LOOKING FOR THE

Best Mexican Food in Boston

Best days for Best Mexican Food in Boston

Map My Location
Tu Y Yo
858 Broadway Somerville, MA 02144
(617) 623-5411
In New England’s sea of fake Mexican restaurants run by gringos, Tu Y Yo stands out for its authenticity, which draws a diverse crowd hankering for huevos rancheros and strong sangria. The family-run restaurant gets super crowded during the school year, especially on weekends, but in the summer it slows down a bit. A bit. Open Mon-Thu 5pm-10pm; Fri 4pm-10pm; Sat 8am-10pm; Sun 8am-9pm
Anna's Taqueria
84 Massachusetts Ave Boston, MA 02139
(617) 324-2662
There are now five Anna’s Taquerias in the Boston area, and all of them produce fresh, homemade Mexican. Even folks who move places closer to Mexico itself (i.e., California) miss this stuff. The scene is bright, busy and fast-foodish, with no Coronas, señor, and no credit cards, but the tacos, the burritos and the guac are the bomb. Open everyday from 10:00 am to 11:00pm
Ole Mexican Grill
11 Springfield St Cambridge, MA 02139
(617) 492-4495
This funky, bright little Cambridge spot can warm the nastiest of winter days with its tropical décor and fresh, tableside guacamole (at almost $10, a bit pricey for a condiment, but worth the splurge). The salsa is also made at your table, the corn tortillas are handmade, and the wide range of authentic entrees should keep everyone happy. Open Mon-Thu 5:30pm-10pm; Fri-Sat 5pm-11pm; Sun 10am-3pm, 5pm-9:30pm
Picante
271 Washington Street Boston, MA 02108
(617) 367-6464
A hangout for students and others on a budget—or on a salsa streak—Picante is the place to go for Mexican as healthy as it can be. The cooks have sworn off lard and keep salt, sugar and oil to a minimum. And the tacos, quesadillas and burritos, all around $3 to $9. are still remarkably tasty. Make sure to take advantage of the huge salsa bar. Open Weekdays 7:30am-5pm
Cactus Club
939 Boylston St Boston, MA 02115
(617) 236-0200
The outdoor patio, the scam-heavy scene and the margaritas have made the Cactus Club a perennial hot spot, but the food, from shrimp mini-tacos to chimichangas, deserves some attention, too. Some of the best times to go are Mondays to Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m., when apps are half-off, or on Sundays after 10 p.m., when there’s a free taco bar. Open Mon 12am-2am, 4pm-2am; Tue 4pm-2am; Wed-Sat 11:30am-2am; Sun 11:30am-12am
