denied service – I decided to give this place another shot and left extremely embarassed and shocked. I went in for a simple appetizer and sangria and was very rudly told that it wasn?t a bar and that we had to order a meal to receive our sangria. I do not see anything under MA state liquor laws implementing that it is illegal to serve patrons a drink without a certain amount of food --more like it is illegal to deny service.
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.
Amateurish, sloppy, unauthentic – I was raised on Mexican food. Tu Y Yo was a huge disappointment. When we entered the restaurant, two teenaged boys peeked out from the kitchen to stare while being seated. Clunky menus fold up/down and side to side (confusing). I was hungry for Enchiladas. Waitress said only for breakfast. (Nobody eats Enchiladas for breakfast!) They had Fried Grasshoppers. No burritos. No Carne Asada. No Carnitas. Listed Tacos or Tamales listed as "deep fried mini tacos" and "mini tamales". ?? We began with... read more
yummy!! – mmm...the burritos are really yummy here! The tacos are amazing too. The service is really quick. We were able to enjoy our meal without being rushed. This mexican restaurant is for you if you're really into authentic mexican cuisine. The price is amazing..can't beat it. recommend it.
This home-styled Mexican restaurant is the area's most authentic antidote to Taco Bell. – The Scene This Somerville fonda, which takes great lengths to stand out from the many surrounding Americanized spots, counts homesick Mexicans, in-the-know foodies and students from nearby Tufts University among its fiercely loyal clientele. The bright room is buoyed by smiling waitresses and lots of sunlight, as well as the pitchers of deliciously fruity sangria that seemingly dot every table. The Food The kitchen churns out several fa... read more
REAL Mexican! – Excellent Mexican food! Best I have had in Boston so far. The tamales are excelelnt, but don't ask for a burrito... Highly recommended.
amaaaazing! – over and over, people kept mentioning that i should try tu y yo. i finally listened and ate there last night. the food was absolutely fabulous! the tamales were rediculous. i could have eaten them all day long. the tinga was also oustanding, super moist and flavorful like super slow-roasted chilis. the flan made me want to kiss someone. it was just that good. the space is somewhat crowded (after we were seated at a small table in the middle, they seated a party of 7 almost right on top of us) but that is a smal... read more
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!
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!
