Went here for lunch with hubs and two kids (6 and 13). Food was superb! Authentic, fresh made guac at the table, kids menu was plentiful for our picky eater. The margs were perfection in super cool glasses. Service was happy, attentive, pleasant and not rushing us at all. We will be back asap! read more

I could only have one since I was driving ... lol but I cranky wit to come back with my husband to have two drinks - perfection! The staff was attentive and welcoming - it's a must try read more

OMG SO GOOD!!! Came here with my son and co-parent, and the flavors were phenomenal. Coming from Texas, I am pretty picky about my Mexican food, and this was legitimately the best Mexican I've had in a very very long time. I loved the fun skull mugs they used for margaritas, and the drinks are delicious -- I've never had a blueberry mojito before! My son and I got the Frida enchiladas and Oh. My. Gosh were they amazing. The wait staff was efficient and friendly, and the owner (manager?) came out to check we were being served after our drink orders were taken. Even though my friend/co-parent is trans we never felt like they were treating her differently. It's super rare to find a delicious place that has such a high-standard of customer service, and I hope Raices continues to be successful for years to come! read more

No idea how this place is well reviewed...Terrible service, worse food. I ordered the Tres Amigos and could not even eat it. The only halfway decent thing was the black beans. Everything was overcooked and under seasoned. Total disappointment. I have been here before and the guacamole was good, but my tacos were terrible. I returned tonight to give it another chance because I really want to like this place, but even this time the guacamole was under seasoned, no salt. I will not be trying a third time. read more

Food is amazing! Service is amazing! There's a woman there who makes the tortillas right in front of you which is something unique! 10/10 experience read more

Very nice ambience upon entering this new restaurant. There were 3 of us, and we were seated right away. We were served the standard warm chips and salsa as an appetizer. Ordered the (3) steak taco platter, vegetable fajitas platter, and enchiladas plate. All three dishes were superb. Everything was made fresh and had authentic Mexican flavors. Best Mexican food I have ever had in New Hampshire. Tad pricey but everything is freshly made, right down to the corn tortillas. Kind of hope this place stays a hidden gem! Highly recommended. read more

Pros: Very tasty food, fun atmosphere. Fajitas were delicious and Enchilada Rancheras with red sauce were phenomenal. The homemade tortillas were fire. Service was great considering how busy they were. Cons: little expensive and the house marg was very sweet (but the other margs looked awesome so I'll try one of them next time.) read more

Tonight, Hubby and I tried Raices Authentic Mexican Cuisine on Brown Ave. Fantastic! We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful interior. We decided on a high top table in the bar area. The service was impeccable (Root was our server and he was awesome). Chips and salsa were delivered immediately along with menus. We declined fresh guacamole but saw many people enjoying it, as it is made fresh at your table! (Next time!). We had a house marg and a papacito. We tried the taco dinner and chimichanga. Portions are large - half came home with us. The food and drinks were delicious. We honestly can't wait to return- it was that good. read more

Absolutely recommend, without hesitation. The food was wonderful and authentic, the service was really kind and genuine. I highly recommend the table side guacamole, the Carnitas dinner. They have a good selection of vegetarian dishes also. We were visiting from out of town and choosing Raíces for dinner was an excellent decision. read more

I stopped here with my husband and our young kids on my way to the Manchester airport and had a fabulous dinner. The service was wonderful--everyone was so friendly and took great care of us. And the meal was delicious and fast! Perfect way to fill up before my flight and to convince my family to drive me and see me off They liked it so much they ate here again a few days later when they came back to get me! read more

I don't review much -- but when I do, it's for the extremes. Raices is exceptional. Presentation, flavor, temperature, and the little personal touches... This place is incredible. I had steak fajitas with the house margarita, and I couldn't have walked away happier. July was an amazing bartender, and sent me packing with a full belly, and very happy. I'll be coming back for more authentic Mexican cuisine!! read more

Wow...Raices is just brilliantly killing it across the board. Unbelievably perfect in every way. This fab restaurant opened down the street from us about a month ago in a spot that had seemingly been cursed. A few banks that had repeatedly been robbed, then a Thai place that we thought was dismal and depressing (despite other people seeming to love them), so we were happy when they found another location. We were cautiously hopeful to hear about a Mexican place opening, but expectations were low given this spot's history. Yet, as we followed their journey to opening day, it was clear how much thought was going into every single decision. Fingers were crossed! On launch day, we somehow weren't in the mood to eat out, so we did an online order that was ready very quickly. The food was good, but not as good as we thought it could be in person. They'd done a great job packaging things separately, and I think we got overwhelmed trying to figure out what went with what when it got it home. However, the ceviche tostada was SO magnificent, and that one dish alone told me that we simply had to eat there in person. Everything was so fresh and well made, but it was clear we needed an in-person experience. So tonight, five of us ventured in, and from minute one, we were smiling. The interior has had a much-needed and very stylish makeover, with super comfortable seating and a modern slat partition separating the main dining area from the bar (which, BTW, has a stupendous Day of the Dead hand-painted mural on the back wall). Such a lovely ambiance, including Mexican music at a reasonable volume that didn't cut off conversation and only added to the feel of the restaurant. We were so warmly welcomed in and attended to all night by Julie and Harry. Both were funny, kind, charming, and professional, and so clearly devoted to Raices and their customers. Julie let us personalize dishes without raising an eyebrow, and got any accommodations perfectly. Most importantly, the food! The five of us ordered a bunch of things to share, which I totally recommend so that you can sample a bit of everything. The guacamole is made outside the kitchen by the woman who also cooks up all the tortillas on a flattop, and she'll customize it as you like (ie: with or without cilantro, jalapeño, etc.), and it was some of the best I've ever had. You get a heaping serving in an authentic Molcaiete Mexicano that goes beautifully alongside the free chips and salsa you get when you are seated. Queso dips come out literally bubbling hot, and the only joking complaint is that they're so cheesy that it's impossible to separate the dip from the chip even two feet away, lol. Because I'd loved the ceviche tostada so much from our first order, I had to try it again, and pushed it on the other shrimp lovers with us. Drooling. My talented chef husband gave me a bit of a glare when I said it's one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life, but it's a perfect balance of sweet and salty, and each ingredient (as with all of their dishes) is so damn fresh. The chiles poblanos also deserve a special shout out (wild scream out?). A giant portion stuffed with cheese and topped with red sauce and more cheese? Nothing to not like there. Our table also shared delicious chicken fajitas and tacos and then finished with fried ice cream (with a nicely rich chocolate giant bomb of ice cream) and the mango cheesecake that was much, much lighter than most cheesecakes. Both were unique and delectable! The drink menu is extensive (and mouthwatering), and nothing but rave reviews for their margaritas (again something they are happy to tweak to your preference). Not sure what the house Sauvignon blanc was, but it was decidedly chilled (thank you!) and very, very good. Not the usually crummy junk wine thrown out there. I'm selfishly overjoyed to have such a yummy place so close to where I live, but also equally overjoyed that such a lovely group of people are hitting it home after such clear hard and thoughtful work. Manchester has a number of very good Mexican restaurants, but not any that I know of that give you this kind of unofficial fine dining experience. Or, really, any restaurants that treasure their customers the way Raices did tonight. We were there for three hours and never once felt rushed. They knew and loved that we were there to savor the food and the experience, letting us order rounds of food to share as we liked. And again, kudos to our servers, Harry (who told me he is the owner's nephew) and Julie. Harry talked for a bit with the person in our group who had ordered a drink off the menu and was genuinely interested to learn what she'd created. Suspect we might see it show up on their cocktail list now, ha ha! And I had to hug Julie before we left, lol, because we'd had such a phenomenal night. Welcome to Manchester, Raices! We love you and look forward to many years ahead with you! read more

Best of New England. Great food and service. The attention to detail is outstanding. The ambience is outstanding and the food is authentic.

First time trying Raices. Greeted warmly by hostess. Our server named " C" was terrific. Knowledgeable about the menu, dishes, etc. Wasn't crowded on a Wednesday night at 6. Food was excellent. Flavorful and abundant. I got a burrito and it was huge. Frozen house margaritas were delicious and affordable at $10.99 Definitely will return to try other flavorful dishes. Bar area is very creatively decorated nice vibe. read more

Food was excellent and the service was great. Looking forward to our next visit soon.

This place is awesome. Place was packed on a Saturday afternoon. Good sign. The first thing my wife and I noticed was happy all the staff were to see us and make sure our time there was a pleasant experience. We sat at the bar for lunch and they were super attentive and quickly refilled drinks, chips and kept checking in with a smile. We both ordered burritos. They were huge and delicious. So happy someone recommended this place to us. No doubt we will return. read more

My husband and I tried this place today, based on the Yelp rating, and we were beyond pleased! The ambiance has a genuine Mexican feel. The drinks were not only delicious, they are beautifully presented. The food was authentic and fresh- and was soooo good! The portions are beyond generous, my burrito was about the size of me. We were most impressed by the service! Every person that walked by us, greeted us with a smile. Our bartender/ server (her name is Xi) is the epitome of tremendous customer service. Not only was she attentive and friendly, she was truly excited about the quality of food that she was serving us. I ordered my food and drinks based on her recommendations, she was right. This will definitely be our go-to for Mexican moving forward. Thank you for the great experience! read more

Popped in for the first time today and the food was good. Good chips and salsa. The Jarritos and Mexican cokes are about 4$ a pop. The Ranchero wings were good and ive never had anything like those before. Creamy and full of flavor. 17$ for about 10. The lunch chimichangas are good. The unrefried pinto beans was a first for me but they were good. The grilled chicken lunch chimi is about the size of a deep fried snickers for15$. The deep fried ice cream had me confused. Looked different than anywhere else ive tried. I wish there was more whipped cream and chocolate sauce. There wasnt even a drizzle on the ice cream, just a smidgen on the plate. All in all the service was exemplary and the food was pretty good. The restaurant table were decorated with seasonal pumpkin candles and the tvs had nice scenic views on them. Cool bar seated station to watch them make and cook tortillas. Also another full bar area and lounge. read more

Amazing! Best Mexican food I have had. Great atmosphere and service. Will be back for sure!

Tried this restaurant for the first time. The food was below average Mexican food at high prices. The drinks were below average. The atmosphere was so noisy that you couldn't hear the person across the table. Very disappointed. read more

Friendly service and food came out quickly despite being a really busy night. Everything tasted really good. Nice place.

Incredible authentic food, incredible service - the wait staff was so kind. Can't wait to go back!!

We love good Mexican food and in the greater Manchester area, the food has been adequate at best. Raices has raised the bar for all others. We have dined there a number of times now and the food is the most authentic around. The food is fresh and they offer all kinds of interesting interpretations of classic Mexican dinners and not the typical TexMex you see at other places. This has become our go to Mexican in greater Manchester. read more

We had a wonderful lunch yesterday. The staff through out the restaurant was so friendly. Our waitress was Wendy & she was great. The drinks were so good & the food was delicious. We couldn't get over the great customer service. Beautiful decorations & so clean. I wish I lived closer, we stopped to meet a friend that lives in NH. If I am in the area we would love to dine there again! Thank you!!! read more
