Casa Romero

About this business

Casa Romero is an ideal location for couples and anyone seeking some serenity with their salsa. The outdoor courtyard is gorgeous in nice weather, and the attractive Back Bay clientele make for prime people-watching anytime. The restaurant is actually tucked away in a basement on a side street of Newbury Street, and the food sells itself. The seafood is first-rate, and the meats also impress. Quench your thirst with a pitcher of sangria or a salty margarita for the ultimate Mexican dining experience.

Authentic Mexican – I have been to the Casa a dozen times and I am very impressed with everything there. Only the freshest ingrediants are used and every dish seems to be perfect.The decorations of the restaurant make you feel like you are in Mexico. It doesn't get better than the Casa.

"Bad to the Bone" – I should have sensed the red flags when I saw the entrance was located in a public alley. Although the service was very friendly, the decor of the place was dingy and slightly musty looking (I hesitated to sit by the wall, as I was afraid a termite might pop out). My broiled shrimp entree was poorly presented and looked like a gloppy mess. The shrimps were nicely plump, but lacked proper seasoning (unless the soupy swampy-green puddle was supposed to function as the dip). Short on time, we decided to forg... read more

New Years Disgrace – DO NOT TRUST THIS RESTAURANT! They advertised a 4 course pri fixe menu for New Year's Eve. We made reservations WEEKS in advance. We called a cab to take us there for our 7:30 reservation and there was a sign on the door saying "Closed dur to water damage." NO PHONE CALL or posting on their website alerting customers to this at all on New Year's Eve. Obviously there were no other places to go that were not already full! DO NOT GO HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! They are inconsiderate and frankly, not worth... read more

This labor of love lures devoted diners down a nondescript alley in the Back Bay for standout Mexican cuisine. – The Scene More than 30 years ago, Leo Romero decided against following in his family's political footsteps and opened this gem of a restaurant in an alleyway between Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue. Romero's award-winning cuisine--a taste of which vindicates his career choice--is complemented by his restaurant's lovely interior: exposed brick, imported tiles and colorful artwork make this one of the city's ... read more

Destination for Mexican, Most authentic atmostphere Casa Romero is definitely a destination restaurant in Boston. If not for the authentic mexican food which is superb, the decor and funky mystery of its back bay alley location is worth the trip alone. Right off the Hynes convention center T-stop, it's worth it to make a night out of going there. They have one of the sweetest garden patios in the city. Cluttered, colorful, and lined with plants, I can't recommend it enough, especially on a warm summer week night!

Awful service....... awful manager – Awful service. I know it was 5 de Mayo but it is a business. You're supposed to figure out how to meet customer's needs, not supposed to assume people would expect worst service because it is a holiday. I talked to the manager about the bad service and he told me that I was supposed to understand about their underperformance because it was a high peak season. I was in a 20 people group, very frequent clients and we're not coming back EVER.

GREAT authentic Mexican It's ok if you don't like spicy food. Authentic Mexican prepared by mexicans (I believe) and served by mostly a mexican staff does not have to be spicy. Try this restaurant, you won't be dissapointed. If it's warm, ask to sit outside!

What a surprise! – What a pleasant surprise. I went out to dinner at Casa Romero with some friends for a birthday party, and this dining experience was not at all what I was expecting. After all of the terrible Mexican food I've had here in Boston, I expected another run-of-the-mill Tex-Mex kind of restaurant. The food was so authentic, and the margaritas are to die for! I will be sure to come back. :-)
