Taqueria Mexico Beacon Street Closes Doors

Less than two years after opening across the street from the well established and massively popular Anna's Taqueria, the Brookline location of Taqueria Mexico has closed its doors.

Bad location, location, location.

We were weary of the idea from the start, until meeting the El Presidente. Going to miss that for sure.

Still Looking For Huevos Rancheros

You may recall the fruitless quest for huevos rancheros in Boston. Well, dear readers, I thought I had found the end. An end to macaroni and cheese in the morning. An end to cereal (sorry, Chris). An end to longing for breakfast in Los Angeles.

I was wrong.

John and I hit Taqueria Mexico bright and early for two servings of huevos rancheros. It's on the menu. Eggs sunny side up with beans, rice, and tortillas. Surprise! We were given scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Of course we ate it anyway.

Not sure how this happened. What was served was not even on the menu. The huevos rancheros quest continues.

The shirt in the picture is my new favorite. It's from Burrito Blog friends and sponsors The Ryde. Jump on that.

This Taqueria Mexico meal was rated: 4.4.

El Presidente Of The Clean Plate Club

John and I hit Taqueria Mexico with big plans for a big feast. A meal of presidential portions - fitting for President's day.

Lucky for me, Taqueria Mexico has a plate cut out for the job. They call it, "El Presidente" as you may have guessed.

In descending order of deliciousness:

• Chile Relleno
• Chicken Enchilada
• Taco Al Pastor
• Refried beans
• Rice
• Tortillas (not shown)
• Lettuce and Tomato
• Sour Cream

You can' beat a good chile relleno, and the only place in town that can compete is TaQueria La Mexicana in Somerville. At around $10, this meal was absolutely killer.

I am El Presidente of the Clean Plate Club!

Welcome To Taqueria Mexico

In the history of bold moves, nothing tops the location choice of the new Taqueria Mexico. Well, as long as eligible bold moves are confined to taqueria placements.

At 1393 Beacon Street in Brookline (Map), Taqueria Mexico is almost directly across the street from hometown favorite Anna's Taqueria. One could speculate on the motives of this decision for hours, but it's late and I'm here for the beans.

Taqueria Mexico is small, with only three or four booths. Despite the small accommodations, the menu is gigantic. There are all kinds of traditional dishes to try. Or if you're uninterested in deviating from the standard burrito, they have that too.

Many places that have plated meals don't focus on or even offer burritos to go, but Taqueria Mexico has it all. Let's see how it tastes.

There are two other Taqueria Mexico locations in Massachusetts, one on Charles Street in Waltham (Map) and the other on Commercial Street in Lynn (Map).
