Birria tacos, pozole, tamales, aguas frescas, and more
"A humble East Boston hole-in-the-wall serving authentic Mexican classics with subtle tweaks—like house salsa finished with orange and birria tacos with a small bowl of jus for dipping—plus house-made aguas frescas (horchata, cantaloupe, tamarindo) and Jamaica from hibiscus flowers, delivering vibrant, well-balanced flavors." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon
"An expanded outpost of an essential Boston taqueria that offers a gorgeous Orient Heights location with more seating for dine-in, a full slate of cocktails, and a broader food menu while retaining its street-taco roots." - Erika Adams
"Warm and cheesy with a rich consomé on the side, the slow-cooked, adobo-rich birria tacos at this tiny, old-school Mexican spot tick all the comfort food boxes. Lengua tacos are another crowd-favorite here." - Erika Adams
"Taqueria Jalisco feels old-school, with menu items illustrated with photos of the dishes, but that’s just why people flock there. Birria tacos, invigorating pozole, and more fill this menu of outstanding Mexican flavors." - Erika Adams
"Ask any local about the best taqueria in Boston, and the conversation will inevitably turn to Taquería Jalisco. For nearly 25 years, Bostonians have been packing into this welcoming little spot to get their hands on bowls of belly-warming pozole, tacos stuffed with juicy carnitas, spicy pork tamales, and some truly excellent scoops of rice and refried beans. Top off each order with a sweet, fresh fruit juice, including pineapple or tamarind. Best for: Dropping in for a casual, mid-day meal that hits the spot." - Erika Adams
