  Really tasty tacos wait for you here. The staff is fun and friendly. Nice cocktails, appetizers. Summer time outside seating. In the middle of MIT campus and I definitely recommend this place.

  I was knocking (naco-ing?) on wood that Naco wouldn’t be as terrible as some reviews claimed. And I was pleasantly surprised by having a great experience! Probably because I did my diligent Yelping beforehand and knew what to order (and what to avoid). It pays to do your research, kiddos!There was a wait to sit out on the large patio, so we took a seat at the bar. I started with the rose sangria ($7). This was a spicy-sweet mixture of strawberry and jalapeno that was both flavorful and refreshing. My friend regretted getting an agave michelada immediately.The seating process is a bit confusing, as there are hostess stands both inside and outside, and we kept shuffling between the two to figure out how much longer the outside wait was/if we could change our minds and just sit inside. Eventually we were seated at an indoor table right by the window, so it kind of felt like we were out on the patio. Good enough for us!As for food, instead of splurging on the sampler, we went for two of the most popular: burnt pineapple salsa and the avocado & tomatillo crema ($3 each). They’re served with a pile of chips that could make 4 people happy. The pineapple salsa was a good balance of chunky fruit with spice. Deliciously different. The avocado-tomatillo crema also had a nice kick as well as distinct notes of lime. This is a great option when you want an avo fix without going all out on $8 guacamole.I was nervous about the food since I’d read so many mixed reviews. So for my entree, I decided to take a blind leap and order the special of the day: a halibut sopa consisting of a thick tortilla topped with chunks of fish, two sauces, queso fresco, and some greens. This cost $9 and was approximately the amount of food as 2 tacos ($4 each), so the price seemed about right. The flavors here were great! Both salsas were flavorfully spicy, and the white fish was tender. The thick tortilla underneath absorbed all of the flavors like woah. A woman was literally making the tortillas right next to our table, so you can’t get much fresher than that. That along with the chips left me feeling full, and my wallet didn’t feel much pain. I’d say Naco Taco knocked it out of the park!

  Amazing service (Stephen at the bar was fantastic among others) and we tasted a plethora of tacos and salsas. Atmosphere was great as well. I wish it were a bit more easily accessible via the T but it’s so worth the uber ride! PigTrip massmusings.com
