Ate here with family. We had a reservation, and when we entered it was mostly empty but very quickly filled up with the dinner rush. I would recommend making a reservation. The food was great, I’d had their mole as takeout before and was still thinking about it months later. We had micheladas, which they can make with nonalcoholic beer. We tried the fried avocado which was interesting, but not spectacular. The mole with chicken was spectacular, as well as the fish tacos. We also tried Chile en nogada, and enmoladas. I highly recommend getting the elote as a side. The servers were very friendly and came to the table often. The water they served us was not cold though. Great experience overall.

I am Mexican and I am not easy to satisfy with Mexican Cuisine. This place was a great and unexpected good surprise! Far away from the mexican border you can find here original flavors served in a gourmet style. Great food and great service! Congratulations to Acitron and Salud!!!!

Latina here, new to Boston. I’m happy to report that I’ve found my go to Mexican restaurant. It’s so rare to find good authentic Mexican food in the north of US but this is definitely it. The fish tacos are a must! Drinks are watered down but still good. Service is good. 9/10 recommend this place and will return.

From the moment you walk in, the smell of authentic Mexican Cuisine is in the air. You are greeted with a friendly smile and welcomed to deliciousness. We were seated right away at the table for 3. Ordered a Margarita, Mojito, and a Shot of Tequila Reposado. The Drink menu had a vast Variety of top of the line Tequilas, Mescal

I’ve had my eye on wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and when an impromptu birthday bash came together, we all agreed to a visit. With a party of 8, they were able to accommodate us when we called ahead, even though the cozy little restaurant was nearly packed for the Saturday night. The service was very nice and most of all, their birthday celebration far exceeded expectations!! We were smiling and laughing. Overall we had a wonderful time, and everyone enjoyed their food and drinks too.

Acitron Cocina Mexicana is a nice Mexican restaurant. My wife and I both had chicken fajitas. The fajitas were tasty and the portions were good size. Other restaurants put way too much salt in the fajitas but not Acitron Cocina Mexicana. It was nice to actually taste the chicken, sauteed peppers and onions. We will definitely go back to eat.

Went to try this place after driving by & it caught my eye. Inside is pretty small dining area not much room to move when it’s busy, although they do have an outdoor seating area but it was a pretty cool day so we dined inside. The food was not bad, the rice was a lil salty & beans tasted like usual canned beans. The best part I would say were the enchiladas & fish tacos as they had more flavor & tasted like actual Mexican food. The drinks were really good I would def. Recommend. Overall it’s not a bad spot to go to eat but would go when it’s not busy to enjoy The experience more.
