Mexican Restaurants in Cambridge, MA

Cambridge, MA is a long, long way from the border states of Mexico. If you’re located in this cerebral city outside the city of Boston, and you’re experiencing a hankering for the cuisine of Mexico, you may distress that you’re going to have a long wait before you satiate that craving. But, don’t fear, your next quesadilla is not as far away as you think. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in Cambridge, MA, with varying styles and degrees of authenticity.

Hands down, in this humble writer’s opinion, the best Mexican Restaurant in Cambridge, MA is the Border Café, located on Church Street, in Harvard Square. Technically a Mexican Cajun cuisine hybrid, the Border does justice to both with style and flavor. The chicken burros is superb, and you definitely don’t want to miss an order of what is, perhaps, the least mutilated guacamole recipe north of Texas. For a special treat, order the quesadilla with avocado. Delicious.

If in your quest for a Mexican Restaurant in Cambridge, MA you’re looking for the “real thing” in Cambridge, I highly recommend either the Forest Café on Massachusetts Avenue, or Olé Mexican Grill in Inman Square. Both offer down home, authentic Mexican cuisine with incredible variety and taste, and the sangria at the Olé grill is exquisite.
