Excellent food! This old world Mexican restaurant features old photographs, traditionally dressed waitstaff, and a simple, yet excellent menu. Each dish comes with rice and black beans, and the portion sizes are quite reasonable. If you're looking for a burrito or chips and salsa, look elsewhere!
Bienvenidos! Tu Y Yo is the best Mexican restaurant in the area. They serve authentic cuisine. I have yet to try the grasshoppers but I dare you too. I am sure they are just as tasty as anything else on the menu. I always try the special and have never been disappointed.
Truly authentic Mexican This ain't burritos. It's true Mexican fare, and it will amaze you. If you thought Mexican meant standard tortillas, think again and try Tu Y Yo! Amazing food!
Never AGAIN! – We had dinner last night. I know quite alot about the Slow Food movement; I had no idea however that it meant no seasoning or flavor profiles. My fried grasshopper tacos were burnt shells of taquitos (flour not corn as advertised) with what appeared to be mushed up bits of grasshoppers. Don't order this until you have had a chance to know what truly great treats fried grasshoppers can be in Mexico! My pork carnitas were a joke, absolute mush again with no seasoning. Mushy rice, mushy beans. Great place for bla... read more
What used to be good, gone downhill – Over 5 years ago, we discovered this lovely joint in Davis Square. We were faithful patrons for the following years until 2 years ago, when we started having bad experiences. The servers are rude, not knowledgable about the menu, don't refill your drinks, and often, we sit for 10 or more minutes before even being greeted and brought water. The menu doesn't change much, however, the dramatic increase in prices over the past 3 years has been really surprising. The quality of their food has... read more
Didn't remind me of Mexican food – I was born and raised in Mexico and just about the only thing that reminded me of Mexico in this place were the names of the dishes. The food was not even remotely typical Mexican and despite the owner'sa claim to being Mexican I didn't find them to be knowledgeable at all about Mexican cuisine. NOT recommended or at least not as a Mexican restaurant!!!
Excellent food, unique and tasty!! – This little place in Powderhouse square is a gem of a place. The people who are dissapointed go there with wrong expectations. If you want Tacos, Burritos or Quesedias at a cheap price, go to Anna's Taqueria in Davis Square. If you want just a drink go to other bars in Davis. I have enjoyed every meal there. Only one appetizer dissappointed, the crepe with the fungus that grows on corn. The boraccha is great and so is shredde pork and the stuffed cactus paddle. The Sangria is tangy and th... read more
Definitely NOT $...try $$$ – The food here was pretty good. Authentic menu, although a little limited. The biggest disappointment is that this website listed the restaurant as costing $...it's definitely NOT CHEAP. I thought it was pretty overpriced. About $17 average per plate. Worth trying once, but not in a rush to go back.
Best Mexican! – The food is amazing! We started off with the tamales for appetizers. My favorite was the fish tamale. I had tried some on a trip to Mexico and last nights were better. I had a shrimp & octopus dish that was out of this world. I was a little hesitant about the octopus at first but am glad my partner convinced me to try it. The Sangria was also very tasty. I had no room for desert but my date was quite satisfied with the flan. Service was very good!
