Weymouth Residents Excited About A New Mexican Spot In Columbian Square

As soon as you step into the restaurant, you're welcomed by the lively chatter of satisfied customers and the subtle undertones of sizzling meats and spices. On my recent visit, I found myself weaving through a packed space, with people savoring their meals at small tables or eagerly awaiting their orders. You could feel the buzz, and there was a unique communal feel, as if everyone had stumbled upon a well-kept secret and couldn’t wait to dive into the treasure.

But what truly sets Dora Taqueria apart is its impressive lineup of hot sauces. Ranging from the mild and tangy to the searing and spicy, there's a sauce for every palate. And if you’re a hot sauce aficionado like me, you’ll appreciate the delight of being spoilt for choice.

Now, let's talk convenience. In today's fast-paced world, many of us are on the lookout for quality food on-the-go. Dora Taqueria has grasped this concept beautifully. The casual 'grab and go' feel of the place, reminiscent of big names like Chipotle, ensures that even if you’re short on time, you won't be short on flavor.

For those who haven’t had the chance to visit, the Weymouth Foodies Facebook page is abuzz with rave reviews about this new hotspot:

"The tacos here are a game-changer! So flavorful and authentic." - Jamie L.

"I couldn’t get enough of the hot sauces! Finally, a place in Weymouth that gets my spice cravings." - Aiden P.

"Such a refreshing addition to Columbian Square. Quick, tasty, and doesn’t break the bank!" - Sarah T.

Weymouth hasn’t seen a place quite like this before. It’s the perfect blend of quick service, tantalizing flavors, and a relaxed atmosphere. With its winning combination, Dora Taqueria is poised to become a staple for both locals and visitors alike.

So, the next time you find yourself in Columbian Square with a hankering for some Mexican flavors, give Dora Taqueria a try. It’s a culinary adventure that’s just a hot sauce away from perfection.

Address: 17 Union St, Weymouth, MA 02190. There are also locations in Dorchester and Woburn.

Cinco de Mayo falls on a Friday in 2023. So what are the most popular Mexican beers and tequilas in Massachusetts?

Before we dive into the drinks, a quick word about Cinco de Mayo. The holiday, by definition, is celebrated in honor of Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. It is not, as many believe it to be, Mexico's version of Independence Day. That's September 16th, the most important national holiday in Mexico. Believe it or not, Cinco de Mayo is much more popular and celebrated more widely in the United States than it is in Mexico.

Seeing as that's the case, the holiday has become more of a celebration of Mexican-American culture than anything else. And that's a beautiful thing. I had the privilege of living in Albuquerque, New Mexico for close to three years and the way the cultures of Mexico, New Mexico, and the various Native American cultures of that region blend together is a beautiful thing to behold. I love Mexican culture, I especially love Mexican food, and I'll certainly tip back a Mexican beer or sip a shot of Mexican tequila.

The crew at BetMassachusetts.com used Google Trends to analyze the top five highest-selling Mexican beer and Mexican tequila brands across the United States. What they ended up with was data showing which brands received the most interest over the last 12 months, state-by-state. I've taken their data and have shared with you the Top 5 Mexican beer choices and the Top 5 Mexican tequila choices here in the Commonwealth. Take a look and see if your favorites made the Top 5. Or, use the lists to inspire your Cinco de Mayo celebration. Just please, as always, drink responsibly. And tip your bartender.

Fun fact: they're no longer the No. 1 imported beer in America...

...because Modelo is now the No. 1 imported beer in America!

Shouts to my buddy Graz, as this is his preferred Mexican brewnani.

And shouts to my boy Punk Rock Steve, who would smash lime wedge right into the mouth of the can before quaffing these at Tacos El Charro in J.P.

I have a Pacifico long board. My kid rides it all the time.

No surprise that Patron tops the list.

If it's good enough for Steely Dan to work into a song, it's good enough for me.

This one's my favorite. The blanco, in particular.

Remember a few years back when Hornitos was suddenly EVERYWHERE?

Hey, Ray Liotta was their pitchman!
