"Closed following its temporary pandemic-related shutdown in March. Rebranded to Mezcala Tex-Mex Grill in early 2020. General manager Steve Harnish noted the closure on Facebook, mentioning the difficulty in finding a path forward." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Zuma Tex-Mex Grill is a longstanding casual spot offering Tex-Mex cuisine, including $4 fried mac and cheese. The Boston-based B.B. Kitchen operates this restaurant, which trademarked its name in 2002. The restaurant experienced confusion and financial losses due to the naming conflict with the nearby Zuma Japanese Restaurant." - Terrence Doyle

Solid Mexican food and drinks at very reasonable prices. The location is great in Quincy Market (North Market) and is located in the basement level so it seems a bit quieter. Portions are generous for the price, food is tasty, but your standard Mexican with a few adventurous dishes. You won't find the more traditional dishes like tamales here but it hits the spot. They have a wide selection of margaritas for all prices and tastes and service is fairly quick. A good place to stop with groups.

The food was okay, the sauces made the dishes better. The Zuma Chicken Wings needed more sauce and the Firecrackers (fried, cheese stuffed jalapeno) was a little bland, but bulky. However, the prices were reasonable.

Been here many times over the past couple of decades and it never disappoints. The food is good, not amazingly good, but good. The portion sizes are generous especially considering the very reasonable prices. Compared to the pricing of the other nearby restaurants it's actually VERY inexpensive. A free order of warm chips and tasty salsa starts it off. Margaritas/beer by the glass or pitcher also very reasonably priced. The service is usually somewhere between decent to really good depending on which server you get. Cozy little spot in the basement of Faneuil Hall. Photos include my go-to order of a ½ BBQ chicken with 2 sides (mashed potatoes & grilled vegetables this time). Comes with corn bread and a watermelon slice all for $8. Yup, only eight bucks in the heart of Boston. Add a house margarita for $5.50 and that's a steal. The place is empty in my photo because we got there in between the lunch/dinner crowd. By the time we left at 5ish it was packed. So you might have to wait depending on what time you go because it's not that big. Look the bright yellow flag and head on downstairs.

A pretty average mexican restaurant located in the Faneuil Hall marketplace. Service wasn’t the greatest and it was relatively loud. On the plus side, we did not have to wait very long to get a table, and the house margaritas were reasonably priced. In fact, the whole of the menu is reasonably priced, which is a pleasant departure from most restaurants in the Faneuil Hall area.

We decided to visit this restaurant after our day out of site seeing in the cold. It's right near the Quincy Market place. Pretty easy to locate. We ordered basic chicken fajitas and a burrito. Food was strictly okay. Fajitas had no flavor. Burrito covered all the ingredients. Nothing spectacular. Food prices are pretty decent considering the neighborhood.

Cute place at Faneuil hall that is open late everyday! The food is good but nothing incredibly special. The interior is cute but can be messy (not as a surprise since they serve drinks and there’s a bar).

Kinda disappointed with the food. The margarita was served in a regular plastic glass cup. Guacamole tasted below average. Wouldn't come back for sure.

We loved Zumba Tex Mex Grill. Great food and great service. I wish they had some Alabama sweet tea. Great chip and salsa.
