This is one of our favorite Mexican places. We've always had a good meal and service, tonight was no exception. We love that it's very family friendly and the kids love the free chips at the beginning. Since it's a Mexican restaurant, their types of margaritas is extensive. My favorite is the frozen strawberry but I've had others and they are all excellent. Everything on their menu is good, but the CBR (chicken bacon ranch) tacos are a crowd pleaser. The refried beans and Mexican rice are pretty standard but good. The kids meals come with applesauce and a cookie. There are a lot of Mexican places in Manchester and everyone has a different favorite but this is mine!

We were met by the most unpleasant staff last night when we came in for something to eat. I understand the restaurant closing @ 10, we walked in at 9:30 and the looks on the faces of the staff could kill. Our waitress was so unfriendly, it was the worst 30 min I have ever spent in a restaurant in my life. After all the angry faces and poor service we still gave that waitress a 30% tip... Why? I dont know...

We waited about 15 minutes for our waitress to take our drink order. We had two small kids with us and everything took forever. There were not many people there and it still took 2 hours from when we walked in until we left. The food wasn't good at all.. I was very disappointed in this experience. I ordered a munchwrap .. it came with bacon and I don't eat bacon. The waitress said they always put it in even though it's not on the menu. A lot of people can't eat bacon because of their religion or other reasons. They did end up taking $10 off the bill, but kept reiterating it's made with bacon. I won't be going back to this location. We always go to Nashua and it's almost always a much better experience. I also found a hair in my food... Which was the icing on the cake.

If I wanted microwaved Mexican food this is the place for you. Food is bland. Service is ok, not great but not terrible.

Been coming here for years, bar staff has always been on point, friendly and attentive. Takeout was also great but now service is slipping and so is the quality.Our past few takeout orders wound up not having sides and salad dressing. This has been an ongoing issue as the folks handling front of house really seem one struggling with doing their job.Out last dine in experience wound up with one of our guests coming down sick after eating their meal. This hasn’t happened before and now we’re thinking we are going to stop going here now.Add to that another order came out wrong and nobody came by to see if we wanted any water or even offer to clear any of our dishes off the table.It just seemed that everyone was on autopilot and could have cared less. It’s a shame because after 10 years you can really see the decline.

It had been quite a while since going there. It was good. Some beloved items weren't seen on the menu anymore. It was relatively convenient location-wise at the time. It was a nice change of pace. A bit more sour cream being included would be a suggestion. There was barely any there when it came out. Profits wouldn't be impacted greatly by doing so. The waiter was OK. It's a nice place, and too bad the original Litchfield, NH location is no longer an option.

I wanted enchiladas, but they were out of those. Not sure how that happens in a Mexican restaurant, but it did. Cilantro lime rice was ordered as a side for one of the meals. They were out of that as well and substituted without asking what we wanted it substituted with. The portions are large, but the food is flavorless. Service was lacking as well.

I love the espinacha and river city beans. It's cute inside. However the drinks could be better

they ALWAYS forget the guac and sides when ordering takeout
