"Oversized fans, dangling fruit displays and cacti-filled planters are among the decor at Cambridge's new Mexican restaurant and bar-a place that embraces the mindset of a fiesta. Specializing in tacos, tequila and tiki, Gato Exotico promises a lively atmosphere alongside quality offerings thanks to the same team behind the '90s-styled, American Chinese Wusong Road. A vast selection of tacos include traditional fillings like birria short rib and chicken tinga as well as CDMX-inspired beef tongue or crispy chicharróns (pork belly) with fresh guacamole ($5 to $6 per taco)."
"There are also large plates designed for table centerpieces like Plato Pollo Enchilada Verde, with chicken and queso Chihuahua ($20) or a Carne Asada option with sliced, grilled beef served with roasted jalapeño and chimichurri. At the bar, Gato Exotico features the widest selection of tequilas and agave based spirits in Cambridge, which they expertly showcase in their signature cocktails, like the Tijuana Taxi with overproof tequila, rum, mezcal, grapefruit, lime, cinnamon, almond falernum, guava and prickly-pear grenadine ($17)."
