Food is pretty decent, but unlike most Mexican restaurants chips and salsa are not free, nor are the chips served hot. Really liked the tacos. However service was not attentive at all. Also the soda guns at the bar are definitely not being cleaned properly because the water has a faint Dr pepper taste to it. Cocktails were not good at all.

This place was quite crowded, goes to show it's popularity but we still didn't have to wait. The service was quick. Staff was mostly based on late teenagers but they were efficient and helpful. The food was mouth watering. One of the best burger in Boston area. Will definitely come here again

Went there for lunch to meet a friend i hadnt seen in decades who finally moved to Boston
He is regular at Naco Taco and recommended we go there for lunch. We were seated fast and the menu looked quite good. I ordered a friend chicken tortada sandwich while he got the turkey one.
The chicken was super well cooked and crispy with nice slaw and side of their hot sauce was the icing on the top... Also had a jaritos with the food. Pricing wise it is not expensive and was worth the value
No chips to brgin which is a bummer. If you are.in the area worth a try but not sure would make a trip from Andovers

Great tacos- the fried fish taco is my favorite here, and the steak taco is a close second. The menu isn't very extensive but they cover the basics pretty well. Since I don't eat pork, it's nice to know that the tortilla shells are vegetarian (and even gluten-free!). Great selection of margaritas. Knocked off a star just because they don't offer any desserts here (churros please!!)

Not really my expectations for Mexican food. I thought the salsas for the chips were WAY to sweet, think red and green ketchup. The beef for the carne asada was seasoned like a chili and was again sweet.... I am giving them two stars because the Ahbogado was fantastic! Good spice level with guajillo broth and the pork was appreciated with the right type of seasoning

This was the worst meal ever , me and my girlfriend nearly gaged at the raw chicken bowl and the cold fried shrimp. My girlfriend said “ the only good thing was the soda “ . The lemonade tasted like water and it felt like food came 2 minutes after we ordered it. Shame on the cooks who use microwave in this taco spot. it only gets one star because of the nice lady who served us. Don’t come here unless you seriously have a death wish.

Now that Bartaco's Seaport management has entered a bit of a downward spiral, Naco Taco would be the best taco place in the greater Boston area by default, but thankfully their tacos are full of fresh, flavorful ingredients; their chips and guacamole are tasty without being too salty; and their margaritas are mixed with expertise. Will definitely be back.

I've been to Naco Taco a bunch of times and it's always been great. This time I came on a Monday for drinks. We were required to also order food, so we got chips and guacamole, which did the trick. Usually I'll order a Corona or Modelo, but this time I went with the Michelada Clamato, which was almost like a Bloody Mary, except with beer. It had an interesting kick to it! I'll be back.

As this spot is close to central, I pass it quite often and have been wanting to try it for a while now.
We made reservations for a Sunday dinner and we were seated quite quickly. We had a party of 6 and somehow managed tk get the table meant for 10+ so it was very comfortable and we had the corner to ourselves. The staff however was very hard to get ahold of as they didn't check on us that often, but they later explained that they were pretty understaffed. As a result of this, it took 20 minutes for them to take our order and we eventually had to go up to the cashier ourselves to pay.

Tacos, margaritas, and a huge, spacious patio are just about all I need to be happy. Naco Taco covers all these bases (and did I mention just how big that patio is, especially by Cambridge / Boston standards?!).
A patio reservation is definitely a good idea if you want to be able to sit outside, especially on a nice summer evening. I've been able to grab indoor seating without reservations in the past, but it still doesn't hurt to have one just in case.
Service was pretty solid (there were a couple things where we had to give a friendly reminder about something we were waiting on, but

Foods and drinks are great! Only thing that blocks me from giving this place 4 stars is their service. I always had to wait at least 10 minutes to get our server. And their service is always slow whether it is packed or empty.
Margaritas here are great, I recommend getting street corn, tacos, plantains con queso.

Came here for a last-minute takeout dinner when other plans fell through. Menu is on the pricier side and food isn't the pinnacle. It's not the type of place you'd recommend to a foodie friend. But the location is convenient, the vibes are great, and the food is tasty. Can be very busy on the weekends -- people make reservations for outdoor seating, so don't expect to find a spot outside without making arrangements beforehand.
Yelp says this place has vegan options, but in actuality they are very very limited (as in, only vegan if you remove a lot of ingredients and the sauce

You know how your walking around and have to pee so you go to buy something in a store nearby to justify said bathroom break?
Welp. Only reason why we stopped and ate here was to use the bathroom!!!
Pleasantly surprised by their chips and salsa. The red and green sauce was REALLY GOOD for no reason while I literally licked the red sauce bowl.
The shrimp taco again was good for no in particular reason. All of the items including the sauces had a slight sweet flavor which I will assume is why I liked it all.
Outside seating in this pretty huge side alley ish sort of vibe but without the stinky
