Reviews for El Barrio Mexican Grill in Dorchester Center, MA

Hate to say this but this place has become terrible. Gave them a few more tries before leaving this review, but they?ve failed... me time and time again. The food is cold every time I get it, birria consomé seems watered down, steak is chewy, special orderinstructions are ignored, food overall doesn?t have much flavor. There is no love in this food and it shows! I?m not sure whatchanged but it?s just been really bad for the past year and it?s a shame because this used to be one of the few good Mexicanspots in the area. Read more

Love how the inside of the restaurant looks! Not a lot of seats so not the best for dine in but waiting for your food is plenty... of time to take in the environment. I used an app to get my food so the price I got probably doesnt apply. Read more

Worst burrito I ever tried. I was excited to try this place because I always walk past on my way to work. Ordered a steak... burrito. The steak was cold and tough. (Inedible) Also very little portion inside a gigantic tortilla. Cheese was nearly frozen.No retried beans as I order and the rice was tasteless. Never again so disappointed. Read more

I ordered a steak nacho bravo, and I was very disappointed. I did lift the bottom to see if there were any chips in there, and... there were a bunch of broken pieces. I usually order this all the time. And this go round, it was terrible. Soggy cold andthe steak was gummy. Smh, I also called an hour after they opened, so not sure why the quality was highly disappointing. Read more

I eat here three times a week. I love this place! Excellent food at excellent prices. Great vibe. Great people.

Cozy spot for lunch. Food was good, staff was pleasant. Smaller than I thought, no table service ( order and pick up at counter,... clear your own table). Good guac. Drink was delicious, but a bit pricey for the size. Read more

The place is small and not a ton of seating. The staff is very friendly. The food in my opinion is over prices. You get a... very small order for what you pay for the yucca frita. I would have never ordered it if I knew how little you get, very stingyamount. The tacos were okay, I dont like how you have no idea what they decide to add until you get it because I would havesaid, no onions and have added other ingredients. My favorite was the queso empanada. The margarita was delicious as well. Iwill probably never return here. Read more

The decor is beautiful . Welcoming atmosphere. We had very pleasant customer service. We ordered 2 crunchy tacos a beef n bean... burrito and 2 waters. After tip it was a fast $20. kind of on the pricey side but the food was authentic . You can watch it bemade while enjoying traditional music. Read more
