Taquería Jalisco · East Boston
20-plus years in East Boston. Birria tacos and fresh tortillas made on-site.
Angela's Cafe Eagle Hill · East Boston
Homey East Boston institution the Globe credits for traditional Puebla cuisine. Soft corn tortillas filled with pork, steak, and shrimp.
Esquite: Mexican Street Food (Revere Beach Station) · Revere
From Puebla native Angela Atenco Lopez. Birria, cochinita pibil, and Mexican street food.
Barra · Union Square
A Mexico City-rooted spot in Union Square, Somerville where blue corn tortillas are handmade and salsas are ground fresh in a mortar. The panko-breaded crispy shrimp taco stays light enough to let the seafood shine, and al pastor fish tacos built on blue cod or red snapper with grilled pineapple are worth ordering seconds of.
Casa Verde Taqueria · Jamaica Plain
A Jamaica Plain taqueria known for eclectic vegetarian tacos alongside its meat options, all on corn tortillas made fresh every morning. The crispy yuca taco, filled with fried croquettes and topped with pickled kale curtido, and the pomegranate-flecked fried Brussels sprouts taco are standouts.
