The service is super quick, the menu is full of tasty, fresh, authentic mexican food, and the prices are amazing. Free refills on drinks, bottomless chips and salsa, and they even have an option for homemade guacamole (table side)!! 100/10, fave restaurant!!

So happy we stopped here during our travels. Angel was our server. Very prompt & helpful. The lady assisting him was kind, attentive, and also prompt. The chips were warm and the salsa was fresh. We had the Luise combo with crunchy taco & tamale with rice & Charro Beans, also a chile relleno and steak quesadilla. Everything was great! We will definitely stop in again during our next travels.

Surprisingly excellent Mexican restaurant given the plain exterior of its building. The flavors are different, but similar to Southern and Central Coast California where we’re from, but this is better by far! Food is made in house and fresh. The mole enchiladas and salsas were phenomenal. The white beans were especially good. Hubs had “gorgeous” burrito and mowed it down in one go when he usually takes half home. Great service and decor, as well as reasonably priced.

Best mexican food in New Hampshire 100% the flavors are amazing, I am never disappointed. I love this place so much and always recommend it to people, the servers are always nice and very helpful. The prices are not bad for what you get and they are very accommodating for vegetarians. They also have a bar in the back and its super cute and is a nice place to sit and have a couple margaritas with your friends.
