It was my first time here and I absolutely loved it! ✨ We had enchiladas and horchata, and everything was delicious. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is beyond amazing. The staff is so kind, friendly, and attentive.
The best part was when they found out it was my friend’s birthday and surprised us by celebrating with a Mexican song It was such a special and unforgettable moment. They really made us feel valued. This place is now one of my favorites. Highly recommended!

U N R E A L. Spectacular. The tacos were amazing and I barely got a picture off before we ate them all. The place is very small but very intimate. The service was amazing and it just had such a feeling of a great mom and pop shop. I hope this place stays open forever. It’s tough when a place gets hyped up and you go there and it’s just pretty good… This was not the case this place is absolutely phenomenal. Boston and the northeast aren’t known for their Mexican spots but this place is definitely gotta be top three. My grandparents lived in San Diego and I’ve had family in Mexico so my family and I are always looking for places to bring us back and this is it. Go here. My favorites are the chorizo and carnitas.

100% delicious and fully pleasing! Ate here last night and regret that I didn’t order more. I will be coming here weekly. The food got to my table and the tortilla was still very warm to touch (unlike other similar restaurants that pull the tortilla out of the plastic wrap). The portion size was plenty for what you pay for. They have a hot sauce in a bottle that isn’t on the table unless you ask for it. The service was great, they speak English for the non Spanish speakers. They also are hospitable and cater to you attentively. The restaurant itself is tiny, there are about 6 tables to dine in. No alcohol, but do have delicious milkshakes and horchata. This place is a MUST try. Might be top 5 taquerias in MA. Cash and card accepted.

HIGHLY recommend this location if you are looking for AUTHENTIC, Mexican food taste. I had the torta de carnitas, chef’s kiss. My husband had a more traditional plate with eggs for breakfast and also enjoyed his dish. Breakfast options are few but am sure are all delicious in their own right. Our server was kind and we received our orders within minutes of placing them. One thing that was a little off was the coffee. Tasted very watered down and hard to pinpoint where the recipe was tweaked. We will return to try their other delicious options though! Decorations on the wall to honor the culture was very beautiful to see.

Top 100 places to eat Yelp 2023 award. Great food, even better prices. I tried chicken & el-pastor tacos & it was delicious. Horchata was amazing too. No restroom inside, parking is outside on street. Very small restaurant but pretty good service & food. Chips & salsa was bomb! Salsa is not for faint hearted ! It was spicy ️ i loved it overall.

Best, Fresh, Tasty taco.
One of the best taqueria in the Boston area. The restaurant is small and best for a party of 2 to 4. I would highly recommend dine-in here. Their salsa is fresh and flavor packed. the tacos are delicious and made fresh with soft corn tortilla, the preferred choice of meat, avocado, and cilantro.
The Chorizo taco is worth not missing.

Service was so amazing they are so kind here! Food was bomb, so good I forgot to take a picture before I took the first bite and after that first bite… I couldn’t stop till it was done hahaha that to me always means it’s a place I’ll definitely return to. Highly recommend you try this place out. Great price to quantity of food for sure!

The real deal. Order in Spanish or English, the food is authentic and spectacular either way. This is the original hole-in-the-wall that serves world class food for student cafeteria prices. They’ve been in the same location for years, never franchised or opened clone stores, just served up some of the best Tex-Mex (emphasis on Mex) available anywhere on the planet. I highly recommend a glass of the homemade Horchata to go with your meal.

Dios mío – comida deliciosa !!
Authentic taste of Mexico right here in Waltham ! Food 5 ⭐️ | Service 5 ⭐️ | Ambiance – who cares when the food is this great tasting.
Highlights- Chabeza ( cheek) tacos
Chorizo ( sausage) tacos
Carnitas ( pork) torta
Horchata ( rice milk )
Veggie lovers don’t be disheartened- ask for the veggie enchiladas, trust me they are at par with the meat dishes.
Taqueria team thank you for making our Mexican dinner enjoyable.. we loved the food and the service.
We had to wait a solid 35 minutes to get a table, they have only a handful for tables ( 6 to be precise). There is a big queue for take outs, the kitchen is busy like crazy.
At the table our hostess was great, friendly and attentive. We didn’t have to wait a lot for the food, in the meanwhile chips and guacamole kept us busy.
We finished the food with a tres leche cake which was tasty but a bit too sugary. They seems to have gotten a “top 100 places to eat” award from Yelp. Honestly I am not surprised… they are just too good.
Google thank you for a great find, I will keep coming till then “ disfrute de su comida” ( enjoy your meal)
