The Painted Burro is a neighborhood Mexican restaurant and a stylish wedding venue in Waltham, Massachusetts. It began in 2012 as a tequila bar in Somerville's Davis Square but has since expanded to have four locations around Boston. Influenced by the cuisine in Baja, Oaxaca, Veracruz, and other famous Mexican locations, the food menu is filled with creative and fun courses and delicious and familiar flavors.

Whether it's a casual pre-wedding cocktail party or a fabulous reception dinner, the Painted Burro offers a number of private event options for the big day. The venue can cater to both intimate and lavish affairs and will open its doors to wedding parties of 30 or 300. Nearlyweds can rent out the North Room, South Room, Veranda, or a combination of all three, depending on the size and scale of the wedding celebration. Before making their final plans, couples can arrange a private consultation with the team at the Burro to discuss all the details. A professional and talented staff will decorate the venue to reflect the style, vibe, and theme of each occasion.

The Perfect Rehearsal Dinner!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at The Painted Burro on their gorgeous three-season veranda, and it was everything we hoped for—and more. The atmosphere was vibrant yet intimate, with the perfect mix of chic decor and cozy ambiance. Our guests were raving about the hors d'oeuvres and, of course, the hand-crafted margaritas (they were a hit!).

Planning the event with Bridget was wonderful. She was warm, responsive, organized, and genuinely passionate about making everything perfect. Her attention to detail and creative ideas made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish.

Our night felt so special, and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Lovely Veranda Party

We had a function for approximately 50 people on the veranda at the Waltham location. The space is perfect (weather permitting) for cocktails and appetizers, or even for a meal! We had a "Taco Party" buffet and the food was above and beyond. The chicken tinga and shortrib tacos were excellent! I loved the arugula salad, the beans and rice, and all the delicious sauces!!!

Bridget was our event planner. She was very helpful with menu choices and event details. Communicating with her was easy as she always responded in a very timely manner. John was our event captain and our bartender and he was funny, professional, and could make one heck of a spicy margarita.

All in all, we had a fabulous time and I absolutely would (will) have another event there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
