Mexican Restaurant Opens At Patriot Place In Foxborough

FOXBOROUGH, MA — A popular Boston-area Mexican restaurant opened at Patriot Place in Foxborough, Patriot Place management announced Wednesday.

Achilito's Taqueria expanded from its Jamaica Plain location and will offer tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more to south of the city. Dining options include indoor seating, patio seating, or carry out to have on the go. This is 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. "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 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.
