I don't live in MA anymore, but goodness do I still think about Tenoch. The burritos are the best I've ever had and I miss Tenoch often. My favorites: Chicharron Pollo con Mole Adobado con platano macho read more

Decent, fresh ingredients. However, we did notice that there was a lack of flavor in the main protein, which was carne asada and carnitas. I got the carnitas burrito, my partner got the carne asada burrito. As aforementioned, the flavor of the burrito was OK, but just OK. Because the burrito was not evenly distributed (in my case, all the pico de gallo was at the bottom of my burrito), it was kind of just plain meat with rice and beans. Service was also slow. Even though we were the only customers being served, and there were 3 staff members behind the counter, we had to wait about 5 minutes (AFTER we ordered our food AND our food was made) because the cashier had to field 3 phone calls. I was hoping that maybe the other staff members could help out so that we could get our food faster. Place was relatively clean. read more

I went here after getting my nails done across the street and I was excited since I had also been traveling that morning. Unfortunately, my excitement went completely out there door as soon as I walked in. When I got to the register the lady, Joana (per the receipt) stared at me as if I was bothering her. I then asked her if I could order and she looked perplexed and said if I knew what I want. I told her yes and then she said I'd have to move down a little back to let the assistant know what I want in my burrito. When I looked back the assistant wasn't there and then he randomly showed up just staring at me. I then proceeded to tell him what I would like and then the lady rang me up. It just felt so backwards and inefficient. And now looking back at my receipt they up charge for anything you add to your burrito. I asked for cheese not queso but apparently it's the same to them. The inside of the restaurant feels cold and empty; the chairs are heavy and I can't even imagine when it's snows how cold it is. I decided to not eat there and ordered an uber to my hotel. I felt so unwelcome I ended up eating my burrito by myself in my hotel. The burrito was decent but nothing to write home about. read more

Fantastic quick food. I love the Carnitas burrito and they even melt the cheese for me before putting it in. A treat when I'm feeling hungry and no time to cook. read more

We were loyal customers but unfortunately may stop coming back. Every time we go to Tenoch the workers don't have a good attitude. The food has gone down hill. They skimp on any sauces/condiments. I had to show them a picture of the tacos I wanted and even called out the green sauce that I wanted - this is what I got... green sauce where? Listen, the food isn't awful but they will charge you an arm and a leg for anything "extra". One time I was charged $5 for extra guac. I am disappointed as I would go to tenoch 2-5xs a month and I always feel like I'm bothering them when asking for my order to be a specific way - not because I'm super picky but because I know they always skimp on toppings and condiments. read more

The service was fast and I like it when you get to watch them make the food. The ambiance was a little bit dry but good. I got the steak and cheese taco and iI thought it was ok the portion was small and the cheese was too gooey but it went well with the pico de gallo and guacamole. Ok nice look food could be bigger but overall good would go again! read more

Mmm mm mm the flavors are melting on my tongue!! Look at how gorgeous these tacos are !! Beautifully stuffed and garnished! Taco Asada 8/10 : Super flavorful and a tender, just needed a little more cream bc it was a little dry. Taco Pollo 9/10 : So so so so juicy! Nicely marinated and I loved the seasonings! A little hot but not spicy at all and it's a nice kick of flavor. Tacos Carnitas 10/10 : I loveee carnitas! Juicy and flavorful! The meat is tender and melts in your mouth! Torta Carnitas 8/10 : Could use a little more meat and a little more cheese, but overall the flavor was great and the bread is nice and toasted. Overall, I need more of that green crema! It was sooo good I could drink it on its own! I love these tacos and you can order each of them individually so if you just want a little snack you can order only 1 taco! read more

Tenoch Mexican - Torta Carnitas and Taco Carnitas, Taco Asada, Taco Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

We came here on a Sunday night after our absolute favorite Taqueria was closed. We walked right in at about 630. It looked like it was a little chilly in there, but it was very inviting food wise. The staff was very nice, smiled attentively and let us place our order. It came up very quickly and we were sitting at a table by the window. The food was OK. I've actually had better tacos, but these were definitely a good second to our absolute favorite. The only thing I found? All of our tacos were room temperature or a little bit warmer at best. Nothing was hot hot. I like hot hot. But the flavor on each one was pretty good. I probably won't get the chicken won again. That was very basic. The carnitas and chiccharon ones were stellar. But we will definitely be back. read more

Come on, Tenoch. First you cut back to one tortilla, now you're using smaller tortillas? It's raise your price a quarter and give the people what they want. If you didn't have the best tasting tacos in New England, I might consider bailing. read more

Last 5 times I've been have been just out of the park. I've been a tough critic of Tenoch for years because some days are better than others. Sometimes you'll get a brisket taco and you'll feel like that the brisket was from the night before because it's kind of tough. However, 9 out of 10 times this place is rock your socks off. Just look at this pic, just perfection. Mind you....this is taco number two....it was so good I went back in and got another lol. Taco Campechano - chorizo and carnitas...out of this world. read more

I actually got this for lunch at the food truck at the Science Center at Harvard. Two tacos alone are satisfying. Each tortilla is filled to the max with meat and toppings.

I could eat at Tenoch for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's a small taco spot with some of the most authentic tacos in the area. More of a grab and go spot, you order at the counter and get your food immediately. The carne asada tacos and campechano tacos are my absolute fav! read more

3.5 stars Was curious about this place after seeing a few Yelpers mention it as their "go-to Mexican place." My "go-to Mexican place" in the sad ethnic food desert that is New England (most "Mexican" places here are actually Salvadorean, they just use the "Mexican" label because it's the only one all the gringos recognize) so far has been Taqueria El Amigo which is actually run by actual Mexican folks---but it's a bit of a drive to get to Waltham and sometimes is packed with way more folks than its tiny dining area and kitchen can handle. A distant second has been Anna's Taqueria (founded by a Japanese-American) at their multiple locations mainly for the price to food ratio and generally decent quality/service...certainly a far better alternative to the craptastic Chipotle chain. The main thing this place has over the other 2 is that you can get a beer here to go with the food. Just Corona (water) and Negro Modelo (somewhat decent), but better than nothing---this is the reason for the 1/2 star I'd add to this review which Yelp unfortunately does not allow. They use the same Subway-sandwich system as Anna's: you stand in line and then place your order to someone who puts your food together in front of you from a bunch of already-made ingredients, pay for it and either take it out or to your table in disposable containers and plastic utensils. This means you get your food fast (assuming it's not peak hours with a big line) but the food is room temp or at best, barely warm. Service vibe is fairly indifferent/cold, as seems the norm in New England although it's a bit worse here than say, Anna's Taqueria or Taco Loco. So I can totally relate to the reviews complaining about rude/lazy workers here. Actual food quality is also about average. I was ecstatic that they have chicharron as one of their protein options, but it was quite tough and bland..."bland" describes everything I had there, although I wonder if this is true at other locations not just this white-bread Medford one. What really stood out in terms of hopelessly-bland and generally-appalling however, was the "salsa" that came with our chips...looked and tasted like cubed tomatoes drowned in ketchup and a couple of token green flecks of what I'm guessing was supposed to stand in for cilantro but also had no flavor at all. It would NOT be an exaggeration to say that I've had better tasting "salsa" out of a jar from the non-refrigerated section of supermarkets. Yet the chips were among the best I've ever had here! Next time I come here I will order the chips with guac instead of that atrocious pseudo-salsa. And maybe stick to the tacos and burritos...assuming that it really is impossible to screw up guac, tacos, and burritos as one would think/hope. But this being New England, who knows really? Better keep my fingers crossed, LOL Thank god for the Negro Modelo! read more

I got the pollo taco and carne asada tacos, and they were so delicious! 10/10 taco My friend got the pollo Plato, and the rice was very flavorful and the food was good but didn't wow me. They were very fast with getting our food ready once we got to the front of the line, but the line moved a little slowly. However, everyone was super kind and nice, and made ordering easy read more

Love the food, most of the staff are friendly and accommodating. Wish they served breakfast after 11am on the weekend - adding eggs to the fillings menu with a surcharge would be a welcome remedy. Today 1/27/18 was charged $9.63 for a Quesadilla de Maiz. Nothing extra. Menu clearly says $7. When I mentioned the disparity to the clerk ringing me up, he said it's $9. I probably would have still ordered it if it said $10. But the bait and switch followed by the cavalier attitude is inappropriate. Any explanation or a simple "sorry, we have to change the menu" would have gone a long way. Left wondering if it was deliberate and/or systematic overcharge. I'd give this place a 4 or 5 if one or two of their staff were more cordial or knew how to smile or say good morning. How hard is that? The food is very good it comes out quickly, it's hot and delicious. Most of the staff are really friendly. Today however it seemed like the guy running the line really didn't want to be there. If you like mexican food, this is the place. It's busy and they have to move the people through the line, so be ready with your order. Just wish I didn't walk away feeling like the guy with the sour face behind the counter was thinking "it's just a taco" when his co-worker over charged me. Went back today 8-14-24. Ordered what used to be my favorite - quesadilla de maiz. The corn tortilla used to be made fresh - the texture was wonderful. The freshly cooked masa flour reminded me of a tamale. Now it's cooked days ahead? Smaller, stale texture, hard to cut. Ruined it for me. I asked for additional condiments, the kid behind the counter ignored me. Finally got a side of pico de gallo, no flavor, no seasoning or lime juice, bland and boring. Used to love this place, what happened? Almost $30 for what turned out to be two tacos and a diet coke. Sad. We have so few decent restaurants in Medford. This place used to be the only place downtown worth frequenting. How far you have fallen Tenoch. I used to recommend this place to everyone. read more

I remember when Tenoch was starting off as a food truck. I'm really glad they have expanded into multiple retail locations. We were in the Medford area and wifey had never tried so this was a must although she went against my advice and didn't get their torta and got the quesadilla. Get their torta, you won't regret the decision. I didn't even touch the chips and guac we ordered because the torta was solid size! read more

Read as 3.5 stars. Ordered taco pescado, plato pollo and a side of guac. Generous portion of fish wrapped in 2 corn tortillas, with onions, cilantro, topped with roja and verde sauces - flavors were average. The rice and chicken were seasoned well, beans looked like they were out of a can. Overall food was average. Service was quick and friendly read more

After 100 trips, I figure I owe this place a review. Tenoch keeps me fed regularly. You cannot get a bad sandwich there. Every single torta they have is packed with flavor and thoughtfully built. I opt most often for a plato, so I can divide it in half and make a couple meals out of it. Do your best to look at the menu ahead of time, so that the line doesn't form behind you while you stare at your options. If you're in there without a "first time reader" in front of you, you can be in and out in five minutes or less. read more

Just payed $15 for the soggiest torta of my life. Get some better bread guys that shit was terrible.

This has the best torta in the Boston area. This is the original location with a food truck and another location in Davis Square. This location is small, if you have a large group and want to eat in, I suggest the Davis location. The torta is a game changer! It's perfectly toasted with delicious ingredients. All the flavors just melt in your mouth. The food is prepared efficiently and is perfect if you wanted to take the food on the go. Their terminal also supports mobile payment. read more
