Best WLM Reviews
I’ve been coming here for a few years now, every now and then. While the food is still good, I have to mention that service has gone downhill, perhaps due to their growing popularity.
I wanted to remove a chips and guacamole order from the bill I phoned in because it costs $14(!).. shocked to see that. I got quite a few eye rolls among the front staff and hesitancy to abide by that request (likely not freshly made to order items anyway, so not sure what the issue was). Had to repeat my request before they went forward eventually.
Then, I asked for extra onion/cilantro on side. They apparently charge $2 for this now (or maybe they were annoyed at me now, so a “special charge”) They have never charged me for this in the 10-15+ times I’ve been here. I said yes, but they ended up now giving it to me nor charging me for it because they said “I didn’t say yes or no” to getting it. A bit rude response. Of note, there are only 2 other customers there, waiting for their take out order, so not busy at the time.
Overall unpleasant experience for otherwise good tacos for Boston (but below average for California). I welcome owners’ rebuttal and defense.
Excellent! Great salsa and chips, the carnitas, pollo, and birria tacos were great! Looking forward to trying other things there!
Burrito and Al Pastor Taco was excellent! Great service and good food!
Cheap for the amount of food I received.
Best tacos in the Boston area. I’ve been coming for over 10 years and have never had a bad meal. Staff is super friendly and service is quick. I always go with tacos especiales with cabeza, but everything on the menu is great. Cozy inside so if you have a big group, get your food to go. A not so hidden anymore gem!
Best tacos I’ve had on the East Coast. Really (really) small spot, but great place to pick up some food during my lunch break.
Hello
I went to this Taqueria with a group of friends, at the beginning everything was fine. When we were done we asked for the check, of course, it couldn’t be split it into four, that’s not the problem. Our waitress was extremely rude, we asked if we could pay individually, she said that she couldn’t because that’s too complicated for her even though it’s her job. I personally told her about charging us individually but she said she forgot the items that we ordered , so I kindly told her that we did remember what we order still she was insisting that it was too difícil for her to do it. Our visit to this place was horrible, we wanted to have a good time but she completely ruined. This waitress charged the items wrong and couldn’t perform her job properly. Also we left that place without the receipt since she said that it belonged to the restaurant. Which I don’t know if it’s true. If I could give this place a 0 star, I would.
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)
Truly the best authentic taquería in the Boston area. Not only is their food consistent and tasty, but their welcoming stuff will make you feel right at home. I have gone consistently in the past 6 months, twice per month at least, and my personal favorites as the "Tacos dorados", "quesadilla", and any of the burritos. Be prepared to wait if you go at "food rush" hour as the place is truly small and there will be a wait.
