What the heck happened here? This was one of the jewels of Elm St…read more Saturday evening, it's busy. At the bar, drinks and apps. We order nachos and margaritas. Twenty minutes later. Bartender asks "How is everything?" I say, "Everything is good. Will be better when the nachos get here." He smiles apologetically. I say, "I get it, it's Saturday night." That's the last time any staff acknowledges us. Thirty minutes later, no nachos. We finally get a barback's attention. He runs to get someone. Forty-five minutes later, and I'm pretty sure our order went out with some DoorDash driver. What I am sure of is that we're never getting our nachos. We ask for our check. No delay getting that in front of us. No explanation or apologies. No manager as far as I could tell. We pay for our drinks, and leave. I head down the block to get get two slices of cheese pizza. The food here has always been good. The service until now had been great, at worst adequate. I don't know what happened here. A dropped order isn't a new thing. Maybe an inexperienced manager who got overwhelmed. Maybe they're prioritizing to go orders. This was one of the best restaurants on Elm St. Looks like those days are over. Go for lunch. Maybe an early dinner on a weekday. Or maybe just DoorDash: it will be cold, but you'll have food.

The staff was very nice and our foods came out pretty quick, while you wait you are served chips and salsa, their salsa was so good! We ordered the following: - empanadas (chicken, beef, & pork) My favorite was probably the pork and cheese one, had the best flavor second is beef. I normally like chicken but was my least fave of the 3. - quesabirrias; Birria tacos w/ consommé + rice & beans So good, great flavor throughout, beef cooked perfectly. Even the refried beans had a great consistency, not overcooked and heavy. - Birria quesadilla w/ consommé + rice + Very cheesy good. The birria consommé was used and dripped into every bite! our meal here was great, felt great, perfect fullness without going overboard! Nice happy ride back down to Boston!

We arrived about an hour before closing & had no issues getting a table for two. Shortly after receiving utensils and the menus, we were given complimentary chips & salsa! The salsa was tasty & has a nice kick to it. I found it very additive to eat with the chips. We ended up ordering these dishes to try: - empanadas (chicken, beef, & pork) - quesabirrias; Birria tacos w/ consommé + rice & beans - Birria quesadilla w/ consommé + rice + salad OMG, everything tasted AMAZING! All of our dishes came PIPING hot, including the consommé dips for the Birria tacos and quesadilla. The quesabirrias were my favorite & star of the show for me. They were perfectly crispy, seasoned well, & I also loved how light (yet still flavorful) the consommé was! This came with rice & beans and let me tell you... I normally don't even eat refried beans but I couldn't help myself today because I find that refried beans can be too thick & sometimes burnt. This was not the case today though! Also paired super well with the rice & a little lime. The Birria quesadilla was yummy. It was loaded with lots of meat & cheese. Great portion sizes! For our appetizer, we ordered one of each empanada protein option they had: one chicken, one beef, and one pork. I didn't have a favorite empanada because honestly they were all really tasty! Full of flavor & came loaded with cheese. I will definitely be back again the next time I'm in Manchester, NH! Service was wonderful, restaurant was clean, & food was perfect. Highly recommend trying El Rincon Zacatecano if you find yourself in the area ;)

I've had tacos there before and today got the pupusas with meat and cheese. The meat was incredibly hard to find, if it existed at all, and somehow the pupusas were just bland. And the green salsa was way over salted. The unfortunate cherry on top is that there were many hairs in the side curdito salad :( I wish it was better but it seems very hit or miss from other reviews and I have to agree with the ones that say the items aren't that flavorful.

When I walked in…read moreit was empty and the lady behind the counter looked at me as if I shouldn't be there so I kindly asked if they were open and she said yes. 1st impression not so good in my opinion. I said I would like to place an order to go and she grabbed her pad. I ordered the following menu items so we could give them a try and see if they compared to our favorite Mexican place. 1st I said I'd like to get the Mexican Steak and I had to point at the menu item-the lady said NO, I said ok can I get the Steak Ranchero she said ok then I said with NO beans, she repeated no beans to me, I said yes, then she said ok. 2nd I said I would like the Solocarne Fajitas-I asked if I could do half chicken half beef she said NO, I said ok-then she said ok. 3rd I said I would like the guacamole and she said NO. 4th I said I would like to order some tacos. I said I want 2 chicken tacos, she said ok, I then said I want 2 steak tacos, she said ok and lastly I said I would like 2 Chorizo tacos, she said ok. She went to get the food ready. Without getting into details of watching that circus and having the uncomfortable silence I waited roughly 30 minutes while she heated up the food (she pulled all of it from her fridge and or her condiment station. I got the food and headed home so we could try it out again based on good reviews. The steak Ranchero steak was pale in color which told me either it was old or it was boiled either way it was terrible and chewy. I had said no bean I got beans which were gross along with the incredibly dried out rice. The Solocarne Fajitas steak was like the bits you get from the grease trap and chewy/fatty. The rice was just as dry as mine and the beans were gross. Even the veggies weren't good. Instead of 6 tacos we got just 4-2 chicken 1 steak and 1 chorizo. Not sure if I was charged for 6 or not because I was never given a detailed receipt. The taco shells were so dry we tossed them out, all the meat was so dry we didn't finish! The only thing that seemed good was the cilantro. This place in my opinion is terrible so I am very surprised at all the good reviews but to each their own.

They offer an extensive selection of authentic Mexican dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cold bottled drinks offered here include Pepsi products, Jarritos, water, and beer. I stopped in here recently for dinner. There was fast paced Mexican music blasting very loud over the speakers, so I was definitely getting my food to go. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas ($11 plus tax) served with 2 sides (I chose yellow rice and beans). The food was cooked fresh to order and ready in about 25 minutes as promised, packed in two styrofoam boxes. The chicken fajitas consisted of marinated tender boneless chicken pieces, green peppers, red peppers, onions, and tomatoes, served with 4 warm soft corn tortillas and lettuce, tomato, & sour cream. The yellow rice was cooked firm and had a good chicken flavor. The refried black beans were very soft and smooth. The chicken fajitas I had were very good and not too greasy either. I would order the fajitas again!

They offer full service dining, takeout, and DoorDash delivery. The bright dining has long bar with seating to the left and plenty of table seating, yellow & brown painted walls, and a colorful mural. I stopped in for dinner at Iguana's very recently. The place was not too busy and I could sit anywhere I wanted. The owner greeted me and brought out complementary crunchy tortilla chips & red tomato salsa. He also brought out homemade green salsa, which was very good. I ordered water, a Poland Spring bottle ($2) and the Chicken Fajitas ($13.50 plus tax) served with rice and black beans. The chicken fajitas were served very hot on a skillet with fresh red & green peppers, onions, yellow zucchini and tender strips of chicken breast, a bit oily on the skillet. The side plate had soft Mexican rice, cup of black beans, and a green salad with pico de gallo. There was no guacamole or sour cream on the plate. I did have to request warm soft tortillas (I got 2) after being served. The portion of food was very generous and I was very full, so no dessert. Overall, I had a good dinner at Iguana's. The food was fresh, tasty, and very filling. What I liked about this place is that it was laid back and not mobbed or very busy like the other sitdown Manchester Mexican restaurants including Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, La Carreta, and Mi Jalisco. I actually had a good quiet dinner with the owner checking up on me to see how things were.
