Acitron Cocina Mexicana

Ate here with family. We had a reservation, and when we entered it was mostly empty but very quickly filled up with the dinner rush. I would recommend making a reservation. The food was great, I'd had their mole as takeout before and was still thinking about it months later. We had micheladas, which they can make with nonalcoholic beer. We tried the fried avocado which was interesting, but not spectacular. The mole with chicken was spectacular, as well as the fish tacos. We also tried Chile en nogada, and enmoladas. I highly recommend getting the elote as a side. The servers were very friendly and came to the table often. The water they served us was not cold though. Great experience overall.

I've had my eye on wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and when an impromptu birthday bash came together, we all agreed to a visit. With a party of 8, they were able to accommodate us when we called ahead, even though the cozy little restaurant was nearly packed for the Saturday night. The service was very nice and most of all, their birthday celebration far exceeded expectations!! We were smiling and laughing. Overall we had a wonderful time, and everyone enjoyed their food and drinks too.

One of my favorite restaurants. Food is always excellent. The wait staff are extremely sweet and friendly. Can’t say enough good things about this gem.I dine out here often.

I am Mexican and I am not easy to satisfy with Mexican Cuisine. This place was a great and unexpected good surprise! Far away from the mexican border you can find here original flavors served in a gourmet style. Great food and great service! Congratulations to Acitron and Salud!!!!

I LOVE this place. I live far from the area but I travel out of my way to come here. The salad + grilled chicken was incredibly well-seasoned, perfectly balanced, and surprisingly filling. The atmosphere, particularly on the hidden outdoor back patio is stellar. I adore this place— and as a proud Mexican, this positive feedback does not come lightly.

Latina here, new to Boston. I’m happy to report that I’ve found my go to Mexican restaurant. It’s so rare to find good authentic Mexican food in the north of US but this is definitely it. The fish tacos are a must! Drinks are watered down but still good. Service is good. 9/10 recommend this place and will return.

We had four for dinner on a Tuesday. Had made reservations- thank goodness. They were definitely busy! The food was not only delicious but also well presented and served promptly with great hospitality. We will definitely be back. This restaurant is a gem.

The fajitas I got here were first rate and the chocolate mousse for desert was wonderful as well. I got a sunset (I think?) cocktail as well. Sitting outside was lovely because there were no mosquitos! Parking was super easy if you go in the lot behind the restaurant not too far a walk away. Overall I’d come back!

Perhaps the only critique I have is to maybe include more of the pico de gallo / sour cream / guacamole to balance out the giant serving of peppers / onions / steak (in my case). See you next time!

From the moment you walk in, the smell of authentic Mexican Cuisine is in the air. You are greeted with a friendly smile and welcomed to deliciousness. We were seated right away at the table for 3. Ordered a Margarita, Mojito, and a Shot of Tequila Reposado. The Drink menu had a vast Variety of top of the line Tequilas, Mescal
I ordered Shrimp Tacos Rice and Corn on the cob, My husband ordered Cochinita Pibil, and My daughter, Enmoladas de Pollo. Every dish was delicious and made with ingredients that take you back to the flavors of Mexico. I highly recommend this authentic Mexican restaurant and you can't go wrong with any dish on the menu.

All but two of their dishes are gluten free by default. That's freaking awesome. It's also a very, very fast place to get takeout if you're in the Arlington area.

Be warned it gets pretty busy on weeknights, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

We loved this place! Very flavorful and filling! Excellent service - mega friendly and attentive!! Mexican corn bread and queso fundido - MUST TRY!

Best Mexican restaurant I've been to in my life. The food is insanely good. If you're in the area you HAVE TO GO. You will not regret it. In the warmer months they have an adorable outdoor seating area as well.

Love this place.

They don't have a bad item on the menu, the drinks are great, the service is consistently good, and the patio is a nice spot.

The only real con is the word is out - pretty much any day of the week at peak hours and this place is packed. Good thing they do takeout well too!

One of the best and authentic Mexican places in the area. The food is so tru to its taste. The Margaritas are excellent.
Must order Corn on the cob as a side. It’s delicious.
They do provide chips and salsa as complimentary.
Must try:
Salmon (el Pastor)
Beef (Carne Adobada)

Usual date night with the hubby!!! We found this place on Google and have to say we were so pleasantly surprised. The margaritas were amazing not to mention the street corn and the pulled pork tacos. Food was very delicious and reasonably priced. Would recommend this place :)

While the indoor place is limited you can book ahead. The outdoor patio is beautiful and does not reservations. Really nice margaritas. Especially the sunset margarita is the highlight. The food is clearly made of fresh ingredients al especially the vegetables used has district flavor. The shrimp and carnitas tacos are really good.

Yummy food and good patio ambience! We got the Carne Estofada and the Chile Verde Enchiladas with the corn on cob sides and sides of black beans and rice. We also got the Pomegranate Margarita. Food was very flavorful and well seasoned. The margarita really hit the spot though and we'd definitely come back just for the drinks!

Very tasty and authentic Mexican cuisine. If you are looking for a step up, this is the place to go.

Amazing staff and amazing ambience!! I called them to make the reservation for surprise birthday party and they assigned the tables on backside in patio, beautifully decorated!! Staff was very helpful to surprise my friend! Amazing food with decent prices!!! Kudos to Chef!

I will definitely recommend this place.

Excellent quality food and great service. The chips and salsa they give to you in the beginning are very fresh and taste great. I ordered the crepas de rajas poblanas and the tres leches for dessert. As a vegetarian they had good options. I also had sides of alote and rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully. Service and atmosphere was great too. I highly recommend this place for high quality authentic Mexican food.
