Don Quijote Restaurant - mofongo de chicharron y mofongo de camarones ...... Pork mofongo and shrimp mofongo - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I ordered chicharron to go. Maybe a five minute drive back to work, the meat looked like they reheated yesterday's leftovers - dark, dry, and woody. Not how I like my chicharron. I hade maybe three good pieces of meat. Sad for something that cost $20.00... read more

Don Quijote Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Food was fantastic and good portion, but took over 30 min to get it. The staff has very minimal English so it's difficult to order with that in mind if you are not bilingual. It made it awkward as the people and the staff in there made you feel a little out of place when you walk in everyone stared at us. Lastly, I would also have rated this higher on the review but they automatically charge a 15% gratuity tip without you realizing until after the fact. I had tipped 20% and realized it after the fact so there goes a 35% tip and definitely was not warranted! So angry!! read more

Should have considered the reviews before I went in. Overrated and extremely overpriced. Why am I paying $10 for a pork Mofongo that tastes like straight ass and not even edible at all. The shrimp in red sauce was eh, okay, but i've had better. Just go to Boston if you want Dominican or Carribean cuisine. This place sucks. Paid $30 and the only thing I don't regret buying were the Yuca fries... read more

First time here One of the worst food experiences. Nachos were served on top of soggy chips, hunks of ground beef in the burrito were tasteless and boring. Overall mediocre food. read more

Great Dominican food! Good service and reasonable prices. Would recommend and definitely plan to return.

People - 8/10 Food - 7/10 Drinks - 5/10 Decor - 4/10 Restrooms - 5/10 Super cute place in Manchester. I've been to this place a couple of times and the food is mostly good sometimes to hit and miss. the only reason I get four out of five stars is because I've been to other places with similar food and the price for the amount of food I get tends to be a little bit higher here. Now this could be because of the area and it's harder to get this kind of food anywhere that's close. Overall the food is good, staff is friendly, bathrooms are a little small, but definitely a place I would return. Oh by the way if you have room for dessert definitely get the tres leches cake. I got coconut and I love it. I would come here just for that every day of the week if I could. It's fantastic. read more

Mofongo was good but customer service at this restaurant leaves much to be desired. Last time i visited this restaurant the customer service was so bad that I decided to order take out to avoid paying for horrible service since I've never had anything bad to say about the quality of the food. Unfortunately, today the rice tasted as if it had been reheated from yesterday's left over rice and I was shocked to find out I had been charged $10.00 (a 15% gratuity fee) even though it was take out and I picked out up the food myself to eat at home. Not sure I'll give this restaurant another try because a 15% gratuity fee on a pick up order is ridiculous and completely inconsiderate of the times. Restaurant owners/ managers need to do better. Please train your waitresses proper etiquette for dine in patrons. They're rude and act as if patrons are bothering them for asking for silverware, napkins, or even asking for clarifications on menu items. read more

Just ordered from Uber Eats. Order included Res Guisada (beef in a red sauce with carrots and potatoes, and rice and beans) and Maduros (fried sweet plantains). The food is delicious and very large portions. I was able to make myself a plate and have plenty for leftovers read more

We went to go to this restaurant, but never actually ended up going in. The food looks great in the pictures, but the area is very sketchy and feels unsafe. If you are looking for a nice place to take your family, this isn't probably the best option. read more

Too expensive for the quality and the service incredibly poor customer service they will forget to give you forks and napkins + the food is overcook read more

My first take out from here. Amazing authentic Caribbean food. The curry chicken is to die for, plantains perfect! Generous portions and great side dishes. Can't believe this restaurant has been down the street from my office for years. Definitely going to become a regular. read more

I don't plan on returning to eat here. It's so hit or miss with this place. This place is very expensive for the quality of food. It's so disappointing because I been going since they first opened. I'm big on supporting local businesses but I'm disgusted by their food. I ordered pernil and it wasn't even seasoned. The stewed goat was disgusting and tasted old. The arroz con gradulas was good and the tostones. I believe they are constantly changing cooks. The owner should have one recipe for everything on the menu and the cooks should stand by that. Just disappointing when you spend so much money and you go to eat and it's not what you were hoping for. This happens too often and will not return read more

2 stars for 3 reasons only: Oxtail, Chicharrones and fried sweet plantains. Service is horrible. Completely horrible. Sometimes the check comes, seems a bit high for what you ordered and has no math or items on it, just a total. Odd that the total is an even dollar number, never any change. Order a soda, takes ten minutes for the 10 feet the can needs to make it from the cooler to your table. Get appetizers, ask for a couple plates to eat said appetizers, one plate comes back. Guess "couple" is a term unknown to them. Service is not friendly. Food is good. Real good. Guess we hit it right both times we went. Chicharrones were crispy on the outside, smooth and buttery on the inside. Oxtail was delicious enough to make me go back again no matter how bad the service was. Fried plantains were good, but just a hair undercooked. Tons of rice and beans were served with the dish. Huge portions, but the price was a little steep to compensate. read more

Don Quijote Restaurant - Chicharrones are gone, sorry. Can't leave pork-fat sitting there. - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Love it. Karen? Behind the counter was great. Made a recommendation, was spot on. Ran the bar, the floor and the phone. Looks like one lady cooking, knocked it out 5-stars because it's a small mom and pop, serving it up good. Hard to find good spots like this. If you need some good Dominican grub, pop in. The only drawback, the jukebox can dominate, and be perhaps, offensive. Roll with it. read more

Don Quijote Restaurant - Awesome lunch. Wash it down with a Presidente. - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Having ordered the items below and received them from Don Quixote restaurant on Union Street in Manchester, NH via DoorDash # 401691080 (as shown on the DoorDash receipt that accompanied the order) and having subsequently visited the following website... https://www.donquijoteunion.com/contact ...to seek avenues for providing feedback...I have found that the website does not provide an email address to which I can contact them to provide feedback. That is unfortunate since I will now supply my feedback not directly to the restaurant itself via phone (because I'm not willing to provide such detailed and specific feedback via phone since in the past I have found that type of phone feedback to never be effective) but rather via Yelp. As shown on the DoorDash receipt that accompanied the order, we ordered the following: Cubano Don Quijote Bandeja Catracha Tostones Maduros Fajitas (Chicken) The Fajitas did not include the sour cream and the pico de gallo that are shown on the restaurant's downloadable menu. Perhaps that is the difference between the regular restaurant menu and the DoorDash menu? I do not know and would like the restaurant to answer that question. Overall, the fajitas were otherwise fresh and tasty. The person in our party who ordered the Cubano Don Quijote reported that the sandwich was very tasty as were the french fries that accompanied it. The Bandeja Contracha we ordered included some kind of fatty pork thing that was VERY chewy on the outside and fatty on the inside (not sure what it's called because, for this item, it was described neither on the DoorDash menu nor on the restaurant's downloadable menu. The item arrived without the chimol that the restaurant's downloadable menu described as accompanying the carne asada. The carne asada itself and most of the other parts of that menu item were fresh and tasty.  We also ordered sides of Tostones and Maduros, but received a single styrafoam container containing only one of them and not the other. Since we've never before ordered from this restaurant and thus have never before ordered these two sides, we are not sure which one of the two items was missing. What we received was not very tasty at all. I would appreciate some feedback from Don Quixote. Regards read more

Don Quijote Restaurant - Filled with oil, not edible at all - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Great authentic Latin & Caribbean food at a reasonable price. I had the Pernil Lunch plate and was blown away by the flavor. I will be back!

Looks like they have updated the website and menu. We had ground beef empanadas which were good, rice with pigeon peas and some sweet plantains. Everything was delicious as always. If I had to guess they have a new chef too. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. Don Quijote never disappoints . read more

I lived in the DR for several years and Don Quijote Pollo Guisado is the best I have had outside of Santo Domingo. Great spot with great food! Highly recommend.... read more

Como cliente no te puedo recomendar este lugar, muy amablemente ordene un pescado y pedí que me lo sirvieran sin la cabeza la chica me tomo a broma con mucha risa y igual me lo entrego con cabeza solo me resta decir q como cliente muy decepcionada ya que cada uno tiene gustos diferentes no lo recomiendo ya que no toman en consideración el gusto del cliente read more

One star because the service was horrible. We were 1 of 2 tables in the entire place and waited for a full hour after we ordered for our food. After an hour we (7 of us) got up to leave because we were hungry and felt we had been more than patient. As we reached the door about 5 staffers came out asking why we were leaving. We told them why and they tried apologizing. Sorry, but that just doesn't cut it. The least they could've done was come in during the wait and EXPLAIN why it takes over 60 minutes to cook some Arroz con Pollo, a quesadilla, and a burrito. SERIOUSLY. Not to kick 'em while they're down, but my friend's Coke had some yellow mass adhered to the side of the cup dissolving away little by little. I noticed it after he took a few good gulps. EW. And I had a wrapper of some sort in my arroz. I had high hopes for this place too since we heard decent things from a friend, but NO THANKS for me. Not going back. Shame... I would have given them 3 stars for food alone, but horrible service more than negates good food. read more

Read Yui K. and Mykle L.'s reviews and you have just about reached what my husband and my experience was! 1. Teen girl seated us & took our drinks order... 15 minutes later drinks arrived. We are the only customers in the whole place. 2. Placed our order for salsa & chips to start and our entrees... 25 minutes later no chips or salsa or food... Teen girl yammering on phone at the counter with a friend. 3. 10 more foodless minutes, guy comes out of the back says something to phone girl and she comes over to tell us that they "don't have the stuff to make your (my husband's) sandwich". She hands him a menu and says "pick something else" and walks away. 4. My husband, being such a good-natured guy, obligingly "picks something else". Girl has disappeared and does not appear after a further 10 minutes. 5. We throw $5 on the table and walk out. (Husband insisted!) Seriously? Why? read more

Really, no reviews since 2011? And only one each for 2007, 2008, 2010? It's time for an updated review. We were staying in Manchester for the marathon and needed to have a family dinner Saturday night. We went here with two very small children, my husband and I. It was a cozy atmosphere and we were promptly attended by a polite and helpful waitress. There were 2 to 3 waitresses present at the time and about three tables of customers (it seems like a good place to have a date) - Plus people sitting at the bar. They had a rocking jukebox and they were kind enough to turn it down to a dull roar for our daughter's oversensitive ears. We were extremely thankful. The food all came out promptly and was delicious. The fried sweet plantains were fabulous; one of my favorite dishes and they did it right. At the end of a wonderful meal, they gave my girls some amazing chocolate! I don't know if it was because Halloween was yesterday but my girls were thrilled. Entrées average about $11; servings are generous and the food is very good. It would definitely be a plus if you spoke Spanish here however they were perfectly welcoming as we did not. Parking is quite limited right outside of the restaurant but the side street has plenty of two hour parking. I definitely recommend this place and hope that more people review it. A whole lot can change in 3+ years! read more

This review is for both locations, Valley Street and Union Street. As a island born and raised Puertorican I can attest to true Caribbean flavors and dishes so here goes: Valley Street: This location is a bar/club/restaurant with loads of unsavory characters hanging around. My husband and I went there to buy food around 3:00pm on a week day and I felt really uncomfortable with the atmosphere. The food took 25 minutes to prepare to go (better to call it in), it was over priced for what we got (rice, beans, pork) and the flavors weren't 100% what we were hoping for. I vowed not to return there no matter how much I was craving Spanish food. Union Street: I purchase lunch here on a Wednesday afternoon. The atmosphere here was a bit more homey and inviting. I ordered at the counter and sat down at a table. The food was one of the "special" off the day (rice, beans, salad, roast pork) and a can of Coke. The total was $12.49! Although the taste was way more authentic than the other location I still believed it was over priced because the portions were normal size (not good for sharing). At the end of the day it would be wise to remember that in Manchester the Caribbean/Spanish/PR/DR/Cuban food choice is extremely limited and these two have NO COMPETITION. This is it, so between the two I recommend Union Street for flavor and atmosphere, but price wise they are both too high. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. I had a chicken burrito and I found a long black hair baked into the burrito. I was so upset and repulsed, as most people would be. Please see the photos (some were screenshotted from the video I took) read more

I love this place. Reminds me of new York. Also great puerto rican food and good Mexican food. Cool vibes and ambiance. I've eaten at all the Spanish places in March being a NYer and this is my fav. If you're kinds uppity it might not be for you, but then again it isn't supposed to be. If you like cool people and great home cooked food though, then get on over! read more

I went there with a friend of mine to eat, to my surprise this resturant is a dump. Very, but very small not a nice clean environment, the bar a big joke, so small with a few cheap bottles of liquor. Another words this place should be closed ASAP. We still look at the menu the prices are if you eat at a 5 Star resturant, we just left. Rigth outside this dump in both sides of the building trash barrels just sitting there just gross. This dump gives the real Dominican food a really bad name, at feels like you are in DR at the Country side, I been there it is the same dirty, and discussing. I am filling a complaint with food city inspector to go there, and inspect the building. It is not fair for people like this running a food business. They need to be closed............ read more

I was there just today, If you want to eat an really good White Rice with Beans and Meat(Chuleta), This is the right place. I been there a couple times and once they forgot to order my food and it took around an hour to get to the table. But Im a server and i been there before. It happens to any server in any restaurant thats not a reason to give a 1 Star Review. And anyway the food was so good that i didnt even care about the wait. Still left a good tip ! Great Restaurant ! Don Quijote @ Union St. read more

The roasted pork were very good! Flavorful and moist. The next I am in town I will definitely revisit.

eating the greatest empanadas ever! yummy in my tummy. Sandra is the kindest and most generous woman I know. Keep cookin

This is my favorite restaurant in, Manchester. The service is not your typical because, Dominican Republic, is literally brought in that little establishment. From top to bottom it is a true escape from your everyday life, while you are there. The ambience, music, people, aromas, and atmosphere brings you to the Carribean for a moment in time. The flavors "sabor" is absolutely on point. If you want to relax they also offer different types of alcohol (watch out for Brugal) Their prices are absolutely amazing. For $40 you can feed a family of 6. Kudos to Don Quijotes. read more

Ordered Pollo Asada y Tostones, everything was delicious.You get a lot of food for the price. I had leftovers for 3 days.

I work at a school near the area, and my students always recommend it to me. This place is incredible. I ordered the bistec and cheese sandwich and it was everything I hoped for in a sandwich! The meat was tender and everything else was well cooked. I ordered yuca fries, and they were incredibly crispy! Also, order the arroz con gandules! read more

As I white guy I actually felt scared walking into this place, if I didn't carry my gun with me I would have walked out. Everyone stares at you as you are the outcast and they make you feel unwelcome, the food is over priced for the taste. I wouldn't recommend read more

Homemade mom-and-pop type of restaurant. The Latin food here is exceptional. I'm a big fan of their chicharron. Can't wait to go back to try something else. Coming from south Florida I know well made Latin food and this food is fantastic. read more

im always happy with my food when i order it here! this place always leaves me happy, & full! the beans & rice are to DIE FOR. i'm obsessed with their beans. the friend chicken & plantains never miss a beat either! read more

I didn't get to taste the food. The service was awful, not t just slow but disrespectful. The server came took my drink order and then proceeded to hang out at the bar, and I mean hang out. Talking and joking with other customers, which some one say she was just being friendly to other customers but then she fills a glass with ice gives it to the customer at the bar and goes and leans on the other side of the bar to take a sip from her water bottle! Meanwhile I'm looking at her the whole time! No wonder this business wasn't able to hack it in a bigger location! read more

When you're in the craving for latin food, this place hits the spot! Very reasonably priced and very big portions.
