Tencho Mexican Restaurant: A Medford Hidden Gem That’s *Un-Burrito-Lievable*!
Let’s taco ’bout Tencho—a tiny but mighty Mexican spot in Medford Center that proves good things come in unassuming packages. Sure, it’s not the flashiest fiesta on the block, but who needs neon sombreros when your taste buds are doing the cha-cha with every bite?
We’ve done takeout twice now, and both times, the food slapped harder than a piñata at a birthday party. My wife swears by their tacos (and she’s a tough critic—almost as tough as deciding between chips and guac). But me? I’ve got a one-track mind—The Burro De La Casa: Adobado.
This isn’t just a burrito. Oh no. This is a flavor bomb wrapped in a tortilla hug. Tender, slow-braised pork in guajillo sauce? Check. Sweet plantains that flirt with savory perfection? Check. Queso fresco and sour cream tying it all together like a delicious edible bow? CHECK. It’s the kind of meal that makes you want to write sonnets—or at least Yelp reviews with too many puns.
I’ve ordered it both times because why mess with perfection? If Tencho only sold this burrito and a side of “sorry, we’re out of everything else,” I’d still be first in line.
Final Verdict: Tencho may be small, but their flavors are grande. Do yourself a flan-or and get that burrito before I buy them all.
Rating: (5/5 Tacos—because burritos are just tacos in commitment-phobe mode.)

I am Mexican and I try to find food that’s as closest to the flavors in Mexico. About 7 years ago, Tenoch was my “go to”. I would get the torta campechana consistently and my husband the asada con queso.
The last couple of years, their tortas have gotten flatter. Less ingredients and soaking wet from the excess chipotle mayo and chipotle sauce. On top of that, by the time I get home (5 min drive), my food is cold. It’s really sad to see this happen. I hope that the owner reads this and takes into account how they are being represented now.

I went here and ordered the veggie burrito and taco. I could not put the burrito down. It was delicious the whole way through. The ingredients were all very fresh and it tasted very authentic. The only reason I’m giving a 4 is the fact there was a piece of cardboard in my taco. Not sure how that got in there but definitely ruined the whole thing. I would go back though as it must have been a fluke.

We got the adobaba and their different chorizo versions. All were pretty delicious and had good amount of meat. Definitely my go to taco place from now on.

This restaurant is super popular. We went there on a Friday night and it was packed! Always a line waiting for order. The torta was amazing and the price was reasonable. Will definitely come back for more.

This is a pretty good chain Mexican restaurant that is great to have in the town of Medford. I wish it was a bit more welcoming, the employees seemed a bit irritated when I customized my order, and they didn’t seem too happy to be there in general.
The reason I’m writing this review is basically yeah just the unwelcome feeling and look that I got from the person who made my food . Tasted very good actually but not as good as the location in Somerville, the cook was a bit younger, and he struggled to give me rice and bean customizations

I rarely ever post reviews, especially bad ones, and ESPECIALLY when it’s small/local businesses. But this was beyond disappointing and borderline disgusting. First of all, my quesadilla was an unwrapped burrito, had no cheese and was COLD. I added veggies to it thinking it would be sautéed onions, peppers, etc. It wasn’t. It was uncooked zucchini and tomatoes with some green bell peppers?? Who does that?? Save your money and do not get food to go here. I literally threw out my food because it was cold, slimy, and absolutely nothing like what I pictured when I ordered it. I almost want to dispute the charge on my card because I’m so upset.

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.

Really good portion sizes for the plates. The food was fresh and hot. I wasn’t a fan of the chips and salsa but my husband ate it.

Ordered a steak burrito, it was just rice and beans. Ordered a cheese quesadilla, it was just bread. The $6 guac and chips was fine, but was probably half of an avocado worth. I’ll never order from here again
