Salsa Verde Grill - Sopaipillas with chicken and salsa roja

Mexican Food in Maine? Absolutely!…read more We found this amazing Mexican spot right in the middle of downtown Bar Harbor, and let me tell you the location couldn't be better! Families were walking by, live music was playing across the street, and people were sitting barefoot on the grass trying to stay grounded. Meanwhile, we were being spiritually guided by the smell of Mexican food coming from Salsa Verde Grill. It pulled us in like a tractor beam! We started with the fresh guacamole, blue corn chips, and their Christmas sauce a combination of red and green sauce. Oh man Christmas came early! That sauce was so good I almost asked for it in a cup with a straw. My wife ordered the steak burrito, and it was so big she couldn't finish it. Imagine that! I ordered the enchiladas topped with a fried egg, refried beans, and rice. Oh boy, I was stuffed but somehow kept eating like I was training for the Mexican Food Olympics. Our daughter ordered the same thing as Dad, but hers was smothered in that delicious holiday sauce. She couldn't finish hers either. My wife and daughter are a couple of wimps! Or maybe I'm just a big-backed roly-poly with no quit in me. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was perfect. We absolutely recommend Salsa Verde Grill when visiting Bar Harbor. Come hungry, wear stretchy pants, and don't blame me when that Christmas sauce has you licking the plate. Bye-bye now!

Incredibly salty!!! Almost blew my head off!!!!! Sodium levels through the roof!!!!!!!!!!! If salt…read morewas a radioactive meltdown this would be Chernobyl. After eating our mouths were on fireee. Other than that, the burritos were hot and flavorful! If you can look past the salt levels, the food was good and the red salsa was delicious BLOOD PRESSURE DANGER ZONE

Tasty tacos -- if you can even find this place -- but be prepared to wait a long time, even if you…read moreare the only customer during the off season (late-September).   We ordered fish tacos, once we rounded up the cook/owner, who was at her compost heap instead of the food truck, even though she'd been "open" for over an hour. She then said that she didn't have any rice and beans cooked, so she'd give us four tacos instead of three to compensate. Okay, that seemed fair. Then she confessed that she still had to make the tacos, so it would take about 20 minutes, and suggested that we should go sightseeing. Well, we'd already been sightseeing all morning and were ready to eat! Plus we'd spent hours the previous day trying to find this place because she hadn't updated her location for months online, only updating it the morning we placed our order. Even with the new address, it was puzzling to find. The only sign was on the northern perimeter, giving the impression it was the neighbor's driveway that led to the food truck, so we pulled in there initially. The truck is actually tucked parallel to the side of her house, down a long driveway -- so it's essentially hidden from the road unless one really scans the entire property while driving by.  When the order was finally ready, we couldn't charge the meal because her credit system wouldn't read a standard VISA with a chip or a swipe. So be sure you have Canadian currency. There's no place to sit or eat there, so we drove to the national park to eat. The tacos were tasty and a good quality. We particularly liked that the fish wasn't heavily battered. All the other food trucks we've tried across the country are good-to-go when we are, so the food is ready to be cooked or plated, and the order is ready in minutes. This cook/owner needs to rethink her priorities, especially during open hours. If she'd had all of her food ready to be ordered, we wouldn't have cared if she was moonlighting in the compost while she waited for customers.

Fantastic sort of "hole in the wall" on the island. Best to call ahead since everything - including…read morethe tortillas - are made fresh to order. We showed up and ordered at the truck, however, which worked out just fine as we waited in the car. The tacos were delicious, and the homemade Mexican chocolate ice cream was amazing. Well worth the stop during your stay on the island, especially if you want to eat something different from the typical island fare.

Authentic Mexican? Absolutely not. Regardless, still one of my favorite places to dine in the…read moreBangor area. Hands down they have the BEST house margaritas. They are a little pricey, but have plenty of tequila in them which is a win considering most restaurants play off a sugary concoction as a margarita. Complementary chips and salsa are very good-- highly recommend asking for the two hot sauces if you can handle a little heat! Also, I had their guacamole for the First time on my last visit and was blown away! It's definitely going to be a regular thing for me to order there now! You can't go wrong with their quesadillas, they are consistently wonderful! I highly recommend asking for a side of chipotle ranch for dipping, you won't be disappointed. My other go to meals here is the taco salad with house dressing (a well seasoned oil/vinegar mixture) and chicken tortilla soup. Service is consistently wonderful as is the atmosphere. I always look forward to Pepino's.

The service was excellent. The food was not what I was expecting. Bland. I knew it would be…read moreTexMex, but this was so, so bland, and oddly presented. The salsa seemed sweet, like canned spaghetti sauce mixed with onion. The jalepeno poppers had zero heat and they were clearly from a frozen bag. Uniform in shape and size ...industrial. The center cheese was cold. I ordered the chicken fajitas and was presented with 3 whole chicken tenderloins on a grill plate with a tiny amount of green peppers and onions. Very little spice, no salt, bland, bland, bland. The cheese was not Cotija, it was shredded Monterey Jack I think. I tasted no chili, no cumin, no herbs. The rice resembled Southern dirty rice...not Mexican rice. I had to ask for cilantro amd lime. I was given about 1 teaspoon full of cilantro in a plastic cup, and 3 thin slices of lime from the bar. The service was great: my server was kind, attentive, and on point. 5 stars for service. 2 stars for food. It wasn't "bad," it just wasn't great or even close to TexMex or Mexican. Very bland, not freshly made on site...just meh. Reminded me of what one might serve in a school cafeteria or nursing home on "International Day."
