Yellow Door Taqueria

" Awesome Dawson " Margarita De La Casa I already ate dinner . However I came to find this place ; while walking my dog. I got myself a " strawberry Coconut " Margarita". Recommend by the super nice waitress and it was delicious . The ambience is welcoming and friendly. Even my dog was welcomed on the outside patio with fresh water. They have metered parking or street non meter parking. Just read the posted signs before parking . The prices are reasonable and pretty good for the portion , taste , and freshness of the drinks. The establishment is super clean including the bathrooms . Check out the bathroom pictures, it's like a tropical vacation in the bathrooms .

Overall: I will say coming from LA I always find it hard to justify buying $10+ tacos but let me tell you that these were pretty worth it. Food: not the best birria tacos I've had but my goodness does it hit the spot. Disclaimer I prefer my birria tacos absolutely soaking wet with all the pork fat and the cheese but that's not for everyone. I will say the flavors were spot on and for a good price too. Ambience/Decor/Service: we sat outside and it was really cute with the string lights the yellow patio and all. The service was actually pretty on top of it. Never felt like we were neglected for being outside etc etc.

Ugh, good God why? Worst tacos I've ever eaten. Like what did they even do to these tacos to make them so bad? I like the fusion aspect of tacos and seeing the menu I was not expecting an authentic Mexican street tacos, but these were truly foul. For seven dollars (or eight maybe?) I got an extremely fishy tasting, itsy bitsy, spicy tuna taco. It had no redeeming characteristics. I was hoping for better from the duck taco I ordered, but it was over dry, and had lumps of hard duck meat like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since John Winthrop founded his city on a hill. Did they have heat lamps in 17th century America? Overall, the food was absolutely terrible. Perhaps it was an off day as they have really good reviews on yelp.Two stars for the drinks, service and ambiance, which were all excellent. I would stop in for a drink again, but will skip the food.

*Speaking from an outdoor seating experience*I think eating here was mainly for aesthetic. The food was.. unique. Some items like the nachos were good, but some were personally too experimental for me. The drinks were just okay but nice to look at. Service was great tho! The waitresses were really nice and quirky doesn't really have parking for this location, I got lucky and parked down the block. Cant imagine what it's like on the weekend. I hope the other location is better.

Yellow Door Taqueria in Mission Hill is an extension of the Yellow Door in the South End and I believe there is another location as well. I have only been to the Mission Hill location and have gone there twice now. The first time I went I got 5 tacos (which are huge) because they were that good and I could not stop myself.The tacos here are on the pricier side ($6-$7 per taco), but they are stuffed with filling and much heartier than tacos I have had at Lolita, Bartaco, etc. I have had the queso carne, coconut shrimp, scallop frito, carnitas, fried pork belly, fried fish taco, and the patatas bravas. All of the tacos were very good, but my ultimate favorites are the queso carne and the scallop frito. One thing that I will mention is that most of their tacos have a sweet flavor which I personally enjoy, but I understand why someone would not love it. The scallop, coconut shrimp, fish, and even the queso carne have a little bit of sweetness in them, but I think it adds depth to the flavor. Queso carne is much different than their other tacos because they are filled with meat and cheese and if you're looking for a meaty and hearty taco I would recommend this one.One thing I have not tried are the cocktails (other than the sangria which is good but I am sure not as good as their margs). Randomly, they have very good cold brew if you're going for brunch or need a non-alcoholic caffeine boost.Yellow Door is a great spot but if you have an insane appetite like myself it can be a bit pricey. Regardless, I think their tacos are unique and 100% worth trying. I went the other day and my server Alyssa was so attentive and accommodating and helped me make decisions on which tacos to order. If you like tacos and have tried the popular spots in Boston I am sure Yellow Door will satisfy your taco cravings and maybe offer something unique to what you have had before.

Disclaimer: this is based on ordering delivery, I did not eat AT the restaurant. With that being said, I've never been more impressed by a food delivery. The restaurant packed EVERYTHING individually and in separate containers (the sauces were all separate and labeled for what dish they belonged to), the tacos were in individual taco holders standing upright, and the food arrived HOT. For delivery, I ordered the chips and queso, elote (option for off the cob!!!), patatas bravas, and chicken tinga quesadilla. I thought everything was VERY good!!! The elote had a bit of a kick to it, and the quesadilla tasted soooo good with the addition of chicken and lime crema sauce. Really enjoyed all of the food from here.Would love to dine in here next time!

Food is pretty good! My drink was expensive and pretty little but was yummy. Cute inside, tho incredibly millennial. Always a good spot to go tho and I had a great time

5 stars for the BIRRIA TACOS.. delicious. I've had it for takeout and dine in and they hold up with both. This is the place to go for a birria taco craving.The other tacos were also good but the birria was on another level. The drinks were tropical and strong. Fast service, fun atmosphere.

FINALLY Brigham Circle has a cool place for after work drinks and food. I've happy hour'ed (yes it is a verb) /gotten dinner here a few times now. So I have to give it 5/5 because it filled a void and that is meaningful. The drinks are great. SOOOOOO many margarita options. I'm a sucker for the Jalapeño margarita and they make it extra spicy for me . I'm slowly making my way through the menu. Enjoyed the queso carne, birria, and fish frito tacos. Duck one was a little bland for my taste. My friends loved the mushroom barbacoa. Elote is good. Definitely get the chicken flautas. Staff has always been nice and chill. The restaurant itself has a great vibe. Will update when I try more menu items.

Service was quick, tacos were yummy! Definitely smaller than I expected inside, but cozy. We went for an early dinner and there was no one there really, but it could maybe get louder later in the evening. Tacos were about $7 a piece, which is a bit steep for the size, but the taste was fantastic. I wouldn't come super hungry unless I planned to spend a fair amount. Classic marg cost $15 and was pretty strong. Overall a fun experience and we will probably go back!
