I am frequently homesick for good Mexican food, so it's something I'm always on the lookout for. Beantown Taqueria fills that need more than most places in the area. Last time I was here, I got the flautas. They were ready quickly and a really reasonable amount of food for the money (at least by Boston standards). I've had a burrito and chimichanga here before and enjoyed both. There's minimal seating inside, but enough that you probably won't need to take it to go.

Really great amount of food for an even better price! I spent $15 and was able to add 4 items to my order - and I was incredibly full after eating! The quality was decent too - nothing too over the top but still really satisfying and definitely worth the price: Horchata ($3) - I love that this came in a sealed container instead of a cup with a straw - It was really easy to save in the fridge for a day or so and then to drink and come back to at a later time. It was nice and milky, cinnamon-y, and refreshing. Not the greatest I've had, but definitely the most portable and approachable! Almost like a dessert! Chips ($2) - Nice and crispy without being oily or greasy. I love these types of chips especially with something to dip them in! Guacamole ($1.50) - WHAT $1.50 for guac? What a good price! The serving size wasn't huge, but it was enough for the order of chips. For a total of $3.50 for chips and guac, not sure there's a better deal anywhere else. Breakfast Burrito ($8.50) - This had rice, beans, cheese, potatoes, scrambled eggs, and pico de gallo. It was also HUGE. It was filling, tasty, and though it could have been nice with some sausage or meat in it, adding meat would have increased the price. A burrito of this size for $8.50 is amazing, and there are enough ingredients in this item that it is incredibly satisfying. All in all, 4/5 - the meal I got was so filling and worth the money. It wasn't anything incredibly groundbreaking, but it was a solid and reliable meal that I will definitely get again!

Great tacos, fast service. I usually get take-out. The last time I ordered, I got delivery (via GrubHub). I don't think GrubHub is worth it b/c my tacos were made probably 30 min before they delivered. And then GrubHub didn't tell me that my food had been delivered (to the first floor of my work building) until 10 min after it was delivered. Not much else to say. Beantown Taqueria has great food, and also don't use GrubHub.

Really affordable 2 for 1 tostada Thursday! There are also plenty of hot sauces to choose from and they gave me limes when I requested. All the tostadas are piled high with whatever protein is selected along with beans and vegetables- requesting spicy was indeed spicy! The meats could have used more seasoning and char but they hit the spot.

Really dig this place. Posole, 'nuff said. I've tried most menu items at this point. Nothing has disappointed. Flautas, enchiladas, burritos, tacos, huaraches, tostones....... And they got the steam table going again. And the gal is register is a sweetheart. It's small. Just a front-facing counter seating maybe 5. But Cambridge is takeout land anyway. Get it to go and eat it in the sunshine. You will not regret it.

I have been to Beantown Taqueria many times over the years. To me Beantown is a solid place for legit Mexican food. It is not a trendy place with fancy drinks or fusion food, but the food is authentic, both authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex. The portion are good, and the price has been affordable. I remember the Saturday mornings that I came here for brunch and spent much of the rest of the day walking around to burn off all the calories.
