Taco Mex Restaurant — Restaurant in Boston

Went in here tonight to grab some food with my girlfriend. Never had any problems here beforehand until tonight. Walked in and asked if we could sit at the booth and the waitress said sorry a party of 2 have to sit at the chairs here, ok that’s fine. Look around and there’s plenty of booths with only two people. Then it had been 10 minutes of us waiting to even be greeted, nothing. A group of 3 walk in and sit next to us at a booth, they are served immediately. An older gentleman walks to the front and asks if he can sit outside, he is also served immediately. At this point we can tell they don’t want to served us for some reason. Then when we really paid attention my girlfriend was the only black person in the restaurant. Whether this was racism or not it’s unacceptable to serve 2 parties who walk in after us, and I call a spade a spade. The times I went by myself I have never had trouble maybe it’s because i’m a white male 🤷🏻‍♂️, either way they will not be receiving my business anymore. Cactus Grill across the street and La Hacienda are just as good...

Go for: A welcoming refuge with hearty portions of Central and South American dishes.

Avoid if: You're looking for a personalized, attentive dining experience.

Something surprising: The plantain and pork belly come with most entrees.

Reservation needed? No, but you'll probably have to wait for a table at peak meal times.

Overall Experience: 3/5. It's a cool hole-in-the-wall spot and they often open the windows in the summertime, which is nice. The portions were great but the food definitely seemed mass-produced, and the service was mediocre at best.

HORRIBLE SERVICE DO NOT GO! Literally just sat down outside to eat after we used the restroom. I told the hostess before we went to use the restroom that we were going to be sitting outside. For about 5 to 10 minutes nobody came to speak to us to ask us what we wanted for drinks or appetizers. So by then the other person with me went inside again to remind them. While that was happening, two other parties came in after us to be seated outside and she took care of them instead of us first who had already been sitting waiting outside. One of the parties was so big she asked us to move from the table we were already sitting in before taking care of our needs when we had been there first. so we ended up leaving. And...
