Visiting Tu Y Yo is a surprising collection of foods and flavors. Don't expect the usual suspects.
The food is authentic and delicious. All the dishes well prepared with fresh ingredients and the flavors are creative and incredibly tasty. Eating there is a wonderful experience and it's also a great value.
Fresh, lively, authentic Mexican cuisine, prepared with respect for traditional family recipes. Beautifully presented. Consistently outstanding. Warm waitstaff, not too intrusive. I love it every time we go, which is fairly often.
This restaurant is incredible. The food is superb, with new dishes all the time. Their coffee is easily the best I've had, almost a desert in and of itself.
Authentic Mexican cuisine renewed monthly to offer a diversity of choices in several categories (vegetarian, poultry, meat, seafood). Many are featured in pepper-based motif; all have marvelous sauces as accompaniments. Menu selections show creativity in blending the best features from family -originated Mexican recipes adapted to North American tastes. Weekend brunch features imaginative egg dishes, augmented with the bean and whole pepper based sides, which are usually part of the dinner menu. Changing of food selections on monthly basis offers the frequent diner options without the restrictions of fixed menu choices. A real treasure in casual dining in the heart of Somerville!
Tu Y Yo is absolutely delicious! The food is as authentic as I have ever had in the United States but also very unexpected with wonderfully exotic combinations. This isn't your typical take-out Mexican place. The atmosphere is lovely and the service exceptional! Try the Sangria!
The menu offerings are not at all the standard Mexican restaurant fare, and they are all delicious. The one negative: the one small room can get *very* noisy.
Great, welcoming staff, authentic food, the freshest ingredients, unique sauces for each dish, food is distinctive
Great authentic Mexican cuisine, with the name of the Mother who created each recipe, right on the menu! Delish!
We enjoyed Tu Y Yo because it's not your usual Mexican food - it's very authentic! The service and the people are great as well!
Unique and flavorful, authentic Mexican dishes. The owner frequently comes to visit tables. Incredible sangria, and unique Mexican experiences like cactus paddles and huitlacoche.
The food is delicious, the menu is unique and the atmosphere and wait staff are very friendly.
Tu Y Yo is the best authentic Mexican restaurant. The sauces are what makes it special. Their black beans are also better than anywhere else.
Great authentic food (not run-of-the mill Tex-Mex), casual yet classy decor and ambiance.
This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Boston. Very authentic, flavorful and a great selection of dishes.
Casual setting, excellent wine, and painstakingly prepared authentic meals easily place Tu Y Yo above the rest. Great place for dinner with friends or a date.
Great authentic Mexican food, reasonable prices, lovely atmosphere and pleasant wait staff.
Tu y Yo is the most authentic, delicious, & well presented Mexican restaurant in Boston. Don't come here for burritos cause it's way better than that
Wonderful food and such nice servers. A trip into another country. Very authentic.
Tu y Yo is the best traditional Mexican food in the city with good prices and friendly service!
Food is always excellent. Always different dishes to choose from. The quality of the food is the highest. Great family recipes. The staff is extremely earnest to please the customer. I have taken many friends and family to this restaurant to experience the food. This is gourmet food.
They serve authentic mexican food that is tantalizing and flavorful. Also, they have the best sangria around!!!
The authenticity of the cuisine. The delicate tastes it serves and the service it provides.
Well I'm from Mexico and have tried several different mexican restaurants, and this is the best and more authentic flavor from Mexico, I live in Maryland and every time I go to Boston to visit relatives I have to go for dinner to Tu Y Yo. The Best!!!!!
Authentic mexican food; not your border and Tex-Mex fit-for-the-American-palate food
Tu Y Yo is not your everyday Mexican. We have taken every person who has visited us from out of town to Tu Y Yo and all agree, it was the best and most authentic Mexican food they have EVER had! Guzman, the owner, is always ready with a suggestion for the best dish and could qualify as the 'Authentic Mexican Food Nazi' ala Seinfeld 'Soup Nazi'. He's never wrong.
Great food, the real Mexican food. Forget about burritos or nachos, once you try their food you will feel like you are eating somewhere in Mexico.
