So I went to the Lynnfield location on a Saturday for my birthday. I arrived an hour before my party was planning on arriving because I knew there would probably be a long wait and I wanted to at least put my name in for a table. I went to the hostess stand to put my name in for a table and I was told that there was an hour to an hour and a half wait, which was fine with me because I came early for that reason. I was then told that then didnt do a waitlist and to come back in an hour when my party arrived. So I sat in the waiting area next to the hostess stand and watched for ten minutes different groups put in there names on the waitlist for a table. I eventually went back up to a different person and was able to add my name. I just dont understand why its ok to single certain people out and tell other people sometimes completely different, its just wasnt fair since I was willing to wait for a table but for some reason that wasnt an opinion for me. I eventually was seated an hour from the time I got my name on the list. The only thing that help my experience was our waitress, I wish I caught her name. She did go above and beyond for our table, but that first impression walking in defiantly left a bad taste in my mouth!

Got seated quickly, though the hostess seemed angry when I asked for a different table on the porch. With only one other patron dining out there, I didnt think it was necessary for our party of two to sit immediately next to the other diner. We then waited ten minutes without any service whatsoever. A table of four that was seated next to us had drink orders taken not 2 minutes after they sat down, while we remained unattended to. As someone who travels for a living, I eat at restaurants 4+ times a week. 10 minutes of waiting is beyond unacceptable, especially at a brand new restaurant, especially on a Friday at lunch time when the place was absolutely dead. At ten minutes I closed my menu and left the restaurant, explaining why to the manager as I walked out. Id normally give the opportunity for amends to be made, though saw no reason to in this instance. An exceptionally disappointing experience in every regard.

Starters were a mountain of Calamari soaked in sticky BBQ sauce. Not bad, just huge amounts. The nibblely bits came out a few minutes after the starters, and the mains arrived before we were even 1/2 way though the starters. We actually had to tell the guy that we were not ready for them, despite the fact that all the plates would not fit on the table! Mains were OK. Nice, but nothing to write home about. Again, lashings of sticky BBQ sauce. Chalk it down to a learning experience. If youre looking for the "I wash myself with a rag on a stick" eating experience, this place would fit the bill.

Nice ambience but blatant discrimination . We went on a Friday night and was told the wait time was between 30 and 45 minutes. They took our cell number and said they would text us when a table became available. We returned after one and a half hours only to be told that we were still on the waiting list. We sat there and observed people being sat and others leaving. It was not until my husband expressed his observations to the hostess and manager that we were seated right away. Around us, there were a few empty tables. The blatant discrimination killed my mood, taste buds and appetite.

Went there on a Saturday night around 7pm. Were told the wait would be 45 minutes. After an hour were told twice that we were next to be seated to then see several other groups seated ahead of us. Waited an hour and a half and then finally left. We werent the only family of 4 waiting for that long either. Not once did a manager or hostess come over and apologize for the wait or check on the group. Saturday is understandably busy but to be off by more than double the time you told a customer is wrong. With so many other options in Lynnfield its best to go somewhere better.

I am yet to find a place thats going to come anywhere close to Temazcal Tequila Cantina as far as Mexican food goes... my absolute favorite. Carnitas plate is to die for. Margaritas are the best Ive ever had. Ive been to one in Tujunga and in Montrose - both are soooo good. Ill even go as far as to say its one of the best restaurants Ive ever eaten at - and Ive eaten at some fancy ass restaurants all over the world. I like everything about it, the ambiance, the food, service.

Ive gone only twice. Two very different experiences, but both times the food was amazing. First was for a birthday lunch which was perfect. It wasnt as busy and the waiter was really knowledgeable and nice. The second was for a Thursday night dinner with friends and it was pretty crowded, the waitress mustve been new because she was very inexperienced and didnt check on us or deliver or drinks and food in a timely manner, she even forgot to give us water

The salsas are made completely in house and beat anything else Ive ever had, even in the Southwest. Portions are generous and the price is right. Blackened fish tacos are outstanding. Served with smoky black beans and other sensational flavors. Plantain empanadas are a meal in themselves. They claim to have a scratch kitchen and it certainly tastes it.

Came from out of town for business, stumbled upon this gem. Incredible tequila selection, knowledgeable staff navigated my co worker and I through the extensive tequila selection, and we tried two great ones. Guacamole and salsas were very good. Only negative was a bit pricey but great experience.

Very nice atmosphere and background music. Nice complimentary trio of dips and chips. Great slection of appetizers. A little pricy yet worth the visit. Stopped in for appetizers and drinks following shopping, attracted by the fire pit at the entrance. We will be back for dinner in the future.

My husband and I just had the absolute best experience here, all thanks to our amazing waitress Cristina. She made our anniversary night so special. The food was delicious as well, of course! This is my new favorite place for queso! We will definitely be coming back.

Good service and ambiance. Its was a little loud on Friday night. The red Sangria was far from the best. Food on this occasion was just average especially given the price. It wasnt quite where we thought it could be. Lots of potential though for growth.

The Margaritas are pretty good. Huge! When you order fajitas or something, if you dont like cilantro make sure you mention it to the server because they load the dish with chopped cilantro. They have a lot of gluten free options.

Ive been to the one in Boston a few times and this location was just as good. I really like the way they do their skirt steak here, I had it in the tacos and my buddy had the carne asada. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Good food but not a whole lot of options for lunch. Food is authentic though and the service is very good. Drinks are a little bit on the strong side but thats just my personal preference. Overall, good lunch spot :)
