What People Are Saying About Casa Romero

The Owner

Casa Romero

Owner

Since 1972, my customers still tell me what a delightful discovery it is to step out of a Boston alley and into the heart of Mexico. That is exactly what I had envisioned when I decorated the coffered door and walls of my restaurant with the bright Talavera tiles from Puebla, Mexico. Casa Romero is located in the midst of glamorous Back Bay at 30 Gloucester Street between Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue.

The Scene – More than 30 years ago, Leo Romero decided against following in his family's political footsteps and opened this gem of a restaurant in an alleyway between Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue. Romero's award-winning cuisine--a taste of which vindicates his career choice--is complemented by his restaurant's lovely interior: exposed brick, imported tiles and colorful artwork make this one of the city's best date spots (come summer, ask for a table in the lovely outdoor courtyard). Friendly waiters deliver strong margaritas and delicious sangria from the service-only bar.…

Take it from the locals who eat there often.

by michaelscott

Take it from the locals here, Casa Romero has been in operation for many years. It is not fancy Mexican, it is everyday Mexican prepared, served and owned by those who know this food. It is loved by many of us who live in the neighborhood and many of us are foodies with discriminating tastes.

The service is simple but very attentive, the wine will please simple to moderate vinophiles, the mexican menu is respectable with some very nice items on it. I cannot understand the negative reviews and I must be fortunate because we eat there often and it is always consistent and fresh. The only draw back is the rice they serve with the food needs to be done much better than it is but, I dont worry about the rice because the portions are great along with the selections. The stuffed squid is great, give it a try, steaks good too (but not steakhouse like, it is a mexican restaurant after all).

  • Pros: Service, consistency
  • Cons: The chips used to be better;)
