We were not greeted for at least 5 minutes while standing to order. We ordered a burrito, a bowl, and Birria. The food was quickly made, burrito bowl was a hefty portion but lacked flavor. The birria lacked flavor as well. The guac was downright acidic and not good. We have tried both the Epping location and here and we will not return.

I must say that Jorge makes some great margaritas that taste very well balanced. I usually try a different one every time and I've never been disappointed. Of course, they bring out complimentary chips and salsa which always hits the spot. Boyfriend likes to get a side of queso and some hot sauce too. I typically end up getting the street tacos here. The plate comes with five tortillas topped with your choice of two proteins and a side of both red and green salsa. It took me a little while to figure out the best combination of meat for the tacos. While the birria tastes solid, it causes the tortillas to fall apart easily, so if you want some of that I'd go for the quesabirria tacos. I was getting the carnitas for a while, but it wasn't always the most consistent as some days it didn't taste as good but other days it tasted fantastic. In my opinion, the go to meat combination for the street tacos is the pollo adobo and the al pastor, as they both have flavorful marinades and the meat itself tastes good as well. While I understand that New Hampshire isn't exactly known for having amazing Mexican food, I've found that this place is solid for the area. Fun atmosphere, nice people and generous portions of food that will fill you up.

This is a simple menu and seemingly most everybody in the restaurant seemed to be ordering tacos. We tried the steak, chicken and fish tacos. We thought the steak was the strongest, followed by the fish taco. Portion was generous, especially for the modest price. The sides of rice and beans were small, and frankly not very flavorful. Oddly, no chips and salsa were offered, nor could they be purchased on the menu. We did see fresh made guacamole offered on the menu, but it was served with pita chips, and while I love pita chips, I don't think I would want them with guac. They do offer garlic bread, which makes me think Italian and not tacos. So there are certainly some quirks in this menu. I also had the house margarita which was not bad, but not exactly what was expected based on the ingredients listed on the menu. It seemed to be made with some kind of a sour mix, as it was served with a foamy top, usually an indicator of a mix. Overall we enjoyed our dinner, and would try this place again, despite the couple of things we felt odd with the menu.

I've given 3 stars because they're in the midst of doing so much menu-wise, ingredient wise (my husband asked for pineapple salsa and although there was none that day, there would be once the pineapples were delivered). I do think that the photos will give you a very true idea of the food...So please visit this newest choice in Hampton. Support local! (Note: We were encouraged to describe what it was that we'd like off if the menu and they'd try to make it! )

The decor is kitschy. The windowsill next to me was covered in a diorama of a beach scene. However, the best dives are not much different. There aren't any hot sauces other than the two homemade ones that were run of the mill. I wish they had spicier option! I prefer vinegar-based hot sauces, unlike the house options. Next time I'll BYOHS :-) We tried the famous pupusa. It was actually quite good but soaked in oil. At least 75% of the weight of each pupusa was canola. The sauce was ok. We tried the tacos. They were over generous with the meat. The carnitas meat was a bit dry and not marinated enough. Even when doused with sauce it was a chore to eat. The carne asada flavor was excellent but the meat was rubbery, likely precooked and reheated. The churros were fine, especially for the price. I am giving 4 stars instead of 3 because of the overall experience, wonderful hospitality, and reasonable price. I would return and try some other dishes once they complete the outdoor seating area.

"That was so salty, I think my kidneys are shutting down."…read more Quote of the night after ordering a cocktail and a dinner. I went here with my boss and had an embarrassing experience. Took 2 bites, boss saw me trying not to make a face, but it was so salty that my biggest regret was not having enough water in my car when I skedaddled out of there. It was so bad, it wasn't worth talking to the staff about it. We paid in full with a good tip but it just was bad enough to just simply call it quits on this place.
