Mi Cocina is a family style restaurant that offers to the public authentic Mexican cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The menu has everything you would expect in a Mexican restaurant including burritos, tacos, pupusas, quesadillas, fajitas, carne asada, soft tacos with vegetables or meats, and six different flavors encased in its burritos. The restaurant serves soups and appetizers, also. Desserts include flan, tres leche and sopapilla. With all of those options to choose from it won't be easy to find a favorite. Rumor has it the carnitas tacos are the best, with a two thumbs up for the taco salad served in its own edible bowl.

El Maya is located in what appears to be an unassuming little house off the side of the road but once you've ventured inside the atmosphere is colorful and inviting. The superb service provided by the chef is spoken of by every patron. El Maya gives that something extra in freshness, taste and service. What you will receive for the price will blow your socks off, it won't have anything to do with choosing mild, hot or spicy dishes! Try the nachos, they are fresh and soft til they are fried right before your eyes.

Casa Vallarta
45 Belmont Road
Northborough, MA 01532
(508) 366-2153

Casa Vallarta is hands down one for the family. Yes, you will find everything a classic Mexican restaurant has to offer its menu but the true specials will be found on the children's fare. Reserving a separate menu just for your little ones says something special about Casa Vallarta. For the adults, it's a question of how far you are willing to venture into Mexican tradition, and if that isn't tempting enough. Make the trip in person and you'll easily find your answers. Casa Vallarta's staff available for catering simply contact the manager.

Ricon Latino

Framingham, MA 01702

If you're looking for space this isn't the place, but if you've got your heart set on delicious! Ricon Latino has a simple menu and sparse seating except in the summer when seating is offered outdoors. The service is one-on-one which makes keeping things simple, part of the appeal. Simply authentic and simply priced, this is one of the best restaurants to begin the adventure into Mexican cuisine and some of the more challenging tastes to the palette. Ricon Latino's soups are an absolute hit, and it is rumored the plantains are sweet and not smashed and salted as you may find elsewhere.
