Shorty's Mexican Roadhouse is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, fun, and full of great energy. The servers are very friendly and welcoming. The margaritas are outstanding--perfectly mixed, refreshing, and full of flavor. The tacos and burritos are just as impressive, packed with fresh ingredients, bold seasoning, and generous portions. Every bite tastes homemade and delicious. Whether you're stopping in for a casual meal or a night out with friends, Shorty's delivers fantastic food, great drinks, and a memorable experience every time. Highly recommend! read more

Food was awful, couldn't finish my plate. Waitress was nice, place was empty when we got there at noon. 1st clue missed. Got cornbrean covered jalapeno poppers (Seeds were left in) making it very spicy Enchiladas Verdes, one chicken and one steak. Chicken was ok, but cold. Steak had a bad taste, couldn't finish. Firecracker e burrito - super spicy,my older son liked it Stir Fry, with jalapeno soaked carrots??? read more

Had a great experience with Jillian, she was great with my table and my whole party appreciated her help and excellent service.

Happy hour and a Gluten Free menu! This place called my name and I came running. We had a coworkers day out and everyone wanted to come here, this was my first time and this won't be my last. We all had yummy happy hour drinks- I had the margarita with sugar. They also had gluten free chips and salsa. It really made me feel included and safe. Ask for the GF menu and everything is listed and delicious! Great place with good service. read more

Was in the area and saw Shorty's and felt like trying a New Mexican place. Turned out this place rivaled the best Mexican in Los Angeles! The enchiladas sauce was classic and the best, with both the ground beef and fajitas steak and cilantro rice and black beans. Next time I'll have to try the carnitas. The quesadilla was huge, like 8 pieces cut from the 12" tortillas. The bacon and chicken and cheese were excellent and tasty. The decor is true Mexican road trip! Drinks were tempting, but this was 45 mins from home so I passed on the great sounding drink menu. Service was excellent. Parking is easy in a big private lot. I'll be back even with the 45 minute drive! read more

I've been ordering Shorty's flan for 30 years and it's never been served burnt to me before today. This was sent home with me after having dinner and asking the bartender if they had flan. She actually walked back and checked with the kitchen responding with, "yes, we have plenty back there" This was on top of an underwhelming dinner experience. read more

My wife and I went here for the 1st time today and I got the CBR and my wife got the tres colores enchiladas and we tried their jungle juice adult drink both portions were very generous. The CBR was a large quesadilla with chicken, cheddar jack cheese as well as onions and peppers the the 3 enchiladas were all distinct in flavors it came with steak,chicken, and ground beef. The drink was deliciously strong. Definitely worth the price and a 2nd trip. Waitress was attentive and courteous. read more

Jalapeño Firecrackers were great. Burger was good, fries were great. Sat on the quiet side, not the baband side. Loses a star for vacuuming the rug around customers. Draft beer was flat warm and no flavor, but the bottle beer was great and cold! I'll be back and stay away from the draft beer. Great time. read more

We stopped in for lunch while we were in the area. Our waitress was so attentive and friendly and really on the ball. I wish I knew her name! We had a variety of burritos which the guys loved and they were massively huge. I had the avocado tacos delicious. I highly recommend this place read more

By far the worst Mexcain I have ever had will not come back like who puts vegetables in queso

Food was great! Service was amazing. Our waitress Kellie was absolutely adorable. I had the 3 colors enchiladas and the calamaris. Delicious. Reasonably priced. I'm only disappointed they don't have any good home made habanero sauce like my other favorite Mexican restaurants. Will probably go back for food. Will definitely go back for drinks. read more

We stopped by Shorty's for a late lunch on Saturday--my husband, mother-in-law, and I. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so we were seated immediately. Service was attentive, and our waitress promptly brought our margaritas and water. The margaritas were generously sized but disappointingly weak. For food, my mother-in-law ordered the shrimp and chorizo quesadilla, which she found quite greasy. My husband had the fish tacos--plenty of food and he enjoyed them. I went with the Cobb salad, which was good, but I noticed the price was higher than what was listed online, which felt a bit off. Overall, service was solid, food was okay, but nothing special. We gave it another shot after more than a decade, but I don't see us rushing back anytime soon. read more

I've never dined inside so this review is all about the outdoor experience. Whenever I'm in town I enjoy sitting on the patio, sipping drinks and sharing appetizers with friends. Shorty's offers a Tex Mex style menu with popular dishes such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos and nachos. Entrées are mostly allergy-friendly and portioned for sharing unless you're starving. Love the drink selection, especially the Founders hard seltzer! Grapefruit pairs so well with chips and queso, oddly enough. Staff is consistently efficient and provides flawless service each visit. They've had no issues with helping my party order our gluten-free meals. The view of the parking lot and sound of speeding cars on the neighboring Everett Turnpike leave something to be desired. read more

My favorite Mexican food in the area. Always fresh n well presented. Service is good. The place is clean and pleasant

I was there Saturday afternoon and ordered a margarita and the small glass came half full. So I ordered a Tito's and splash of Cran. It came in a small glass with no ice in it. Less than a full shot! You need to either teach this bartender or get rid of! read more

When hubby and I come to Nashua for shopping at our favorite stores. We always pass by Shorty's and suggest we stop by to try it out. I finally convinced hubby to try it out. If it's not good we will not come back. Duuuh I tell him. We were both surprised at how good it was. The food quantity and quality was great! Service was very good. Even hubby agreed to come back again. And he is a hard person to please and convince. LoL... He was most satisfied with his choice of food. Chicken sandwich he said was a good size piece and lots of fries! My beef burrito was beyond good. Very filling! Very glad we finally decided to give it a try. read more

Stopped in for dinner. It was mostly empty inside and we were seated immediately. Service was extremely slow - a draft beer took over 20 minutes (ordered right after we sat, came right after our food), dishes arrived at different times, and the check took forever even after it was requested. The food was mediocre. Rice had obviously been sitting and was dried out. BBQ quesadilla lacked flavor. Unfortunately, I don't anticipate a return visit. read more

When we lived in the area this was one of our very favorite restaurants. After 20 yrs, we happened back here yesterday and stopped for lunch. The food was just as good and maybe even better! This place has never disappointed us! read more

Stopped in on NYE for a quick snack during our shopping day. Grabbed some drinks and some apps, Everything was great, Drinks are GOOD!!! Waitress was great, I seriously wanted to be friends with her, she sat down to chat with us and I love that!!! The apps were delicious, wish we could have stayed longer & ordered more food, but had to get home & grab Chinese food as it was NYE for the rest of the house!! Am often up in the area so will definitely stop back in, and Ooh the Sour Cream/Ranch whatever it is called dressing, I WANT TO BATHE IN IT.. OMG Its the best thing ever! Ill buy a gallon next time Im there! I cant remember what we ordered but it was an app platter and I just remember the jalapenos being TOO hot, but the Empanadas were DELISH!!! And something else on it was great, but I cant remember what it was called! I think I took a pic, Ill go look and come back & edit!! read more

The problem I have with Shortys, when I go sit at the bar, I feel like want to be there more than they want to be there.

Another great meal at Shorty's in Nashua. The bartender Kate is the best!! She always is so friendly, gets all of our orders correct and makes the best drinks!!! We got enchiladas, steak quesadilla and chicken tenders. All were delicious! Strongly recommend sitting in the bar and asking for Kate! read more

Came here with a friend after a spontaneous rain ruined our walk, and was super impressed with their covid reopen efforts! The menus are online, staff is masked and seating is though fully spaced. Free chips and salsa are always awesome. I am always content with their vegetarian options (kinda easy with Mexican food) but the mushroom fajitas were very good and gluten free. Service was great and the bathrooms were decently clean! read more

Food and service were both amazing. Chingalingas are a recommended start. Fish tacos are fresh, crispy and delicious.

I, like many folks of the area, have many memories of hearing all about Shorty's on the radio. It took me a long time to finally stop at Shorty's but my partner and I were hoping to try something new. Unfortunately for us, this place isn't a spot we will come back to. To begin, we walked in on a Friday night and sat right down inside at a booth. We ordered a couple drinks when our waitress came over, and the drinks were interesting to say the least. My partner's strawberry margarita was okay, but my margarita was just straight booze. I know some folks would see this and get pumped, but I like some balance to my drink and this was comically strong; I can honestly say I tasted nothing at all but the tequila. We ordered the fried pickles and peppers, but somehow the fried pickles and peppers were so salty they were basically inedible. No one had added any salt, the flavor was just that intense. I gave them a fair shot and ate a couple handfuls but it was surprisingly bad, and I feel bad saying that. For the meals, I ordered a Cali burrito, which wasn't terrible, just forgettable and not very seasoned. I will say a highlight of the meal was the lime rice and river city beans, as a combo they slapped. My partner ordered the Tijuana Dancehall, which was inoffensive. I don't think the server was rude or anything, but she was barely around and it dragged out a pretty blah experience. I could see people liking a place like this for a heavy pour and hanging with the regulars, but that's not me. read more

I never write reviews. But I just had a great time at Shorty's. Could be a fluke but I sat at the bar and several of the other customers and myself ACTUALLY talked! A great old school conversation! Bartender was involved and jovial. TV's and music were in the background but not too intrusive. Great local brew selection that apparently rotates often. And the food was good too! Definitely will return. Good vibe. read more

Fantastic as always!! My server Emily G in Nashua was attentive and professional. Thank you!

Good quesadillas and margaritas. If it is really busy it can take a while. We like to sit in the bar area.

Best taco salads that we have gotten in a long time. They were much improved. Call ahead take out service is great!

Great salad! The fajita steak is delicious and the Cesar dressing has the perfect amount of spice/seasoning!

Awesome Haddock Espinaca $ Fish tacos . terrific service too from Mackenzie. Ambiance was very nice too.
