Wasn't planning on including this place on my taco quest, but damn that Toro Furioso was good. The ahi tuna & potato tacos were also delicious.
Awesome lunch spot for the area. Personal favorite is the pato loco, a burrito with duck and pork belly. My coworkers ALWAYS get the friggin chicken sammy though. Also. Tots with siracha.Upvoted 1 week ago
The deliciously prepared chicken sandwich is one of the best meals I've ever had — especially without the mayo and honey but with added pickles and their "K-BBQ" sauce. The best sauce I've ever had.
Nice place,great variety but our waiter didn't know anything about the beers on the menu.UPDATE: went back after 2 years and I'm glad I did, our waitress was very knowledgable about beer I'll be back!
One of my favorite restaurants! So vegan friendly, seasonal menu, currently: corn avacado chowder, banzo cakes, gumbo, grazing plate, vegan bomb pizza w/olives, zuccini, tofu, etc!!
Rachel PowersJanuary 4, 2016The menu boasts some great food, beer and cocktail options. You may have to wait a bit on a busy night, but thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere.
Katie TuohyDecember 17, 2019Quite a few vegan options. I had the cauliflower tacos which were pretty good (especially the hummus they used on them!) but they weren’t super filling.
Bill OakleyMay 6, 2016Had a great meal, awesome beers and Kyle was a wonderful server...nice guy with great recommendations! Will definitely recommend and come back.- Craig TirJuly 18, 2021Great Street corn pizza! Also had Watershed IPA BY Vanished Valley. Excellent. As well as “It’s complicated being a wizard” double IPA by Burlington.
- Great atmosphere, experienced wonderful service and the lobster roll is stuffed! with lobster. Very happy with the drinks menu and the serving sizes. Tofu panini and pea diddy salad good as well!
Meg FarmerMarch 1, 2015Do yourself a favor and have the cast iron cornbread. Trendy, popular spot, great ambiance in the winter with the fireplace.- If you're at the bar, ask for a suggestion and you'll get a nice tasting of a few beers you might like. The bartenders here are happy to find you something you like.
- One of my favorite places is Davis square to grab drink. Great beer selection, including plenty of local crafts beers.
Alex WhittemoreSeptember 20, 2014The brunch menu is unique and delicious. "Censored" is perfectly cooked pork belly and egg on the best grits I've ever had.
Marianna TorraDecember 17, 2015Waiter was awesome and very knowledgable. Had brunch and the food was amazing. Bagel sandwich is a must try!
The food and drink are very good. The TVs and sports are very annoying.
Nick ScottMarch 6, 2016Excellent southern fare, order the ribs and bask in the glory of the cornbread that comes with them.
Toro Furioso taco: possibly the hottest fucking thing I've ever eaten, and I like spicy food. My ear canals were sweating.- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Casey loves the vast selection of beers he has to choose from at Five Horses, check out his Favecast review of it here- http://www.favecast.com/347APxy15I
- Yasmin NasrudinDecember 6, 2014Extensive selection of beers (draught, craft, imported). Tried the steak sandwich, liked it. I need to go there for brunch...
Get a hard cider + a shot of Bison Grass vodka, pour the shot in the cider = apple pie. Prepare to have your mind blown.
Jamil SiamFebruary 14, 2012This place is great, Matt is an awesome Bartender! Tuna tacos are delicious they have a bite to them and very healthy. Great place!
The tuna tacos or KFCGH with pork belly Mac n Cheese can't be beat. It may be a bar, but it's the food that shines.
Boston PhoenixOctober 6, 2011A work in progress, with tons of potential- they serve goat butter with their bread, good thin-crust pizza, and serious salads. Great beer menu!! Read more
Lauren ChristopherJanuary 12, 2018Amazing alcohol selection!!!! Great burgers and desserts! Great brunch menu!!
Erica GeorgeJune 8, 2012Grass-fed burger is great. Dining companion says pork items too salty. Awesome beer selection. Will definitely eat here again.
Josh AhadianJanuary 2, 2017Atmosphere has a great feel, food is delicious, and the beer menu is massive!
Jessica FolsomOctober 19, 2013Fantastic food and atmosphere! Friendly staff. A little loud inside, but the outside seating is perfect!
One of the best brunch menus in the area. Try the bourbon Bloody Mary!
Rachel O'h-Uiginn EstapaApril 14, 2013Love this place before the "Bro's" and "chicks" take it over. Tacos and the wings are a must!!
Tater tots and chicken fingers are the best in the world. Also order "Shannon's Shandy" from the bar--cherry moonshine + lemonade!
Kerry ClarkSeptember 15, 2014Great draft beer selection from near and far. Good looking menu, with coming back.
ElwoodJuly 30, 2013I love the fried chicken sammy, the pork belly tacos, and whatever is drawn from the cask.- The Toro Furioso taco is delicious, but use caution when biting into the chilli peppers; those things are NO JOKE!
StephanieNovember 23, 2014Great place to grab a beer on a weeknight. I imagine it's slammed on the weekends.
Tufts UniversityFebruary 15, 2012Breaking Davis Square's location jinx with mussels, Brussels sprouts, tacos and more. Read the full review at: http://now.tufts.edu/articles/dish-five-horses-tavern
Met my fiancé here! Nice long beer list. Menu is often just a little strange but I do love tater tots.
The tacos are phenomenal. I'd recommend trying all three but if you're only going to get one get the Toro Furioso.
Rinaldo DormanJuly 1, 2013It gets busy, but the staff can deal. Great food and beer. Try to cold brew coffee.
The Kentucky Fried Cornish Game Hen. Sounds funky, but it is amazing!
Rachel SmithOctober 28, 2013Great for vegetarians and carnivores alike!! Huge alcohol selection too!!- Roger LauSeptember 5, 2011Fried chicken was awesome. Also tried the pork belly tacos, corn on cob, and mussels. All very good.
Some good vegan options, especially for a place that has also good meat options. Usually pretty loud.
