Guadalajara in Waltham Feb 3rd, 2005
Don't expect any frills or fancy dishes, just great, authentic central-Mexican food. Service may be slow, but the food is worth the wait. Can be very busy, esp. during the summer. Outdoor seating at 2 tables. Try a fresh fruit smoothie with your meal, so good!

Service Is the Only Complaint Aug 8th, 2004
We enjoyed the food and the beer. The only complaint was a 45 minute wait for the food. (They apologetically admitted they had forgotten to put the order in - we got the beers free though.)

We have lived in Waltham for 8 years - originally coming from out west. This is the only restaurant we have found that we consider authentic Mexican food in the entire Boston area. Love the area, love the tacky decor, love the outside seating on spring and summer evenings. Family owned and the pride shows. Carlos, (one of the cooks and the son of the owner) is tops!

Our Favorite Restaurant Nov 9th, 2003
We really love this place. We like to eat all the excellent salsa and to cool off with the licuados after all the spices. Entrees are tasty too. Inexpensive. Wonderfully tacky interior and Spanish (Mexican) jukebox selections. A real shock to go to the two fake Mexican restaurants in town after this one (and this restaurant is only a few blocks away from the fake ones).

Great Food, Excellent Prices Sep 29th, 2003
A friend described this place as serving "the sort of food Mexican truck drivers would eat". It's real Mexican food, not snobby dishes with a Mexican influence.

The food is delicious, filling and cheap. Every time I go I have a dilemma - do I order one of my favorites from the past or try something new? I've liked almost every thing there, so it's hard to decide.

The sausage and potato appetizer (a flauta?) is amazing. The banana and strawberry milkshakes are wonderful. I love the mushroom burrite. The list goes on...

The service is decent, but certainly not blazingly fast. I think the other reviewers are expecting too much.

This Is the Real Thing Aug 26th, 2003
I grew up 20 miles from the Mexican border in California, and I have spent a great deal of time in Mexico. When I first went to Taqueria Mexico in Waltham I was blown away the moment I entered. I was back in Mexico. This place isn't fancy, it isn't expensive, but it is exactly like you walked into a neighborhood restaurant somewhere in Mexico. The shrine to the Virgin is there, along with the specials board (in Spanish, of course), velvet paintings, the entire thing is so authentic that it takes a moment to realize they didn't intend to create a replica, but rather the people who run this place ARE Mexican and they're just doing it like they did back home.

To those who complain about the slow or bad service:

Get a grip, when you enter Taqueria Mexico you are as good as in Mexico itself - the land of "Manana" (everything can wait until tomorrow). This is simply the Mexican culture - no hurry, no worry. If you expect speedy American service go to an American restaurant. This is simply how it is in Mexico - and Taqueria Mexico is no different. If you want the entire experience without having to pay the airfare then I strongly suggest eating at Taqueria Mexico - but don't expect fast food. Relax, take in the atmosphere, and enjoy a real Mexican dining experience.
