About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour

At Yellow Door Taqueria, we are serving up traditional & contemporary Mexican cuisine with a New England Spin. Our traditional tacos each have an individual twist and they're all served on the tortillas we make fresh every morning. We offer a full bar and have a stacked drink menu including several different kinds of Margaritas, an extensive tequila, and mezcal list, as well as carefully craft cocktails. If you're not into the hard stuff, no worries, we have mocktails, Mexican sodas, beer, wine, and more!

This is our original location which lives in the heart of Lower Mills, Dorchester. We are right in between our two sister restaurants Lower Mills Tavern and Madre Osteria & Bar - Perfect spots to grab a drink before or after your reservation!

Our second location resides in Boston's South End at the InkBlock apartment community.

We are open 7 days a week for dinner & for brunch on the weekends!

Everything we had was fantastic -- each taco was delicious, and each of the 4 cocktails we had were outstanding. Everything was so good - well flavored, put together, and so reasonable.

Great vegan option with a fried tofu taco. Very tasty. Homemade chips are delicious as is the guacamole and salsa. The kale salad was good, but drowning in a vinegar-based dressing, so couldn't finish it. Cool vibe and a changing menu. We'll be back!
