    Almost Mexican. Or, at least as close as you can get here. This is the real thing and it's in the perfect place in the ideal town of Newmarket. Once upon a time just a one horse town until that multitude of amazing places that put it on the map. Weekday weeknight weekend. It doesn't matter because this place is always busy and that says just about everything, doesn't it? There are only a couple things that could be considered detractors. The service is a bit too matter of fact for me and the place is too small. On top of that it's loud and I'm talking like 80 decibels loud. Loud enough to make it difficult to converse with your table mate. There's only one booth with the rest of the seating being high-tops. The fish tacos are excellent though I think a bit short on ingredients. 3 tacos with sides of refried beans and rice. Top it of with a Dos XX Amber and there ya have. In the end the food is worth the detractors and recommended.

    Toppings for the pineapple fajita.

    We happened to be in the area and decided to try this place out. We were not disappointed. The service was great, the food was amazing, and the portions were that we took home a small amount of leftovers. I highly recommend coming here. If I lived closer I'd be a regular customer.

    Excellent, ate the whole thing. Loved it. So hospitable and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

    HUGE Burrito Cochinita Pibil - absolutely the best deal in town.

    We probably come here once a week at this point! Service is always with a smile and even when they are busy it is worth the wait! Happy hour at the bar in cocktails and beer 4-6 pm is half priced drinks which are already very reasonably priced. Our total for 2 for dinner on Friday with two drinks was under $40! Come on your birthday and they will sing and dance and bring you churros and a tequila shot!

    This is a restaurant I will never try again…read more The food was absolutely inedible. We should have stopped and canceled our order after the apps. We got the elotes off the Cobb. It was so overcooked the kernels of corn were the consistency of rubber. Whatever the sauce was sour and tasted foul. We each ate two bites and decided to just let it go. We also ordered the taquitos and the were just bland and greasy. Also stopped with two. Just a complete disappointment. My husband ordered the only burrito on the menu that was offered as a hand held. As you can see by the picture it was open and a sloppy mess. He took one bite and said he was good and didn't want to risk eating anything else. I got three different tacos chicken, beef and carnitas. I took a one bite of each and on my life, I've never tasted worse food. Everything tasted like it was days old. The ambiance is cute but I cannot understand the 4 star rating this place has. There was not one single item worth eating. I am convinced people giving this place five stars are friends or paid by the establishment to give out these stars. I have had crappy but edible Mexican food before but this had no redeeming quality. Go to Taco Bell if you need a taco. This was $85 before the tip and we left and ate somewhere else.

I must say that Jorge makes some great margaritas that taste very well balanced. I usually try a different one every time and I've never been disappointed. Of course, they bring out complimentary chips and salsa which always hits the spot. Boyfriend likes to get a side of queso and some hot sauce too. I typically end up getting the street tacos here. The plate comes with five tortillas topped with your choice of two proteins and a side of both red and green salsa. It took me a little while to figure out the best combination of meat for the tacos. While the birria tastes solid, it causes the tortillas to fall apart easily, so if you want some of that I'd go for the quesabirria tacos. I was getting the carnitas for a while, but it wasn't always the most consistent as some days it didn't taste as good but other days it tasted fantastic. In my opinion, the go to meat combination for the street tacos is the pollo adobo and the al pastor, as they both have flavorful marinades and the meat itself tastes good as well. While I understand that New Hampshire isn't exactly known for having amazing Mexican food, I've found that this place is solid for the area. Fun atmosphere, nice people and generous portions of food that will fill you up.
