🌮 Taco Azul - Boston, MA 🌮
📍21 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02108

Had the absolute pleasure of trying Taco Azul yesterday, and let me tell you, this place is a gem! The ambiance is spot-on—classy with lush green plants and vibrant blue decor that gives the space an upscale yet relaxed vibe. 💙🌱

When it comes to Mexican spots, I always start with the basics: chips, dip, and margaritas. Taco Azul didn’t disappoint! Their blue corn chips were a fun twist, and the homemade guacamole was perfectly portioned for sharing at $14.99. Plus, their Mexican Corn dip paired with the chips was addictive. Definitely a 9/10 for that combo! 🥑🌽

Their Watermelon Sugar Margarita was dangerously good—sweet like a Jolly Rancher but with zero taste of alcohol, making it a little too easy to sip on! 🍉🍹 The drink menu has something for everyone, and the small plates are ideal for sampling and sharing.

Onto the tacos! Though they’re on the smaller side, each one is packed with flavor and super filling. Here’s what I tried:

• Beef Birria: Slow-roasted brisket, citrus red onions, cilantro. So tender and flavorful!
• Skirt Steak: Grilled to perfection with avocado crema and red onions, $6.99.
• Crispy Fish: Beer-battered cod, cabbage slaw, chipotle mayo, $5.99—my absolute favorite! Fresh, crispy, and the chipotle mayo was spot-on. 🌮🔥
• Crispy Avocado: Beer-battered avocado with slaw and chipotle mayo, $5.99. Not my top choice, but perfect for avocado lovers.
• Black Bean & Sweet Potato: Smashed beans, roasted sweet potato, queso fresco, chipotle mayo, $3.99—surprisingly amazing! A great veggie option. 🌱👌
• Quesa-Birria: Brisket, onions, cilantro, Oaxaca cheese, and a delicious consomé, $6.99.

Each taco brought something unique, but the crispy fish stole the show, 9/10! The vegetarian black bean & sweet potato taco was a surprising favorite too—totally worth trying, even for non-vegetarians.

Overall: Taco Azul is a must-visit for taco fans! 🌮✨ I can’t think of a better spot in Boston for classic, flavorful tacos with a twist.
