When we're visiting the area for an extended period we usually get takeout from here. We haven't dined-in in a very a long time. Why four stars? We ordered from here twice during our recent visit. The first time was great. However, the second time we got takeout they forgot the verde sauce on my Husband's burrito, put my husband's queso order in a metal togo container like the one my burrito bowl came in. It was very soup and was a leaking mess by the time we got home. Not sure why it wasn't in a cup with a lid like the guac, and like it has been other times. Also, this second time I found myself chewing on a a large piece of chicken from my veggie burrito bowl - for someone who hasn't eaten animals in over two decades and had no intention of starting to do so, it was pretty awful. It was not yet crowded either time we ordered and was a weekday (around 5PM-ish). Given the first time we ordered was fine, we're thinking/hoping the missing verde sauce, soupy mis-packaged queso and chicken piece debacles were a reflection of an off evening in the kitchen. That said, next time we'll likely check our order before leaving with it.

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!

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 other lady when I came back to ask if I could use the bathroom gave me an expression that I ruined her night. The rice for the bibimbap was pretty crunchy. The spinach felt overcooked.. Carrots were slightly cooked, felt a little too crunchy. The fried egg was perfect. Seasoning wasn't overpowering. I see the other reviews and saw that the bibimbap is amazing, and I felt like it was just ok. The curry fries were good, but $14 dollars for fries doesn't seem right.. However I LOVED the curry mayo that came with them. So good. The Vietnamese chicken was very good too, moist and flavorful. I'm not sure if I'd come back, but maybe I need to try the food in the restaurant. Good amount of parking outside.

We were shocked to walk in and see that the book bar was replaced by a super trendy chain restaurant. Nevertheless, we decided to give it a try. We were just in time for happy hour, and ordered a happy hour marg and three tacos. Our marg was very sweet, weak, and they forgot the salted rim we asked for. It was also served in a pub cup, and I thought they could've tried harder with the presentation given this is supposed to be a taqueria. We ordered one shrimp, one beef, and one al pastor taco. Each taco was quite expensive ($5-$6 for one taco). The steak and pork tacos were quite dry, and the steak taco only came with onions and cilantro. For how expensive the tacos were, there wasn't much meat in them. It felt like we were getting tacos from a diner, not a restaurant that specializes as a taqueria. Also it was very empty inside; the restaurant is huge but it was just us and one other family. Overall I feel like Portsmouth is the wrong place to put a chain restaurant, especially one that isn't serving great food, and it kind of ruins the quaint vibe of the town. The only reason I won't give this one star is because our waitress was very kind and attentive. We brought our baby and she was very patient and understanding when he became a bit fussy.

Music was relaxed and the place churns people out pretty quick it seems. Good on them, well deserved. This place was a nice break from some of the restaurants I've been to lately that were found lacking.
