"Somerville’s hit Oaxacan taqueria brings some of Mexico’s most fun ingredients to Boston. The menu pops with enigmatic flavors of nopales in green mole, chopped pork tenderloin in peanut sauce, and an appetizer portion of tiny, crunchy tacos de chapulines stuffed with grasshoppers and chiles." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff

"Everyone should start their meal at Tu y Yo with the tamale combo plate. It comes with five different mini tamales with fillings like chicken and sweet corn, and it will brighten your day. After that, anything’s fair game - the tinga poblana, the pescado en mole verde, or the pastel de nopal are especially perfect for those times when condensation is falling sideways from the sky. Tu y Yo is open for indoor and outdoor dining, as well as takeout and delivery." - Joel Ang

Tu y Yo is a delightful and delicious Mexican experience! The staff were friendly, the food was delicious and there were lots of table space. Highly recommended to go and eat, can't wait to come back! From the menu, we ordered Tortillas, Tacos de Birria, Cochinita Pibil, Guacamole & Chips, Tamales (both Chicken and Pork), and Platanos Fritos. The Tacos de Birria stood out, particularly due to the delicious consommé that accompanied them, which enhanced the overall flavor profile of the dish. Otherwise, everything was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service we received was warm and friendly, with staff members that were friendly and attentive. They accept credit cards and have portable machines to pay at your table. Additionally, parking is available on the street. When we went, they were not overly busy, and had ample room for customers to enjoy their meals comfortably.

We found this while looking for good food to eat and figured the menu looked interesting so we tried it out. We were not disappointed at all!!! The food was amazing, the service was so good and all the servers were friendly and funny! I am so glad we went here. We also finished off with the avocado cheesecake and it was delicious!

Traditional tamales & plantain plátano empanadas - ID say they’re made for Sharing since they were tapas sized Tamales - super combination and variety. Love them all. Would definitely return for the vegetarian variety Platanos - beautifully stuffed and cooked. Crema and extra cheese were a great additional.

Great food at an affordable price! The fish tacos were my favorite, and my partner loved the birria tacos. The tamale sampler is definitely worth getting as well - fun to try a few different flavors. The staff was also exceptionally friendly and helpful

The perfect combination of finest Mexican Food ingredients, seasoned with perfection and LOVE. I travel a lot and this place is one of the best Mexican Restaurants I've ever tasted. Note: Try the Chile en Nogada. Simply delicious!

This was our first time eating at Tu Y Yo and absolutely won’t be our last. As a Californian, I’ve had my fair share of stellar Mexican food, but this place was phenomenal. We ordered tamales (5), soup, a carnitas plate, cactus juice, and avocado cheesecake. My gosh. You know a place is bomb when all you want to eat is their rice and beans. The tamales were extremely moist, the soup was flavorful, the carnitas was tender, and the dessert was rich and not too sweet. All their food was fresh, delicious, and very authentic tasting. Will absolutely be back! Also their in-house hot sauce is extremely good.

Really nice cozy little restaurant in a area that’s a little bit quieter than Davis. The small plates were great .. the tamales sampler was actually pretty good with 3 different styles which were all really good. Plantains were perfect as starter snack..the shrimp tacos weren’t that bad, enjoyed the fresh avocado it came with. Will come back to try the deserts next time for sure.

This was our first time dining here and it definitely won’t be our last. Best Mexican food I have had in the Boston area. The restaurant is cozy and homey. The staff was very friendly and helpful in suggesting items from the menu. The food was absolutely phenomenal. We tried the fried plantains, tamales, Pechugas en Salsa de Chile Poblano, and Nopales con Cerdo. Everything was hot, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. We also tried the horchata, which was spicy and delicious but overly sweet. We will definitely be coming back here again and we look forward to trying their brunch menu.
