Mexcito Restaurant

Decent Mexican place in Kendall Square. Mexcito has always piqued my curiosity, but its food-truck-like aesthetic and negative reviews had kept me at bay. Finally giving it a try, I was pleasantly surprised to find that their food was better than I expected. I started with the Pollo Asado taco, featuring marinated grilled chicken thigh accented by Cotija chipotle mayo, pico de gallo, and shaved lettuce. While a bit on the pricier side for a taco, the quality of the ingredients and flavors somewhat justified the cost. The Carne Asada Bowl was a mixed bag. Despite its rather dry carne asada, the bowl was replete with a variety of fresh and vibrant components—Mexican red rice, black beans, pickled red cabbage, avocado aioli, and charred corn, among others. It tasted like something you'd find in a salad bar, but with a Mexican twist. Overall, while Mexcito may not offer the most authentic or awe-inspiring Mexican cuisine, it's a serviceable choice for a quick, satisfying, and relatively healthy meal.

$30+ for 2 tacos + 1 appetizer for takeout. $7 for a tiny taco. Way way overpriced for the taste & portion 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Mexcito seems to be a hotspot for locals and young professionals in Cambridge. We stayed at a nearby hotel, and honestly, just chose Mexcito because it wasn’t overly crowded. It was an okay experience overall. The food was good, even though there was a hair in my tacos. The customer service was decent, as well. But overall, it was just “meh.” Nothing wowed us, but if I were working in the area, I’d get my fix here with tacos since it’s walking distance. But as a tourist, I’d hop on the T and go downtown for a better, and more memorable, taco option.

I have tried the burrito and the nachos. The latter being my favorite. These nachos are so well put together and delicious. The nachos Stayed crunchy and the meat tasted super fresh. Looking forward to trying this again. Try the carne asada nachos for sure. The burrito left a little to be desired for me as I like a lot of toppings and sour cream. Super fresh good food here though guys.

I thought this food was great. My only issue, I think, would be that there isn't indoor dining. Usually I wouldn't mind this, but seeing that it's in Cambridge, it was just really hot out. I definitely recommend it though.

people were so nice and the drinks were very good, but the food was just kinda bland

Attendant told us that parking would be Validated and cost $6. When we returned the new attendant was adamant that was not true and forced us to pay the full amount of $22. He was so incompetent that he had lost our original ticket during the discussion with him and the equally unhelpful manager. To top it off we saw this sign when we left for all-day parking for $15 that they could proposed as an option!?

I love this place they are super attentive and the food is amazing the lamb bowl is like the best thing ever if your tired of a chicken, pork or steak dish. They have great customer service and that's what keeps me coming back aside from the food, because that's super important.
