Food was excellent! I got the Chorizo Enchiladas. Clips were also very good and included 3 types of salsa. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was modern and inviting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and I felt it is reasonably priced with decent portion sizes. The service however was not great. I sat at the bar and I don't think my sever said 5 words to me other than "are you ready to order". No hello, no thank you, no mid meal check in or to offer to refill my empty beverage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was pretty empty too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other than the inattentive service.....A+ read more

Great place overall , we loved our server, and the bar staff were friendly with great service. The drinks were amazing too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, I do think the management needs to take a closer look at the deeper areas of the building. At first glance, the place appears clean and up to par, but on multiple occasions I noticed what looked like mice/rats roaming around (no typo).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The first time was on my way to the bathroom. Another guest saw it too and even asked me, "Did you see that?" I could hardly believe it myself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The second incident happened when I was walking back to my table; near a plant, a small one was moving around, which really disgusted my date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fortunately, we had only ordered drinks, but the cleanliness in this location truly needs to be addressed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For my review I'm adding 2 stars for that cause fellow people should not expect this, otherwise this would have been a 4 star if not for that experience. read more

Server was good... that is about it... Food was regular to unacceptable! Meat, asked to be medium, came extremely well done( could not eat it) Fish was burned! Dish that was supposed to be not spicy came too spicy( hardly edible) Overpriced for what it was! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music too loud, like in a bar: hard to talk...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will NOT come back! read more

To me the food was very bland and nothing special. Service was on the slow side although once we finally ordered the food came out pretty quickly. It's an OK menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a beautiful space and other people seemed to like it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Pretty solid Mexican food. I came here late night for a quick bite, and had a pretty decent time. The service was honestly what stuck out to me - the server was super friendly and prompt despite the late hour. That said, the food itself wasn't much to write home about: the fajitas I got were just OK (heavy on the onions, overly sauced, only a few tortillas) and the side dishes weren't much to write home about. The vibe here is a bit interesting - I got the vibe it leans hard into the bar, and in particular tequila flights. I could see it being a fun place for drinks and a quick snack, but have doubts that I'd come here for a full meal. read more

Food was good as always. Phoenix was our server and super attentive and knowledgeable on the tequila menu. It was very easy getting a table for lunch and we had a great meal. read more

Review for Tiago at Temazcal Framingham My family and I have been loyal patrons of Temazcal, dining at several of their locations across Massachusetts over the years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the food is consistently excellent and the ambiance welcoming, no one has ever provided us with the level of service we experienced from Tiago at Temazcal Framingham.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tiago is the kind of professional every restaurant hopes to have on their team -- he's polite, pleasant, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels valued and cared for. His attention to detail, genuine warmth, and ability to anticipate needs without being intrusive are rare qualities in the hospitality world. As business owners ourselves, we understand firsthand how difficult it is to find someone with Tiago's work ethic, attitude, and natural ability to connect with people. Temazcal is very fortunate to have him. Frankly, if your company doesn't recognize the asset you have in Tiago, we dare say another business will -- we even thought about 'stealing' him from Temazcal. He's a unicorn in this industry -- a rare find whose presence elevates the entire dining experience. We sincerely recommend that Temazcal give Tiago opportunities to train other team members in the art of true customer service, and seriously consider him for a management position. Employees like him don't just fill a role -- they transform businesses. To Tiago: thank you for making our evening so special. You've set a new standard for what excellent service looks like. With appreciation, Sophia & Family read more

Delicious spot for an affordable lunch! The bean dip and other salsas are enough to make me come back. Good service, good portion sizes. Don't miss out on the beet salad - it was the star of the show. read more

I was defiantly disappointed with my visit to temazcal. Fish came either over cooked or old. The chicken mole was over cooked/ dry with bacon you had to tear and little to no sauce on top and I usually expect the food to be drowning in it. Took 45 minutes to get food and there was only 4 other tables. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sat across from a dirty table for over a half hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Love the food and drinks but so overpriced. The last time we went in, the drinks were the same price but HALF the size of the margs we usually got. Shrinkflation in full swing here. read more

I reserved their private area for my son's birthday party.It was a very special day for everyone and I was so happy that the event (from service, to venue, to music, to food, etc) was PERFECTION. Christina, the Director of Catering & Events, was very responsive, and answered my many questions kindly & promptly! Antonio, the General Manager, was very welcoming and accommodating to us the day of our event. He made himself available from start-to-finish. Our servers for the event, Ellie & Sophia, were the BEST. They were so patient (with our many guests and their requests), and so efficient with set up and service. i loved that they would check in with me every so often to make sure all was going well. They were truly two angels for the special day. Finally the FOOD and DRINKS! Everything was SPECTACULAR. Everyone was raving about the food - especially the churros! read more

Food was excellent. Service was horrible. Incredibly slow (just keep the drinks and chips coming at least!) and most times we had to actually stop staff in their tracks to get any help. My impression was they didn't have enough wait staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Regardless it's a fun atmosphere and we really enjoyed ourselves despite my hubby getting a little "hangry"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A little pricey, but everything is these days. We will definitely go again because that was the best fajita I've ever had and everything we ordered was a step above your average Mexican restaurant. The drinks were also delicious. Be prepared for very long wait times and order everything at once because you never know when you will get service again. read more

Finally getting around to writing a review for Temazcal in Framingham. Tonight was perhaps our tenth visit there. Frankly, I'm having a hard time understanding the relatively mediocre (3.1, as of September, 2024) rating I see for this restaurant, because we've enjoyed it quite a bit over the years. Note that this isn't a review of Temescal (with an "es" instead of an "az") in Framingham, because that's a marijuana dispensary. If you want Mexican food, go to Temazcal. If you want pot, go to Temescal, and then after the munchies kick in you can drift over to Temazcal if you have a designated driver. We've tried many dishes over the years, and were never disappointed. The only negatives were that: a) the fish tacos are hard to pick up and eat; b) The prices are somewhat high, especially considering that there hasn't been a reduced-price lunch menu. $16 for a guacamole appetizer? I don't think so. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our visits were primarily at lunch, often at off-hours, and the restaurant is spacious and never very crowded, which was great during Covid days. Generally, a rather relaxing atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Eating outside has actually been less relaxing due to vehicular noise (hey, it's a parking lot), and somewhat intrusive music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pre-meal chips and salsa are great, especially the bean dip. Some people could easily fill up on the chips and/or supplement with an appetizer instead of getting a main course (hint: my wife can do that, but it doesn't work that way with me). One thing I cannot speak to is authenticity; I'd not be surprised if these dishes are highly Americanized. But they taste good, so that's excellent compensation IMO. We also haven't tried the beverages, so no opinion on those. The main courses have been generous, and we never leave hungry. I've been partial to the fajitas, since I feel like I'm exercising as I assemble each portion. But we've enjoyed enchiladas, fish tacos, camarones al ajillo, chicken mole, and a few other dishes that I've forgotten. Perhaps because of too much Temescal. :-( The service has always been pleasant, so no complaints there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you live south of Route 9 there are likely to be more affordable, authentic Mexican restaurants that you'd pass on your way to Temazcal (though perhaps not matching its ambiance).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But we live north a ways, and plan on continuing to visit Temazcal from time to time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]So, I roll up there, and it's super crowded--I have no idea why.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then, I find out they gave away my table. I was honestly shocked because I had eight people with me! I finally get a table, sit down, and wait for two and a half hours. When I get up to go to the bathroom, this random guy bumps into me while carrying some random stuff, and I head to the bathroom only to find myself with the worst diarrhea ever. It was practically like water; I was miserable and completely lost my appetite. So, I just order a mocktail--a pink lemonade, right? And it's literally watered down with barely any flavor, just this weird bitterness. Like, what the heck?? read more

Five hungry guys descended on Temazcal Tequila Cantina in Framingham. We were promptly seated, and our pleasant waitress arrived quickly. We tried a couple of starters, as we always seem to arrive in a somewhat ravenous state. Chips with sauces arrived swiftly, and as we munched on those, we ordered: * Guacamole tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano chile $12 * Queso Fundido mexican cheese fondue, grilled flour tortilla $10 add: chorizo $2 These were fairly good, and not too spicy for my palette. I'd be fine ordering, or not ordering these again. They were neither memorable nor avoidable. For our dinners we ordered several different meals, and I tasted the following two: * Temazcal Mixtas Grill tenderloin*, shrimp, chicken, chorizo, cipollini onion, jalapeno, sweet mashed $25 * Adobo braised Short Ribs asparagus, sweet mashed, adobo cazuela $23 The mixed grill was much too spicy for me. After a few bites, I wondered if they offered different levels of spiciness here but remained uncertain as I was not asked. When our waitress checked in on how we like our dinners, I said mine was too spicy, but was not offered any response to this. Since I was dining with a group, I didn't voice anything further. My shrimp was very poorly cooked, soggy, limp and very unappealing. It remained on the dish. I would not order this dish again. One of my friends traded some short ribs for my chicken. I found the ribs to be a little dry and tough. Several of my friends thought their dinners were fairly good, one of whom can eat the spiciest food known on the planet. So I'm providing a three-star review, for a dinner experience with mixed results. In general, I was underwhelmed by this visit. Would I give it another try? I think so (and would try different dishes) but would not rush to do so. read more

I don't come to the area often, but my husband really wanted some good Mexican food and I'm a tequila drinker so I felt this was the right choice. We sat at the bar and were lucky to have Jen, she was absolutely killing it behind the bar. I've never seen someone be able to handle so many drink tickets and take the time to get our food order right. We will definitely be returning if not for the food then for our bartender! read more

It feels like the food has gone downhill here. It used to be one of our favorite places for more upscale Mexican, but the last two visits were a disappointment. The mole enchiladas are now 3 tight rolls with packed grainy chicken and crunchy shells. Tastes more like a snack than a main dish. The sides are just ok. The margaritas were good and so was the service. Not sure I'll be in any hurry to go back. read more

Friendly, excellent, service. Busy on the weekend- popular place. Margaritas seem to be the play here. I like that just one part of the huge margarita glass is salted. I got the traditional and my friend got the spicy pineapple. Both were delightful. Food portions are huge. They add jicama to different dishes, which I think is creative and tasty. Seems like a good restaurant for families and groups. read more

My BF and I went in for a quick lunch and no one was around for quite a few minutes when it opened. Finally the manager came over and we ordered diet cokes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table was not cleaned from the night before as there were food particles all over as well as on the seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chips were stale and the three sauces looked like the bowl was not cleaned thoroughly. I ordered the steak fajitas and my bf ordered the enchiladas. The steak was so tough and drenched in some sort of thick salty sauce I could barely eat it. My bf enchiladas had a strange taste. This place used to be amazing!! Needless to say, this off the list. Do better Temazcal! read more

Our first time here, our server was really sweet and gave great recommendations. I'm from The Southwest so the chips and salsa don't have the spicy kick I'm used to but it was still good. Our food took a while to come out, but we didn't notice because we were deep in conversation. But the manager (I think his name was Chris) came and apologized which was really nice of him to do. While I wish there was more spice to the food, the service was great and so were the margaritas! read more

Temazcal in Framingham is a nice replacement to the old Paparazzi restaurant building. Went on a busy Saturday night a few weeks after grand opening. No reservations, so our party of six waited about 45 minutes for a table. We observed wait staff, front desk, and what appeared to be management at work. It seemed to be frantic and a bit disorganized. Several parties were waiting to be seated, but a dozen or so tables went unoccupied. After we were seated, our wait person Cece announced her training was complete and we were her first table as a waitress. She was friendly and attentive for being a busy night. She made a couple of minor errors which we pointed out, but we liked her. The food was more gourmet Mexican and overall very good. We started with guacamole and salsa with chips. The guacamole was fresh and tasty. Two salsas and a bean dip provided a variety of flavors. Chips were nicely salted, but cold and a bit stale. Dinner included poblano stuffed chicken with mole sauce, short rib tacos, verde enchiladas, carnitas quesadillas and plantains. We fished with flan and churros. Everything was delicious, especially the side of rice and plantains. read more

I just wanna leave a review about my horrible experience at this place, I was out for a birthday dinner for my brothers birthday with my family we get seated we place our order both me and my brother order the same plate "mole enchiladas" we got our food and we both take a bite out of it and start to notice instant itch in our throat so we stopped eating we call the waiter over to ask if our plate contained any nuts and he says it does as we are both allergic to nut we instantly start getting ready to go to nearest ER, the manager comes over first thing he says is "why didn't you inform the waiter of the nut allergy" doesn't even ask if we are okay or need ambulance or any help, he then brings the bill over of our food and still decided to charge us for our plate that we took two bites out of, not once did he feel sorry or showed that he cared, yes I understand we should've informed the waiter of the allergy but last time I ate there our waiter asked before we even placed our order if the table had any food allergies which I feel like is the most proper way to do it cause who would've thought a chicken and rice plate would contain nuts! Horrible experience and even worse customer service from the manager very unprofessional and careless! We both spent the rest of the night in the ER on IV I will never return to this restaurant only rated it one star cause it doesn't give the option for 0 star! THE ITEM ON MENU HAD NO INDICATOR SAYING IT CONTAINED NUTS read more

Nice place, good food, service could be a little better but anyway it is still fine. Thanks.

I have been here years ago and liked it. Last night we had a pretty bad experience. First, we waited for a good 5 minutes while the front desk staff waited to find us a table in a restaurant with numerous open seats. They placed us next to a larger party, with a chair in the aisle that waitstaff kept slamming into as they walked past us. The waitress took forever to come get our order. The drinks took forever to come. We asked for a water refill and the waitress forgot. We ordered two soup appetizers, one without cheese on the side. They only brought one, and the waitress clearly forgot to put the order in as the second soup came out with the meal. They didn't bring cheese for either soup, which my husband wanted, and they didn't bring it out until he was done with the app. I ordered the salmon tacos as they were tastless and slimey and feel apart while I ate them. My husband did like his fish tacos. The waitress was rude and acted like us asking for the food we paid for was a huge problem to her. When you pay the bill they stand next to you to watch your tip - we wanted to leave a poor tip for poor food and service, but felt pressured which was odd. I would never go again - too many other decent Mexican places around! read more

What a beautiful place. Seriously, it's really well decorated and put together. The food was pretty good. Not outstanding, but still really good. Had vegetarian nachos and guacamole for apps. The nachos were generous, hot, fast, crisp and delicious. I never thought to put portobello on nachos. Damn, that was good. The guacamole was fresh, lively, and well seasoned. It went down fast. The skirt steak tacos were pretty good. Didn't care for the sweetness of the marinade but it wasn't a deal breaker The churros are with a visit alone. Crisp outside, kinda doughy inside. The brownies was just ok. I must try their flan. The cocktails are the real selling point. Bright, fresh, and flavorful with what seemed like a generous pour. I will be going back to try more. read more

Attractive interior decor, nice friendly service, dishes have great presentation - yet nevertheless, the flavors were muted and missing the brightness and liveliness you would expect from a high-end and purportedly authentic Mexican restaurant. The complimentary tortilla chips tasted stale and the salsas, although fresh-tasting, were bland and bite-less (no heat). We started off with promisingly described appetizers of tuna tartare and shrimp seviche but they were surprisingly lacking in flavor. I had their tacos with asada skirt steak and it was similarly bland and ordinary. Even the churros - always a fave of mine - were soggy and limp. The dishes looked much better than they tasted. High expectations but sadly disappointingly executed read more
