Nice and quiet for a Wed, and I loved it. Service was attentive, and the food was delicious. I ordered the steak and it was seasoned perfectly and tender. Everyone on my table wished they ordered it too when they tried it. The wings and the corn was spot on too.
Saturday, family night out, we’re at Quincy square, why not. 5 of us out for dinner, why not?! Good choice, food was good!! Service a tad slow, BUT, they were busy, so I definitely understand. If you’re hungry or even thirsty for that matter, stop in and give them a try!!! 5 of us with not one complaint! Good and drinks were good!!!
Absolutely loved this place! Nice drinks, food, service and music. Our server who spoke Spanish was so nice and friendly! We actually went twice cuz we loved the place! It is a must when in Quincy Market!
This place is an amazing Mexican restaurant that's got it all! The food is delicious, with authentic flavors. They've got a killer drink menu too, with refreshing margaritas and creative cocktails. The service is great and quick and staff are friendly. Plus, they're open till late on weekends and weekdays, making it the perfect spot for a late-night Mexican feast!
I was in town from Philadelphia with my husband for work looking for somewhere good to eat and who doesn’t love Mexican so after a quick Google search and then an Instagram search, we decided on Mija Cantina. After a very short walk from our hotel, the canopy Hilton we arrived. I did make a reservation online however, it was really not needed on a Monday night. It wasn’t too crowded. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and seated. I would first like to say our server Jose was amazing. He was very friendly, present and fast we couldn’t thank him enough. The food was amazing. Everything was good… I had a jalapeño margarita I think that’s what it was called 10 out of 10.. we had an appetizer of chili lime wings, 10 out of 10 my husband had three taco entrée of chicken Tinga, which I stole a bite of 10 out of 10!! I also had the three taco entrée of shrimp, Carnitas and steak again delicious!! Lastly, my street corn chefs kiss I love me some street corn! If I lived in Boston, I’d probably be there every weekend. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the experience.
Stopped here on the way back home from a trip to Salem and was amazed by how great everything was. From our meals, to our service, the experience was wonderful. The restaurant is super cute, and it was still warm outside when we went so we got to sit on the patio and enjoy the evening. Can’t recommend enough. Also the frozen margaritas were fantastic!
Right in Boston's Faneuil Hall, this place was an unexpected surprise. You think a Mexican place nestled in a touristy area of a place known for chowder and lobster rolls is going to be mediocre, boy were we wrong. Drinks were creative, went with the Painkiller... sweet, spiced, delicious. Guacamole was exceptional, opted for the carnitas tacos with pineapple salsa... hit that with a squeeze of orange... wow. Absolutely amazing. We had 7 people, service was excellent and we all gave the food 5 stars. Don't sleep on this place, it was well worth it.
Good. Lands! This was some GOOD food! We ordered two veggie burrito bowls - one with steak - and chicken Tinga nachos. Everything was fresh and delicious! Service was outstanding and I loved the open, outdoor-feeling of the restaurant. I felt like I was on an island enjoying authentic cuisine! Absolutely delicious and incredibly enjoying dinner!
