    I’m surprised at some of these low star reviews. Came here for lunch, for the first time after coming to Manchester for many years. Atmosphere is fantastic. Great Mexican vibe in an old Vermont farmhouse. Wide plank floors, festive decor. What could be better!? Some people have questioned the prices… I guess they need to go to Taco Bell. You’re in an upscale Vermont town. You should expect to tack on five dollars to an entree up here. We found the meal to be delicious. Burrito and Chimichanga. Service was fabulous, Camille was our waitress, and she couldn’t have been more smiley and adorable. Made recommendations that we all loved. And the margaritas were fantastic!

    I usually don't do reviews but this place was so over priced and the food so flavorless I felt I had to warn others. The wait staff was attentive and nice or I'd give one star. Avoid if possible.

    No flavor. So bland I had to add salt, whereas usually the risk is Mexican being too salty. Very expensive for flavorless food. Cute place though and service very friendly but slow because they are so busy.

    The service was good, the place was cozy and we enjoyed the guacamole. However, we ordered shrimp, brisket, and chicken tacos and they all were below expectations. We will not come back

    We stopped in at the recommendation of a store shop clerk, we wanted a kid friendly place that wasn’t only pizza. Plenty of parking in the back of the. Restaurant, not just street parking. Quick to get a table for 5, hostess Sat is quick. Wasn’t very crowded. Our server was quick to say hello and we ordered our food. No apps, they give chips and salsa. The chips are great, fresh and home made, the salsa is okay, not spicy at all but it’s chunky. The spicy margarita was perfect! Ask for some hot sauce for your food, it adds the perfect touch of spice, not over powering, although the food was delicious. The chicken club with bacon and hand cut fries sounds basic but it was amazing. The chicken power bowl could use something extra, it’s light but ate with chips and added to experience. The chimichanga had a lot of chicken that was soft and with the extra hot sauce even better. The pulled pork burrito was good too, nice portion with corn salad. The chicken tenders were good too, everyone shared a bite. A table over ordered the loaded chips, that looked good for another visit to try. We’d come again although hopefully with a different server. I’d rate higher but he wasn’t attentive. We had to ask another server for the hot sauce and he never came to ask us until the very end if we needed anything else. We even had to ask about the kids ice cream, before he walked away. No ask for refills and although I didn’t want another margarita it would have been nice to be asked or the others would have wanted a soda refill. Recommend even with a not attentive server because the food was tasty.
