Genuinely can't believe I have lived in central for so long and have only just tried this place. The outdoor seating was amazing and the food was even better. Some of the best street corn i've ever had. The chips and taco shells were so fresh! Drinks were great and the staff was super friendly.

One of the better tacos you'll get in Boston/Cambridge. All the tacos options are tasty. They make tortillas and chips in house. Their Chips and Guac is great but every once in a long while the chips are slightly over cooked. But don't let that stop you. Probably happened twice, ever, to me. When you call for take out, usually ready when they said it would be. Thumbs up for sure.

There's something about Boston area businesses the more I live here. I'm gonna call it the Cheers effect, because. Basically, when you get to know a place well enough, it starts getting better. Let's be honest with ourselves, Naco Taco isn't the best Naco, nor Taco. It's not the best cocktails. The service...is actually really good, so I'm not gonna complain there. But this place is just really...nice. They have a great patio, enough space inside so it's not cramped like, well, most of Cambridge. And their food and drinks are just quality enough to satisfy. And they've always been accommodating, even when it's crowded, even when I'm bringing in a crew of obnoxious, sweaty runners. That puts them above most other snooty bars in Cambridge. So yeah, the more I go here, the more I like it. Except the chicharrones. Those are always a bad choice.

I went here last week for apps and drinks and enjoyed my experience. The interior was pretty funky and it was nice to be able to get a walk in table for 4 no problem (8pm on a Friday night). The seasonal white sangria was excellent. The chips and guac were great as well. The chicken tacos were pretty good. Our server was not very attentive to our table so things moved slow for us. I still enjoyed my experience overall.

They only have a few vegan options: the quinoa salad and the tofu taco taking off the cheese, to name a few. The tofu taco is stuffed to the brim with sticks of super smoky (but otherwise unseasoned) fried tofu, refried beans, and avocado (we subbed avocado for cheese). They're quite filling so 2 is definitely a solid meal. The quinoa salad was kinda small but pretty tasty. Had a unique sweet sour lime cumin flavor that I'd definitely never tasted before, but it was pretty good. Would return if other people wanted to come here as a group, but I definitely wouldn't seek it out as particularly amazing vegan food.

I have to say that when I reviewed Naco Taco last it was for take-out for late night tacos, so I had not yet experienced outdoor or indoor seating here. Getting a large group together is inherently difficult, but I was glad that the GM accommodated us for such a busy time (cinco de mayo), and for a group number that ended up fluctuating by a couple at the end. The outdoor patio seating definitely seems more fun and festive- so get seated out there if possible. I let my friends take the lead on the share-ables. Guacamole for both sides of the table, & a pitcher of spicy margaritas was a good call- and we completely finished both. Everyone, for the most part, got tacos. The concise menu helps with deciding. Me and my friend's favorite was the shrimp, which was surprising- I thought the meat tacos were going to be my favorite. The service could have been a little more hands on. People got some additional margaritas and mocktails, and I think that the large order may have led to a little bit of confusion for the waitstaff, but it was no big deal. The only issue my boyfriend was a little frustrated by was how they rushed us out at the end while we were paying and as we were walking out and waiting for a friend to get out of the bathroom.
