Birria tacos, burritos, plantains, and street corn.
"Tacos, burritos, tostadas, fajitas, flautas: Dora has it all. This taqueria mainstay in Dorchester is the place to fill up whether you’re looking for a feast for one or ten people. There are also additional locations in Woburn and Weymouth." - Erika Adams
"Dora Taqueria opened just weeks before the pandemic closed down the city in 2020. In the intervening years, it has not only survived but thrived: Owner Kelmyn Mejia and his daughter Kimberly expanded with a Woburn location of the taqueria in 2022. For the uninitiated, start with the birria tacos. The crispy, fried outer shells give way to flavorful stewed beef mixed with gobs of melty cheese, ready to dip in a side cup of warming, smoky consomé." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"I love burritos and plantains separately but never thought to combine the two until I noticed the option at Dora Taqueria. My go-to order is a carnitas burrito with all the fixings, with the addition of the perfect maduros inside the burrito for an added buck. The side of fiery ghost pepper hot sauce is a nice balance to the sweet plantains, too. And if you have any self-control (I don’t), you can easily cut the burrito in half, and it’s two filling meals. —Nathan Tavares" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Nathan Tavares, Karen Wilber
"This Upham’s Corner taqueria offers tacos (including the wildly popular birria variety), tortas, burritos, quesadillas, and more. Dora is open for takeout and delivery via DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats." - Terrence Doyle
"Dora Taqueria is pretty new to Boston’s Mexican food scene, having opened in early 2020, and it serves a wide range of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, flautas, and more. The birria tacos come in an order of three, with onion, cilantro, cheese, and dipping broth. Dora is currently open for takeout, and delivery is also available via several third-party platforms." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
