I wasnt offered chips and salsa though for some reason and that salsa wouldve been nice to have. My mom LOVED the Jerry Garcia and said it was just as good cold the next day. The Hot Mess burrito was massive for $17.99. I enjoyed it thoroughly but next time I will get the East L.A. Burrito.

Several dishes lacked flavor, and the overall quality was not what we expected. The service was just as disappointing. It was slow, inattentive, and we didn't feel like our table was a priority. Good customer service can make up for a lot, but sadly that wasn't the case during our visit. We understand that every restaurant can have an off night, but based on our experience, both the food and the service need significant improvement. We genuinely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on providing a better experience for future customers.

While it has been awhile since I last wrote a review I thought this dining experience warranted one. Experience: - The Square is super cute and offers ample parking. -The bathrooms smell awful, from the moment you walk in the hallway there is clearly a plumbing issue present which has been present our last two visits.. rough way to start your experience at a restaurant. -The menu, no issue with prices going up but using white out over the prices, hand writing new prices which is barely legible is tacky to say the least. -Following our order the food came out nearly immediately and it was clear the guacamole to our main dishes are made in advance and not done well. - To the mgmt team -3% surcharge to use a credit card is a joke, add it to your price or offer a cash/ debit discount not the other way around. On the food side: -The beans were prepared with way too much salt.. inedible was the way we would describe it.. -Mexican rice was awful. No sign of a single vegetable or herbs... Mexican rice should and can be made flavorful with ease by any chef. -The guacamole was clearly made well in advance and brown... I'm sorry, happy to pay a premium for guac at a restaurant but this product shows no effort to ensure freshness. -Main dishes , both submerged in oil and our chicken was served nearly cold... fajitas served lukewarm and lacking flavor which seems hard to do but that was our experience. - Drinks - the unsweetened ice tea was served carbonated for some odd reason from their soda machine... not drinkable sorry. Service: - servers were kind and attentive, checking in routinely for anything we may need which was deeply appreciated. After a few shots at this restaurant we both agreed there is a reason the restaurant is empty, the food , the ambiance, the overall experience for our hard earned money. TLDR for the restaurant - take pride in your food, take a fresh look at the diners experience, Mexican food should be vibrant, flavorful and delicious, this is by far the worst finished product we have ever had in NH and simply put not worth a visit unless something drastic changes.

We have been here many times since they opened. Sometimes twice a week and it was great!…read more Yesterday, however, was nothing to be happy about. We came in on a Sunday afternoon. I got the Frida's tacos and my husband got the chicken fajita. I got a Pacifico and hubby just had ginger ale. When the food came out, my tacos were hot and tasty. My husband received the sides that go with the fajitas and waited, and waited for the actual fajita! I felt bad eating my tacos while he only had sides. When the fajita finally came, the tortillas were so overcooked, they were crunchy, like a cracker and deep brown! Once our waiter put our food down, that was the last we saw of him. My beer was empty and stayed empty. It's difficult to eat without something to drink and, after about 15 minutes, I took my empty glass up to the bar and asked the bartender to please give me some water! He actually looked embarrassed and I could see he was looking around to see where our waiter went but he was nowhere in sight. It was not busy. There were only 3 or 4 tables with people at them. After so many positive experiences at Frida we did not expect this! One other thing is the music they were playing from the 80's was SO LOUD I couldn't hear myself think! We had to shout at each other to have a conversation! I had to shout at our waiter to order the food! I like to have music playing too but not so excessively LOUD that I struggle to have a conversation. This was ok,I guess, on a Friday or Saturday night but not on a Sunday afternoon! Anyway, by the time we tracked down our waiter (Salvatore), and showed him the crunchy, brown, tortillas, he offered to bring new ones but, by that time, my hubby's chicken fajita was cold....so we declined. We left all the food on the table and went home. Once we were out the door, we both looked at each other and said, "We won't be back!"

Our main course was a Burrito Bowl with shrimp, cheese and chopped salad which was great. They give you so much food! Delicious is an understatement for their food. My wife had chicken quesadilla which had refried beans, cheese and chopped lettuce. It was so big my wife couldn't eat it all. She asked for a take out container!

They offer full service dining, takeout, and DoorDash delivery. The bright dining has long bar with seating to the left and plenty of table seating, yellow & brown painted walls, and a colorful mural. I stopped in for dinner at Iguana's very recently. The place was not too busy and I could sit anywhere I wanted. The owner greeted me and brought out complementary crunchy tortilla chips & red tomato salsa. He also brought out homemade green salsa, which was very good. I ordered water, a Poland Spring bottle ($2) and the Chicken Fajitas ($13.50 plus tax) served with rice and black beans. The chicken fajitas were served very hot on a skillet with fresh red & green peppers, onions, yellow zucchini and tender strips of chicken breast, a bit oily on the skillet. The side plate had soft Mexican rice, cup of black beans, and a green salad with pico de gallo. There was no guacamole or sour cream on the plate. I did have to request warm soft tortillas (I got 2) after being served. The portion of food was very generous and I was very full, so no dessert. Overall, I had a good dinner at Iguana's. The food was fresh, tasty, and very filling. What I liked about this place is that it was laid back and not mobbed or very busy like the other sitdown Manchester Mexican restaurants including Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, La Carreta, and Mi Jalisco. I actually had a good quiet dinner with the owner checking up on me to see how things were.

Finding parking was initially cumbersome as this mill area has small parking areas and even fewer unmarked parking spaces, seemed that even the janitor had a reserved space.

There are river views and booths with tufted seats, but even the inside seating was quite comfortable. For those not in a group, online reservations are available on the restaurant's website as well as Open Table app. Service was superb, even with split checks. Which translated to additional tips for the waiter, well deserved. Food was delicious. I had the Capers salad with added salmon. The salad was fresh, crispy, tasty.
