La Victoria Taqueria

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

Great spot with authentic and delicious food. Got tacos because I wanted to try a few of their different proteins. I got the lingua, chicharron, and brisket. All of them were great and flavorful. Probably wouldn't do the lingua again, but I ordered it mostly out of curiosity. Was still pretty tasty. Portions are good for the price even for the guac!

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.

Wonderful Mexican restaurant, very authentic! Delicious food at a good price. Not a lot of seating, but great for take-out. Parking is limited. Restroom on site. We’ve been there twice and had a great experience both times, favorite place in the area.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

What a great little taco spot! It's the classic taqueria and the menu is just enough for everyone.

I ordered 2 tacos- one with pork and one with steak (no please) and it was perfect. The verde sauce was So good and I added a bit of heat with the red sauce. Those two tacos with a Diet Coke and I was $8 in.

The space isn't large so this isn't for a big group. However it's a great place to come and have a quick lunch with a friend.

I will def be back! Yum!

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.

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.

Simply amazing Mexican food. Thought I wouldn't like any place as much as Ana's, I was wrong . Their shredded beef torta (barbacoa) is phenomenal, cheesy, tasty, but doesn't feel like a ton of calories. Will definitely return to try out other things!

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!!!

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

So glad we decided to try this little restaurant. We tend to choose Japanese, Thai, or Indian food when it's available, and there are plenty of options nearby, but this place has definite staying power - delicious food and a surprising amount of options to try! We are already planning our next visit.

Love the food that they serve. Its right by the minuteman trail, so you can just excercise to the place and burn off the calories after eating! Their tortas were great! The spot gets a little crowded, so come prepared.

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

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