About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Lively

At Yellow Door Taqueria, we are serving up traditional & contemporary Mexican cuisine with a New England Spin. Our traditional tacos each have an individual twist and they're all served on the tortillas we make fresh every morning. We offer a full bar and have a stacked drink menu including several different kinds of Margaritas, an extensive tequila, and mezcal list, as well as carefully craft cocktails. If you're not into the hard stuff, no worries, we have mocktails, Mexican sodas, beer, wine, and more!

This is our original location which lives in the heart of Lower Mills, Dorchester. We are right in between our two sister restaurants Lower Mills Tavern and Madre Osteria & Bar - Perfect spots to grab a drink before or after your reservation!

Our other locations reside in Boston's South End at InkBlock and Boston's Mission Hill.

We are open 7 days a week for dinner & for brunch on the weekends!

Bar seating is first come first serve Fridays and Saturdays from 4pm to 9pm.

My husband enjoyed his Birria tacos. I had a Queso Carne and a Coconut Shrimp taco. They were both delicious. He ordered a Classic Margarita, and I got the Mini Marg Flight. All of the margaritas were good. My favorite being the coconut. I like that fact that it's close to home. And I would go back again.
