    This was the first time I have been to this location. I live pretty close to the Groton location but don't go there often. We arrived there for lunch. Looking at the menu nothing stuck out, but then I saw the "all you can eat tacos ". For $11 this was an extreme bargain. I couldn't believe how much food came out on one plate. Three massive tacos, beans, and rice was just overwhelming for me to eat everything. Also had a Presidente margarita. That really kicked my butt. Very friendly service and not crowded for lunch. Definitely a place to go to get your moneys worth. Very clean atmosphere and friendly service. It seems they do enjoy what they do.

    Food was good the shrimp taste a bit funny and chewy, stake and chicken were seasoning with the right flavor.

    Arroz con pollo

    Enjoyed Ultimate Margarita made with Cazadores Reposado. Could have had more birria on burrito which would have liked hotter. Arroz con Pollo was quite a good dish except chicken was inconsistently cooked, some perfect, some dry. Andreina was our excellent, most competent and personable server.

    Huge tequila selection
    Karen V.

    Good food always Fantastic guacamole made at table Tuesday's are taco nights - one dollar each (must buy a drink) Service is quick and very friendly. Drinks are good too Many different kinds of tequila for margaritas !! Ambiance is typical. Bar has TVs to watch football (soccer)

    Tall Pacifico draft
    Mike M.

    Really big fan of this spot. Never a long wait, service is friendly and the food is pretty good. The margs and the draft selection is great, menu has great selection of Mexican and south of border cuisine and some American options. Worth a trip

    I hate going to any other Mexican restaurant. Sincerely. The Mexicali chimichanga should be illegal because it's too tasty. Goshdamn.

Maybe it was due to the weather or the fact that it's in an out of the way location. The inside is cute and clean. Lots of Mexican artwork. Their menu has lots of options, but we went with a lunch sized fajita quesadilla and the fiesta burrito. They gave us a lot of food for less than $40 - great value. The chips were thin and warm, which I really enjoyed. The salsa was not hot and had a nice hint of garlic. My burrito was served with a healthy serving of guacamole and sour cream, Mexican rice, and black beans. I loved that the beans were not overly salty and everything was well-spiced. The tortilla was thin, which I enjoyed, and was packed with peppers, onions, steak and cheese. My spouse's quesadilla was filling and well proportioned with cheese, peppers, chicken and onions. We were both so stuffed! The service was a little slow, but efficient , and the presentation was beautiful as you'll see in the photos. We will definitely be back to try more food. Maybe I'll see what's spicy next time!

    OK, so I'm traveling to New Hampshire and well I said I'm gonna try some Mexican food. I am in…read morenative of Arizona and I'm half Mexican. Now you can't tell by looking at me but born raise form my mom who doesn't speak English so I grew up in Mexican food, authentic Mexican food. So always the test is the beans that's right Mexican know what I'm talking about. A true Mexican restaurant makes good beans. So I ordered my combination. I speak a few Spanish words to the waiter. He kinda looked at me funny. And he asked me about how I knew how to speak Spanish. Well, I told him I was half Mexican. I told him I will be testing the beans that's the true test. Well they passed. The beans were amazing. The chili rellino were amazing. The tamale was great. For all the white people out there this is good Mexican food for all the Mexicans. It's good enough for you to dine. Enjoy.

    I was really looking forward to a yummy authentic Mexican food meal after reading the reviews. But…read moreI was pretty disappointed with the food overall. Full disclosure this is for takeout so maybe it's a better experience inside. Speaking of inside, the ambience of the restaurant was fine. Not too crowded but a handful of patrons. The decor was cute and the music was a nice touch. I ordered a combination plate with a cheese enchilada and a chicken taco with a hard shell. I selected refried beans and Mexican rice as my sides. The sides were tasty. The enchilada was fine but the cheese tasted like American cheese, and the taco was disappointing. I expected a homemade fried hard shell but instead It was something from the grocery store and hardly filled with chicken. A homemade taco shell and more filling would go along way. Plus adding toppings like sour cream and pico-I believe those could be added for an extra cost. My husband ordered the fajita nachos. He said they were good but I was a little thrown off by the American cheese sauce instead of the more traditional melted jack and cheddar cheese for nachos. I really enjoyed their chips and salsa. Check this place out for yourself!
