Best Mexican in Harvard Square
The 2 mexican restaurants in Harvard Square worth walking to — ranked, with addresses, hours, and T access. Curated by Guide to Cambridge.
Cambridge's Mexican food scene has evolved well beyond the standard burrito joint. Today you'll find restaurants serving regional specialties like Oaxacan mole, Baja-style fish tacos, and slow-braised barbacoa alongside the familiar favorites. Inman Square and Central Square are particularly strong for Mexican dining.
