I notice that many "upscale", "posh" Mexican restaurants get shit for being pricey while being Mexican. As if the two don't go together. My two cents:...read more

From Citysearch

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.

The Food
Those ready to graduate from the burrito and quesadilla sector of Mexican cuisine come to sample smoky huitlacoche mushrooms wrapped in spinach tortillas, pork tenderloin marinated in oranges and smoked chipotle peppers. The revelatory mole poblano arrives with a deliciously intricate sauce, made with chocolate and too many spices to mention. Desserts, including a complex ricotta-coconut cheesecake, are also excellent.
