This place lives up to the hype - the corn tortillas are tasty and a bit fluffy, but structured enough to hold up to all the taco toppings and not fall apart. A lot of places double up on the tortillas for this reason, but no need here. We ordered the birria, carnitas, and cabeza tacos, chicken sopes, beans, rice, sweet plantains, sweet rice pudding and horchata. Standouts were the carnitas and cabeza for me - very delicious in their simplicity, the meat is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Birria was also very good but overhyped IMO (novelty factor). The chicken sopes were way bigger than expected, could easily be a meal on its own and the masa tart was pretty good. Our table liked the green sauce to add zip to the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very sunny when we went, so it was blinding and hot to be sitting inside, hope they install a shade at some point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They seem to only serve in takeout containers, so eating at a table requires getting a bit creative for a "plate" etc.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a small lot behind the building and street parking is pretty easy. I will definitely be returning to try the lengua and more things next time! read more

Have had this place on my list to try and it is a must! SO delicious. I cannot wait to go again and try more! We got the carne asade and chicken taco especial, the hibiscus tea, and churros! The tacos were delish! I usually opt for flour tortillas, however they make their corn tortillas and they are the soft ones, so I wanted to try it as it comes - I was not disappointed! The tacos come in 4 to a meal, so we so split two and two. Naturally, I prefer steak but both the chicken and steak were phenomenal. Lots of flavor!! The taco especial, has onions and cilantro and a nice lime squeeze on the side that is a nice flavor burst and addition. If you want the lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc. then you want the americano version. The tacos come with two sauces, both of which were spicy but you can tell were made/fresh! But that hibiscus tea - wow!! So delish! It was sweet and flavorful and a sip of freshness!! The churros were also incredible. Not that I didn't think I'd like the dulce de leche filling but it was um-yes yum! The outside was nice and crispy obv coated in cinnamon and sugar and then the inside was soft and doughy but not raw dough, just perfection. The dipping sauce was excellent too - they could provide a little bit more of it but we made it work. Anyways, highly recommend. It's fresh and authentic- clearly homemade with good ingredients!! Can't wait to try more from the menu! read more

Let me first start off this review by telling you I RAN to this spot once I heard about it through my friend. And let me tell you, SO FIRE. Best birria tacos in Massachusetts!!! I seriously cannot stop raving about this place Both the Boston/Greater Boston area is seriously lacking in amazing tacos/birria tacos when comparing what I can get in the West Coast/NYC. I am so happy I found this spot, and so I can now get my fix in the Greater Boston area! First off, the service is amazing. Considering they had a lot of orders on a Saturday night, they got our orders out pretty quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Coming here we didn't know that it was a takeout only restaurant and so we asked them if we could sit on their bench seating in the corner of the restaurant and they said we were welcome to eat there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In addition, it was my friend's birthday and halfway through the meal they gave us a complementary flan which was so sweet of them! As for the food itself, like WOW! I seriously cannot stop raving about this spot and have been thinking about it every day since I went. I tried both their birria tacos and the carnitas, al pastor, and lengua (beef tongue) tacos which were all overflowing with how much meat was inside. Never seen such big chunks of lengua at a restaurant! I just wish the tacos had a 2nd layer of tortilla so I could catch the overfilled meat in another tortilla shell! The birria tacos had a great cheese pull, and it also comes with consume (we ordered extra, in which it was only an additional $0.50 for 2 extra sauce containers worth of consume). Packed with so much flavor, the right amount of crunch, meat, and juice. The horchata was also great too! Great price at $3 for a small as shown in the photo, and it was a little sweet (but I have a sweet tooth so it was perfect) and just enough cinnamon. Once you see this review, drop everything and come eat here!! I seriously hope the restaurant sees this review and sees how much I enjoyed coming here What we ordered: - Birria Tacos Set - Carnitas Taco Tradicionales - Al Pastor Taco Tradicionales - Lengua (Beef Tongue) Taco Tradicionales - Horchata read more

What is a hole in the wall? IDK but DEFINITELY TRY THIS PLACE OUT. THE BEST BIRRIA TACOS in the town!!! Or district!!! Ever!!! Four BIG, JUICY, CHEESY, STUFFED TACOS you can ever find in the area! The birria meat was so juicy and tender and the color on the tacos is just perfect, giving it a slight kick of heat. I also think they used real Oaxaca cheese here which makes the tacos 10xxx better! I only wished they gave more consome but I'm sure if I asked they would give me more because I want to drink it. Its so good. Definitely come try their birria tacos! This is my hidden secret don't make them raise their prices thnx read more

Really happy we stumbled upon this take out spot!! It was delicious and lots of bang for your buck. I got the small chicken quesadilla and was pleasantly surprised by the nice flavor to the chicken and the crispiness of the tortilla after traveling about 8 minutes home. My husband got the chicken burrito and said it was delicious but would benefit from a sauce! We got chips and salsa and the chips were freshly made; could use a little more salt. The salsa was delicious. Nice little hole in the wall spot that we'll definitely order from again! read more

Once you find this little gem, you'll crave their food for good reason. If it's a Sunday, order the nachos. Have a crowd? One nachos order is likely enough for all of them! The birrillas tacos especiales are incredibly flavorful and delightful. The 4 tacos per order are stuffed with marinated steak, cheese, and some veggies. It was a delight, especially paired with the sauce for pouring over or dipping. The nachos are OMG big and yummy! It fills a mid size pizza box, and that is how it is served. The carnitas is generous and delicious. We got four meals out of one box. Seriously. The rice and beans were tasty, and were used for an order minimum as they do run specials on their website. They also offer a 5% cash discount. We got a free churro, and wow! That's what a churro is supposed to taste like. Definitely more flavor and better texture than the frozen or fast food style. The restaurant is takeout only and small. It's a cute space with a few parking spots immediately out front. Enjoy now-thank me later! Enjoy! read more

We heard this new Mexican place opened where The Spot used to be. Just dined in last night. The staff were amazing, seniors get a 10% discount, 5% if you use cash but......this review is about the flavors. The Birria Tacos had a slow-cooked beef and umami flavor that tantalized my senses, especially mixed with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Dipping sauce completed the party in my mouth. Wow!! Spouse scarfed the chicken tacos! The chips and salsa are a must! The flan we dove into and didn't stop until the bowl was licked clean. Everything is fresh and homemade. We'll be back! read more

The best birria taco I've ever had! Unreal. My husband really wanted to try the birria burrito. He said it was really good, but obviously had a lot going on. We tried the rice and beans, and the plantains as well. Both amazing! I got my kids a burrito bowl and they loved it. I can't wait to try other things the next time! They had a small lot and super nice help at the register. read more

Been here a few times and tastes great but lately the chicken has been undercooked or raw in the tacos. Super dangerous!

Ordered for 4 people online for delivery - food never came!! Driver updated the app to say it was delivered 90 minutes after order! Shameful. read more

Wow wow wowwww! I've never tried birria tacos before this place, but I'm officially hooked. My friend and I ordered steak tacos & birria tacos to-go and immensely enjoyed our delicious night in. We did ask for sour cream on the side, so combining that with the drippings of the birria tacos was like a bite of creamy, salty, flavorful heaven. That sauce is insane!! The crunch of the taco itself, the melted cheese inside, and the flavorful meat was a perfect combo. The steak tacos were also amazing. The tortillas were a little smaller than I was expecting, but the flavors were on point. The meat was super tasty, and I liked that it already came in a 4 count so it's easy to split. My friend orders take-out often and I'm so happy she ordered it on my visit! read more

Ordered takeout, food was fresh, hot and very good except for that both my husband and I felt that it had a lot of unnecessary salt and/orpepper. chicken bowl - loaded with chicken, appropriate amount of rice and beans, salad was fresh, definitely should have had either guacamole or avocado, and a little more spice, but not salt or pepper! Suggest less chicken and avocado or guacamole. Carne Asada burrito-excellent, but again way too much salt and/or pepper. Perfect amount of meat and vegetables. This was my first time trying this restaurant so hoping that maybe this was a fluke, will try it again and ask for no added salt or pepper. Would recommend! read more

This place has some of the best tacos I've had anywhere, and I grew up in Texas. It's very simple, they serve tacos in freshly made corn tortillas. They don't do anything else. And that's a good thing, because they nail the essentials. And they were able to hold the cilantro, which is always a plus in my book. There's nowhere to sit, and eat, but service was quick and efficient and I got my tacos within a few minutes of ordering. Skip the other taco options nearby and just go here. read more

Absolutely a cut above every other taco outfit around. The Birra tacos are probably the best we've ever had. You can taste all the subtle flavors in the Birra sauce you wouldn't expect, satisfying crunch and super fresh ingredients. Amazing. read more

Wanted to try this place as it had good reviews on yelp and Uber eats - got the 4 chicken tacos. I open up the container excited to try these and see barely good chicken that is stuck together. I got a side job of rice and it was crispy and dry. Pretty disappointing overall, I had to throw it all out. read more

GREAT tacos, and you don't even have to add the "for Massachusetts" qualifier. Legitimately very very good. Corn tortillas made to order make a big difference. Highly recommend! Everything I've tried has been great but definitely try the birria tacos at least once. read more

I did a walk in order, from the comments it was the best decision but it actually wasn't. It was a long wait and they got my order wrong. A simple order (burrito chips and salsa) I got a cup of rice and a burrito instead. Also, I may be biased because I am Mexican but the burrito was highly disappointed, no sauce in it and the meat was unseasoned and nothing but fat. Based on the comments anything you can see like tacos is probably a better choice but don't waste your time on the burritos. read more

Really excited to have had an appointment in the area that brought me to this taco shop! I lived in San Diego for 6 years and have cravings for good tacos. I got cabeza, al pastor, and lengua, and was really happy with the taste and freshness of the ingredients. Tacos were a bit small but they were packed with fillings. The texture of the tortillas was a bit different but really enjoyed it as they held up to the taco fillings. Definitely homemade. Thanks for a great meal and I look forward to coming back to try the birria! read more

After reading all of the great reviews online, I decided to try out Plazita tonight for the first time. I ordered the carne asada tacos with a side of rice. The tacos were the best I've ever had! Looking forward to trying out the birria tacos next time I order. A lot of great posts about them. Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

I'm new to the Boston area and so thankful that I found this place. The steak tacos, Birria burrito and churros are so delicious. I'm guessing the chips are either baked or deep fried (to perfection) -- and the Jamaica (Hibiscus) iced tea is so damn good. I've only ordered takeout so far but I'll definitely be swinging by once it's warmer out, because I can only imagine how good their food is straight out the kitchen. 10/10, must go to place for Mexican tacos. Delicious! read more

OMG was in the area and googled "Mexican food near me" Boy am I glad I found this place. I went in and had to try their Carnita Tacos along with rice and beans. One bite of the rice and beans and I was in heaven,truly authentic! This place is a gem! The carnitas were sooo good with the white onion,cilantro and both green and red sauces to try. The young woman that took my order was so nice. I had never been here before and had forgot to think about a beverage and then also decided on trying their Flan. No problem she was so understanding and pleasant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very small place really just take out so be aware as I thought I would be able to sit in and eat my lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I see now they've only been open for a year but honestly if they keep this up they'll be expanding to a "dine in" restaurant before too long, their food is that amazing! Bravo, and Thank you to you all ....I'll definitely be back! :) read more
