At Yellow Door Taqueria, we are serving up traditional & contemporary Mexican cuisine with a New England Spin. Our traditional tacos each have an individual twist and they're all served on the tortillas we make fresh every morning. We offer a full bar and have a stacked drink menu including several different kinds of Margaritas, an extensive tequila, and mezcal list, as well as carefully craft cocktails. If you're not into the hard stuff, no worries, we have mocktails, Mexican sodas, beer, wine, and more!

This location resides in Boston's South End at the InkBlock apartment community. In addition to being right off of Route 90 and 93, we are steps from SoWa Market, Peter's Park, and so much more! Our original location lives in the heart of Lower Mills, Dorchester.

We are open 7 days a week for dinner & for brunch on the weekends!

    Had a dope time here! Our waitress Raffy was incredible and provided beyond excellent service for me and my party. Would recommend this place and if Raffy is your server than you’re in good hands!

    Our server provided the best hospitality - she was friendly, accommodating, and attentive the entire night. YDT was the perfect place for a celebratory night.

    The birria, duck and mango pork tacos were extremely good along with the spicy margarita, would highly recommend. Tried the tofu taco and wasn't a fan. Usually like tofu but feel like it didn't fit with the menu and would have been much better if given a Mexican twist, it was very plain. Overall great experience, would definitely go back.

    The questions really as good as others say!! All of our tacos were good, and we got a variety. The churros were also amazing… a guilty pleasure type of treat but worth it!! My one thing about value was my drink… it only had about 3 sips in it. It was full of ice. I didn’t complain or mention it to the waitstaff because they seemed really busy. Two waitresses covering floor and bar, but we were well taken care of considering. Would definitely go back.

    Best spicy margaritas around in my humble opinion. Yellow Door Taqueria knows how to make a margarita. Delicious Mexican food - flavorful and fresh. Fast and attentive customer service. Lively atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Great service but it was loud to the point that it was hard to hear. The fish tacos and margaritas were good but some of the other tacos didn't stand out.

    Great drinks and delicious food! Service was very nice as well. I got the tuna ceviche and it was delicious, only wished there was a little bit more tuna. Overall still 5/5 for food and service. Taking away a star because it was kinda loud in the restaurant, felt like I was yelling just to talk to my friends ( sitting near the speakers). We were there for about 2.5 hours, would’ve stayed longer to celebrate our friends birthday, but we’re indirectly asked to leave because the next reservation for the table had just gotten there, which is completely understandable - just the first time that I been asked.

    The food and drinks were good and the vibes were good, but everything was incredibly slow. It took a long time for the server to come to order drinks, and again to order food. Then the drinks and food all took a super long time to come. Sadly I don’t think we will be back
