La Victoria Taqueria in Arlington - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was excellent and did not take time. Very authentic flavours. It has a “hole in the wall” vibe which suits

I find it to be a bit expensive, but the flavor is great, so I regularly order takeout.

Having been to Mexico on several occasions in the past, I have learned to appreciate the quality of Mexican tacos, so trying to enjoy them in an environment completely outside of their place of origin was not my best dining experience. Without thinking a cent, in Euzkadi, I stay and enjoy Basque food.

I like this place....I be back definitely

The quality of food is ok but the portion is small compare to its price.

I really do like this place and order it once every couple weeks. The tacos are great, the burritos/quesadillas are OK, and I've never ordered a torta. I usually go with a burrito which are inconsistent but I've noticed the protein matters. I recommended the chicharron. Also, the last several times I've asked (and paid) for guacamole, sour cream, and cheese to be added to my burrito or tacos and I swear they are not adding it. Paying $4 for nothing, hence my 4 stars.

With rising food prices and declining quality at big chains like Chipotle, La Victoria in Arlington stands out. This family-owned gem offers low-cost Mexican bowls packed with the flavor that Chipotle has lost. For delicious, budget-friendly Mexican food, La Victoria is a must-visit. Join me in tracking down the best bites!

This is a better version of Chipotle. It's not as salty as Chipotle, and they know how to fold a burrito correctly. Pretty affordable and quick. I didn't get a chance to try any other meat besides barbacoa, but they did have beef tongue.

So good!!! Pork tacos are to die for

Super pleasant and accommodating staff. I made an error when ordering and they helped correct, and with a smile. Chips & salsa & guac recommended. Tacos and burritos and flan, too! Fresh ingredients. So yummy.

With no doubt, the best Mexican food in Arlington and surrounding (btw, I am mexican) and I found La Victoria to be super authentic. My recommendations, the tongue tacos, the Torta del Chavo and the Horchata water!

Normally pretty good, but went there on a Friday, had to wait 20 minutes for my order. When I got home I took a bit out of my burrito and it was not what I had ordered at all. Nothing close!

Small place but great flavor of food. The staff is always working hard and the meals how you like them. I know many families that eat here and I go for lunch often.

Absolute gem. Chicharron / pork chile verde tacos to die for - everything was fresh, including the chips and guacamole. Bang for your buck all around, for example they do not skimp out on the guacamole. Will definitely return, and check out their tortas next time as well.

Delicious tacos and great salsas. Staff is super nice. Read everywhere this is the best taqueria in Boston and it’s not quite on par with California tacos

Exceptional barbacoa torta - definitely will be back to try out everything else on the menu 🥰

Favorite taco spot around middle Middlesex county. Consistent— carnitas and chorizo are my top taco choices. Tortas are excellent. Very small inside.

Amazing Mexican food with excellent ingredients. Big portions for the price. There is not much seating so don't plan on eating there.

Love the food here! Friendly staff, great food and quick service.

Great spot. Delicious food, reasonably priced. wish they offered water in something smaller than a 2 liter bottle, ideally just a cup of water, soda is your only other option for a beverage. Overall, great spot, highly recommend it.

Very solid tacos. In fact some of the best in Boston. -1 star only because not the type of place you want to actually eat in but more as a to go. During warmer months the outdoor tables are fine otherwise keep in mind the inside isn't overly attractive and has just a couple tables. Overall I would recommend for sure if you want to grab some food on the go

La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!

Good tacos and very full portion

Since I’m Spanish ,first hand I know good tasting Spanish food and it was honestly trash. Bland and not appetizing at all. Not real Mexican food more like Americanized Mexican bland food. Save your money go to chipotle trust me.

Delicious everything i recommend the burritos for a amazing price a must go in Arlington

Been here many times. A mostly take-out hole in the wall. Usually quick, although I was there last night and it was very crowded and slow. Inexpensive soft tacos.

Was craving a burrito around my area couldn’t find anything good and then I come across this gem!! When I arrived I already knew that I was about to love the food by the music, vibe, energy. A beautiful lady took my order in our native language and made my experience even better. Ordered a Steak burrito it was amazing definitely fulfilling and full of flavors and they don’t skimp on the portions and paired it with a perfect Horchata!!!! Definitely will be back if you’re around the area or in need of a good burrito definitely come here!!!

Visited today and the staff was very nice. Loved the food, chips, salsa was so fresh. Has good outdoor seating with beautiful flowers outside. Will come again!

No nonsense kind of place, although they have outside seating in the summer. The Victorian torta was fabulous.

Not a lot of seating, good food. Fast service even during busy times, staff are courteous. No complaints. A burrito for < $10.

Love this place. My children love the horchata and I love the tacos in particular the surtido and lengua with the habenero hot sauce. I am from Arizona and it's not easy to find a good taco place in New England but my husband I enjoy coming here.

Got a brisket torta. Bread was crispy. Lots of brisket. Definitely a 2+napkin deal. Go here and get a torta if you want to hit your craving for messy mexican food. Not the largest but normal sized for normal sized people with healthy eating habits. Will try their other meats and other products to find which I like the most (sometimes places only have 1 or 2 5 star options) but I am hopeful lots of good stuff considering its 5 stars on my first visit.

Solid authentic quality burritos! Mexican plate is also great, rich portion of perfect carnitas, guacamole, rice, salsa and beans.

Authentic Mexican at a good price.

Best place to eat in town despite being primarily takeout.

Great food, good prices, quick service. This is our go to spot for street style Mexican. All the salsa options are awesome. Their guac could be better (I prefer a thicker fresher style), but not enough to take off a star. If you're going to do a torta, eat it fresh - they don't really survive takeout well.

Great food and nice to dine in when it's empty but not during its busy hours

Their food is really good! Also it feels very authentic.

Food good. Consistent and quick. Order ahead and your order will be ready on a shelf and you pick it up and walk right out.

Platos were delicious. Definitely wanna try a torta.

Nice little place. I regretted getting my enchiladas though, they were good... But I noticed brisket tacos as a special. I'll have to go back.

Good Mexican food, reasonable price, great takeout meal

A whole in the wall operation, there are a few chairs for a few people to eat in. This was my second time, I really liked it the first time, but maybe I ordered the wrong item this time, and the foods were not that good.

Great variety of authentic tacos at this unassuming spot. There are a few tables and seats and it's overall vibe is low key but you're not here for the interior design, you're here to eat some tasty tacos which they do very well. If you're a fan of Tenoch, this is your spot.

La milanesa de pollo was really good. Perfectly breaded.

Amazing taqueria! Great quality at a great price.

Try the torras! There one of the best I’ve had!

This place rules. Tacos and burritos are really well seasoned. Also, super hefty portions of meat in the tacos.

Ordered ahead online. Was ready when I arrived. Staff seemed nice. It was clean but it is small. Only 4 very small tables. Steak burrito was mediocre. kinda chewy steak, undercooked rice, was cold.

The tortas are cheap and tasty af. I sometimes randomly crave them. If placing a large to-go order, check the contents of your sandwich before biting in -- they alternately do not label them or mislabel them.

Best fish tacos, their horchata is okay but overalls is very solid meals.

Great vibe and menu. Staffs were friendly and the food is delicious.

Food is always delicious here and everyone working there is really kind.

I, a Miami native, have been looking for food-truck tacos in all the 8 years that I've been here. You know what? I don't need my tacos to look like they belong on the cover of Food&Wine--- I just need them to taste GOOD--- and Victoria's does just that. Friendly, fast service and the food is always nice and hot. I've been to so many "mexican" spots in Boston and everything has been lackluster. I'm so incredibly happy this place exists and I've been coming here almost everyday.... it's uh.. become a problem. Ahem.

La Victoria has been my go to Mexican place for years. The amount food for the price is fantastic, easily the best value restaurant I know. Their chicken is much better than what you find at a Chipotle or Qdoba. The one time out of hundreds that they messed up my order they gave me free chips and salsa. Could not recommend this restaurant enough. Do be aware of their hours however.

Service was extremely quick. I ordered takeout and went to the bathroom for 2 minutes, tops. My food was ready when I exited. I ordered 3 different tacos and they were street-style, as described. They looked beautiful and were delicious. I can't stop thinking about how good they were and can't wait to return.

100% recommended. Super efficient and dedicated staff. Very good chicken quesadilla.

This has been my all time favorite restaurant.

Great quality food at an affordable price. One of my favorite lunch spots. Burritos have lots of flavor. Chicken is never dried out and bland.

Very high quality Mexican tacos and “street food”, consistently good with friendly service. Not much seating available inside unfortunately.

Leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Preise vollkommen in Ordnung.

La Victoria is by far my favorite place to go for tacos. I haven’t had a lot of other things there because I can’t eat wheat, but the fish tacos are amazing. Highly recommend.

Really good, a great find for Mexican tortas in the area

Torta ham and cheese very good. Outdoor dining pleasant. Chicken with plato was cold. Service very pleasant.

Tortas here are great. As good as the ones I've had in Mexico.

Best Mexican food on this side of the Rio Bravo

They don’t like Mexicans in their “Mexican Taqueria” horrible attitude for no reason !

Great takeout place. Bit pricey, but better than other Mexican restaurants in Arlington

Best Mexican food in Arlington! I love the carnitas torta, chicharrón plato and you can’t go wrong with a mandarin jarritos. The prices are very reasonable as well!

Fast & good! The burritos were amazing!

Good food and reasonable prices.

I eat here 8 days a week. It’s such a good local gem :) The flan is a real treat after you’ve tried anything else on the menu. It’s all good!

Phenomenal place for Mexican food. Had the lengua and mixed meat tortas and the horchata - all amazingly prepared. You can order ahead (much recommended) and pick up. Cannot wait to go back!

The best Mexican food in Arlington. I have been eating La Victoria for multiple years now and it never disappoints. The food is always ready on time and tastes impeccable.

Fast service and delicious food. Glad I found this place. There is also public parking within walking distance. There is now also outdoor seating.

Great tortas, tacos and burritos. High quality street food that makes you feel like you're eating authentic meals. I love the chorizo torta, but the tacos are great too.

Good and inexpensive. I enjoy using the online order system to make a custom burrito. Some of the best items on the menu are the tortas, delicious melted sandwiches.

Best Tortas and burritos around Boston, They make al Pastor great!!

Good burrito clean restaurant friendly staff and quick service. Good vegetarian options.

I come up to Massachusetts from New Jersey and I always make time to go to this restaurant. Their tortas are delicious. Try this place out and you won't regret it.

I always love La Victoria. Fast and delicious!!

Conveniently located right in Arlington Center. Decent food, great online ordering. A perfect place to grab a quick bite.

Was expecting better. Tortilla was cold, cheese wasn't melty or gooey. I forgot to add hot sauce. It was OK. I prefer Anna's or Tenóch.

I was unlearned in the ways of delicious food until I visited La Victoria. Delicious meal, great spice and mixture of ingredients, and great special offerings throughout the week. I also didn't know what a Torta was, but I highly recommend it now!

Edit several months later…. We’ve had several flawless orders, so well done! —— Food is ok, but two orders in a row have either not included what we ordered or were not what we ordered. Maybe consider slowing down and making sure everything is right with each order? Maybe consider some kind of manager on site? Not that I won’t be back, but I’ll ask them to cut everything in half so I can check before leaving.

Love this place! Work nearby and is always my first choice for lunch. You gotta try the Tortas and a chorizo burrito!

Torta's are divine here. Also thoroughly enjoy their chips + salsa that has a very fresh, slightly acidic flavor. If you are a spice head, the habanero salsa is excellent. My go-to place in Arlington for over a year now.

Tortas are amazing. Tacos are really good. Burritos are pretty good. Great service, fast, friendly, accurate. Very affordable and a great location. Online ordering and pickup is very smooth.

Food is good though they are habitually late for take out orders

Food is good, it's designed to be street food. Menu in store isn't clear. You have to order your fillings, condiments, etc. separately, and it isn't clear what they have, or how much each thing costs. Price seems good, but ordering can be confusing without a list of options in front of you.

Quick and tasty at a reasonable price. Staff are always polite and helpful.

Excellent food at this place. Try the Barbacos beef on something.

Great quick Mexican cuisine, also very wallet friendly.

Best tacos in the Arlington/Cambridge area

Our family's favorite go to. We order weekly. So good fresh. I love their fish tacos!!

Better than Chipotle hands down... the burritos are my go to at this place and they never disappoint. I had a burrito like 20 minutes ago and it was packed with so much flavor... I’d highly recommend going here

Excellent place! The food and service was great! I love the customizable quesadilla! There are currently some nice tables right outside (I think from the town). Will definitely keep coming back even though it's some ways out for me!

The surtido tacos (pork skin and meat) are something else. 10/10. The pastor was 7/10, but you won't find anything better in Massachusetts

Friendly staff, great food and quick service, very reasonable prices, and outside dining

This spot is alright. It’s hard to justify coming back when Acitron is around the corner. I would come here for a light lunch. The chips and salsa are probably the highlights for me. Keep your taco orders simple. Ask for what is good at that moment.
