Was in Manchester for an appointment and did a Google Maps search for a lunch spot. Lots of really positive reviews about the restaurant, so figured how can I go wrong?Arrive around 11:30AM, I was the only patron in the place. Tried to find a clean table… nope.Menu looked decent and I asked for a recommendation - Chile Verde or Carnitas. Server said the Chile Verde is great and ‘a little spicy’. “Terrific!” I thought. Tortilla chips while waiting? No chance. Food was served promptly and it was, in a word ++AVERAGE++ and that’s being generous. Being raised in Southern California, I think I can judge with reasonable authority what true Mexican food is all about - and this might be great for Manchester, New Hampshire, but it’s so-so, at best.Did my server ever come back to check on how the food is? Nope.Will I be back? Whudda you think?

Still haven't found a real Mexican food yet!

THE FOOD IS AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS ?!

Real Mexican Food! Love this place and go as often as possible. Great service and delicious flavors. I grew up in South Texas and thrilled I can get the real deal in Manchester, NH.

I was hopeful for it raited high we ordered carne asada and moljalete and a spinach and cheese dip with corn tortillas. Everything we got was cold and the steak was hard looked like a pork steak had a bone in it like carne asada does not look like that or taste like that . I did not get my cheese and spinach dip and it was just the worst Mexican foodi ever ordered.When we got home i called the resteraunt to ask where the rest of the food was and they said the cheese was in the dish i ordered . I complained about the steak being hard and he didn't really care he said thats how they make it. We paid 50 dollars for a bunch of very bad Mexican jumbled up food and he made no attempt to fix it. I'll never order from there again and by the way I never gave a bad review but I never had an experience this bad.

Absolutely 100% would go here everyday if i could, mojado burrito hits different.

Love this place, clean friendly and comfortable, and the food is amazing!
