Authentic Mexican food, located in Somerville

100% Mexican
Beer, wine and sangria
Homemade salsas

In the second half of the 18th century, when Mexican towns were being established, fondas were created. Mexican settlers (much like those in the United States) had left their homes in search of land and opportunity. They too had to clear unsettled land and sacrificed all the comforts of home. These people wanted home-cooked meals in a home-like environment. From this came the Mexican fonda, a place where people could get typical dishes of the region prepared using family recipes. The menu from Tu Y Yo is composed of family recipes spanning over 100 years. Each item is freshly made and 100 percent Mexican, from homemade salsas to typical meat sauces. We take pride in everything we prepare and thank you for taking the time to experience our culture.

3 Reviews of Tuy Yo in Somerville ...Write yours here! Bienvenidos! By Marissa B. Tu Y Yo is the best Mexican restaurant in the area. They serve authentic cuisine. I have yet to try the grasshoppers but I dare you too. I am sure they are just as tasty as anything else on the menu. I always try the special and have never been disappointed.

It's true Mexican fare, and it will amaze you. If you thought Mexican meant standard tortillas, think again and try Tu Y Yo! Amazing food!

By Mekkin L. \| Insider Expert \| Rank: 1,506 This old world Mexican restaurant features old photographs, traditionally dressed waitstaff, and a simple, yet excellent menu. Each dish comes with rice and black beans, and the portion sizes are quite reasonable. If you're looking for a burrito or chips and salsa, look elsewhere! First Review!

The food was not even remotely typical Mexican and despite the owner'sa claim to being Mexican I didn't find them to be knowledgeable at all about Mexican cuisine. NOT recommended or at least not as a Mexican restaurant!!! Pros: Nice place Cons: Bad food & rude servers. Posted 09/19/08 at 11:48am Good Stuff Tu Y Yo is a great spot for authentic mexican. Don't go if you are expecting taco bell - you will be disappointed. For those that appreciated authentic mexican get over there! Posted 08/19/08 at 12:40pm Excellent food, unique and tasty!! This little place in Powderhouse square is a gem of a place. The people who are dissapointed go there with wrong expectations. If you want Tacos, Burritos or Quesedias at a cheap price, go to Anna's Taqueria in Davis Square. If you want just a drink go to other bars in Davis. I have enjoyed every meal there. Only one appetizer dissappointed, the crepe with the fungus that grows on corn. The boraccha is great and so is shredde pork and the stuffed cactus paddle. The Sangria is tangy and the wait staff are pleasant. Pros: Authentic Mexican food(I guess) Tasty Cons: No Margeritas Posted 07/14/08 at 11:51am Definitely NOT $...try $$$ The food here was pretty good. Authentic menu, although a little limited. The biggest disappointment is that this website listed the restaurant as costing $...it's definitely NOT CHEAP. I thought it was pretty overpriced. About $17 average per plate. Worth trying once, but not in a rush to go back. Pros: Authentic Food Cons: Overpriced Posted 04/06/08 at 5:19pm Best Mexican! The food is amazing! We started off with the tamales for appetizers. My favorite was the fish tamale. I had tried some on a trip to Mexico and last nights were better. I had a shrimp & octopus dish that was out of this world. I was a little hesitant about the octopus at first but am glad my partner convinced me to try it. The Sangria was also very tasty. I had no room for desert but my date was quite satisfied with the flan. Service was very good! Pros: food & service Cons: hard to hear the music. Posted 03/14/08 at 9:51am
