El Borracho

Love this s place. The ambience is great. The service is great and fast. The food is also fantastic. I love how they have jazzed up typical Mexican cuisine. Had the "El Borracho" yesterday and the cheese sauce with poblanos and tequila was great with the shrimp.

Tequila's Mexican Cantina opened in Groton recently in the former Ixtapa Mexican Grill & Cantina. They have other locations in Chelmsford, Hudson MA, and Wakefield. This casual Mexican restaurant and bar has a cozy and noisy atmosphere with booths, high top tables and a long bar with seating and TVs. The food menu offerings include street tacos, birria jalisco, tortas, burritos, fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, flautas, , soups, salads, and desserts are moderate prices. The bar offers 10 draft beers, bottled beers, wine, tequilas, margaritas, cocktails, and martinis. I stopped by for dinner recently and the place was very busy. I decided to sit up at the bar for prompt service. I was given a menu and an ice water. I placed my order for Chicken Fajitas ($21 plus tax) and was given a complimentary basket of warm crunchy chips and three dips (green salsa, brown dip, creamy orange dip), which was enjoyable as I watched March Madness play on the TV. The sizzling fajitas arrived within 15 minutes with the accompaniments of pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, Mexican rice, refried beans with cheese and 3 warm tortillas, a bit dry. The sizzling iron plate had marinated and seasoned tender chicken pieces, peppers, and onions. I was hungry and I finished off the good portions of tasty food along with the chips and dips. I passed on dessert and got the check which was $22.31 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food was tasty and very filling to eat. The service here was prompt with the bartender and a couple kitchen runners taking care of things including bringing out chips and dips, food, extra ice water, and clearing my plates as I finished.

Diego's Margarita

Went here for a quick drink from out of town, ended up staying here for 2 hours. Great service great food I ordered the quesa biria and tried some of the best margaritas I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Panchitos Mule

Stopped by on my way home craving some tacos, was seated quickly and brought out their chips and three different dipping options. The music here was a bit loud for me but the decor was pleasant and it had good lighting. The staff was nice and accommodated my request to switch up one of the taco plates, I did not feel rushed or as if I was being inconvenient to them. As for the chips and salsa, the cheese sauce had kind of an odd flavor, not for me, but the other two were okay, wished for a slight bite of heat for at least one of them as they were a little bland, and the chips were both round and triangular as if some were from a bag. Ordered the Panchitos Mule to drink which was very pretty and had that perfect hit of ginger, super refreshing. For dinner I ordered the pork carnitas and Tokyo tacos to really see the range of flavors and style tacos they advertise. When they came out they smelled absolutely delicious. Starting with the pork carnitas the meat was juicy and well seasoned, the cheese was melty and the, what I believe were pickled onion, on top gave a great acidity to break through that really heavy cheese and meat. The Tokyo tacos were also cooked really well but the flavor was a bit more subtle and the tortilla had a bit less give than I usually like but all in all very good. In regard to the side of beans and rice the rice was very nice but I am not so big on the beans, there was some kind of after taste I personally was not a fan of. Those carnitas though, blew me away. This spot feels like a nice date night spot, or night alone to have a drink and bite of food. I will definitely be back and recommend if you're in the area to stop in and give it a try yourself.

The aforementioned newborn sized burrito

Delicious food, friendly staff, beautiful interior. Portions are huge, so consider that when ordering. The chips and salsa are phenomenal, so is the horchata. My dad got hand rolled tamales with some bomb rice. My brother got a burrito that was the size of a newborn baby. I got the empanadas (appetizer) and it was so huge, at least 3 people could eat them and be completely full. The staff were very helpful and efficient, the wait was pretty short. The inside of the restaurant had a really fun atmosphere and design. I definitely recommend this restaurant, but just be ready to take home a ton of leftovers if you get your own meal.

What a lovely little restaurant! Although tucked away in a little corner of the plaza, this hidden…read moregem packs a real punch in each of their flavorful dishes, almost enough to remind me of the great Mexican food I ate in my California hometown! The corn tortillas are soft and rich, the most reminiscent version I've found in Massachusetts so far of the flavors I remember back home. Also, the char of the asada paired with the tenderness of the chicken was addicting! Overall a really great, authentic Mexican restaurant option that brings some of the upscale Marlborough vibes to the table! Additionally, the service was super quick (perhaps a little frantic) and incredibly accommodating despite being seemingly short-staffed. Their whole operation felt like it ran with love and appreciation for the customers and the dishes they were serving up. Not to mention, they have TONS of traditional Mexican dish options ranging from simple tacos to molcajete!! So far, this has been some of my favorite Mexican food in the area, not only for the great flavors, but for the kind service and the lovely vibes. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other dinner options!! Their menu is extensive with large portions too, and there's sure to be something for any craving you have!
