Excellent! Great salsa and chips, the carnitas, pollo, and birria tacos were great! Looking forward to trying other things there!

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.

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!

Had the beef cheek tacos and it was solid, especially with the sauce. A little under $13 for 4 tacos. My friend loved the burrito, but felt the beef taco was a little dry. If it wasn’t in Waltham, we’d love to go more often.

They seemed busy with people coming and going, but the wait wasn’t too bad

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.

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.
