We came across this taqueria when we wanted to escape the rain. Originally we thought is was small fast food restaurant but we discovered it had a secret! The taqueria staff were fast in their service and the restaurant was dark with a few booths and tables. The food was decent. The surprise was a door that led to speakeasy. We didn't venture in but might make a return trip the next time we are in Boston. read more

I was starving and really needed some food, but I had pretty low expectations. Being from Texas, I've always felt like Mexican food anywhere else just doesn't compare--especially in a place like Boston. But this spot completely surprised me. The quesabirria tacos were *fire*--honestly some of the best tacos I've had in a while. On top of that, I even got a free side of chips and guacamole, and both were fresh and delicious. The only downside was the portion size--the tacos were a small for the price. Because of that, I'm giving it 4 stars, but overall it definitely exceeded my expectations. read more

Wow!!!! Borrachito doesn't disappoint! This time I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken Tinga burrito, and I'm so glad I did! I added cheese cause I think every burrito should have it. The dill sauce was a fun flavor to try and the fajita veggies really hit the spot. I also drizzled jalapeño hot sauce on every bite! My hubby ordered the bang bang shrimp burrito and of course he loved it. His exact words "we should go there more often." We paired our burritos with a Mexican coke! The service was amazing! We ordered on our walk and it was ready in 5 minutes!!! They're def on top of it. The cashier was friendly and the vibe was def there....let's just say Bad Bunny was playing. I def recommend this place, and can't wait to be back! read more

Good drinks, super cute vibes. We need more spots like this in Boston. I came here on a Friday night after an event in seaport - DJ was great and the crowd was cute. We sat down at a table first for drinks - the waitress was great and made sure to check on us. Then we hit the dance floor! read more

Wow! Had the chicken tacos and some chips with Guac. Super tasty tacos for sure, my wife and daughter had no complaints either. Small looking grab and go place, however there is a secret speakeasy behind the walk in cooler door which double during the day as extra seating. Quick service and spotless tables. read more

This is the only place we tried while visiting Boston that we genuinely did not enjoy. The service was good and the place itself is laid back and cute, but the tacos were not good :( I tried a carnitas taco and it was so vinegary that I had to double check I had ordered the correct thing. I had a churro that was good! read more

I'm ngl it was just a solid meal, nothing tooooo good but A good eat! The street corn though, WOW. delicious. the appetizers shine at this place. later on i tried to visit with another group and was bounced ً we were not trying to visit the bar. only eat burritos. i was displeased. read more

We got a mix of tacos, the meats were not that flavorful neither was the guacamole. Average flavor profile. Not terrible but not as flavorful as we thought. A bit overpriced for average tacos. read more

This was such a chill and beautiful diner to visit during the day for lunch. I'd be curious to check out the separate speakeasy bar, but it doesn't open until the afternoon. The per peri broccoli tacos ($5 each) were surprisingly quite good! I was a bit skeptical of broccoli on tacos at first, but the sauce, flavors, and textures worked quite well, and I'd get it again. The staff member helping at the counter was friendly, and the food arrived in about 10 minutes. read more

A very cool place with great service, cute decor, fantastic drinks, and amazing food! I loved walking through the freezer door to get to the Speakeasy. The chips, salsa, and guac were very tasty and I loved the Al Pastor taco. The regular margarita was really outstanding. This place is a keeper and exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to going again soon! read more

OMG, I am so thankful for that place. I came into Boston pretty late and my coworker and I were in dire need of some food. We had walked around after going to Moxie's and finding out that the kitchen was closed. This was a hole in the wall! We went in and the place to order the food looked like such a cute diner. (There was also a "hidden door" to a club/party? haha I don't know, we didn't have the energy to check it out.) We decided on getting a (well-deserved drink), tacos, appetizer, and churro desserts. I got their mango margarita, which was pretty small for the price that we paid but hit the spot. We decided for appetizer, the Korean BBQ taquitos, and for the entrees - their Al Pastor, Yuzu Carne Asada, and Peking pork carnitas tacos. We thought that the taquitos were a bit greasy but the sauce and pickled radishes gave it the kick. Tacos were all good - but I think hunger may had taken a larger part of my judgement haha. The churros were a nice subtle finish - it was also served with chocolate and caramel sauce. Not bad for a late night meal! The server was nice and I think because it was late, there was plenty of tables to sit at. Would recommend when you have the late night munchies too! read more

If you like Tequila, you need to stop in here! It's like a speakeasy, you have to know to walk into a freezer! Once in this place is a small bar/restaurant. We just went in there for some drinks. I got a pour of the new G4 Reposato! The bar tender was pretty good. Cheers! read more

I Was a bit skeptical about this place. But I'm glad we decided to come in. The cashier was really nice and immediately made recommendations and told us what his favorites were. We went with the shrimp taco, carnitas taco and birria quesadilla special with consomé. Their jalapeño salsa (which you can serve yourself) was delicious and spicy. Being a Latina, I really enjoyed the Music. Apparently At 4pm they open up the fridge door which takes you to a bar in the back. Cashier mentioned it gets hopping in there. read more

Stopped in for a nightcap after the Buju Banton show. Press the not so secret button and the door opens to a comfortable speakeasy and you can vibe on a host of craft curated cocktails . A vast array of tequilas and draft beer. Check em out read more

Very bad experience. Even before having the opportunity to taste the bad quality food they served me (undercooked rice and lack of seasoning), I was almost insulted by a waiter because I asked for a fork and a knife... Unacceptable. read more

Ordered takeout twice so can't speak too much on service and ambiance. Vibes do look fun though and would be curios to checkout the drinks. The food left something to be desired. I liked the sound of all the menu items as they sound creative and delicious. However, the flavors are just missing / a little bland? and definitely not worth the price. For $6 a taco, there are too many places nearby that you can go for better. I'd go to America's favorite mexican bowl place to get more flavor and food for a cheaper price. read more

More like 3.5* but rounding up because I would return. Dropped by around 1030 on a Thursday. The door is obviously marked so it's not a true speakeasy in my opinion, but hits the concept having a normal taco shop up front. Theres plenty of seating, staff is fairly attentive, but I found the music to be too loud for me to want to stick around for long. I think the spot is better for a group outing! Cocktails: truth or pear (very spicy- did not realize that when I ordered) and saugatuck swizzle (decent, not much to say). Food: al pastor bowl (generous on the pork, but wasn't impressed by the rest) and crispy shrimp taco (lightly fried! Should have gotten a bowl of this. A bit spicy.) read more

I LOVE the speakeasy vibes of this place! Swung by with a friend and we shared chips and salsa, esquites - and then each got tacos! (I got the bang bang crispy shrimp) The tacos were a little small so I'd recommend getting a few (or share lots of apps) - but we had such a great time. Can't wait to come back! read more

The service at this location is flat out disrespectful. We came into the restaurant and were not greeted. At the register the clerk said hello and I began to order after I asked a question. In the middle of saying my order, he walked away from me without excusing himself to give a delivery driver an order. That is extremely rude and unacceptable. read more

Such a cool place. We only got take out. Didn't go to the cool speakeasy. Fun, friendly service. Bang bang shrimp tacos were amazing. The pork quesadillas were fire too. Huge servings of chops & guac. read more

We walked up to Borrachito Taqueria and thought we're being punk'd. We had a reservation and when we walked up saw an empty restaurant with a few tables in it. We both were so confused and didn't understand why we needed a reservation until we asked around and found out that it's actually a speakeasy. Once we finally found it, we got some drinks and appetizers. The drinks were AMAZING! I got the Cheeky Cape Day (Little Treat) that has prosecco, peach, elderflower, velvet falernum, and lemon. It was so refreshing. We also split the Esquites which is grilled corn, cotija, chipotle mayo and tajin. For tacos, I got the Bang Bang Crispy Shrimp with tempura, crispy garlic, mint, cilantro, onion, and bang bang sauce. It was so good. Definitely recommend and don't get confused by the appearance before the speakeasy. Thank you Marco for the amazing service read more

Food is so yummy, drinks are absolutely worth the commute, and staff is soooo nice. If it were slightly less expensive, I would definitely become a regular. As for recommendations, all the food dishes are yummy - I've never had anything less than delicious. Drink favorites are the emotional support strawberry and tequila based drinks. Mike is my favorite staff member. He's waited my table and has been my bartender from day 1. I don't think it was intentional but now I expect him! He's very knowledgeable about food and alcohol as well as just a great guy to chat with! For a "speakeasy" vibe, it's super well clean and definitely stays festive through the year and the different holidays. Highly recommend! read more

I give Daniel and the whole place 10X stars!! Crazy good fusion taco combos. Salsa spectaculario!! Fun as shit atmosphere, speakeasy adjacent with bartenders and 26 year old patrons that thought they knew more about tequila than my old ass. Lovely thru and thru. read more

It turned out the apps were better than the entrees. I recommend just going for drinks and app 'tapas'. The burritos, quesadillas, and tacos were too dry/ lacked flavor and no Queso was noticed on the Quesadillas as described. For some reason they can't do a bang bang shrimp quesadilla, and if you do get the shrimp know that it is pretty spicy. read more

What a cool little speak easy! The food was incredible, I had the steak and the shrimp tacos. Little on the expensive side though, especially $8 for some chips and salsa. Service was excellent and attentive! read more

Food was cold. No flavor. They also put a mayonnaise type sauce on a chicken taco. Felt like a scam - would not go back.

I was in town for a week, can't compare to any other similar spots in the area but, this place is solid!!! Good food, great flavors, great ambience. The first time, I tried the chicken, pastor and steak taco. I was surprised by the chicken, usually it tends to be the blandest taco, but this one was so tasty!! Second time, I had the carnitas, and chicken taco and I tried the walking taco. Tacos were super tasty, the Walking taco can use a bit of a kick, and more melted cheese, but they have sauces you can add. Would've loved to go back and get a drink at the speakeasy read more

Unassuming taco spot with a cool speakeasy behind the fridge! Taco tower (20 tacos with four protein choices) - the top level had guac and chips along with two types of salsa. Nashville hot tinga - the chicken was flavorful but not spicy. The biggest thing was it was a bit dry. Yuzu carne asada - the carne asada was tender but I couldn't taste the yuzu. Korean pork belly - pork belly was tender and flavorful! Bang bang shrimp - my favorite! The shrimp was crispy on the outside and had the fresh seafood crunch. The sauce had a nice kick to it! read more

Seaport's weakness? Late night bites and overpriced drinks. When it comes to the drinks there's not much leeway but Borrachito has the other! They are open everyday except Sunday until 2am. I do not know a single place that is open that late in the seaport for food & drinks... it's usually just people standing outside of the Grand hungry and trying to hit on you. They have the speakeasy part where you will need a reservation on saturday night but if you just want tacos and no frills you can sit in the front that is chill. Overall, not the best tacos but go because you are hungry and want something quick and easy during late hours.

Excellent experience. Our drinks were great (one with Brown butter and whiskey, the other with passion fruit and tequila). Food was fantastic too. Loved the peking pork carnitas bowl. Fajitas were great was well Ambience in the speakeasy back was amazing too! Just glad we found this place! read more

I was really impressed by the cocktail menu in the speakeasy section here! The drink options were very unique. I absolutely loved the "cheeky cape day" drink. It was delicious and nicely garnished. I also sipped the prickly pear margarita as well as the "Tammy got weird" and those were very good as well! I'd recommend going here before 8pm if you want a sit down experience. By 8:30pm (on a Saturday) it was already a standing-room only situation. read more

This is a fun spot for grabbing drinks, with good service at the bar. I've never dined in but I get takeout a LOT because the lemon chicken quesadilla and churros are just perfect. One of my favorite spots in the seaport. They do have private events a lot which makes it feel crowded but not a big deal. read more

Overall: I think the drinks here are top notch in terms of tropical flavors. The food is left way more to be desired. Food: we tried the chips and guac (lacked quite a bit of salt and lime taste). The churros needed a bit more cinnamon and sugar otherwise it was just dough. The taquitos were pretty decent with the crispy shell and the meaty interior. Drinks: the highlights were the drinks such as the guava margarita. While it could be just syrup ay least the flavor is there and evident. The espresso martini equivalent has a nice twist but not a huge fan of coffee. All the drinks are effectively a Hispanic rendition / twist on a classic. Even the pina colada equivalent had a twist! Ambience/Decor/Service: it's a speakeasy so imagine a darker cozier room but with an incredibly lively upbeat bar vibe. No you will not be able to hear the person next to you. Service was still incredibly quick with all the drinks and food though read more

A speakeasy in the back of the restaurant, going through a door that looks like a walk in freezer. This place is COOL. Like drinking a cocktail in here makes me feel like I'm living my best life. The clarified margarita (business class margarita) was by far the best cocktail of the group. We were able to easily be sat as a group of 5 in the afternoon on a Saturday. Paid Parking available in local parking garages, easy walking distance. Servers were very attentive and made good suggestions with ordering. If you get Marco as your server, consider yourself lucky! He's awesome! Very personable and provided excellent service! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Seaport!! read more

The food was amazing! Birria quesadillas and Birria tacos were excellent!! seriously some of the best Mexican food I've had. My daughter loved her chicken tinga burrito! The guacamole was so fresh as well! Had a horchata margarita that was excellent as well. No exaggeration, everything was delicious!! Daniel will hook you up. read more

Cool little place with speak easy vibes. A couple of coworkers and I popped in after a long day and (literally) squeezed into a booth with a tiny table. I ordered the Al pastor burrito bowl and a frozen mango margarita. It was yummy! One coworker got the loaded nachos and the Mikita Banana, which he thought was one of the best cocktails he's ever had. The other got a soup and a coup of Nashville Tonga tacos. He loved the soup and said it was the best meal he had in Chicago. Why wasn't it 5 stars? The table was a little sticky, and we were kind of sitting on top of one another. I should add the service was very good. I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time, otherwise you might wait a spell for a seat. read more

This is a cute concept of a speakeasy. We came on a friday night to get some drinks. I got a simple mojito, which was pretty standard. They were playing a lot of throwbacks and had tons of seating. On our way out we got some food to go. The Quesabirria Tacos were pretty good - the meat was still tender and juicy. The tortillas felt super soft and the consume was nicely spiced. read more
