Acton New Restaurant: Southern American, French, Italian, Comfort Food!

Author Beasley Media Editorial

Wow, there are a lot of cuisines going on in that headline. First off, congratulations Acton – you’re getting an exciting (albeit slightly confusing) new restaurant! The Acton new restaurant is named Silver Girl and the cuisine served is even more non-traditional than the restaurant’s name.

New Acton Restaurant, Silver Girl, to serve “melting pot” comfort food

What makes Silver Girl different is it’s focus. The restaurant will focus on comfort food. That in itself isn’t too unique. It’s the fusion of styles that piques my interest in the comfort food space. The restaurant will take inspirations primarily from 3 regional cuisines: Louisiana, French, and Italian. How will you bring those three pretty different flavor profiles together? I don’t have that answer yet but my mouth is eager to find out when they open! Louisiana, French, and Italian are an overwhelming yes please, yes please, and yes please from me so I’d love to see how they’d play together on one plate.

Who’s behind the new Acton restaurant, Silver Girl?

The team behind popular specialty food shop Eve & Murray’s will be opening the restaurant. Dawn Aguiar and Tamara Deluzio are the duo between the shop and soon-to-be-restaurant and will be opening Silver Girl on Arlington Street – just a short distance away from Eve & Murray’s, which is located on Massachusetts Avenue.

In a Facebook post posted to the Eve & Murray’s account, it was explained that, “We’ll be serving the best from our combined heritages – a bit Louisiana, a bit French, a bit Italian. All deliciously elevated comfort-food classics. The flavor combinations and flair we put into the sandwiches you love at Eve & Murray’s will come together at lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch at Silver Girl. Coming soon-ish.”

So mark it on your calendar! I’ll meet you in Acton for that multi-regional comfort food… “soon-ish.” Good luck on the opening, Silver Girl, and get ready to nom nom nom, Acton!

7 Of The Best Mexican Restaurants In Massachusetts To Fire Up Your Taste Buds

  • 1. La Brassa

    124 Broadway, Somerville 

    It’s all about the “masa” at La Brassa! This is a traditional form of flour used to make tortillas, tamales and other foods. All of their tortillas are made “in house from scratch. We nixtamalize the corn ourselves, grind it and press it, then cook them fresh to order on our traditional clay comal.”  This Somerville spot embraces the Mexican traditional and gives the traditional New England a few favorites like oysters.  Win win. You’ll find an emphasis on wood-fired cuisine here, courtesy of Chef Daniel Bojorquez.

    I mean, just look at this tortilla!

     

  • 2. Yellow Door Taqueria ( 3 locations)

    2297 Dorchester Ave. Boston

    354 Harrison Ave. Boston 

    1619 Tremont St. Boston 

    Yellow Door has been a favorite of my family, since they opened their first location in Dorchester’s Lower Mills. It’s tiny but tremendous! From the start, I knew they were on to something. Handmade tacos with interesting and unique options. Quality fresh food and extraordinary, artful offerings. You’ve got to try their Plantain Frito. It’s fried plantains, coconut salsa, crispy onions and toasted cashews. Sound unusual, but oh…so good! You’ll find slightly more traditional options as well. And their margs are to die for.  And with three options of locations, there’s bound to be one closer to you.

    Our #tacotuesday strategy: mix and match 🌮🌮Avoid the snow and pull up a seat at the bar tonight — all locations open until 10pm! ❄️

  • 3. Taqueria El Amigo

    196 Willow St. Waltham 

    As Yelp reviewer Francesco declares, “I am thrilled to see the well-deserved recognition the restaurant is receiving lately. Having been a loyal customer for years, I’ve often recommended this gem to close-friends, keeping it somewhat of a hidden treasure, but it seems the word is rightfully spreading.My go-to order has always been their tacos especiales with onion, cilantro, and salsa. Consistently, these tacos stand out as the best and most authentic I’ve had in Boston. The flavors are unparalleled, and each bite is reminiscent of the flavors I grew up eating in Mexico and subsequently Texas.” Now, that’s a glowing endorsement for this small and humble restaurant in Waltham. It’s so unassuming, you won’t find a social media presence or even a website, but it was named as one of the best restaurants in the country by Yelp last year.

  • 4. La Posada

    505 Medford St. Somerville 

    I discovered this little neighborhood gem, by accident on a Google search. And wow! La Posada has quickly become a favorite! We have been back 3 times. It’s a very small space, but the food is great, service amazing and those margaritas! This family owned and operated business offers a delicious mix of Latin American food with a modern twist.
