    Mole Enchiladas with black beans and rice.
    Matthew J.

    Great neighborhood with tons of options for food. AMT had great service and their food was delicious. Not gonna lie, their fresh chips and salsa are some of the best I've had in a while.

    cohenite pibil taco
    Gabby B.

    Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! My friend recommended this place for its delicious food and he was right! I have been wanting to try this place ever since my friend mentioned it and we finally had dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant has a great bar and decor. We sat inside but they have plenty of outdoor patio seating. We started with drinks and they had a few margaritas to choose from. I finally decided on their spicy jalapeno margarita and to my surprise it was nice and spicy and very good. We decided to share a couple of appetizers and got the Mexican street corn or elote and the octopus. For my main dish I decided on a cochinito pibil taco (Mexican pulled pork taco) and an Al pastor taco. The elote and octopus were very good but the star of the show was the cochinito taco! It's flavor was on point that it literally transported me back to California, my hometown! I was very pleased with the taco! It really hit the spot. I will definitely be back for more delicious margaritas and tacos!

    What else? An original margarita.

    Looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food in a pleasant environment? This is your place, located at the top of Moody Street in Waltham. Parking is a little tricky but there are several municipal lots within a couple of blocks. I went with two friends, one of whom uses a cane, so I was worried about mobility around what looked to be a small space from the online pictures, but it is not so small and at 12:30 on a January Saturday we were some of the first to arrive (although the place was bustling at 2:30 when we left). Okay, enough with the logistics, let's talk about the FOOD. Outstanding. Two of us had the tasty original margaritas with plenty of salt (sorry, blood pressure). One diner started with the sopa de tortilla, followed with the enchiladas which looked fantastic. My other companion and I had the lunch special of quesadillas with chicken, which were outstanding. All the meals came with a choice of Mexican or lime rice, and black or refried beans. I had the Mexican rice and black beans which were plentiful if a little bland--needed a little salt or spice or something. Oh, and did I mention the homemade guacamole and salsa served with chips? We had to shut ourselves off at one point for fear of not having enough room for the meal itself. And if all of that wasn't enough, were we able to resist the offer of flan for dessert? That would be "no." Delicious. All in all we very pleased with our first visit to this entry into the storied Moody Street restaurant scene. It will not be our last!

    Carne asada taco!
    Benjamin K.

    I live nearby but finally came for my birthday dinner recently and had a great time, deciding to order a number of dishes I've never had before. The pork belly guacamole was excellent as an appetizer, and the tacos too. I should mention that the barbacoa was pretty spicy, which isn't always the case in my other experiences. Chicken tinga taco was really nice also, with a big slice of avocado in there. We got these as part of a taco combo order which is definitely worth it. I also had to separately get the carne asada taco (which includes avocado mousse on it, red morita sauce, and golden brown cheese) which was probably my favorite, the meat having a really nice sear/roast to it. I had the house margarita which was also very good. The service was great. Highly recommended, especially in a group!

    Chips and salsa
    Hungrytommy ..

    Tonight was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. We started with the three mini tamales plate. The mole sauce on the chicken tamale was outstanding and even better was the tomatillo sauce on the pork tamale. We also had the brussels sprouts with pork belly and the fried plantains. We enjoyed them both. Last we got two tacos to share. You should always be able to order a single taco. The first was the pork which was generously filled. The second was something I had never seen before. They took a jalapeño and stuffed it with shrimp. It was wild, but so so good. I highly recommend getting that. Maybe get three. The service was friendly and the space is nice. It is a small dining room but they do take reservations and you can eat outside in nice weather (it was raining today). Bottom line: we'll worth a visit.

    Octopus Taco, Cochinita Taco, Al Pastor Taco
    Catherine W.

    Had a very enjoyable dinner on their back patio. It was lit up and had a great summertime casual ambiance. Waitress was very friendly. All of us in the party had tacos - I had the pulpo, al pastor, and cochinitas (roasted pork). All very good but I liked the pulpo one the best but probably because it included pork belly inside too! Delicious and authentic. We also liked the guacamole a lot. I also enjoyed the blueberry mint lemonade. One of my friends ordered the ceviche - note it is a Mexican take on ceviche and so a little different than anyone who is more accustomed to Peruvian style. I had called in advance and learned that there are only 2 spots for their restaurant in their back parking lot (which otherwise seems spacious). So the best place to park is in the Chestnut St lot which was free after 6pm on the weekday I visited. Would definitely come again!

    Tacos, pina colada, plantains
    Josh W.

    6 tacos, fried plantains, and a pina colada will always make me happy! They were all extremely flavorful and unique! (Not pictured are the homemade chips and salsa that were gone before the camera could be taken out) this spot is in a great area to walk around in and is definitely worth a try!

    Wern O.

    TLDR: more upscale Mexican in a cool interior Loved the big circular velvet booths and glitzy seats. Food was excellent as well. I really enjoyed my mezcal flight and getting grasshoppers as a palette cleanser was a first. Would definitely recommend this place!

Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I ordered an Old-Fashioned and my companion a glass of chardonnay, both of which came promptly and were enjoyable. After some inquiries I settled on the self-advertised fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. My companion asked about a favorite no longer on the menu, a salad with grilled chicken, and after checking with the kitchen our server was happy to report it could be ordered. My companion asked for dressing on the side and unfortunatel the salad came out dressed. Our server was happy to return it to the kitchen and it came out after not too much time had elapsed, the way she'd ordered it. I'm always skeptical that ribs will be fall-off-the-bone but these were close. Unfortunately, they seemed a little off; I still can't decide if they were on the dry side, lacking in flavor, or both. But the meat did come off the bone easily, so there was that. They came with french fries which were good, The location is handy and there is on-site parking. The atmosphere was energetic and it must be a popular after-work place because there were several large (10+) tables occupied. Still, not sure I would go back soon when there are other comparable places in the area.

Great place for a quick bite, after work meet/up (or even a romantic dinner if you reserve the high table near the fireplace). Waitress was very nice and attentive. Great cocktail & wine selection. Crab stuffed shrimp and an entree is plenty for 1 person. Rib eye was phenomenal. Sauce wasn't needed. Crab cakes were just ok. I didn't understand the chip like flakes that were added on top.

I am by no means an Indian food connoisseur, but I was glad to see a variety of more typical dishes like butter chicken, to dosas (gluten free!), idly, and specialty dishes from different regions. They were also able to accommodate a number of dietary restrictions in our group (gluten and dairy free, nut free, vegetarian, vegan), so it was a win all around. For my family, I ordered the sambar vada (gluten free lentil fritters), palak paneer (spinach and paneer cheese), Kerala fish pollichatthu. The fritters were a hit with the little one and came with a tangy sauce (sambar). The palak paneer was a very good version of this classic dish. The Kerala fish entree was my "why not" dish, mostly chosen since I know some folks from Kerala. They weren't around to give me the heads up that it would be a whole small fish cooked in banana leaves, though. I was a little surprised, but it was rather tasty, even if there amount of meat was a bit limited. I'll need to include them in my regular takeout roster in the future, and I'd love to dine in sometime too. The interior looks gorgeous from the pictures.
