Food is amazing! Service is amazing! There's a woman there who makes the tortillas right in front of you which is something unique! 10/10 experience read more

I loved everything about this place! The decor, the food, the staff. It was a great experience from beginning to end. They brought out chips and salsa right off and the salsa was flavorful and even had a little bite. The chips were warm and crisp. They had so many things i wanted to try but i ordered the Hawaiian fajitas and hubs had the Diego burrito. When I saw the food I wished we had brought a cooler and that I hadn't eaten so many of those chips! The fajitas were served in a pineapple and had steak and chicken and chorizo. I asked for no shrimp. The flavors were so good! I loved the mango salsa and could eat that right out of the container! The rice and beans were yummy too! I had barely started on the inside of the pineapple and I was stuffed! Somehow hubs managed to eat his entire burrito. Next time definitely will bring a cooler and take home what I cant finish. I also ordered a virgin pineapple coconut margarita. It was probably the only thing I didn't love but it was very good. I think I just prefer it with the alcohol. Looking at the desserts I was wishing I had some space but I literally could not eat another bite. Highly recommend u try it out! read more

We decided to celebrate a friend's birthday at this restaurant since it is conveniently located near her home. The restaurant is located near the airport in a plaza with plenty of available parking. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by colorful Mexican decorations, including murals and paintings that create a festive atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed and offered the choice of sitting outside, in the main dining room, or in the bar area. We chose the main dining room. Shortly after being seated, our server brought warm chips, salsa, and water and took our drink orders. I requested a separate dish of salsa, which he said could be accommodated, but it never arrived. Throughout the meal, our drinks and water glasses remained empty for extended periods, and refills were not offered unless we specifically requested them. My friend ordered the Fajita Hawaiana and enjoyed the flavors of her meal. However, the elevated serving dish made it somewhat awkward to eat comfortably at the table. The toppings were served together on the side, leaving little room to assemble the fajitas. Although she found the dish tasty, she ultimately packed most of it to enjoy at home. I ordered a combination plate with a chicken burrito and chicken quesadilla, served with Mexican rice and black beans. Unfortunately, the chicken was somewhat dry, and the sauce on the burrito was tangier than I expected and somehow tasted like salty tomato sauce. Overall, the flavors did not stand out and left me underwhelmed. We decided to cut our visit short and get dessert at a different location. read more

Upon arrival, we really liked the ambiance, decor and "high-end restaurant " feel. We were seated in the bar, and were promptly given chips and salsa. It was very busy but our server came over and took our drink order right away. He was very friendly and we got a good first impression. Unfortunately, things started to go downhill from there. It took quite a while to get our drinks, which were good. Our server had a very large table within our view, and once they arrived, he seemed to forget about us. The food we ordered arrived after quite a while, but at least both meals at the same time. I found the food very salty (and I like salty food!), and the red sauce tasted like straight tomato sauce with few spices or herbs added. Definitely disappointing. The final critique I will offer is that it was extremely expensive. Probably the highest priced Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. I'm ok with that if everything is outstanding, but it wasn't. Sorry to say, but it will not stay on my radar for places to dine out. read more

This place top down deserves five stars. From the service, the restaurants cleanliness and vibrant decor, to the food, everything was excellent. The drinks were out of this world as well, noticeably very good. The habañero margarita was probably the best I've ever had anywhere. Definitely will be going back here. read more

What a pleasant surprise. At hotel next to airport and found this absolute gem of a place. I'm a solo business traveler. Welcoming staff got me to the bar (my preferred place) Hilarity ensued when I spoke Spanish to the one server who didn't speak it. Excellent bar with a nice selection of beers as well as well made cocktails. Food was excellent. They immediately brought me chips and salsa. I ordered ceviche and Quesabirrias. Authentic food well done. Freshly made read more

What a pleasant surprise!!! In an area that is traditionally known for in and out of airport (gas station, industrial, McDonalds), a hidden gem in a strip mall. Sat at the bar.

Bottoms up draft beer system in-place; modelo's and my favorite: fiddlehead. The margaritas are almost $20, however they are expertly and individually assembled cocktails that are extremely balanced and tasty! They have 7 different dried garnishes available. Martinis are more reasonably priced at 12.99. Menu is upscale...salsa was straight up amazing. You pay a solid 10-15% more than the La Caretta menu & it does feel more culinary/expert, if you will. Rice wasn't exceptional hence a 4-star. Decor: unparalleled- so cute, and a total surprise when you've just parked in a nondescript plaza on the outskirts of Manchester's south end. read more

Tried this place for the first time with a couple of friends and they had a good variety of Mexican food. Plenty of vegetarian options and interesting drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Ambiance was very pleasant and it was packed on a Tuesday. Would definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Ate outside, and even though there we others outside it seemed like an inconvenience. The inside was busy and noisy, so we wanted to go outside. The food was good but the service and specialty drinks were not. We waited so long for our appetizers and drinks that are meal came first. We cancelled the appetizers. read more

Several additional visits and it's still muy bueno plus. Juanita continues to excel at the masa game, churning out most excellent huaraches, tortillas and other corn masa centric delights. As well as doing an at your table guac creation, if desired. My only nit is that a recent camarones a la diabla was decidedly not diabla. Totally delicious but not spicy. Odd, since they clearly DO do spice, as shown with their salsa macha (wow - is THAT spicy!) Service continues friendly, atmosphere welcoming and food spot on. read more

Only our second time but we will be back for more. Excellent food, service and drinks. Get the table side guacamole was fresh and delicious. Seems to get busy after 6 so go a lil early. read more

Truly amazed by all the positive reviews. The table next to me (who got to the restaurant 10 mins AFTER me) was greeted first. The "shrimp cocktail" was TERRIBLE... as if they used the cheapest ingredients possible from Hannaford. My Modelo was flat. (Bonus: the table next to me was given the wrong type of tortillas. They asked for the correct ones throughout the entire meal, but the waitress kept forgetting & they got all the way to their end of their meal without receiving them. They weren't happy lol) read more

My wife and I have been several times now. They won us over on our first visit. Food is excellent, atmosphere is nice, service is great with the exception of some slight communication issues. The server was very nice and patient as we worked through it. I would and have recommended Raices to others. Some reviews complained about price, I have no problem paying a little extra for quality. read more

I came here with my brother last year when I was in town and had a great experience. I was excited to bring my husband this year, but unfortunately it wasn't the best experience. It took a very long time to get our food and it all came out separately. My husband and two kids all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. My chicken tacos were dry and in my opinion not worth the price. I did have a delicious drink. The staff were friendly but could have done a better job of keeping us informed about what was taking so long with our food. Overall I would say it's probably worth another try. read more

The service can be a tad slow at times, but the food and experience make it not matter. Love the family feel, the sweet lady who does table side guacamole, and also makes the tortillas right in from of you from her little area. I never leave feeling sick or too full, even though the portions ore plentiful and delicious. It's fresh,consistent and the best Mexican food in the State! read more

It was our first visit here. The restaurant is located in strip mall. This might be the most stylish and high-end Mexican/ Latin restaurant in the Manchester area. The interior is very lovely and modern. They have a killer bar that looks like a great place to take a date on and drink some margaritas. The menu itself is very extensive, it is also quite pricey. The prices rival Los Angeles. They do have a lunch special, with limited choices. Still pricey, but maybe a better option if you're on a budget. Overall the service was good but communication was a bit strained. The food itself was of high quality and decent flavor. I appreciate the free chips and salsa given with the meal. They have an abuelita making the tortillas, and we were looking forward to those flour tortillas. However, compared to Los Angeles, the tortillas were quite delicate and broke apart when we tried to eat them. We will come here again, and maybe try their hard tacos. Couple issues to address for management, the music is quite loud at times and annoying. It prevents conversation. I would dial it down to like a 3 out of 10. Also, the menus themselves, at least our menus were poorly done. The bindings on them made them very hard to open and read as you can see from my menu photos. read more

I stopped in to Raices finally this weekend and found it to be as wonderful as everyone mentions. The food was delicious, quesadilla, rice, beans, and burritos. So much good food that it was hard to decide on what to have. I was thankful for the pick two and two. A little of everything. Sitting at the bar, I found the staff to be wonderfully friendly and the design of the bar is beautiful and so perfectly Mexican. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great Service and great food. Very clean and well laid out restaurant with reasonable prices.

We were traveling back to Florida flying out of Manchester Air Port the next day. I went on yelp to find a decent Mexican Restaurant and they did not disappoint! The service was exceptional and the food was amazing! The Ambiance was authentic and welcoming! read more

Service was subpar, waited awhile at the table for the waitress to show up. When she came over we ordered, but the chip and guac app came out like 2 min before the entree. The one entree came out with the wrong tortillas, had to wait 15 min to get the right ones. By that time the rest of the party was already done eating. Then the waitress asked if we needed anything boxed like 5 minutes after the tortillas came out so obviously the person waiting just started eating. The quality of the food is good but service creates the experience, and today that was poor. read more

On the "Good-Meh-Suck" scale, this was a "Meh-plus". Why you ask with so many flattering reviews? I will tell you. It was a Sunday night and was relatively busy. We were seated and asked if we wanted drinks. We ordered 4 drinks. Being cognizant of the time of year, we were not expecting immediate service so that was fine. The issue is that two drinks were brought out and then we waited 10 minutes for the other two drinks to come out. The server, while very nice and friendly, made no attempt to say anything other than "Do you not like your drinks?" We responded "We were waiting for the other two so we can toast each other". No "I'm sorry" or "Oh, sorry". Just a smile and turned and walked away. Rookie mistake. At least apologize. Oh yeah, water was refilled eventually.... Then came the wait for the table side guacamole. By this time, the basket of chips and salsa were gone. Go figure. We watched the cart go by several times. The issue apparently is having each server do the tableside guac. I would STRONGLY recommend they have a tableside guac person whose sole job is to make the guac quickly. Such is life. The final straw was the actual meal. One plate was served and then we waited several minutes for the other three to come out. One would guess that they just opened but they have not just opened. As for the food, the tableside guac was a but salty and lime-y but it was acceptable. The actual meals were fine. Nothing spectacular. For the money, probably not heading back. Also, I love the kiosk to pay from the server but why have preloaded tips at 30%. 25%, and 20%?!?! Sorry, this was not even 20% service. Glad others like this place but I was not overly impressed. Some simple rookie mistakes just should not happen. read more

Our server Josh was fantastic, the birria was the best I've ever had, he said it was a new recipe... keep it. Great ambiance, kind staff.

Stopped at location while passing thru the area. Location has a great selection of authentic Mexican food. The food itself was fresh, very well-prepared, not greasy at all, and it was hot when it arrived at the table. The service was quick, efficient, and pleasant. This restaurant was clean and had a pleasant ambience. Mexican artwork and photos throughout. Location has a full bar and a good selection of beer. Plenty of parking at location, and it is in close proximity to the airport if you are visiting the area. read more

Everything about our experience was a yes! We dined in for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The dining room was increadibly clean and decorated well. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Quesabirrias and a burrito. Both were do delicious we barely spoke while we ate. We will be going back again very soon! read more

Stopped in tonight on a whim and so glad we did! Arroz con pollo is a go-to for me when I am trying someplace new and they did not disappoint. The corn tortillas were perfect as well. My husband got a torta they had (minus jalapeños) and it was also a hit. We haven't seen a torta like that since we moved from MA (our old favorite place for them is in Beverly). From the moment we walked through the door we were well taken care of - everybody checks on everyone else's tables to make sure customers have everything they need, and at no point did I feel like I was smothered by it. Everyone there made us feel welcome, and the decor was impressive as well. From the rose gold silverware to the separated yet open bar you can see that everything was chosen with a lot of thought behind it, but I was most impressed by the wall "art." It consists of what looks like leftover pieces of lumber in different sizes stained and staggered from the ceiling down with spaces in between some of the boards so that when you stand back to take it in, it looks like a cityscape with stars in the sky. I'll be back as soon as I can, and next time I am bringing more people with me. read more

Came in for lunch on a Saturday, had plenty of seats available in both the dinning room and the bar. Atmosher was cozy and nicely done. Staff was welcoming and freindly, and answered questions without issue. I started off with a spicy margarita which was great, my husband had the strawberry margarita which we both thought was a bit too sweet. We ordered Elotes and the Chorizo Dip appitizers, both were great, and would order again. We split a jumbo barrito and I'm happy we split it, it was pretty massive. Rice and beans that came in the borrito were spot on, and tasted fresh. I would deffintly come back. read more

No idea how this place is well reviewed...Terrible service, worse food. I ordered the Tres Amigos and could not even eat it. The only halfway decent thing was the black beans. Everything was overcooked and under seasoned. Total disappointment. I have been here before and the guacamole was good, but my tacos were terrible. I returned tonight to give it another chance because I really want to like this place, but even this time the guacamole was under seasoned, no salt. I will not be trying a third time. read more

Located at Pine Island Plaza on Brown Ave, Raices Authentic Mexican Cuisine just opened for business offering a full service dining room and the bar/lounge area in the back. They also offer takeout and online ordering, serving weekday lunch (until 2pm) and dinner. The place has a casual modern atmosphere. This new Mexican restaurant is operated by the same folks who run Vida Mexican Restaurant (Laconia-Weirs Beach), Vida At The Lake (Meredith) and Enso (Meredith). I stopped by Raices for dinner on opening night. The place wasn't too busy with most customers sitting in the bar area. By request, I was seated in the front dining room and given food and drink menus. A complementary basket of crunchy chips & mild salsa were brought out. The prices here are moderate high. I was given a glass of cold water. I went with the Steak Fajitas ($22.99 plus tax) served with Mexican rice, charro beans and a mixed greens salad with cheese & tomato light vinaigrette dressing. The steak fajitas with sauteed peppers & onions came out sizzling hot on an elevated skillet with small cups of pico de gallo, cheese, and sour cream cups, and the Mexican rice (with corn, carrot, green bean), beans, and 3 small fresh pressed corn tortillas. The steak pieces were very tender and the vegetables were nicely cooked and very hot. I did fumble a bit trying to serve and eat ingredients off of the elevated skillet (would've preferred a normal height). The 3 fresh tortillas were small, but very good and wished there were more tortillas given. After finishing dinner, I had enough to eat and got the check with Toast QR code, which was $24.94 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food I had was pretty good. I would come back here again for lunch or dinner, keeping Raices and an other Mexican places in Manchester on my rotation. read more

Not your average food review. Everybody has a different palate so leave the taste up to you. My wife and I decided on a date day today and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT. El Rincon has been our favorite spot for years now. We need to hit this one up a few more times to see how consistent they are but wow very impressed. Exceptional service (The Best service we've received at a restaurant in a long time), great drinks, and delicious food. We really liked how the restaurant was split. The main restaurant offered more of a formal dining experience. Most areas were well lit but we chose to sit in the corner where it wasn't as bright. Not great for pictures but it was perfect for us. The bar area offers more off a vacation vibe. Very bright and colorful. The hand painted mural behind the bar is a must see. Great place to pop in got a quick bite for the day or stop in and have a drink after you eat dinner. The food was delicious. Both my wife and I agreed that this is easily some of the best Mexican food we have had. Fresh, flavorful and authentic. The side salad was a nice touch and the corn tortillas are a must with any meal. Dinnerware and glassware were right on point. Dessert was a perfect way to finish this amazing. Cant recommend the churros with a chocolate drizzle enough. We felt the pricing was very reasonable considering the level of service and the fresh, delicious authentic food. The attention to detail was very noticable. We could both tell that this isn't just a restaurant to this family and that they truly appreciated each and every single person that walked through their door. One random thing I wanted to finish the review with was we both liked the fact that they gave us both our own seperate little dish to pour salsa in. We really liked that idea especially if you are out with a bigger party. You dont have to wait your turn to dip your chip haha. Highly recommend read more

I had the chicken and rice soup and the steak quesadillas, they tasted wonderful!!! Especially the soup, you can actually taste the ingredients rather than one overall taste, which is amazing. They were also able to make a nonalcoholic version of the strawberry Mojito. It tasted wonderful. It was one of the best strawberry based drinks I've had in a long time! The ambience is very clean and tasteful, and I love the painted mirror on the wall! The service is wonderful as well they are all very kind and filled up our drinks often and everyone was very warm and welcoming! read more

We came on a Friday evening, the restaurant was very busy, luckily for the two of us we only had to wait about 20 minutes, the restaurant is near the airport in a small plaza. Given its location, it was surprising to see how busy this restaurant was. The interior was small and bustling. We thankfully sat in a booth which removed us a bit from the busy walkways. To start, we were given complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was mild and very good and fresh tasting. The prices for meals and drinks were on the expensive side, about $16 for a cocktail and $18+ for a meal. We did not get a beverage, but the alcoholic drinks did look very good. They hand make their own corn tortillas and make the guacamole at the tableside. I ordered their "dry burrito" which included shredded chicken Mexican rice, beans, avocado and sour cream. The food came out very hot, and to my surprise, my leftovers were still warm by the time I got home. I very much enjoyed my burrito, it had a lot of flavor and I even enjoyed it more the second day. I opted for the dry burrito vs their other more elaborate ones because I didn't want my burrito topped with salsa and queso, the restaurant was busy enough I didn't want to make personalizations. My friend ordered 3 street tacos on their homemade corn tortillas. I tried the chorizo and it was different than other chorizo tacos I've had before and I liked it a lot. I tried their signature hot sauce, and yes it's hot! It has a different taste to it but it is made with 3 different chiles we were told! Our server, Hirsh was very friendly and made helpful recommendations, he was quick to filling up our waters and offering more chips and salsa if we wanted. By the time we left at around 9pm, people were still coming into the restaurant. All in all the food was great, the drinks looked great but a hesitancy for us in the high price cost. read more

Pros: Very tasty food, fun atmosphere. Fajitas were delicious and Enchilada Rancheras with red sauce were phenomenal. The homemade tortillas were fire.

Went here for lunch with hubs and two kids (6 and 13). Food was superb! Authentic, fresh made guac at the table, kids menu was plentiful for our picky eater.
