Citrus & Salt Boston

"We enjoyed this spot serving tasty tapas at a fair price for quality of food, service, and restaurant ambiance. It made for a nice date night spot! We had chips and queso to start, then split the birria tacos (my favorite), carnitas gordita, and ceviche. I loved the birria tacos, generously sized, crisply fried, well marinated and with a tasty jus. The carnitas gordita had a lovely sauce that we just wanted much more of than what was given, plus pork piled impressively high. The ceviche was my least favorite, as it was a different take on the traditional dish and the flavors were both unexpected and not working for me. It felt overcomplicated when I was hoping for a classic, well-executed dish revolving around, well, citrus and salt. While we were seated in a smaller back room with a relatively quiet environment, the main front portion seemed a tad loud for conversation with louder music. Overall, I had mid to low personal expectations being a Texas native with Mexican heritage. My expectations were well exceeded, and we would come back to Citrus & Salt, staying away from what we didn't like and trying some of the more frequently highly-rated dishes."

"The service here is just horrible. Our waiter was extremely rude. The food is overpriced for what you get, minimal options for what to order, small dishes, would not recommend at all. It’s worth going if you’re only looking for drinks and an atmosphere, but the food is just not good. This was our third time here since it’s so popular and I keep thinking to give it another chance since we like buttermilk & bourbon so much, but this just isn’t it. Go for drinks and dessert, not any thing else or better yet- just don’t go at at all."

"Good ambience, food and cozy Mexican restaurant. Reserving a table is recommended. Ordered Fresh made jalapeño chips and guacamole and it was very good, was not very happy with the mushroom taco, dole whip dessert and Strawberry Pina Colada was extremely good."

"I recommend making a reservation for dinner because it gets pretty busy. The ambiance is very lively. This place is tapas style, and the tapas are pretty expensive, so it is better to go as a group so that you can try more things without breaking the bank. The baja fish tacos were my favorite. The biscuits weren't bad either. The hot Cheetos corn and Dole whip were average."

"Omg did we have a blast! First went for late night drinks, then decided to come back in the AM for Drag Brunch! What a fun way to do breakfast! Huge portions and fabulous drinks and service. You won't regret coming here!"
