Elaine CourtneyMarch 19, 2016I don't usually do tacos, but when I do, I Do-rado. Okay, bad pun aside, this place has the best shrimp tacos! Coming from someone who's lived in San Diego for 3 years - THIS IS FORREAL, guys.
Boston.comAugust 4, 2014The fish is meaty and steak-like with lovely charred flavor, and it’s topped with cabbage, crema, and a dark green, tangy tomatillo-avocado salsa that makes the dish. Read more
Chicken tacos here are great, if small and somewhat pricey. They're good enough to make me keep coming back though. And don't forget to drizzle some Dorado hot sauce on there!
Love the portabello mushroom tacos. Grilled fish tacos are better than the battered, imho. The hibiscus tea is fantastic in summer. If you're a Healthworks member, show your card for a 10% discount.
Alec Garza-GalindoFebruary 1, 2015Beer battered fish and shrimp tacos and steak tacos were perhaps the illest. Good Mexican hot chocolate too! Also have a $1.99 fish taco special on Wednesdays after 3pm
A SFebruary 21, 2016The tacos (shrimp, mushroom) will leave you wanting more! And brunch on weekends until 3.. scrambled eggs in your tacos? Oh yes!!- Brett AfrickMay 25, 2011This place is amazing. Everything is incredible. Skip Anna's and Boca and come straight here. Cemitas are incredible. Their White Corn Chips are amazing. Salsa & Guac are the best i've had.
This place could possibly have the best tacos in all of Boston. The sauce is unbelievable. It's like eating Mexican food in California. Go tacos or go home!- The fish tacos here are especially good and I like the chicken as well. Rice and beans aren't the best.
Connie LuAugust 22, 2013Whenever I am craving fish tacos, Dorado is the only place I think of. You can't go wrong.
The Sat & Sun brunch is seriously underrated. Breakfast taco plate with a side of patatas bravas!
Julie T.December 6, 2011This place is incredible. Get the chicken quesadilla with the avocado and tomatillo salsa, you will not be disappointed. Chicken caesar salad is great too.
Lindsay KrellMay 31, 2013Stick to cemitas or tacos, which are delicious (especially paired with a modeling negro), but the taco salad came with some frozen veggies. Yuck!
Have a cemita, a Mexican sandwich. Hard to find those around. The guacamole is also top notch.
Best guac, friendliest staff, and most delicious Mexican food in Boston. Plus has a randomly awesome soundtrack to boot.
Some of the best fish tacos in the Boston area! Try 'em, you won't regret it
Thanh L.August 28, 2012The salsa on the shrimp taco is amazing! Also a huge fan of their grilled fish tacos - fresh and delicious!- Any cemita is great and I highly recommend the seasonal soups, esp the tortilla.
Stella ChayFebruary 1, 2015The steak tacos were good as well as the shrimp tacos but I've had better. The Dorado taco was probably the best thing we ordered.
Elica YoneyamaApril 24, 2014Don't forget their hot sauce which is made out of ghost peppers. Spicy but good. 😱👌
Eat four of the best tacos of your American life and then rub your tummy with true joy.
The best Pico De Gallo in Boston! And the Carne Asada Tacos Rock!
Felipe Gorenstein MassaMay 27, 2010If you like tacos you should come to this place on Wednesdays. Battered fish tacos for $1.99 after 5 p.m. They also serve good Mexican beers and unusual juices. Read more
Every Monday night Dorado Tacos in Coolidge Corner has all-you-can-eat Turkey and Black Bean Chili for just $4.99!
The fis tacos and chicken taco are delicious and perfect with a pineapple ginger agua fresca when they have it
Joseph StuckAugust 17, 2011The breakfast quesadilla with pork is the best breakfast I've ever had. EVER.
Kevin FowlerNovember 9, 2010This month they have Turkey tacos (w/ mashed potatoes & cranberry poblano salsa). They are AMAZING!
- Grab a chorizo cemita; it's all made fresh, in-house and it's incredible!
