Mexican Restaurant Opening At Patriot Place Next Month

FOXBOROUGH, MA — A popular Boston-area Mexican restaurant is slated to open at Patriot Place in Foxborough next month.

Achilito's Taqueria is expanding from its Jamaica Plain location and offering tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more to south of the city. This will be the restaurant's third location.

Achilito's is owned and operated by Margaret Pimentel, a long-time Boston resident who said she is passionate about using real ingredients, from chiles to fresh tomatillos, to make fresh and wholesome meals for the whole family.

"We are very excited to open Achilito's Taqueria at Patriot Place and bring our fresh and flavorful food to Foxborough,” Pimentel said in a statement. "We are thankful for all of those that have helped us along the way, and appreciate the support of our Boston community and encouragement of Satanders Cultivate program and Commonwealth Kitchens. Their support encouraged us to dream bigger. I am especially thankful to Patriot Place for giving us the opportunity to serve the Foxborough community. We look forward to expanding our community and getting to know new families and friends."

Achilito’s features a quick service counter where guests can choose from dozens of meal options to enjoy. Dining options include indoor seating, patio seating, or carry out to have on the go.

Achilito’s also features a colorful mural by local artist Alvin Colón entitled "La Cultura Rica" or "The Rich Culture." The mural decorates the interior of the space, and is centered around a message of vibrant culture, indigenous roots, nature and movement.

The restaurant is located in the North Marketplace next to Capriotti's Sandwich Shop and across from Tavolino. Patriot Place officials said Achilito's is expected to open sometime in December.

Hours will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday
