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!

    Stopped by for a quick drink & a few tacos. We got the fish tacos and birria. Two were plenty, they were really delicious and filling. Fish tacos 10/10, Birria was 9/10 flavor profile was there but the meat was a little dry, even with the dip. Really cool spot though, I loved this location. Ambiance 10/10. Really nice staff! The place smelled incredible.

    The food was as always-outstanding. The ingredients are always fresh and the combinations are unique yet traditional in concept. The service was over the top! We sat at the bar and the bartender was so attentive as well as the servers who delivered our food. The manager wowed us by stopping by and also checking in on us not once - but twice. It’s a reflection on ownership and management that the culture truly adds to the value of your experience.

    Always delicious and interesting tacos. Maybe figure a way to make identification of which tacos are which could help.
