Taco Bell

Randomly found this place while walking to the North End. It was super busy inside, almost didn't…read morefind a seat. Their menu had a lot of classics, including tortas. A lot of people seemed to be getting the tacos or a torta. I got the steak quesadilla and it was fresh, only thing was it was a little cold and portion was a little small. I liked the pico inside it added good flavors, and the steak was good but it tasted more like a ground beef. My boyfriend got the plate with carnitas, he really enjoyed it. I wish I tried a torta as it looked really good, but next time! They also have locations in other cities--there's one in Medford too. They also do takeout and had a lot of people in and out picking up orders.

After a disappointing experience and a returned dish at another restaurant, I was looking for…read moresomething comforting, nourishing, and satisfying. Yelp pointed me to this small (nothing fancy) Mexican spot, and on a rainy Sunday evening it felt like exactly the right choice. The "tucked -in" restaurant was quiet and welcoming. I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, and they absolutely hit the spot. The flavors were fresh, vibrant, and well-balanced, making for a hearty and satisfying meal. My only criticism--and it's a significant one for me--is the use of aluminum serving containers. I realize some restaurants still use them, but I personally don't think food should be served in direct contact with aluminum in 2026 when so many other options are available. It was a noticeable disappointment and detracted a bit from an otherwise yummy experience.

Taquería Jalisco is a casual Mexican restaurant in East Boston specializing in traditional…read morestreet-style tacos, tortas, tamales, and dishes inspired by the flavors of Jalisco. We walked into a small, unassuming space where the focus is squarely on freshly prepared food made with bold, authentic flavors. The dining room is modest and functional, with a counter and a handful of tables that give it the feel of a neighborhood taquería rather than a sit-down restaurant. The energy is practical and welcoming, with the open kitchen allowing us to see the tortillas being pressed and the meats being grilled fresh behind the counter. The birria tacos are the signature order and the dish that defines the menu. We ordered a few and found the tortillas crisped up on the griddle, the beef tender and well seasoned, and the rich consommé served on the side for dipping. The combination of the savory meat, the crispy tortilla, and the deep, slightly smoky broth made each bite feel layered and complete. Other standouts include the adobada tacos, which had a good char and a subtle spice that built gradually, and the lengua torta, with tender tongue layered between a soft roll and topped with fresh ingredients. The pozole was hearty and comforting, with a broth that carried the flavor of the hominy and meat without being overly heavy. The tamales, chicken flautas, and well-seasoned rice and beans rounded out the menu, each arriving hot and freshly made. The pickled onions and house salsas added extra flavor, and the horchata was a popular choice to pair with the meal, its cinnamon sweetness cutting through the richness of the dishes. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant maintained a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Despite its modest size, the kitchen moved efficiently, making it a reliable option for both dine-in and takeout. The staff checked in at the right moments and kept the pacing of the meal comfortable, ensuring that even when the small dining room filled up, the experience stayed smooth. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in the Boston area, Taquería Jalisco stands out for its consistently flavorful cooking, generous portions, and menu built around classic recipes rather than modern interpretations. It is the kind of place where the food speaks for itself, and the simplicity of the setting only adds to the sense that you are eating something made with care and tradition.

I was eager to try a variety of tacos, though I was warned the tacos are quite small. It was a fair warning. I ordered 5 tacos, and expected to leave stuffed, but I was hungry again by 4:00pm. Eeeek. These are 3-bite tacos. Although small, I enjoyed the flavors of all the tacos I tasted. My favorites were the seafood varieties. 1) Baja fish - really crispy batter, creamy, spicy slaw 2) Yucatán shrimp - great texture, and spicy bean-like plantain puree. The pork belly was sweet, but a bit dry. In addition to the picked red onions, it could have used another saucy component. The carnitas and chorizo tacos were also good, but were less interesting for my palate. My five tacos were $20, without any sides or drinks.

We walked into a space that feels efficient and functional, with a counter setup where you can watch your sandwich being assembled in front of you. The atmosphere is casual and no-fuss, the kind of place where the focus stays on getting the order right rather than creating a dining destination. The Italian-style sandwiches are the main attraction here. The Hot Italian and Club Sub stand out as some of the more memorable menu options, and ordering a sandwich Mike's Way remains one of the most popular approaches. The combination of fresh-sliced meats, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil, vinegar, and seasonings creates the classic flavor profile the chain is known for. Several menu combinations pair particularly well with the rosemary parmesan bread, which adds extra flavor compared to the standard white roll. The bread itself holds up well against the fillings without getting soggy, and the ingredients are layered in a way that keeps the sandwich balanced from first bite to last. The overall food quality is strongest when orders are prepared correctly. The ingredients generally feel fresh, and the sandwiches deliver the hearty, made-to-order experience people expect from Jersey Mike's. Side items such as chips and pickles round out the meal without overcomplicating the menu, offering a straightforward complement to the main order. Service can be somewhat inconsistent depending on timing. Staff members are friendly and accommodating, and when the store is running smoothly, the experience is quick and pleasant. At the same time, the restaurant appears to experience growing pains during busy periods, particularly with online and pickup orders. Longer-than-expected waits and occasional order mix-ups account for many of the less favorable experiences. The team handles the volume as best they can, but the flow can get backed up when multiple orders stack up. For those visiting during off-peak hours, the experience tends to feel much smoother. The restaurant works best as a quick stop for a freshly made sub rather than a rushed pickup during a busy lunch or dinner rush. The sandwich quality holds up consistently, but the operational side can be the variable that determines whether the visit feels seamless or slightly frustrating. While operational consistency remains an area that could improve, the sandwiches themselves are what continue to bring people back and remain the strongest reason to visit. Jersey Mike's delivers a solid, satisfying sub that feels more substantial than the typical chain sandwich, and when everything comes together, it is easy to see why it has built the following it has.
