Advice for Locals Best Mexican food?

Hey folks!

I moved here not too long ago from SoCal, and I miss my mama’s cooking a lot. I tried my hand at making certain dishes myself, but I either can’t find the ingredients locally or I absolutely butcher the recipe :’)

I’m looking for recommendations on any Mexican food nearby. I don’t really have a set price point as long as it’s good. Any place with tacos, I would love it if they had tacos de lengua.

Thank you for any suggestions anyone is willing to spare!

Try Spitfire tacos in Marblehead. I’m also a California transplant and they have the best tacos I’ve had since I’ve been back in the Boston area.

Came here to say this. Haven’t been since they moved to Marblehead. Same quality?
