Went here before heading to the club for New Year’s and didn’t like this place at all. We arrived about an hour and a half before closing, and there was no one at the front to greet or seat guests. My husband and I ended up walking to the bar and seating ourselves since no one directed us.
There were about four other groups seated at the bar, and many tables around us were already occupied. After sitting for about 5–10 minutes, we asked the bartender for menus. The response came with an attitude: “Let me finish what I’m doing, then I’ll come to you.”
Once we received the menus, we ordered drinks and food. I ordered flautas and a chicken taco. The flautas were good, but the chicken in the taco was very watery, and I couldn’t even finish it. My husband ordered a plate with rice, fajitas, salad, and beans, which he did enjoy.
We only saw two staff members working the floor, so they may have been short-staffed, which could explain some of the issues. However, overall, I didn’t like the food presentation or the customer service. I won’t be returning, but I do recommend improving customer service and hiring more staff.

One of the better Mexican food spots in town. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was tasty. Tilapia and pulled chicken tacos were delicious.

The service was quick, and the tacos were incredibly delicious. We were lucky to dine in on Taco Tuesday, which offered 3 tacos for $12, a great deal that made the experience even better.
The restaurant was quite busy and fast-paced, so the servers didn’t have much time for small talk, which might explain some of the negative reviews we read while dining. Based on our visit, the fast pace seemed more a result of high demand than poor service.
Overall, with the quality of food and pricing, there’s really not much to complain about, and I would definitely go back again if I visit the city again.

Ok, Naco Taco, we need to talk. Your frito torta was to die for. I’ve been singing your praises for years. It’s the one thing that could kick me out of any depressive state I may be in, and I’m not even joking. The delightful buttery bun, the extra crispy fish, the spicy sauce, all worked in perfect harmony. What on earth did you do with the magic combo?! Did you fire your chef? It now comes with a dry, uninspiring bread, that also tends to get soggy and fall apart almost immediately (too much sauce or maybe too liquid?!), and fish that’s just a vague reminder of what it used to taste like. Please bring back the old frito torta!!!! This literally breaks my heart

It sucked that they wouldn’t let us sit outside even though there were ample seats available, warm weather and only 8:30 at night. But ambience inside is still cool.
Tamarind margarita with mezcal was awesome, and the street corn did not disappoint! Probably my most fav part of the meal even though it’s an app.
Ordered 3 tacos: pescado, camarones and carnitas. I’ve eaten here before but I feel like last night they missed the mark. The pescado is actually a really thick piece of fish – delicious but overshadows the whole taco and not much room for other ingredients. The camarones was beyond spicy, I don’t know what happened I couldn’t eat it. But the carnitas was delicious!
Might go back and try their other tacos. I’ve heard good things about their pollo and tofu taco and ceviche. But disappointed last night didn’t go as planned.

Great food. I had the chicken, steak and pulled pork tacos. They were all great. I would personally recommend the steak, but you can’t go wrong with any of them. It was nice sitting outside with a good breeze to make the temperature just right. My waitress was quick and responsive. My only slight grievance was that there were not enough napkins. The food is quite messy so more napkins at the table would be appreciated. Overall, a great restaurant that I would recommend. They also give post cards away when you get the bill which is a little something extra.

I used to come here all the time when I lived in Cambridge. But that was about five years ago. I loved loved loved it back then. I’ve gone a few times recently during visits, and it’s not what it used to be. It’s still good!But something is missing. I get the sense. It’s the quality of the ingredients much like other restaurants have suffered post Covid. I will say, there’s smoked tofu taco is by far my favorite vegetarian Taco to date. I was a bit sad to learn that they no longer have encurtidos on the menu.

Came in here after a long day of painting was greeted instantly by the lovely staff. Was asked if I wanted to dine in or takeout I told them takeout but ended staying anyway. I ordered a chicken taco and a fish torta. The food was absolutely amazing along with the service. Shoutouts to the beautiful staff at Naco Taco. Will definitely be going back.

Okay food and cool location especially with the outdoor seating. The reason I knocked it a star (from my default 4) was my tacos werent incredible- wish they had more other toppings and not just 95% meat (though i appreciate they gave plenty of meat)
The tortillas were also soggy and breaking apart when i was eating the tacos. I understand juicy meat will do this but i havent had this issue at other taco places
The staff were fine, and the tacos came out very fast (in a few minutes)

Outdoor dining was closed because of lack of staff.
Pickled vegetables were the best
Gluten-free options were much appreciated.
The guacamole is good but the salsas selection was not good at all. They all tasted the same. We get charged $6 for a little thing of salsa to go with our chips and guac.
