    The Hawaiian fajitas are delish!
    Kate P.

    I loved everything about this place! The decor, the food, the staff. It was a great experience from beginning to end. They brought out chips and salsa right off and the salsa was flavorful and even had a little bite. The chips were warm and crisp. They had so many things i wanted to try but i ordered the Hawaiian fajitas and hubs had the Diego burrito. When I saw the food I wished we had brought a cooler and that I hadn't eaten so many of those chips! The fajitas were served in a pineapple and had steak and chicken and chorizo. I asked for no shrimp. The flavors were so good! I loved the mango salsa and could eat that right out of the container! The rice and beans were yummy too! I had barely started on the inside of the pineapple and I was stuffed! Somehow hubs managed to eat his entire burrito. Next time definitely will bring a cooler and take home what I cant finish. I also ordered a virgin pineapple coconut margarita. It was probably the only thing I didn't love but it was very good. I think I just prefer it with the alcohol. Looking at the desserts I was wishing I had some space but I literally could not eat another bite. Highly recommend u try it out!

    We decided to celebrate a friend's birthday at this restaurant since it is conveniently located near her home. The restaurant is located near the airport in a plaza with plenty of available parking. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by colorful Mexican decorations, including murals and paintings that create a festive atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed and offered the choice of sitting outside, in the main dining room, or in the bar area. We chose the main dining room. Shortly after being seated, our server brought warm chips, salsa, and water and took our drink orders. I requested a separate dish of salsa, which he said could be accommodated, but it never arrived. Throughout the meal, our drinks and water glasses remained empty for extended periods, and refills were not offered unless we specifically requested them. My friend ordered the Fajita Hawaiana and enjoyed the flavors of her meal. However, the elevated serving dish made it somewhat awkward to eat comfortably at the table. The toppings were served together on the side, leaving little room to assemble the fajitas. Although she found the dish tasty, she ultimately packed most of it to enjoy at home. I ordered a combination plate with a chicken burrito and chicken quesadilla, served with Mexican rice and black beans. Unfortunately, the chicken was somewhat dry, and the sauce on the burrito was tangier than I expected and somehow tasted like salty tomato sauce. Overall, the flavors did not stand out and left me underwhelmed. We decided to cut our visit short and get dessert at a different location.

    This place is a no-brainer: Awesome atmosphere. Excellent Service ... bartenders were friendly and personable! Our chicken and steak fajita with rice and beans was almost like homemade! Super yummy margaritas!! Affordable! Has to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Manchester area.

    What a pleasant surprise!!! In an area that is traditionally known for in and out of airport (gas station, industrial, McDonalds), a hidden gem in a strip mall. Sat at the bar. The bartender was amazing. Drinks were so good and his personality made dinner fun! Food very good too. Will definitely add this to our monthly rotation!

    Tried this place for the first time with a couple of friends and they had a good variety of Mexican food. Plenty of vegetarian options and interesting drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Ambiance was very pleasant and it was packed on a Tuesday. Would definitely come back to try other dishes.

    Several additional visits and it's still muy bueno plus. Juanita continues to excel at the masa game, churning out most excellent huaraches, tortillas and other corn masa centric delights. As well as doing an at your table guac creation, if desired. My only nit is that a recent camarones a la diabla was decidedly not diabla. Totally delicious but not spicy. Odd, since they clearly DO do spice, as shown with their salsa macha (wow - is THAT spicy!) Service continues friendly, atmosphere welcoming and food spot on.

    It was our first visit here. The restaurant is located in strip mall. This might be the most stylish and high-end Mexican/ Latin restaurant in the Manchester area. The interior is very lovely and modern. They have a killer bar that looks like a great place to take a date on and drink some margaritas. The menu itself is very extensive, it is also quite pricey. The prices rival Los Angeles. They do have a lunch special, with limited choices. Still pricey, but maybe a better option if you're on a budget. Overall the service was good but communication was a bit strained. The food itself was of high quality and decent flavor. I appreciate the free chips and salsa given with the meal. They have an abuelita making the tortillas, and we were looking forward to those flour tortillas. However, compared to Los Angeles, the tortillas were quite delicate and broke apart when we tried to eat them. We will come here again, and maybe try their hard tacos. Couple issues to address for management, the music is quite loud at times and annoying. It prevents conversation. I would dial it down to like a 3 out of 10. Also, the menus themselves, at least our menus were poorly done. The bindings on them made them very hard to open and read as you can see from my menu photos.

    The sign that you're at the right place.

    I stopped in to Raices finally this weekend and found it to be as wonderful as everyone mentions. The food was delicious, quesadilla, rice, beans, and burritos. So much good food that it was hard to decide on what to have. I was thankful for the pick two and two. A little of everything. Sitting at the bar, I found the staff to be wonderfully friendly and the design of the bar is beautiful and so perfectly Mexican. I'll definitely be back!

    This was my sister's meal and she raved about it!

Bartender asks "How is everything?" I say, "Everything is good. Will be better when the nachos get here." He smiles apologetically. I say, "I get it, it's Saturday night." That's the last time any staff acknowledges us. Thirty minutes later, no nachos. We finally get a barback's attention. He runs to get someone. Forty-five minutes later, and I'm pretty sure our order went out with some DoorDash driver. What I am sure of is that we're never getting our nachos. We ask for our check. No delay getting that in front of us. No explanation or apologies. No manager as far as I could tell. We pay for our drinks, and leave. I head down the block to get get two slices of cheese pizza. The food here has always been good. The service until now had been great, at worst adequate. I don't know what happened here. A dropped order isn't a new thing. Maybe an inexperienced manager who got overwhelmed. Maybe they're prioritizing to go orders. This was one of the best restaurants on Elm St. Looks like those days are over. Go for lunch. Maybe an early dinner on a weekday. Or maybe just DoorDash: it will be cold, but you'll have food.

We arrived about an hour before closing & had no issues getting a table for two. Shortly after receiving utensils and the menus, we were given complimentary chips & salsa! The salsa was tasty & has a nice kick to it. I found it very additive to eat with the chips. We ended up ordering these dishes to try: - empanadas (chicken, beef, & pork) - quesabirrias; Birria tacos w/ consommé + rice & beans - Birria quesadilla w/ consommé + rice + salad OMG, everything tasted AMAZING! All of our dishes came PIPING hot, including the consommé dips for the Birria tacos and quesadilla. The quesabirrias were my favorite & star of the show for me. They were perfectly crispy, seasoned well, & I also loved how light (yet still flavorful) the consommé was! This came with rice & beans and let me tell you... I normally don't even eat refried beans but I couldn't help myself today because I find that refried beans can be too thick & sometimes burnt. This was not the case today though! Also paired super well with the rice & a little lime. The Birria quesadilla was yummy. It was loaded with lots of meat & cheese. Great portion sizes! For our appetizer, we ordered one of each empanada protein option they had: one chicken, one beef, and one pork. I didn't have a favorite empanada because honestly they were all really tasty! Full of flavor & came loaded with cheese. I will definitely be back again the next time I'm in Manchester, NH! Service was wonderful, restaurant was clean, & food was perfect. Highly recommend trying El Rincon Zacatecano if you find yourself in the area ;)

I do think the big cups = more juice/ mix, which I do not prefer. Tacos were good. There is free parking in the back on the weekends!!

When I walked in…read moreit was empty and the lady behind the counter looked at me as if I shouldn't be there so I kindly asked if they were open and she said yes. 1st impression not so good in my opinion. I said I would like to place an order to go and she grabbed her pad. I ordered the following menu items so we could give them a try and see if they compared to our favorite Mexican place. 1st I said I'd like to get the Mexican Steak and I had to point at the menu item-the lady said NO, I said ok can I get the Steak Ranchero she said ok then I said with NO beans, she repeated no beans to me, I said yes, then she said ok. 2nd I said I would like the Solocarne Fajitas-I asked if I could do half chicken half beef she said NO, I said ok-then she said ok. 3rd I said I would like the guacamole and she said NO. 4th I said I would like to order some tacos. I said I want 2 chicken tacos, she said ok, I then said I want 2 steak tacos, she said ok and lastly I said I would like 2 Chorizo tacos, she said ok. She went to get the food ready. Without getting into details of watching that circus and having the uncomfortable silence I waited roughly 30 minutes while she heated up the food (she pulled all of it from her fridge and or her condiment station. I got the food and headed home so we could try it out again based on good reviews. The steak Ranchero steak was pale in color which told me either it was old or it was boiled either way it was terrible and chewy. I had said no bean I got beans which were gross along with the incredibly dried out rice. The Solocarne Fajitas steak was like the bits you get from the grease trap and chewy/fatty. The rice was just as dry as mine and the beans were gross. Even the veggies weren't good. Instead of 6 tacos we got just 4-2 chicken 1 steak and 1 chorizo. Not sure if I was charged for 6 or not because I was never given a detailed receipt. The taco shells were so dry we tossed them out, all the meat was so dry we didn't finish! The only thing that seemed good was the cilantro. This place in my opinion is terrible so I am very surprised at all the good reviews but to each their own.

The food was cooked fresh to order and ready in about 25 minutes as promised, packed in two styrofoam boxes. The chicken fajitas consisted of marinated tender boneless chicken pieces, green peppers, red peppers, onions, and tomatoes, served with 4 warm soft corn tortillas and lettuce, tomato, & sour cream. The yellow rice was cooked firm and had a good chicken flavor. The refried black beans were very soft and smooth. The chicken fajitas I had were very good and not too greasy either.
