El Tacuba

"Food tastes great but potions are too small. The ambience is fantastic, drinks and service are excellent! Welcome to Medford square, it’s nice to finally have a nice tequila bar here in the neighborhood!"

"Fantastic small Mexican dishes. We ordered six or seven different things and all of them were good, but the real standouts were the corn appetizer and the tuna tostada. Just exquisite. This is not typical cheap Mexican-American food but is from a place that's aspiring to be a nice restaurant. That said, we had a great meal with a lot of dishes for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back. The dining room is quite hip and looks like it should be in the city of Boston and not in sleepy little Medford center, but I can work with that. We had reservations for 6:00 and there were a few other diners seated, but by the time we left shortly after 8:00 the place was absolutely mobbed. And that was on a Tuesday. Definitely worth a visit and prepared to have a great meal."

"Great margaritas, delicious small plate dishes. My recommendation is to order chips with the ceviche because the flavor is so strong! Also, order 1-2 dishes at a time, they come out quickly and that gives you a chance to pace yourself. We showed up at 5:30 and we were seated immediately, it was packed when we left! This is the best flan I’ve ever had!"

"This is a Mexican style tapas place but it misses the mark completely. Drinks were not memorable and took about a half hour from ordering to receiving and to add insult into injury the drinks received weren't what we ordered. They adjusted the bill to account for this. The food was better than average but the serving size was tiny even for tapas but the presentation of the food was good. I wouldn't mind the miniscule servings if the price was in line with the quality/taste of the food. Usually in tapas, a dish is served that one can share amongst people but in this case the dishes came out randomly and some were not sharable. (You cannot share a taco the way it's served here.. maybe they needed to be a little more creative). We were a party of 4 and even though we attempted to embrace the sharing the dishes came out so sporadically that at times one person was just eating alone. People should enjoy food together and I understand the restaurant is new but if you can't get that right then the dining experience suffers no matter how good the food is.(and unfortunately the food here was mediocre)"

"As a long time resident of Medford, El Tacuba is a great addition. It has a great ambience, friendly service and amazing options of drinks. Food options are small plates, think tapas style. Everything we had was great. Highly recommend it."
