Casa Romero

Casa Romero has served Mexican food in Back Bay since 1972, with enchiladas, tacos and fajitas forming the core of its menu. The restaurant’s Gloucester Street address puts it just off the neighborhood’s shopping streets, making it a place to sit down over dinner after an afternoon nearby. Appetizers and salads offer smaller starting points before the main plates arrive.

Tequila and mezcal are a substantial part of the drinks offering, alongside margaritas, other cocktails, beer and sangria. You can make the meal about a particular spirit or simply order something to go with your enchiladas. The restaurant also offers takeout and accepts inquiries for group events. Its long history is real; the most useful reason to visit today is still the Mexican dinner on the menu.
