It is definitely not fancy, but then that is not always bad. We decided to try it because a friend had recommended it for some time and we had never dined there. It's a fairly small place with about 6 booths along each side wall, and then tables in the middle. The décor is what I would affectionately describe as... More

I've ate here 3 times. Everytime it gets worse. No taste, unexciting food to say the least. People use to say this was the best in Waltham. Go elsewhere if you enjoy good Mexican

The menu is big, the place is small, the line was long, but quick and well worth it! The chips and salsa to start were great with the sangria! The servers are running like crazy and the food came quickly. It was all very tasty! I enjoyed the tamales very much! Topped with delicious salsa verde, spicy, yum! The beef... More

Our friend Nate told us about Taqueria Mexico years ago. It's one of our regular haunts. I love the chicken mole. Other family members prefer the fajitas. We've only had one or two bad visits in over seven years.

The menu at this place is pretty large and diverse. Everything is mexican but many options on the menu go beyond the standard mexican restaurant. I had a lamb burrito (it was great). We went to this restaurant looking to stay in a budget and we did. Most of the entrees are under $10. The meal is not huge but... More

Food here is really delicious. The salsa and chips they give you is kinda spicy, but is tasty for those who enjoy the spiciness. The carne asada is very tasty!

This is a small out of the way taqueria. It was rather empty on a Tuesday night which meant no wait for a table. We had to ask the background music be turned down so we could carry on a conversation. The menu was typical for a Mexican restaurant, but the cooking seemed authentic made to order. The food was... More

Over the last three years, I've been an occasional visitor to this family-run Mexican restaurant. The food is plain but authentic (except for lettuce everywhere). Service has been cheery and reasonably fast. The prices are low. Last Sunday night, we stopped in on our way home. The room was packed and impossibly noisy. It took us over an hour to... More

We found this place several years ago before it became popular. Very good, authentic Mexican food served quickly at a price that is fair. pollo Con Mole is the best I have had anywhere. Nacho have a ton of meat and cheese, enchiladas are delicious. There is always a wait for table, but food comes out quickly so never too... More

I love this place ... reminds me of many family run Mexican places that I've eaten at for years. Great chile rellenos, salsas, tacos, fresh juice ... Friendly staff and warm atmosphere.
