Authentic Mexican Food in Boston?

(From Our Questions and Answers Feature)

I just got back from San Diego, which has a good number of excellent Mexican restaurants. There are many good ones out there, such as Bahia Don Bravo in La Jolla, Fidel's in Solana Beach, Coyote Cafe in San Diego, Los Olas in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, La Especial Norte (perhaps my favorite in the San Diego area) in Leucadia, and so many little taco stands and Mexican food shacks up and down the coast. Most, if not all of these are superior to any Mexican restaurant in Boston and the surrounding area.

I guess my question is, where do people go in the Boston area for authentic Mexican food? I have my favorites, including Taqueria La Mexicana in Somerville, El Sarape in Braintree, Mexico Lindo in Melrose, and Cafe Azteca in Lawrence. Are there any others out there?

I haven't been there in a while but I love Ole Mexican Grill (11 Springfield St, Cambridge, MA 02139 (877) 816-9996). They make the Guacamole tableside and it's awesome. A bit on the pricey side but well worth it for the flavor.

We went to Las Palmas de Cuba not too long ago. Same family as the owners of El Sarape...it was really good! Not a huge menu, but great selections for both Mexican and Cuban plates.

Although I am not an expert on Mexican food, as my Texan relatives have implied :? , I really love Zocalo in Brighton. They have chunky guacamole, delicious quesedilla, and the enchiladas were really great. The owners and staff are Mexican. Read my review on www.tishsdish.blogspot.com
