Neighbourhood gem

After 40 years, my customers still tell me what a delightful discovery it is to step out of a Boston alley and into the heart of Mexico. That is exactly what I had envisioned when I decorated the coffered door and walls of my restaurant with the bright Talavera tiles from Puebla, Mexico. Casa Romero is located in the midst of glamorous Back Bay at 30 Gloucester and offers the best traditional Mexican food in Boston.

The recommendation of the Cilantro Margarita was spot on, soooo good. The combination of the flavors were amazing. The ensalada batabel with chicken delicious. One of the best guacamole's I've have. My other half got the carne asada and chicken enchilada and enjoyed that ver much as well. Overall our experience was stellar from the seating, service, food, and drinks. Oh and let's not forget the churros, only photo, I almost didn't get.

Food quality was not good. While our server was nice, we were greeted with, would you like chips salads and guac? Yes, yes we do. Two baskets probably, right? Why yes. How thoughtful. 20 min later….oh-menu is on the QR code guess how much chips, salsa and guac are per basket? $15!!!!! Guess how much we were charged for 2? $35!! So not only poor food, bait and switch, and you charged me more that the menu price. Unbelievable. Also, NEVER order the fajitas. It’s stewed meat in mole sauce. Oh. Don’t let me forget about our server sneezing on our table too.

Arrived 15 mins early for a 6:15 reservation. Restaurant mostly empty. Was sat in the very back corner and forgotten for 5 minutes. I had to find the hostess (who was in the kitchen with the staff) and request water and menus. The hostess gave major attitude for asking. “I just sat you”. I informed her that we have actually been sitting for 5 minutes in the back corner (for all we know we were forgotten). She responded with, “Sir, really?” full of attitude. The correct response would have been to apologize and walk me back to the table with menus and water. Then, later, a waiter that wasn’t ours came over and took away the empty salsa bowl which prompted my dinner partner to ask him to take away the empty beer bottle on the table (small table, limited space) and was ignored. Moments later our waiter appeared with another beer, which was never ordered. Between the attitude from the hostess and the poor organization of the waitstaff, we do not plan on ever returning.

Food was excellent. Fairly good value for money. Restaurant was packed on a Saturday night (a good sign!) but was a bit noisy. Friendly helpful service. Dessert of churros was superb. No beer on the menu that I could see.
