When I ordered it, the waitress told me it would take about 20 minutes to make this dish. As that is customary for this dish, I ordered it. My wife ordered a chicken burrito.. While waiting, we got to checkout the place and we really liked how unpretentious it was. It just felt like a down home place to eat. When dinner arrived, the burrito looked huge and the presentation was a nice touch. As for the Paella, not only did it look good, it was without a doubt the best I have ever had. Both meals were big enough that we both brought half our dinners home. I've seen comments about it being expensive, sorry but, we go out to eat a few times a month and the meal here was basically the same as we pay for most dinners we get. if you are looking for something a little more authentic than most places around here, this is THE place. The staff went above and beyond and truthfully, you could tell they knew a lot of their customers from past visits. Again, we will be back.

We were really excited because this place had a line out the door. Waited about 15 mins to be sat…read moreand our server was really friendly. It became disappointing when the food started to arrive. We got chips and guac and the guac had an overwhelming amount of onion in it. Ok, fine, we were then looking forward to our mains. We ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and the Tostadas. Both had what we would guess as unseasoned boiled chicken. UNSEASONED chicken in a restaurant feels crazy, borderline offensive. Like so bland and boring, and the tortilla the enchiladas came in felt uncooked? So unseasoned chicken in an uncooked tortilla. Really disappointing. I ordered a side of beans (sort of assumed it would come with a side of rice or beans) and it took like 15 mins to come to the table. I wanted to eat them together so I sat with bland food in front of me for 15 mins until the beans could come. Served was busy but didn't check back in on us once the food was dropped. For the price, the food, and the long wait that came with it, I wouldn't recommend spending your money here. :/

Last time I remembered this place, it used to be a breakfast and lunch spot, but El Repado…read moreapparently took over the spot a few years ago and made it probably the best Mexican restaurant in North Conway. I had the Tacos Carne Asada, and it was delicious, although the strips of steak were a little tough. However, sprinkled with cilantro and onions, with the addition of the salsa really brought out the flavors. Had a large (and I mean, large) glass of Modelo Especial, and everything fit together well. Service was great, as I sat at the bar, attended by a very pretty gal. And the inside was decorated nicely, so I was happy that I stopped in!

We (parents and a toddler) arrived hungry after driving two hours and had a hard time getting his attention at times. We arrived before 6pm on a Friday but still there was a wait. Once we were seated, the server was pretty prompt and really friendly, though generally service was somewhat slow with a wait for food. We were waiting almost an hour for entrees and about to change our order to to-go because of stress with our exhausted toddler, but of course that's when the food arrived. We had to shovel it in and leave. The food was the most disappointing part. The chips are clearly not homemade. The salsa didn't have much flavor, and the guacamole was a huge letdown. It had a dull green color and very "slop" style texture (think sour cream texture, not chunky like real guac) that all pointed to store bought / not fresh. I had the chicken enchiladas, and the sides of rice (so salty) and beans (very soupy) brought down an already undesirable dish. The enchiladas were cooked nicely but far too cheesy. The green sauce was nearly tasteless, the red sauce is what made it all edible. Wouldn't ever really come back here. I wish I could say something more positive!

You walk in and the vibe is fun, colorful, and eclectic. It reminded me of a classic Mexican restaurant with a tasteful, funky modern touch. My watermelon margarita was incredible and we got the salsa trio that had a good mix of spicy mango salsa, a mild but flavorful green salsa, and fresh pico de gallo style. The chips did taste homemade but if not still enjoyed the thicker corn style chip you don't usually find in restaurants! We each got 3 street tacos and all were great, even the sweet potato taco! The chicken was chopped a bit thick for street taco style but it was still great flavor, and rice was a bit salty but not unbearable. The service was also incredible, I love a restaurant that boxes up your leftovers for you and our server was super super attentive and friendly. We will be back!!

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.
