Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Great for creative cocktails

After 40 years, my customers still tell me what a delightful discovery it is to step out of a Boston alley and into the heart of Mexico. That is exactly what I had envisioned when I decorated the coffered door and walls of my restaurant with the bright Talavera tiles from Puebla, Mexico. Casa Romero is located in the midst of glamorous Back Bay at 30 Gloucester and offers the best traditional Mexican food in Boston.

This place is amazing! Weird to get to and it’s kind of tight quarters, but 10/10. We tried two different margaritas, and they were both fantastic. My Cochinita Pibil was so freaking tasty!

Service was great, although we were rushed out as the busboy, waiter, hostess were all clearing our table. Food was mediocre, especially for the price. Disappointing since I’ve been going there for almost 30 years (I think it has changed owners, not sure).
