Got the crispy fish quesadilla – received a massive piece of soggy overcooked fish. Definitely just re-warmed fish, tasted like it hadn’t been properly thawed because it was fishy too. I always want to support local businesses, but this was real bad. Chicken quesadilla for my daughter was fine, nothing great but not bad.

The food here was very good.
My husband ordered the carnitas tacos and enjoyed them. I opted for the chicken nachos and found them to have a good amount of cheese and meat on them. It was also a decent sized portion.

Good amount of toppings but disappointing amount of nachos. Nachos tasted a little dated.
Did not like the all pastor protein (dry, chewy and lots of chunks of fat).
Communication (instructions on text messages and pick up) was very poor

Got the authentic experience in that I’ve got stomach issues after dining here earlier in the day. The tacos were actually quite good, but there was something a bit off about the guac topping, and now I’m wishing I had scraped it off when I felt that it didn’t quite taste right. So basically overpaid for food that is now making me sick. At least in Mexico, you’re charged a fraction of the price to get this sick.

Mexican place inside Timeout market with tacos and quesadillas. We got an asada taco, carnitas taco, and vegan chorizo quesadilla. Prices are as expected (around $15 a person depending on how many tacos you get).
The food was not mind-blowing but better than average I would say. I think they would benefit from using beyond meat / impossible meat instead of whichever vegan chorizo they used.
The horchata was GREAT though, get it.

Actually, I was not a Tacos fan. But!!!! They Taqueria El Barrio let me fall in love with Tacos and Tortas. I ordered pork belly tacos and grilled chicken tortas. Their drinks and sauces are amazing! They are so fresh, yummy and unforgettable!
Undoubtedly, I will be back soon. Highly recommended visit Taqueria El Barrio in Boston.

Absolutely amazing people that truly care about their customers.
I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is very good and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I ordered from their Harvard Square location. What an incredible experience and atmosphere.
Props to the chef, he has a good personality and true passion for his talent.
Did I mention that the tortillas are homemade? Soooo good! You can tell each ingredient is made with true love.
Best Tacos In America ❤️

So I feel extremely mixed about this rating: I ordered three different tacos, each of which was honestly really good, and if I was judging the restaurant based solely on the tacos I would easily give this restaurant a 5 star rating.
BUT…
I also ordered some Mexican street corn. This option on the menu is the main reason I decided to choose this restaurant. I LOVE Mexican street corn. It is its inclusion on the menu that caused me to order from this restaurant. In general, I love corn regardless of how it’s prepared. I have eaten raw unsweetened unseasoned corn on the cob and been very happy.
So it is with great consternation that I say that I could not finish, nay, not eat most of my Mexican street corn. I like squeezed lime, especially in my Mexican dishes. But all three chunks of cob were soaked in an unpalatable degree in lime juice, to the point they were too sour to even eat. I’ve had street corn all over this was the first and hopefully only I could not stomach. They were absolutely terrible, and I didn’t even know you could do that with corn on the cob. If I was giving this restaurant a rating on their corn I would give it a one. Genuinely awful.
But then all three of the tacos I ordered were good, with the exception of the tortilla, which reminded me more of rice paper than a tortilla.
Get the tacos. Avoid the corn with your life.

I got the crispy Pollo taco and a soft Pescado taco with an assortment of hot salsas they had. They have Pico de Gallo on top of some of the tacos with cucumbers and radishes on the side for a refreshing crunch. I absolutely loved their tacos and Nutella churros. I’m someone who is pretty particular with churros and I loved these ones because they were a little crispy (how I like them) as opposed to the chewy and doughiness of Lolita’s churros. You need to check this place out!!! You’ll be obsessed like me, already coming back to this place SOON!
