There's seating indoor, upstairs, and outdoors and while there is a lot of seating you gotta scout seating because it fill sup quickly. I had Hommies in a blanket with pork sausage and avocado added. And, honestly it's worth it. Definitely a big boy sandwich. So much that I needed a nap after. The cabot cheddar that they use is phenomenal and really ties the wrap together. The sunrise moon platter is also really good. It has all the breakfast essentials. The home fries are nice and tender. I could snack on them all day. Platter, as a whole, lacked some salt. Pastries are a must too. Don't leave without trying their cider donuts or Cinnamon bread pudding. I, especially, recommend the bread pudding.

We all are vegetarian and I am extreme low sodium so they were always able to accommodate me with saltless chips etc and I don't have an over sodium reaction! This trip I had my usual Black Bean & Cheese Chimichanga!! Always so delicious service with sides of Rice & your choice of beans which I always get refried! Seemed to have less cheese than in the past. My Drink is Horchata it was delicious however seemed to be lacking cinnamon in and on top of it this time. MY DH got the vegetarian Enchiladas trio! It was amazing as well! Drink his usual pineapple Jarritos. Alden A was a great waiter and very busy because everyone arrived shortly after we ordered. Some guests were high maintenance which extended our time there because of it and they even were finished and leaving before we received our check. But that's fine, it quieted down. Restaurant the restaurant is always clean including the rest rooms. The Food Network came here in 2012 and re did the menu and the restaurant decor, it was nice before they made it brighter with simple Mexican accents. Plus I noticed on AI they came back in 2017 to see how Things were!! Boy I was so happy that after a year so of the refurb they brought back our favorites!! We will be back the next time we're in the area! I did hear that there are new owners that took over a while back. Prayers that they keep up With the original owner's standards. Sorry no photos.

I googled and found "The Box." www.theboxfoodtruck.com I read their story and their menu. It sounded pretty great. So I contacted Caleb Lara (chef/owner of The Box) and arranged for him to park out front of The Hartland Diner (I own The Diner) for my birthday and "cater" for my 20-30 guests. Best. Idea. Ever. Caleb grew up in the San Diego/Baja, California area and trained at the Culinary Institute of America. After he was laid off during Covid he was able to buy The Box food truck and launched a menu based upon the Mexican taco/burrito/nacho style of the area he grew up in. O.M.G. Caleb's food is OFF THE CHARTS. Delicious beyond anything you're imagining, or anything any of us in The Upper Valley has ever had, if we're talking about tacos, nachos, burritos, Mexican "street food." The Box is serving local pork and beef (they will tell you which local farms they source from) and using The Best Quality fish that comes directly from The Boston Fish Market to The Upper Valley from Wood Mountain Fish. I personally do not eat beef, pork or poultry. But I DO eat fish. The Box's fish tacos are The Best fish tacos I've ever had. And I've eaten a lot of different kinds of fish tacos in a lot of different places. The fish is SO BEAUTIFULLY FRESH and fried to order right there inside the truck. Your actual taco shell/tortilla can make or break a taco experience. For me, it HAS to be a fresh made corn tortilla. That really is the only legitimate taco. The Box is using only fresh made, Guerrero corn tortillas that are so delicious I'd eat them alone. The vast majority of Pico de Gallo in this world is very disappointing. It tends to lack flavor and your tomatoes need to be excellent. Pico has ZERO shelf life. It is fresh ingredients and you need to make it and serve it FRESH. The Box's Pico de Gallo is the best I've ever eaten (I've eaten Pico all over the Southwest - so I'm not just talking here). Flavorful, delicious, FRESH. Tacos also have actual, Cotijo cheese. Once you've eaten these foods with legit Cotijo cheese there is no going back. Actual, authentic ingredients are what Caleb uses in The Box and you can tell. The Box serves everything with their own, fresh, from scratch salsa made with tomatoes, tomatillos, habanero peppers, amongst other things. It is INSANELY good and elevates the food even further. (I LOVE LOVE LOVE tomatillos.) I did not eat ALL DAY on my birthday so I would have room for as much Mexican food as possible. I ate 4 fish tacos. AND nachos. Since I don't eat chicken (The Box's nachos are usually made with Caleb's pulled chicken) Caleb made me vegetarian nachos. My friends. I. Love. Nachos. I could potentially eat nachos every day of my life. Sadly, most nachos are really terrible, with that horrendous so-called "nacho cheese." NOT THESE NACHOS!!! The Box nachos are made with their own, house made Guerrero tortilla chips (CRAZY FREAKING DELICIOUS), slow simmered Pinto beans (one of my favorite beans), fresh Cotijo cheese, Chipotle Crema (again, just so much more delicious than anything you've ever eaten), the house made salsa and the most perfectly ripe avocado sliced over top. It cost me about $1000 to feed my entire party the most delicious Mexican food they'd ever had and AS MUCH of it as they wanted AND I did not have to clean a single plate or pot. Just a fantastic, wonderful, DELICIOUS experience. Caleb and Donna, who ran the truck and cooked for us and served us were WONDERFUL. And Donna SANG ME Happy Birthday. I will be hiring The Box for EVERY gathering in the future. I'm not even kidding. GET THESE TACOS. Any way you can.

They have the best Chix that we have had anywhere!! Everything is fresh, tasty and one would never know that it's all Vegan! My Husband gets the Heathen Chix Taco Salad. We have been coming to him for quite a while now, and were so happy when we found out he opened a restaurant and don't have to worry about the weather! There are several places too sit, coupled tables along the wall, couple of 4 seats or more tables in the front and also a bar along the cooking area.

Black Magic Mexican makes incredible food, even before you factor in that it's vegan. The ingredients are fresh, and the portions are huge! For most people, they would be hard pressed to realize that the food was vegan if they weren't told (although the cashew queso might clue some in). The 3 tacos were more than sufficient for a meal, as I took one home to eat later. The chips and guacamole was another enormous portion. They have a lot of options to please even the pickiest of vegans or the staunchest meat eaters. The marg I had was small for the price, but definitely made up for it in strength and taste. Super cool vibe in the building, and service was insanely fast. Like, surprised me how fast. Black magic is a gem in Leb and overshadows the neighboring restaurants by a long shot in freshness and taste. If price wasn't a factor I'd eat here every other day, and this is coming from someone who loves a good steak.
