Slappin' little taco stand in Worcester Public Market but carrying a big load of flavor! The menu's a little limited but that's okay cuz what they do, they do well. I had a trio of tacos: birria, carnitas, and chicken, folded into corn tortillas, laden with onion and cilantro. Very tasty, especially the birria and carnitas. The chicken was a little dry though still flavorful. I also had some black beans and Mexican rice on the side and they were good too. My wife had the no-meat veggie burrito and like it though she added a bit of salsa to it (needed muy heat). My daughters had the birria plate comprising 3 birria tacos, consommé for dipping/sipping, and salsa. Fun and fast eats! read more

I love this place! The food is so good and it's a fun environment too. Highly recommend the clasico burrito!

Honestly I generally supported this Taqueria del pueblo in public market. Today was the last time visiting and I wanted to tell them it was but it wasn't worth it. One day your food is served hot and the other its frozen cold. The service feels rushed and theirs no one behind me. I tipped 7 dollars for just a few tacos and they wanna ask for more money when they gave me the sauce and tacos last time paired. 1 star for feeling rushed and greed! read more

This place has its own restaurant and its own location in Worcester Public Market and I've tried both locations to say that the restaurant location is so much better than in the Market. The restaurant is super spacious and beautifully decorated inside and out. They are super welcoming and you feel like you're at home when you step inside. Carne Asada Plate - 8/10 Great portion size on the plate! I love all the different elements of the dish and especially the tortilla on the side is so fresh and warm. The carne asada itself was a little dry but great flavor. I enjoyed the grilled pepper as well. Birria Tacos - 8/10 It comes with 3 birria tacos and I believe you have to order the consome seperately. It is the same in both locations, they don't give you the consome. The taco itself is stuffed! Lots of meet and super flavorfuly. But again a bit dry. Carne Asada Tacos - 9/10 I think this is the best dish so far, the meat was so tender and flavorful. It is a simple taco but it tastes so good. Overall, great food and great ambiance in its original restaurant location. I love the vibes here, it is never too busy or crowded. Super great place to have fun with friends and family. read more

The birria is so flavorful and tender! I love the food here and at their other locations (Highland Street in Worcester and on Boltwood Walk in downtown Amherst). I like to get the birria torta and then save half of it for lunch the next day, as it is SO filling. Also the elote is perfect. In Amherst, they have fresh mango with elote seasoning on it - a great way to cap off a meal! They are a great family with a great family business. And now they are carrying SNAP bowls to help out struggling families during the shutdown. An amazing way to step up to help the community. read more

A few choices at the market but Taqueria was calling my name. I went with the Birria quesadilla. SMOTHERED in sour cream!! Talking my language. The meat was tender and delicious. Winning bites were dipping the quesadilla in their pico. I would suggest giving this a shot. read more

The host at taqueria del pueblo, Anthony was fantastic--welcoming, professional, and organized. he greeted us with a smile, managed the wait efficiently, and set the tone for a great dining experience. A great start to a wonderful evening! read more

We went to the location on Highland street (rather than the location in Worcester Public Market). The best Mexican place! I love how affordable everything is, and the portions are big too I ordered a birria torta and could only finish half of it! The cheese was melted and the beef was tender and juicy. My boyfriend got the birria tostados and he rated them a 4/5. The chips and salsa are sooo good, I didn't even get a chance to take a picture before we dug in! The salsa is mildly spicy yet flavorful. I prefer my chips to be thinner (these chips are rather thick) but they're still good. Finally, the horchata is perfectly sweet and refreshing. A must try if you come here. Service was quick, but that could be attributed to the fact that we were the only ones dining in. The Mexican decorations are beautiful and perfect for taking pictures. Overall, Probably one of the best Mexican places in Worcester! Highly recommend! read more

Located in the Worcester Market this place is worth the hype--even with the simplest menu. Parking seems to be better now since he honeymoon for the marketplace is over. They use to have a broader menu including tacos and such when they first opened in the marketplace but I guess they didn't do too well with them so they have removed it from their menu at this location. Birria, birria, birria. Birria quesadilla. Birria tacos. Birria tortas. Birria ramen. Yes... they got birria ramen. And Hot sauces... thats majority of the menu. Hot take right here but they got the best birria around. Also, gotta get the consome with the birria. Dealing with the parking here can be a headache but it seems to be better now and it's worth getting the birria goodness here. Cheerssssss read more

Highland St. Location. The tacos are so good! I got a carne asada, a chicken, and al pastor. I gotta say the chicken was kinda dry, but that's almost to be expected from chicken. The al pastor was out of this world. What I also need to say is that their salsa verde was honestly the best I've had in town. Super good. Service was average - but it seemed our server was new. I saw another server teaching her how to use the card machine and she apologized for taking so long for payment. It was all good. read more

Hands down one of our favorite places!!! great food! the staff seems helpful, although I think we throw them for a loop because we come in with a tribe (college kids and families) we tell them to take their time we realize we gave you a lot...but it does toss them a curve ball. The chips and salsa, queso, quac are fabulous! Kitchen just needs to make sure all the things are on the item asked for...my burrito was missing a few things....but still it was great! Nicely priced and very deceiving outside from inside! worth going to and will continue to come on by! Great choice for a quick bite! read more

First time trying this place and I loved it! We came close to closing so they had run out of one of the meats but that is to be expected and just meant I got to try a meat I wouldn't normally try! The service was great and she was very attentive! We got take out so experiences might be different if you eat in! Birria Tacos: The taco meat was very flavorful and the tacos themselves were really good. I would honestly come back for just the tacos but they weren't crispy at all the shell was honestly very soggy. Al Pastor Burrito: The flavor was good in the meat but it was a pretty average burrito. I think it was pretty big and worth the price but there wasn't anything special about it. Birria Dipping broth: It was thinner then I expected and didn't really have that much of a taste. When I dipped my tacos into it I didn't really notice any extra flavor. Birria Ramen: Honestly we got this not really knowing what to expect but we had such high expectations! We were kind of shocked seeing it was just a cup ramen which I assume is made with Birria broth instead of water. It did taste okay and there was an insane amount of meat inside but I don't think it was worth $13 and I wouldn't buy it again, probably only good for the novelty of trying a Birria ramen. (The meat was very good and flavorful but the ramen tasted mostly of tomato) Overall I would go back for the tacos and to try the other items on the menu. read more

If following GPS directions, you won't see a sign for this restaurant. It's inside the Worcester Public Market, which has a paid parking lot entrance on Harding Street. The burritos and the burrito bowls have large portion sizes. The burrito bowl can be two servings for those with smaller appetites. I tried three different types of tacos, and I would definitely recommend the birria tacos. The chicken taco wasn't my favorite. The tacos are served on corn tortillas and could be ordered gluten free. The burrito bowls can also be gluten free. The rice and beans were okay, but I'm not sure I would order them again. I would, however, order a side of hot sauce next time. I wish there was a better description of each on the menu. Ordering online for pickup makes it harder to guess which one I would like. And there was no queso option. I ate with two other people. One ordered a steak burrito and would happily order it again. Same with the one who ordered the marinated pork burrito bowl. read more

The birria tacos are the best around! The chips and salsa are fresh and delicious. My son loves the guacamole as well.

This place was truly a disappointment. Flavorless birria tacos, a first for any place I've had in Boston and Worcester. And they still wanted to charge extra for the consomé? Unbelievable. And frankly speaking, the birria tacos were the most flavorful of the bunch I tried. The carnitas tastes like they were just boiled and same with the carne, plainly flavorless. Do yourself a favor and go to the Venezuelan place in the same food court and treat yourself to a nice empanada or arepa. read more

I've been dying to try Birria Tacos after all the videos I've been seeing online and I was away that Taqueria Del Pueblo had them. It was my first experience and it did not disappoint. The shells were very crispy and packed full of protein and cheese. If you're coming here, you definitely need to grab a few of the tacos with some consomé! Because of my great experiences here, I tried multiple other items on their menu on repeat visits. I've been able to try a Carnitas bowl, Birria ramen, and the quesadilla. The Carnitas bowl is huge with gigantic servings of protein and rice. The Carnitas I had were very juicy and the ingredients all tasted fresh! It's a much better value than going to a fast food place like Chipotle or Moes. Forget about those places and just come here. The Birria Ramen didn't have any liquid in it when I got it but it probably soaked all into the noodles by the time I got home. I ended up pouring my consomé in here and made it too salty. Flavor was a bit too rich for me and it was a heavy meal, but if you like the consomé and instant ramen you'll like this. The quesadilla had a ton of cheese but I feel like it was lacking in Carnitas compared to how much you get in the tacos and bowl. Felt like I was biting into a lot of just tortilla. read more

Went to the Worcester Public Market location and got two birria tacos ($7) and the consomme ($2). The tacos were very flavorful and crispy but definitely needed the consomme since they were a little dry. I'm giving 4 stars because I think the consomme didn't have a lot of flavor and I think it should come with the tacos as a set. I was a little annoyed having to pay extra just for a little cup of it. Overall, if I was at the Worcester Public Market I wouldn't get it again since there's so many other great and unique restaurants there. read more

The food was okay. We ordered 6 tacos to go, they were very dry because they don't add any sauce. When I asked she said it's take out. I asked if I could get hot sauce sauce or some other sauce on the side to go and the girl said we had to pay extra, which for me, makes no sense. When I started eating I saw there was a piece or plastic inside my food. Very disappointed overall. I don't think I would go back. read more

The food here has gone seriously downhill from a few years ago. No cheese in the birria tacos, the consommé was flavorless and bland, I had to add sazon lawrys and cheese at home to make these even tolerable. Used to be delicious and flavorful, now tastes like a white woman that thinks pepper is too spicy made it. Mazatlan in Framingham has better birria tacos, as does Los Cabos in Ashland, and The Aztec in Framingham too. Don't go here unless you don't have tastebuds. read more

I've only been to their highland street location, but it has parking in the back and the front. The interior is a fun vibe, that feels very intimate and comfortable. They have a fairly small menu but everything on it is absolutely delicious. I've tried their burrito, bowl, tostada, and tortas. Would recommend all of it. They have a small bar area with bar seating, too. read more

This review is for the Highland street location. I was really excited to try this place, but my dinner tonight was underwhelming. The service was pretty good considering there was one waitress for all the tables; she was very friendly and attentive. Took a good while for the food to come but they brought out packaged meals pretty often while we waited so I imagine they get lots of takeout orders. I ate with a group of 6 folks and we ordered a mix of fajitas, burrito bowls and tortas. Their menu is very basic with either chicken or carne asada in a variety of forms so I was really expecting them to hit it out of the park. I personally ordered the chicken fajitas (served with rice and beans) and was disappointed that everything in the plate was bland. I wasn't served salsa or sour cream but asked for some to make my meal more palatable. It really needed salt, at the least, but it really lacked all seasoning and flavor--it was such a let down. My dining partners has the same thoughts about their entrees as well. They were also out of guacamole so we ordered the bean dip for the table. It was a measly side suitable for one person only, but it was the most delicious thing I ate that evening. read more

I've eaten here once before and the Birria torta was good, but the consommé was lacking. That wasn't the case tonight.

Highland location: Bad start to finish. Staff was disinterested. Salsa tasted like jarred Tostitos. Chips were different. Not in a good way. Queso was so salty it was inedible. Ordered Chicken Burrito and Chicken Burrito Bowl. Rice was hard because it was old not undercooked. Chicken was dry, overcooked. Sent meals back. Received an unauthentic apology and a $52 tab. Went home and ate a bowl of cheerios for dinner. Horrible dining experience. Will never return and do not recommend. Also, glaring lights and blaring music. Should have followed my gut and turned around upon entering. My bad. read more

If I was just ranking the food it would probably be 4 stars. I ordered take out, got Birria quesadillas and shrimp taco, $20. Kind of expensive but I thought hey if it's good, worth it. They were good but there was one big problem. The quesadillas were suppose to come with pico de gallo, sour cream and birria dipping sauce (which I've seen all over your social media) and is also the signature part of the birria tacos or quesadillas. I received none of the sauces! When I called the restaurant back, no answer?! I went to the highland street location. read more

The ultimate game-changer in Worcester! A cute little restaurant tucked in Worcester Public Market. A hidden gem if you must say. My go-to is always the birria tacos and the birria consome dipping broth. It's a MUST when it comes to tacos. The beef stew in the tacos was tender, moist, and super flavorful. The broth added an extra in-depth taste and I loved everything about it. When I first tried this combination, I was worried that the dipping broth would make the tacos fall apart but that was not the case. It's one of those meals that you have to eat right away or else it will become extremely soggy. The call-in process was easy and pick up was ready in less than 20 minutes. They send you a text when your order is ready which is really appreciated. The customer service was great with minimal interaction. All in all, I highly recommend this place! Support your local businesses! read more

The chicken quesadilla was delicious! Plenty of cheese, flavorful chicken, and perfectly toasty. The consome broth was ridiculous though. Too watery to be called a stew, it was more like tomato water. This is the perfect place as long as you don't go for the birria (which, sadly I did)! read more

Birria everything. Inside of the Woo Public Market, this vendor has a reputation around good birria menu items that's well deserved. I've tried everything from their tacos, torta, and ramen and I haven't had a menu item that I haven't enjoyed. Food is usually out fairly quickly and the lady behind the counter is generally polite and friendly. Generally speaking, the birria here is above average. It's flavorful and it's got a nice heartiness to it. Price wise, everything is quite reasonable. The one caveat menu item that I would argue is overpriced would be the birria ramen and this is only because - as someone who eats ramen at least one a day - $12 for ramen noodles in the birria stew feels like a lot. It would be much cheaper to buy one or two sides of their stew and use my own ramen noodles at home, but that's just me. Otherwise, I generally recommend Taqueria del Pueblo if you're looking try a bunch of birria menu items while also perusing what else Worcester may have to offer since they're in a prime/convenient location with good food. read more

OK - I could not wait to rush home and post this review. I will be one of the first since they just opened 3 days ago - and usually there are bad growing pains with a restaurant so new - but no issues here! If you have a favorite Mexican place in the Worcester/Shrewsbury area ... you need to try this - it might change your mind! This new restaurant is on Highland Ave (the link above is for their booth in the Marketplace - you might know them from there as well.) Nina picked the place today and once I looked at the menu I was all in ... but I had NO IDEA how much I was going to LOVE this place! To start with ... a REAL family business. Both Mom and Dad in the kitchen with the middle brother on the grill, but brother and sister Ricky and Raquel out front at the bar are the real deal. Everything is scratch made, even the sauces (and OMG that green hot sauce is AMAZING!) I was sold on going just to have a Torta (haven't had a good one in New England after having them in Southern CA) ... but this one was SO GREAT (I had the carnitas version). I'm not lying it was one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. Another thing that made it amazing is the side of consomé. It comes with the Birria (or beef stew) taco ... but I could literally use that with anything. So my Torta, dipped in the Consomé, then dragged through a tine bit of that delicious green hot sauce - perfect! (Money! as Guy Fieri would say). Nina had the burrito bowl was was gorgeous, fresh and delicious. The drink menu was very clever as well - with some really good combinations - we tried 2 of them and were NOT disappointed. I included a picture of their drink menu - check it out! One of the things I love about a family-run place, they care SO much! 5 members of the family there today working, father and son put in the stones for the bar-rail 3 days ago - they put in the new wood floor themselves, the sauces and most of the recipes are from their mother and the amazing painting on the wall was even done by a high school friend of theirs! Seriously folks - you MUST give this a try soon - I know we'll be going back a lot! read more
