaving a 18 Percent tip." That is what is most important to these people. And when you get the tab, the suggested amounts for a tip increase from there. We selected "no tip." Our position is, bad service, bad food, WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD WE SUPPOORT THAT????? The ambiance and drinks, menus and notices and those pop up things on the tables, the sheer size of the bar, the space allocated for drinks on the menu,...this place is all about the sugary drinks. The food section on the menu is the smallest part of the menu. The food is covered in overpowering sauces. It isn't possible to tell what your eating. Absolutely nothing is fresh. The fried calamari for example is drenched in some kind of sweet and sour sauce reminiscent of leftovers from McDonald's, in fact I suspect McDonald's would have tasted better. But the sheer volume of sugar sauce is ludicrous. The rice, had hard centers and was cold, IN FACT EVERY HOT DISH WAS COLD IN THE CENTER, THE CHEESE WASN'T MELTED, THE SALMON HAD COLD CENTERS, THE CHICKEN WAS CHEWEY AND THE FOOD WAS NOT FRESH, IT HAD THAT FROM A CAN CONSISTENCY AND FLAVOR. YOU WANT A NICE SUGARRY OVERPRICED DRINK? THIS IS YOU PLACE. YOU WANT FOOD, GO ELSEWHERE. read more

Food for the most part is delicious! Staff is friendly! Very esthetic inside! I recommend for a yummy Mexican dish!

Arguably the best steak fajitas I've ever had. They were amazing. Staff and service was awesome. Was not a fan of the chips and salsa. More so the salsa. Just didn't care for the taste of the three options they provided. read more

My girlfriends and I had dinner at Temazcal last night. We started with drinks,my margarita was very good. We also had guacamole,delicious. I ordered the birria tacos, the meat was so tender, they were crisp, cheesy and so hot, excellent. My girlfriends also enjoyed their tacos. We sat at a bar table which was nice. Our server, Gary, was so attentive and friendly, he was great. We will definitely be going back. read more

I went here with my friend and let's just say it was my last time. For a Mexican restaurant the food was bland but my non alcoholic margaritas was amazing. We started off with their nachos that were just okay. Then, I ordered a steak fajita and the flavor was missing and they were skimpy on the rice and beans. This place is beautiful, large seating space and tall ceilings. Our waitress was a doll and so sweet. Food: 4 Customer service: 6 read more

My friend and I stopped here for a quick set of drinks before grabbing food nearby. The hostess was kind and quick to seat us as there were plenty of seats on a Thursday just after noon. While munching on their complimentary chips and dip (red is spicy, green sweet, and brown is refried beans with bacon and cheese), we decided on trying their Fuego and Fresca margaritas. Both were tasty and sweet enough where the alcohol was barely noticeable. Dare I say, even questionably there. We had a good time and I would be interested in coming again. read more

Went here for dinner with my girlfriend. We came recently and appreciated the drink menu, enjoyed our margaritas, and liked the ambiance, so we decided to come back. In short, do not order food here unless you want indigestion and to be out over $100 for nothing. We ordered food this time and that was the biggest mistake. My girlfriend's chicken tacos were overwhelmingly charred with over seasoned chicken and the cabbage was dressed with some weird apple cider vinegar. I got the mole enchiladas. I think it was the worst food I have ever tasted. Don't even get me started on the sour cream. The service was really great, and the drinks (tequila flight and margarita) were good, but the food was overtly expensive and nowhere near authentic. It was like they were trying so hard to make the food good that it ended up being disgusting. read more

Second stop of the evening, two friends and I came here for some Margaritas and food. They both started with traditional Margaritas, while I ordered the Piña Paraiso, which were average. Delicious but nothing exceptional. Ben was our waiter and he was great, but I was a little disappointed with either the cooks or management when I requested a half chicken quesadilla, half shrimp and they said they were unable to do that, but they could put them together. I asked 3 times. They were logically unable to make 2 shrimp quesadillas and 2 chicken, but they were only able to put them together. Not separated. Ben had no say in the matter, and I trust that he'd know how to separate chicken and shrimp. My friend loved her lobster guacamole. I personally wouldn't return based on the simple request made, and refusal of that request. It's not rocket science. Overpriced, hyped up restaurant. I had sworn off coming here a couple years ago, and based on this recent visit/second chance, I won't be returning. read more

I went here for the first time yesterday night, by myself, and thought it was great! The bartender, Megan, was very observant of what I needed. The margaritas she made for me were delicious. She did not disappoint with the "surprise" factor I told her to make them with! The food she recommended was also extremely good! Favorite part other than the service she gave to me was the rojo salsa that came with the tortilla chips. 10/10 would come back! read more

Went here for a birthday was looking forward to trying a new place, but was very disappointed in the entire experience we started with ordering queso to have with the nachos and this didn't come out for at least 20 minutes, and the table was full with the nachos and salsa by the time the queso came out the server was not friendly at all and somewhat dismissive the drink orders also took a very long time. By the time we ordered dinner we had been sitting for over 45 minutes. The waitress was MIA during the whole experience did not refill waters or get us refills of our margaritas. Once our meal came. One of them was missing and being the runner delivered it. There was very poor communication after about 10 minutes. The waitress came back and noticed the fajitas were not delivered. She had the fajitas delivered by another runner, but the tortillas, the guac, the sour cream, and all the sides were not delivered waited another 10 minutes for the waitress to come back and she was able to get the remaining of the meal overall all the food was just OK would not go back was hoping for the advertised high-end Mexican but alas, it was one of the worst experiences for Mexican food I've ever had read more

Sat at Bar about 6:30 Saturday March 23. We ate here 2 weeks prior and enjoyed! On this night the bar tender with the "Man Bun" took our drink order. I ordered a Vodka Martini with rocks on side. He did not bring the rocks and the Martini was 1 1/2" below the Rim. When our dinners arrived I ordered another Martini and said the 1st one was short. He brought my Martini and I took a sip and it tasted like water!!!! I told him it tasted like Water & he SMIRKED and walked away. I spoke to Manager and he said see me next time!!! He should have taken care of problem right at that moment but did not care. read more

So it was an interesting lunch today. We went to Temazcal restaurant in Lynnfield. The review I would give is Run away As most of my friends know I go t a lot of restaurants and rarely post much, but today is different. I ordered the shrimp fajitas - on bite number 2 I find a half melted latex glove buried in my onions. I chose not me are a scene since the place was fairly busy. The bartender was speechless and apologetic. However I did not receive a visit from any management with apologies, or some type of attempt to do damage control. I instead was informed that I would not be required to pay for my fajita seasoned glove meal. Ya you think!! If your restaurant, kitchen staff, expediter, waitstaff, etc... cannot find or identify an entire glove in a lunch order I can only imagine what the hell is going on in the kitchen. I would run away everyone - there are tons of way better Mexican restaurants with staff that take pride in what they do. read more

Only if it is this location they were excellent Very responsive. Quick to serve. Place settings at our chairs and around our chairs was very clean read more

I just came home from Temazcal in lynnfield I was with my family a party of 8 . The food was good but the service was s--t. The worst server and the manager not much better. First they didn't remove the plates from appetizers wich made it tight for main course. Next i had to ask please remove these plates so we can have some room.not happening. So that was ok we didn't ask again so after the meal was done we ordered desserts now over 30 min and only removed plates from table and table was dirty so we ask 4 times if they can clean table off befor bringing desserts. Never happened so went to manager still not happening. Manager crack fest. We were nice but now ticked off . Service giving attitude total jerk. Costed over $300 but i left no tip. Never going back. read more

We went for dinner last Friday before bowling. My boyfriend and I usually share a meal as we both can't finish our own. We ordered drinks and then the one meal. We were surprised when two identical meals showed up. We nicely told the person to take one back...which he did. Well, a few minutes later our waitress, Susan, showed up insisting that we had ordered two meals. She reluctantly agreed to comp one. The rest of our time there she was extremely rude. She never brought the sour cream we had asked for and avoided making eye contact each time she walked by. It was very obvious when she brought the check that she couldn't get us out of there fast enough. I've always enjoyed Temazcal. The food is good. The vibe is fun. But she definitely put a damper on our evening. read more

I haven't been here is quite some time, but I do like it here. When you sit down, your waiter will always bring out chips for you to start, and they are some of the best chips I've had outside of places like Chilis and regular Tostitos at home. read more

Pretty restaurant. Menu is meh, food was meh, margarita was weak. I was happy to hear my friends during dinner, music was at a good volume. Overall just not as impressive as it looks. Would not go back unless just for drinks. read more

I'm sorry. I love mexican and I had high hopes, having been to the Burlington location. The place was packed...good sign. The tortilla chips, pork strip cut, and street corn were delicious. The service was poor....excusable. The bathrooms were FILTHY...inexcusable. Price was high for what we got. read more

Delicious food and nice open area. Outside seating too. I particularly enjoyed the layout of the bar. One of those center wrap around. Service was a bit slow and I could tell the waiter was on the new side, but he was kind and doing his best. I ordered the steak fajitas and everyone who also did was thrown off by the orange meat in the veggies? It was like a sausage or something. There could have been more seasoning and salt on the steak as well. But it was nicely cooked. The chips they serve at the start though are so, so hard my teeth hurt today. read more

Had not been here for a long time. Happy to have been able to sit outside on one of the last warm days of the year. Service was great and food was delicious. We had the Temazcal beet salad and verdes enchiladas and both were amazing. read more

Nice lunch spot. So what happened we hit "taco Tuesday" so took advantage of the special. Started off on the chips and salsa with a guacamole add-on. The chips were fresh and the bartender refilled them as needed. They come with three dipping sauces. A red rather spicy sauce, a green somewhat sweeter sauce and a baked bean dip. The baked bean dip was my favorite. Both of us ordered the braised rib tacos. They were quite tasty. Can't say enough how nice the bartender took care of us while refilling our waters and drinks without an ask. read more

My first and not my last at Temazcal. This place has all the tequila you can name on the shelves because of the atmosphere I started off with a margarita. It was basic which I wanted but not as strong as I wanted it though. I had the fish tacos which made up for it. Lately I've been on a taco phase and the fish tacos at Temazcal is OFFICIAL. The avocado on top was like the icing on a cake! It made it better. This is probably my new spot for tacos, and for all my mexican cravings. read more

This review is only for the bar. Great menu and a wide variety of tequila options and cocktails. The bartender was super knowledgeable and helped me pick out a delicious tequila flight. Our drinks came with chips and some salsa options, all were delicious. Great spot for a drink that doesn't require going all the way into Boston. read more

Pros: The vibe and ambience of the restaurant is lovely, it's dim throughout the day and night which sets a romantic scene in my opinion. They also offer complimentary chips with three sides of sauces which are a mole, red sauce, and green (which on their own is enough for me to come back). The drink menu had a large selection which was lovely as there were so many revolving around tequila. The empanadas and fajitas are my favorite because they're so seasoned, however the fish tacos could use some more work. Service: I've been here a few times and it just depends sometimes. When I sit at the bar I expect quick service and I do receive it, but sometimes I have to wait 20-25 minutes before they come back to ask if I need anything. The tables were alright, however I felt the service could of been better instead of me having to wait 20 minutes to get the check. Cons: The fish tacos were just not hitting the spot, they were rather bland and unseasoned which was disappointing. Also the service was slower than I would've liked at a restaurant (especially when it's not their busy hour). Overall: I only tried this place because the line at Yard House was super long, but it didn't disappoint. The empanadas and guacamole with lobster along with their large drink selection with tequila is enough to make me come back. There are a lot of seating both inside the restaurant and outside so I wasn't worried about a long wait which was nice. read more
