Painted Burro Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar

Painted Burro Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar in Waltham is part of a small Greater Boston group of neighborhood Mexican restaurants from chef Joe Cassinelli. The seasonal menu highlights the diverse cuisines of Latin America, with influences from Baja, Oaxaca, Veracruz and the Yucatan. Dishes put a creative, fun spin on familiar flavors, with ingredients and local produce taking center stage, and tacos and tequila sit at the heart of the experience.

The Painted Burro started in Somerville’s Davis Square and has grown to four locations, including Harvard Square and Brookline, where the Brookline spot was formerly known as Burro Bar. Its bar program features more than 100 tequilas. The group also produces its own chips, called El Nacho, inspired by Lucha Libre and made in-house from properly nixtamalized, regeneratively farmed corn fried in avocado oil, with flavors such as Ms. Mango.
