Stopped in between lunch and dinner to meet up with a friend. They have a large outdoor seating…read morearea, a huge bar that takes up much of the inside and booth seating along the outside walls. We chose to sit at the bar. A basket of tortilla chips and salsa was brought and we ordered beverages. We sat and chatted for a couple of hours. The restaurant was mostly empty during our visit with a few lunch diners still in house who left during our stay. Once we had drinks, the bartender was not in sight. They did come by once to ask if we would like to order another beverage. Our pre-paid parking time was running out and we needed to run. Could not find our bartender. We sorted that out and were able to get back to our cars as the parking maid was making the rounds. Portsmouth does not mess around with paid parking! The interior is festive Mexican. Single bathrooms for Female, Male and family, so 3 total restrooms. Parking is paid city lots. Entrance is up a set of steps. Outdoor dining in a pedestrian area.

My friend's & I wanted to come here to try out their soft serve Margarita & wanted to sit outside…read more We went up to the hostess station & once we were finally greeted (a little bit of a wait) & told the young girl she said "we can't sit you outside, do you want to go inside?" & I immediately said "no." There were a couple of empty tables so not sure why we couldn't sit outside?? But she then says "oh, I found you a table!" lol Service took forever....soooooooo SLOW it was painful. It was busy & I saw @ least 3 servers and peeps running out food. Our waitress was very nice, Sophie but the wait for EVERYTHING was torture. Menus, silverware & chips and salsa did come out quickly but we weren't there to eat. Their salsa was horrible, it was sooo thin & tasted like a cheap spaghetti sauce or like a can of tomatoes puréed. Thumbs down for that. Our soft serve margaritas were super cute & colorful but also really, really small & for $13 not worth the $$$$. Those took forever to come out. She brought 2 out @ first & we had to wait for the machine to make more to get the other 2. It didn't taste like a margarita but tasted like an italian ice, a very sour one. This isn't on the menu, you have to ask for it. We ventured off to another Mexican bar to try their's out which was huge, creamy & tasted like a Margarita. We spent way more time in this place than we wanted to due to the very slow service. I doubt I will be back here to even try out their food, sorry guys......maybe inside the service may have been quicker?

The restaurant was dirty to say the least and the staff serving food were not the cleanest in appearance as well. Most were pleasant, but one was extremely rude and impatient. A woman who might have been a boss, was talking loudly at the staff on how awful the day was . The food was fair I would say ...by the beans were undercooked rather hard.. If cleanliness and pride by the owner and staff in a restaurant are important to you then you might want to consider another Mexican restaurant !

Okay, so this is one of those places that IS as cool as it seems on social media!…read more Lots of seating options, but we chose to sit at the bar overlooking Main St. It's a narrow counter top and there's nowhere to put your bag, so just a heads-up there if you like a little more space. The staff was fantastic! So patient, great recommendations (I doubted something she suggested, and what she suggested ended up being way better then what I wanted), was available to us when we needed and also did a great job just leaving us alone to chat. Really couldn't have asked for better service! The vibes are fun! It's somehow both family friendly and trendy? The drinks are great! I had a specialty banana rum punch and the Pink Dragon (mezcal, lime, dragon fruit, agave, black salt). I'm not a tequila girlie, but the person next to us had one and it was such an attractive beverage. My only regret? I didn't have two! The food was amazing! Bless these restaurants that are out here serving up quality vegan food. We had the specialty guacamole (it was topped with mango and chile lime seasoning, I believe) and it was a SOLID portion for the price point. I also got: 1) the BBQ jackfruit taco (with coco pineapple BBQ sauce, slaw, picked onions) and while it was filling, it was pretty underwhelming. When I look back at my pics, I'm wondering if they forgot to add the sauce? 2) the Impossible Taco (pico de gallo, vegan chipotle crema, cabbage) was stupid good. GET THIS. I wish I had gotten two of these. It was savory, and satisfying, and dangerously crushable (I'm convinced I could eat four). 3) the Treehouse Slaw (broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, brussels with an avocado crema), which I could eat every single day. Crunchy, perfectly dressed, a contrasting and complimentary side to the Impossible Taco. This. Is. A. Must. Visit.

The restaurant has a very funky and chill vibe. It's got good energy and just the right amount of noisiness. We had the short rib tacos and they were absolutely delicious.

They do have a very well organized text alert system so you can go shop around Ogunquit while you're waiting for your table.

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!!

Ambiance is great! Lively interior with a wraparound bar and lots of booth seating…read more In terms of service, the host was not very attentive. 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!
