After 54 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.

• Traditional mexican • Back Bay

Booked 23 times today

El Barco Back Bay was born from a simple idea: Boston deserved a Mexican restaurant that didn’t pull its punches. Not another Tex-Mex spot. Real flavor — the kind you find in Oaxacan markets and Mexico City cantinas.We built the menu around masa, smoke, and agave. Handmade tortillas. Mole made in-house. A mezcal and tequila program that goes deep. And a dining room designed to feel like the party started before you arrived.
