A solid option for your typical Americanized Mexican restaurant. I would come here largely for the ambience, drinks and the social aspect. Not to mention Legacy Place is a convenient meet up spot. Our server, Maggie, was super sweet and patient, while keeping things moving for us. 5 stars for Maggie! The food, however, was average, especially given the price point. The menu is somewhat limited for what you may expect from restaurants like Temazcal. The chips, salsa and bean dip were my highlight of the food. I really appreciated having three options to switch between. For dinner I had the short rib quesadilla, and while the short rib was tender, I think it lacked a bit in flavor. The guac and rajas did help with this a bit. The taquitos were not quite as crispy as I had hoped, and the chicken inside seemed a little mushy. My friend however, really enjoyed them, so perhaps it is a personal preference. The margaritas were solid, no complaints here. I had been to Temazcal before just for drinks and I really enjoyed the ambience there. For me this is a place to come grab a drink and hang out with friends! read more

I sincerely love the food at this restaurant and Uber Eats it to my house all the time but I've noticed every time I go to the restaurant and sit at the bar my husband and I receive horrible service. This last time was so bad I felt the need to leave a review. I arrived first and received a menu right away but the bartender never came back over to take my drink order. After walking by me numerous times with zero attention, my husband walked in, sat down and immediately was asked what he wanted to drink. Wtf? He ordered his drink and I ordered mine as well as an appetizer. My husband received his drink immediately and shortly after that we received our queso (which is amazing btw) but after 20 minutes my drink was no where to be found, bartender forgot. Eventually I received my drink.... After ordering and surprising getting our second round of drinks we wanted to order our entrees and when I asked the bartender was clearly annoyed. Aside from a bartender with little to no experience, the manager who was around did nothing but help clean the mountain of dirty glasses piling up at the bar. As someone who has worked in the service industry for over a decade, it was crazy to me how one bartender couldn't handle the couple of people that were in the restaurant and be able to clean up as well. We almost left because the service was so bad and to top it off we were charged for other peoples orders and when I brought it to his attention he was pissed. I really love this restaurant but when this happens over and over there is clearly some sort of training/ managerial situation. read more

Food was very good, service, not so much, 2 bartenders with 4 patrons and they were on their phones, not attentive at all.

The food was a meh for me. Somehow, I found everything to be too sweet, even the salsas. The pitcher of sangria at nearly $60 was disappointing - it tasted like a regular bottle of Cabernet without fruits or other fruit flavors . But the final straw for me was the waitress - she had a big attitude. Will not be coming back . read more

Fine experience in the Dedham mall - service was very friendly, but remarkably slow. Tacos were good, drinks were ok, overall pricey for the quality. read more

Quite possibly the worst Mexican restaurant I've been to. Long wait times. Service isn't great. The fried fish tacos were decent, but it only came in an order of two with rice and beans. Shrimp quesadilla was horrendous. There was absolutely no flavor, little shrimp meat and the guac was brown. This place is overpriced and I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Food is nasty. Drinks are subpar. Nice looking place but needs a 360 menu and chef makeover

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon at Legacy Place and all the restaurants had a 20-30 minute wait, so my wife and I went in to TTC for lunch. We were seated at a booth right away and enjoyed the chips/salsa and our drinks. My wife ordered the Pork Tacos and I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas. My Fajitas dish was average to poor, the good things were the tortilla and rice and beans that came with the dish. On the negative side, I thought the grilled shrimp were too chard and the vegetables on the plate were mostly onions with fewer peppers. The vegetables seemed overly oily. I would not order the dish again. I tried my wife's taco and it was good and I would likely get that if we ever ate here again. The inside of the restaurant is quiet and the booth seating was comfortable. Service seemed a bit slow, once I received the check it was nice that I could pay using my iPhone without having to wait for the server to take the card and run it. read more

Service was very attentive and friendly. Food was unremarkable, and over priced compared to other local Mexican places. One person in our party had a salad with grilled salmon. The piece of fish could hardly have been smaller. The dining room was pleasant. read more

Food, service and ambiance were great. We went here for a special celebration with the family. We had a big group so was set up upstairs so we have our private area. Service was very pleasant and food was good. read more

The ambiance was beautiful and the food was delicious but the service was horrible. My date, and I had a server who was working on her first shift, and I think she took our leniency for granted. At first, I sat there and had to ask a random server if they knew who our server was and then when she finally came, she was very sweet, but neglectful. I will just say that my date and I stayed at the restaurant upwards of three hours with constantly having to ask where our server was or where are drinks were. read more

How can a place that serves food this bad still be in business? Salad had no dressing, fish was cooked so dry you couldn't even cut it. Giving two stars because the restaurant was clean and the server was nice. There's so many good Mexican places in the area - save your money. read more

Becca is iconic. She could run the place. Need to request her again when I come back. Good vibes here read more

Temazcal Tequila Cantina - Mezcal drink and spicy pineapple drink - Mexican Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Recently, I ordered some takeout from this Mexican restaurant. I ordered the verde enchiladas and got a side of Acapulco street corn cob. The verde enchiladas had roasted chicken inside of it with queso fresco and verde sauce. The enchiladas were pretty good but I thought the Mexican rice was rather bland. The corn cob was also tasty but I thought they burnt the corn too much to the extent that it was inedible. read more

Ordered Quesadia with shrimp, turned out to be way better than I imaged. Love the up beat music and friendly bartender (Roxanne) with a big smile and personable. Will be my regular weekly stop now read more

Hard to find great Mexican around these parts, most are run of the mill or a chain and not very good. This place is a chain and this location sits in very busy Legacy Place in Dedham and took the place of a stone fired pizza place that failed. Not sure if this place will fail but its not the greatest, its basically as average as you can get. The inside is what you would expect, I could of done without the walls of TVs and the loud music, bar sits in the middle of the place. Seating in here is very tight and we were crammed into a booth at the back. Menu is margaritas of course and some other cocktails, beers (out of Dos Equis though?). Food is what you would expect also, however be ready for the spice, every single thing I tried here from the free chips and salsa to the fish tacos I ordered was as spicey as you can get. The service here was the downfall of this place, slow, mediocre and lost is what I have to say, wait staff rushes your food on to the table and screws up your orders due to the fact the staff is lost when it comes to their stupid handheld ordering system which also is your check and payment method which is another dumb move, basically a wait staff standing over you while you review your check and pay which is rude and not proper. In the end, this place is not good enough food or service to return to and I wouldnt recommend the place to anyone, you can find better elsewhere. read more

Alright, I've read a lot of reviews and don't understand why this place has 3-stars (on 02/24/21). Yes, I agree that serving and cooking time is very important, but when you go to the restaurant, you always expect to spend 1,5-2 hours minimum. If you wait for 10-15 min longer, it is not a reason to put 1-3 stars. Now, my review. I was here during the COVID in December. I didn't see any delays with food. Everything was served super quick. We even wished to make it longer, but they cooked and served everything right after our drinks. All drinks were unbelievable! Really. The next day I went to the liquor store to get the same ingredients and make the same cocktail, but I was a fiasco. The food...mmm...I dream of comeback and order that chicken and fish tacos with corn on the side. Man, it was delicious. Also, we got complimentary chips with two or three different dips. The staff was great as well! Very nice, polite and friendly! I will define go back there in a couple of weeks! read more

This is long overdue. We've come here quite a few times and have yet to have any bad service or dinner. Everyone is very attentive, the host, the server and the runners. The only thing I don't like is the two tops are so close to each other inside the restaurant but other than that I have zero complaints. Food is appealing and delicious. Service has always been great. The menu has variety and a little of everything. We will be back as this is one of our go to's. read more

I went to Temazcal tonight for my boyfriend and I's 4 year anniversary and had Tanner as a server. It was our first time going to this restaurant and Tanner made sure to answer all of our questions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. His energy made our night even more enjoyable and I will definitely be back in the future. Tanner is one of the best servers I have ever had and his customer service is impeccable. Great experience! read more

Service at the bar was sloooooow. We went on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly slow. We watched as folks who arrived AFTER us at the bar got their drink orders taken first. Chips and salsa finally helped the hangry-ness that was happening. Food redeemed some of the other qualities that were lacking in service. We got the pork chuleta and the fish tacos. Both great. Drinks were good too. I think this review genuinely would've been 5 stars if we hadn't waited 15 minutes to get water and chips and had the other folks who sat at the bar after us get their drink order taken. read more

I was at Temezcal the other night with my family and friends and the food was so yummy! I got the chicken tacos, my mom got the salmon tacos and our family friend got the steak tacos birria tacos. It was a great warm dish to eat especially in this cold weather. Another great aspect of our experience was the chips and salsa/ dips that tided us over until our food (which didn't take long). They're great if you want to try new things. Our waitress Dakota was amazing too, helping us decide what to get with helpful recommendations. She also introduced us to plantains with agave which were to die for!! She was very helpful and patient with our table. Overall, I had such a great time catching up with my family and friends over cozy authentic food. We will be back very soon!!! read more

I ordered chicken fajitas and was given a piece of chicken (which was fine) over a bed of pepper and onions. There was maybe 1/8 of pepper and look how much onion! I very politely complained to the waitress and she got the manager. Who was a fucking jerk. He was incredibly rude in stature and demeanor, he claimed to care about problem solving, but didn't ask me if I was still hungry, which I was. And am. He took it off the bill, but only after arguing with me that the peppers were there (I separated them out for the photo, the peppers are to the left of the fork) and that since I said the chicken was good, it wasn't all bad. Fuck this restaurant. Don't eat here. This guy made me download the yelp app to complain. read more

Went for lunch and left very satisfied. We started with the very generous red sangria pitcher. It was wonderful! Our waitress was so helpful and funny, she made the experience so great. I wish I could remember her name. I wanted to give her credit. The input she made through the meal was so spot on. The chips to start were a great touch, the salsa was perfect. The fajitas were fantastic. The chicken and steak were cooked perfectly. The restaurant had a perfect patio and indoor dining that was great for everyone. The parking is a bit rough but we'll worth it. I have no idea how people have this restaurant less than 5 stars. Don't trust those low ratings. I ate so fast I forgot to take pictures! Next time! read more

Love the fundido from this location. It was my first time eating here and it was recommended from my friend to try the fundido. I was not disappointed. I had chicken nachos as my meal from the appetizer menu and it was big and delicious. The expresso martini was made good. The churros was okay. They were a little overdone because there were some points on the churros that were hard. The service was good. There was a moment where we didn't get an appetizer in a timely manner. We received our meal less than five minutes from receiving our appetizer. But overall the place is good after shopping and need a good meal. read more

Excellent every time I come here always consistent. The bartenders know how to make great margaritas with fresh ingredients. I'm super fussy and it's my go to place every time. The fish tacos were perfection. How on earth is this place rated so low on Yelp. Makes no sense and say a lot about Yelp reviews - deceiving. read more

Located in Legacy Place next to the movie theatre this bar/restaurant is nestled in. The decor is exactly what you'd expect. They have ample space at a large bar that is the centerpiece of the restaurant. Yes....they do have a lot of tequila here. So if that is your thing-you have quite the selection. After a shopping trip to Costco....tequila sounds pretty darn good. The food tends to miss the mark. The food is quite expensive for Mexican fair and far from authentic. They do give complimentary chips and salsa...so kudos for that. If you do roll through here.....grab a big margarita and the chips and salsa. That's worth it. The staff is friendly and will serve you promptly. Will be back for that combo. read more

This place was actually a pleasant surprise! My SO and I came on an afternoon on a Friday. The yelp reviews weren't awesome for this place but we figured we'd give it a chance. Glad we did. We were there to hit up the Apple store and decided to grab lunch and some drinks around the area. This place was within walking distance so we went in. It's a very beautiful restaurant I'll say for starters. Sat at the bar. Bartender was nice and helpful. Food and drinks came out promptly. The food was good! All be it a little on the salty side but still very good. Will definitely be back if ever in the area again. read more

We arrived, a party of six. We all ordered margaritas. Two of the party order the traditional and had to send them back because there was something wrong with them. I ordered a dinner salad, and had about ten bites before I saw a WORM crawling out of the LETTUCE. I alerted the hostess, she took it back and the manager came and took it off the bill and gave us a 25 dollar gift card. But I've been sick for over 24 hours with Montezuma's revenge. Clearly they didn't wash their produce properly and I'm hoping I don't have E. coli. Don't go here until amateur hour is over. They're not ready for prime time. read more

I wish we had checked the reviews before we chose to have dinner here. As soon as we were blinded by the glaring lights we should've turned around and found another restaurant. The whole meal was comically bad. The $16 side of guacamole came out brown. We had to scrape the top layer and it was still watery and flavorless. Also, jalapeños go in guac, not serranos. Serranos are much spicier but don't have the fresh flavor of a jalapeño. The waiter informed us that the bartenders were MIA so our drinks were going to be a while, then walked away. Both of our entrees were terrible, it seemed like they made no effort in making the food, they just slapped a banana leaf in the dish and called it a day. We both too a couple of bites and left the rest on the table. I wish I thought to take pictures of the food but we were just stunned at how lackluster this place was. Taco Bell has better food. The only positives were that some of the waitstaff were good and they have a big tequila selection. Definitely steering clear of this place and all of the other sister restaurants conveniently advertised on their take-home bag that we didn't use. read more

chicken was so disgusting. tasted old - i think had been reheated maybe. our server was very nice tho

Meh. Salsa and sauces all good. Entrees however fell flat. One of our dining party came close to choking on a toothpick left inside his enchiladas. Service was ok, but slow to see if we needed anything else. Food arrived warmish...just ok. read more

Exceptional service by Rodrigo. He was attentive and personable. The portions were large and everything was delicious!

Well, I have to say I've waited for more than two years to finally come to this place. It appeared on my "go to" list even before it opened at Legacy Place. However, I was very much disappointed with all the reviews I read online. I don't like to waste my time on places I know will definitely suck. So I ignored the place for several years. How stupid am I!? I guess, only God knows. I was so satisfied with everything I've experienced at Temazcal. The service, the drinks, the tacos. The fish taco is so insanely good. Diego margarita is just like heaven. Not only will I recommend it to my friend, I will definitely come back. Probably even sooner that I expected myself read more
