A great late night Mexican restaurant! Not too late though, we strolled in 10 minutes before closing so we had to order quick. Luckily the staff was nice and helpful with us to make sure we got our order in before the kitchen closed. We just wanted a quick taco and some chips & salsa. That's exactly what we got and it was so delicious late at night. read more

I really liked this place. The atmosphere was awesome and I loved all the artwork on the walls. My favorite was the one showing you how to properly eat a taco It was actually really helpful but also funny. The tacos were good, but honestly... the fresh salsa completely stole the show. They had literally just made it and it came out warm and fresh. I'm a sucker for homemade salsa and this was some of the best I've ever had. The tortilla chips were amazing too. My only complaint is the seating. I get they were going for a certain vibe, but the tables and chairs just weren't very comfortable. Being on Newbury Street, I'd love to see a little more comfortable seating because I'd definitely want to hang out longer. Other than that, I'd absolutely go back, especially for that salsa! read more

Worst tacos I've ever had. Got carne asada and a fish taco. Both were topped with stale lettuce and chopped tomatoes with no flavor, and no sauce for the fish whatsoever. Carne asada and fish were overcooked and dry. Fish wasn't even really breaded and was clearly cooked in old oil. Tortillas weren't even heated up so they were cold and split in half when you folded them. Whatever sauce they had for the chips was disgusting - some kind of cheese salsa. No tap water either! Only bottle water. I did not finish my food and spit it out. Place is so bad I got to leave a review. read more

Amazing skinny margs and $6 tacos.. very authentic and lovely staff. Don't hesitate..

This place had some authentic food with an amazing owner that was so kind to me! I got the burrito bowl and an horchata (not photographed). The horchata was spot on with the right amount of cinnamon flavor and creaminess while the burrito bowl was fresh. I love how it came with guacamole. The portions are definitely a highlight! read more

This place is the real deal! Hands down the best/ authentic Mexican Food I've ever had at n Boston. This is my 3rd time going there and each time it only gets better. First 2 times I ordered Carne Asada Burrito. Totally the best I've had in a decade, and best ever in Boston. Today I came in and ordered a custom burrito, I was met with a huge smile ear to ear by Pedro when I placed my order. He knew based on what I ordered I know the authentic picks. We struck up a small conversation in mixed Spanish/English. He was an amazing server and got my food and was absolutely blown away. I can't recommend this place enough. Their prices are on point for the fact they are located on Newbury St. read more

La Neta - Amazing portions - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I took my daughter on a quick trip to Newbury Street in Boston and we found this little hole in the wall taco shop. Our server was awesome - he was so good to my 4 year old who is certainly going through a shy phase. He gave her some candy to go along with her meal and was super friendly. We just wanted to make a quick stop, so I just ordered 2 tacos - 1 Barbacoa and 1 Chicken... if I remember correctly. What I do remember is both of them were very good - super flavorful with perfectly cooked tortillas. My daughter got a shredded beef taco with cheese, and that was also really good (she didn't finish hers, so I did the honors). If you're looking for a quick stop for tacos while walking through Newbury, I'd definitely recommend this place. Fast, friendly, and good food! read more

Decent spot to stop at when you're shopping. The chips and salsa were quite addicting and they are generous with guacamole! The horchata was pretty good too. Food is nothing to write home about but overall I did have a good filling meal! Cramped space with not much seating (especially winter with no outdoor seating). read more

I visited La Neta on a Sunday evening around 6pm and it wasn't too packed. Located on Newbury St., I wasn't looking to wait in any lines and just wanted to grab a simple dinner to-go. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos ($6 each). The service was quite fast and my order was ready in under 10 minutes. The employees were quite nice as well. I really enjoyed my taco and it was the perfect size to sate my appetite. Overall, a nice place to go for a casual, quick bite to eat. read more

La Neta - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Had come back after a good experience a few years ago. Was super regretful unfortunately. Ordered a corona, they were all out so we had to get a corona light and it did not come with a lime (big bummer). Then when I went to get a water they only offer bottled. So not only is it bad for the environment, it's just a money making scheme so I don't love that. I ordered a coke and was expecting Mexican coke from a Mexican restaurant but was disappointed when I was brought out a standard can. The complimentary dip was not very good and queso dip was a bad version of nacho cheese. The churros were the only redeeming quality of the evening however half of them were hollow inside. Such a bummer because I really enjoyed this place prior read more

If you want a quick and affordable lunch on Newbury St, La Neta is a solid option. Despite declaring occupancy in just a small room, seating is adequate and the decor is vibrant. The service was exceptional, especially for how small the restaurant was. The staff is very friendly and are happy to answer any questions regarding the menu. I didn't expect to be served as most burrito joints have the self-serve routine going on, so this was a pleasant surprise! As for the food, I've definitely had better burritos, but because of how good the service was it almost made it seem like it tasted better. I liiiiike this psychology. I went for the classic chicken burrito, and the ingredients were all very fresh, though it was a bit on the dry side (specifically the chicken). The complimentary chips and yellow salsa were pretty good, and I liked the heat from the salsa. The portions are also very good for the price, which bumps up the value in my book. We finished lunch off with a slice of Tres Leches cake (my first time trying it), and it was amazing! Pretty reasonable price wise and not overwhelming sweet for the sugar content. read more

La Neta is my favorite restaurant in Boston. The food is to die for - every time I go, I'm blown away. I always order the tacos, and my go to are the pollo, birria, and carne asada tacos. The flavor is always perfect and the food tastes so fresh. Something I also really love about this place is that you order each piece individually, so you can mix and match. The vibe of the restaurant is also so cute - I just wish it was a bit bigger, because it's so popular and can get super crowded! The staff are very friendly, and the food comes out quite quick. La Neta is always the first restaurant I take anyone visiting Boston to, and I 100% recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food. read more

Walking on Newbury St in the rain and we ducked into La Neta for a quick bite. I absolutely loved the Mezcal-Rita - they even made it spicy for me with a jalapeño and tajin on the rim. The complimentary chips and salsa were very good. Kids liked the Birria and fish tacos. Would definitely come back to try some of their other cocktails. Impressive tequila and mezcal collection on the wall. Quirky, fun decor. read more

Yummy tacos right in the middle of Newbury, so a great reprieve from the overpriced patio experiences on Newbury. $6 tacos and horchata? Definitely a vibe when you're starving from shopping / window shopping. It's not mind blowing but they do have horchata which is so hard to find at most Mexican restaurants in the area - so major points for that! read more

The tacos are amazing, great flavor and a good variety to pick from, they may be a little pricey but worth the taste. Service is good and so are the vibes. read more

Stopped in here for a couple tacos on a long day out, and they were good! The chips and salsa were to die for, the salsa was unique and seemed to have corn in it. The tacos were good, Barbacoa flavoring was interesting and not my favorite...seemed like there was an added spice that I wasn't expecting. I would definitely come back, because it was reasonably priced for good quality tacos! The service was mediocre, but it was a slightly busy day out on Newbury. read more

Terribly dry and insipid chicken taco. Only things that were okay were the accompanied pico de gallo and guacamole sauce. Behind the register you can see all the cooks putting the ingredients together and I saw one reach for their phone with the gloves on, then back to making food without changing gloves. Cell phones are full of bacteria. Anyway would've ignored the rest of the food was good but it was not. Also 4$ for a can of coke ?! read more

La Neta - Chicken taco 6$. Not pictured can of diet coke .. 4$ !? Pulled chicken is barely seasoned. Veggies are fresh . - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Didn't particularly enjoy your experience here. The menu offers decent options, both for food and drink, and there are a couple of vegetarian options parentheses which are all grilled vegetable based). The service, overall was pretty subpar. Our waiter took a while to take our order and seem to have a really difficult time taking our order even though we were ordering off the menu with no substitutions. The food did come out quickly but didn't come with any napkins or silverware (which we had to ask for after some time). Then, it took a while for us to get the check before leaving. We got the nachos which had really fresh and delicious tortilla chips, but the toppings were pretty sparse and the cheese felt like it could've come out of a can. we probably won't be back. P.s. there are tortilla chips and salsa for the table which is always a perk read more

Both the wait to enter the restaurant and the wait to get our food was very long. They offered no tap water, only bottled water priced at 2 dollars. We were then overcharged for 3 water bottles when we only ordered and received 1 bottle. The tacos themselves were good but underwhelming compared to the price and the service was good, but the reasons above made the overall experience very unpleasant. read more

La Neta - FISH TACO and QUESA-BIRRIA - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Atmosphere: both indoor and outdoor seating available. The service was good considering it's on a busy part of Newbury -- we were seated pretty much immediately upon arrival. But they didn't give us napkins until we explicitly asked for them. Food: Considering my 2 tacos ended up being $15 with tax and tip included, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of flavor. The food also got cold pretty fast. By the time I was halfway through my first taco it'd already turned cold. The birria was a bit underwhelming and the taco skin fell apart in my hands immediately upon contact. read more

La Neta - burria taco, steak quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We started with drinks: a passion fruit mojito and two margaritas with salt. They were decent but didn't quite hit the mark. For food, we ordered tacos and an Al Pastor burrito. The tacos were alright, but the burrito was disappointing. Though the meat was tender, the seasoning lacked depth, the rice was hard and flavorless, and the guacamole was bland. Thankfully, the churros were a nice surprise - perfectly crispy and sweet. Overall, not worth the price, but at least we ended on a good note with dessert. read more

The Larenzo taco was my favorite! The other 2 tacos was good! The gac was okay, and the cheese dip taste like movie theater cheese. Personally, that's not a bad thing, but for $6 I can honestly say I will go back there again! I want to try the other tacos, and see what the cocktails is talking about! P.S. there's no Taco Tuesday special, maybe one day in the future read more

La Neta - CHILAQUILES - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

If you're looking for a quick Mexican meal with a margarita on Newbury that won't have a wait, this place is for you. However, we thought the food was underwhelming. I frankly have had better, cheaper food at Chipotle. We didn't go into the restaurant, but the atmosphere sitting outside on Newbury was excellent, which is why I'm giving this three stars. It has good people watching, and I've never seen someone wait for a table. The tacos were fine, the meat was reasonably seasoned, but they overbaked the tortillas. The avocado and corn salad was average, the flavors and ingredients didn't really meld together. What was surprising is that they don't have tap water! It was bottled water only which I found off-putting. read more

Loved the vibes inside the restaurant and the drinks were phenomenal. We called just 15mins yes before arriving and we were seated without issues. We were a party of 6 and it was good we came a little early cause the restaurant got fully packed an hour in. The service was good and I really wanted to love this restaurant more but the food was a little bland. Particularly disappointed with the birria as the broth for it was also quite tasteless. Burrito was a little better maybe because there were more stuff inside. Would probably come back for the margaritas and their burrito but will skip the tacos next time. read more

Dined in here several times after shopping on Newbury- we enjoyed their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, chips and salsa. Ambiance is casual and cheerfully decorated. Wait staff can be a bit distant especially when it's busy, but generally the service is efficient. That said, when we ordered delivery, they missed our $14 chips and guac Big sad!!! read more

This spot has a great outdoor seating area on newbury street. When the sun is shining and it's warm, it is a very fun looking spot. The staff were quite nice and got me seated pretty quickly. They have a nice contactless menu and I was able to pay quickly as well on a card swipe they brought to my table which was nice. I got the chips and salsa to start with. The salsa was quite interesting, it was on the more watery side of salsa with little to no chunks of anything in it. It was quite mild on the spice level as well. It was good but don't think I would get it aga I got the al pastor, caramelo and chorizo tacos. The al pastor was really flavorful. The meat was very well seasoned and the tomato and guacamole on it went well with every bite. The caramelo taco was alright. I was expecting it to be cheesier but the beef did go well with everything else added to the taco. The chorizo taco is one I don't think I'd get again. The meat itself didn't seem that flavorful compared to other chorizos I've had and the toppings were not as complimentary as the other two. I might come here again if the weather is nice out and there is no wait but I think I would only get the al pastor again and try two different tacos when I do. read more

Really disappointing. We ordered their "queso" and it turned out to be the nacho cheese you get when you buy "nacho" lunchables... a complete disgrace to Mexican cuisine. I ordered the Lorenza taco and it was just alright. Nothing special. My friend ordered barbacoa burrito and she rated it 4/10. My other friend ordered barbacoa tacos and would rate it 3/10. Waaay too much meat. And $5 per taco!? Not good. Do better La Neta read more
