Top Boston, MA Four Star Mexican Restaurants

Looking for some fine, authentic Mexican dining around Boston? You won't have to look very far with the restaurants listed below.

Ole Mexican Grill - http://olegrill.com/

11 Springfield Street
Cambridge, MA

Open Monday - Thursday 5:30 PM - 10 PM; Friday - Saturday 5 PM - 11 PM; Sunday 10 AM - 3 PM, 5 PM - 9:30 PM

This award-winning restaurant serves original Mexican dishes, some of which are also unique to other restaurants, along with a variety of some of the best margaritas and fresh guacamole made right at the table.

Food prices are moderate, hovering around the $20 area for entrees and $8-10 for appetizers, but the very high quality makes this a bargain.

The atmosphere is very colorful and lively, with brightly colored walls and decorations and a busy bustling atmosphere, embracing a truly Mexican feel. Dress is casual, but dressing up nicely definitely does not look out of place.

Tu Y Yo - http://tuyyomexicanfonda.com/

858 Broadway
Somerville, MA

Open Monday - Thursday 5 PM - 10 PM; Friday 4 PM - 10 PM; Saturday 10 AM - 10 PM; Sunday 10 AM - 10 PM

A Mexican Fonda, which is untypical of most generalized "Mexican" establishments. You can forget finding burritos in a place like this, and instead come across some quality Mexican home-cooking. A wide variety of seafood, meat, and vegetarian dishes are available. Tasty Sangria, wines, and beer are also served.

Tu Y Yo embraces the "slowfood" ideal that is slipping away more and more from our society and replaced by much less authentic fast food.

The cost isn't particularly cheap, with meals under the Mom's Cuisine category ranging from $15 - $20. But if you want authenticity, then this is a great deal.

The surroundings are very lively and yet comforting at the same time, capturing the feel of real Mexican dining at its best. The staff is very friendly and curteous.

Casa Romero - http://casaromero.com/

30 Gloucester Street

Open Sunday - Thursday 5 PM - 10 PM; Friday - Saturday 5 PM - 11 PM

Award-winning cuisine is served at this fine dining experience of authentic Mexican food. Pulling away from the popular burritos and quesadillas of most Mexican restaurants, Casa Romero offers a variety of cultural meals you may have never had the chance to enjoy.

The food isn't cheap here, with meals ranging from $15 - $30, but for a fine night out in a romantic atmosphere with gourmet food, this could be considered a great deal!

Cactus Club - http://www.bestmargaritas.com/

939 Boylston Street

Open Monday - Tuesday 4 PM - 2 AM; Wednesday - Sunday 11:30 AM - 2 AM

For more of a club atmosphere with a Tex-Mex spin on things, the Cactus Club offers some delicious Southwestern-style food in a very lively setting. Aside from the good food, Cactus Club features a variety of award-winning margaritas in some unique flavors, and more than 20 different types of Tequila.

Pricing is moderate but reasonable for the food's quality and wonderful environment, which sets a nice relaxing mood and creates the perfect spot for hanging out with friends or a fun date. The service is usually outstanding, but understandably slower when it gets really busy, which can happen pretty often as this restaurant doubles as a popular hang out.

Some added bonuses of the Cactus Club are half-price appetizers from 4 - 7 PM (only from Monday - Thursday) and a free taco bar every Sunday from 10 PM to midnight.
