Incredible authentic Mexican food! The tamales are a must! Additionally if you get dine in, their margaritas are great. You can get a bottle for $25, which is about 4 margaritas. Great portion sizes and delicious hot sauce, which you can also purchase to take home. Definitely a hole in the wall but well worth it!

Stopped in here for 2 apps: Mexican sausage + chicken sopes and the plantains. They were incredible!! We’ll definitely be coming back for dinner if the apps were any indication of their other dishes. Very authentic food! Their house drinks sounded great too (both alcoholic + nonalcoholic). Decor is cute and welcoming too

This was our first time eating at Tu Y Yo and absolutely won’t be our last. As a Californian, I’ve had my fair share of stellar Mexican food, but this place was phenomenal.

Delicious food. The staff are awesome and kind and helpful when navigating the extensive menu. We had Birria tacos and tacos de pescado. The Modelo Negra complemented the food perfectly. Highly recommend!

Disclaimer: Whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant in MA, I try to only order things that I would not readily make for myself at home (e.g., enchilidas, tacos, mole). So even though this place might have out-of-this-world mole, I was not inclined to order it because my grandmother has a killer recipe that I love.

Food was excellent! If you’re looking for a fancy or romantic date this isn’t the place. If you’re looking for great food with a best friend this is the spot. Authentic, tasty, and not going to break the bank. Had the steak, and fish tacos. Perfect in every way. They make their own hot sauce which was a great add to the pork, and steak dishes we’ve tried since returning. We look forward to going many more times!

Pretty good, think somewhere between a 4 and a 5.

The food was delicious, and more balanced than I’ve experienced at other Mexican restaurants. A sauce helped the ingredients stand out, not fade into the background. I will go there again and plan to bring friends. There’s nothing like it in the area that I’ve found.
