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.

    I am a longterm customer but I was (once again) disappointed in the service and food tonight. I ordered for myself and guest, so that she did not have to shout her order across the table, and we happened to have the same order. The waiter misunderstood that I was ordering the same item for each of us, assumed my guest was not ordering anything, and then brought one of each item out for me only. When I corrected the order the waiter became defensive and argued with me about what I said, instead of being professional and acknowledging a miscommunication and moving on. Soon after that he returned to let us know our order of fish tacos were out. We found it hard to believe that 15 minutes prior it was available, but after this mishap it was not. We ended up ordering other items that were rather bland and disappointing, just underwhelming. Lastly, we never had our waters refilled until we paid and asked for it. The drinks were filled with too much ice and watered down.

    Delicious drinks, authentic guacamole, fresh ingredients… a recipe for success. Delightful ‘hole in the wall’ location belies funky interior design. Will definitely return!

    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.
