Excellent mexican food and atmosphere! There were 6 of us and everyone enjoyed their meals, I had tacos and my wife had the burrito bowl, both great, The chips and salsa were brought out quickly and were delicious. The deserts were great, especially the flan! Excellent service as well.

I think this is one of the funnest Mexican restaurants on the North Shore! It is small but very quaint and run by exceptional staff. The cooks prepare phenomenal authentic Mexican fare and the bartenders make the meanest Margaritas! The prices are reasonable too. I most definitely will be back! 🙂

Great place to eat! Employees are very friendly and helpful. The menu is more of an ‘esoteric’ type of Mexican food. Not a traditional type; includes various meats and fishes, including pork belly, tuna, and cactus. Great cocktails and special margaritas. More high top tables than regular, and a nice large horseshoe bar to sit and eat.

Honestly there isn’t better authentic Mexican food in all of the north shore, dare I say the whole Boston area! The food is top notch, the service is impeccable, and the tequila selection is hard to beat! Great job to everyone one there! Thank you!

A really pleasant dining experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all great. The only thing that wasn’t excellent was the drinks, which were middle of the road.

Some of the absolute best Mexican food I’ve had, and with impeccable service! The Miguelito’s Shrimps, the Poblano Chimichanga, the Adobo Taco, and the Churros were all incredibly delicious! A must try when you visit Gloucester!

This is a great spot, I’ve had excellent experiences eating in and out. My only complaint is that the takeout portions seem to be a bit smaller than the restaurant ones for the burritos especially. Eh, what can you do. It’s delicious.

Great family owned place that has the best Mexican food on the north shore. I honestly haven’t had a plate of nachos this good since I was in SoCal years ago. Great staff and popular with the locals. Definitely worth a visit. Parking is easy at the municipal lot just down the road.
