"What I’ve noticed at Citrus & Salt is how some restaurants unofficially double as nightlife spots: its bar buzzes well after dinner and contributes to the city’s after-hours vibrancy." - Todd Plummer
"Recently transplanted from Back Bay, Jason Santos’ colorful and creative Mexican restaurant, Citrus & Salt, is a crowd-pleaser. The Instagram-able interior is packed with flowers and colorful murals, and the menu is packed with tacos including classics like beef birria and creative takes like duck confit. The full-service restaurant is open for lunch on Thursday and Friday, and team-dinner-ready with pitchers of margaritas seven days a week." - Tanya Edwards
"The best thing about Citrus & Salt is that you’ll step in the door and forget you’re working that day entirely. With a lot of distressed wood, butterfly murals, and string lights overhead, this place feels like a party at a Mexican beach cabana. The ceviche selection is solid and, if you really want to commit to the fantasy, they’ve got a strong selection of tequila and mezcal cocktails." - dan secatore
"With hanging cafe lights, Day Of The Dead murals, and tables that look like they were made out of driftwood, Citrus & Salt looks like a destination wedding venue in Cozumel. So if none of your friends are having one of those in the dreary dead of February, head here for some ceviche and so many margaritas that you won’t even feel it when you slip on black ice later. (You’ll definitely feel it the next morning, though, which just means you’ll have to go back for more margaritas and beef birria tacos.)" - dan secatore
"Hopefully your business lunch will be overflowing with conversation about whatever it is people talk about at these things - mergers, stock options, and fantasy football teams, probably. But if you’re worried about awkward silences, Citrus & Salt in the Back Bay is a good choice. It’s one of the more visually interesting restaurants in Boston - a bright place filled with string lights and calavera murals. The menu of ceviche, tacos, and other Latin small plates goes great with the extensive margarita selection that you’ll be seriously tempted to dive into, so if your business is one where wearing the nice pair of jeans is considered dressing up, then come here and have a little fun." - dan secatore
