About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Lively
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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Casa Romero, a hidden gem off Newbury Street, is celebrated for its "amazing guacamole" and "incredible" Mexican cuisine. Guests appreciate the "vibrant and exciting" atmosphere and attentive service. Although some find it "a bit pricey," the "delicious margaritas" and "fantastic carne asada" make it a must-visit spot.

    These were the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. The margs did not skimp and the whole meal was a solid 10. Incredible.

    Casa Romero is a neighborhood favorite. We love their margaritas and chicken enchilada verde. Last night Jose was our server and did a great job. Thanks for another fun evening, Casa Romero

    We dined on cinco de mayo so expected crowds and lots of noise. While the service was good, the food was very disappointing starting with the bland guacamole and the unfulfilled request for additional salsa. The enchiladas were drowning in brown sauce. Missing the sizzle, the translucent shrimp fajitas were served in a bowl of tepid sauce. The chicken fajitas were served in a crock pot also without sizzle. Suggest Casa Romero get back to what made them a great neighborhood restaurant.

    The atmosphere was very nice and enjoyable but the music was so loud you couldn’t carry a conversation. Cinco de Mayo was a smaller menu, the food was good but not worth it as the prices were higher and portions smaller.

    The food and the service were outstanding, but the noise level was beyond energetic—it was excruciatingly loud with people literally screaming. Finding parking was a huge hassle too. Next time we’ll aim for early weekday afternoon instead of a Saturday night and see if that helps! But no complaints about food, drinks and service. The mole enchiladas, steak tips and stuffed shrimp were excellent.

    Delicious food! We sat outside on a gorgeous evening on the little patio. The ceviche and the shrimp with cilantro sauce were light and lovely!
