This little hole in the wall in Manchester is totally worth the trip. We found things on the menu that reminded us of meals we loved in California. I had all three tamales and liked the veggie one best. He loved the sopes al pastor. The beef empanadas was our favorite of the three. The service was great. You could tell the owner and his wife took great pride in their business and the food they cooked from scratch. We'll definitely be back.

Margaritas features a bar, flat screens for sports viewing and plenty of seating with a full menu of standard Mexican fare. We were promptly seated and our service was friendly and efficient. My grilled steak chimichanga took care of my hunger and tasted great. Careful if you order a house salad--it's big! Music was a bit loud but otherwise an enjoyable dining experience!Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed our delicious Steak Chimichanga and our awesome team! We look forward to seeing you at Margaritas, soon!

we stopped by here for dinner with co-workers. We came here because the restaurant we were going to was closed on Mondays. The restaurant was fairly empty so we were seated immediately. The Black Diamond margaritas was awesome. Very tasty - had a couple of Coronas after that. They have a full bar and many different kinds of margaritas. The chips and salsa was good - asked for another kind of salsa and they gave it in a very small cup.The guacamole was awesome. and so was the queso. The veggie fajitas was good but not great. The kitchen was closed so we couldn't order dessert - but they served us baileys from the bar.The service was friendly but average. The waitress couldn't understand our orders and we had to repeat ourselves multiple times. And it was bad that they didn't ask us if we wanted anything before kitchen closed.

While the food is inconsistent in prep, its regularly decent. However service is TERRIBLE. waitress disappear for extended lengths of time, often have to ask repeatedly for....a glass of water, silverware just the basics. There are a couple that do a decent job, in fact we have walked out several times when we see who is working, ...the food, the the price points DO NOT justify the lack of service. Along with several other couples who were weekly regulars have or are going elsewhere, way to frustrating. (and to top it off...draft beer is warmest in area, barely chilled). So DISAPPOINTED , this was our go to for several years... too many options a couple miles up the road!

So we stopped by for dinner last night. This was our 1st visit. The place in in a plaza that is a tad bit seedy but the inside of this place has a great vibe. The decorations are great, the seats are comfortable and the service was excellent. The complimentary chips and salsa were very good. The chips were warm, not too salty and not too greasy. The salsa was very fresh. We tried the spinach queso and it was by far my least favorite I have ever tried. It was way too runny, it was dripping all over the place and they cooked the spinach in some sort of smoky seasoning - so it had a very strong smoked flavor. Not my bag - but may others might like it. I had the mole chicken dish. It was ok - it was basically shredded chicken with the sauce poured over it. On the plate was also rice and a small salad topped with sour cream. The lettuce was fresh and had just been washed. I know this because my plate was watery. The rice in particular was very watery due to the lettuce. I overheard the guy behind me ordering his plate and specifically asked that the salad be put in a bowl so I'm wondering if this is a thing with them. We also tried the fried ice cream - meh.... It was made with corn flakes. It was ok but I have had much better. Not quite a crunchy as I was hoping. The best part of the visit was the tequila menu - you can pick the level (type) of tequila you want in your drink and there are many options - that was nice. Sadly, this place did not make a big enough impression on us to want to go back.

This is a self service restaurant and not too big on ambiance, however they are consistently good, the counter service is friendly and professional and the food is quite good. Food is usual suspects; taco, burritos, quesadillas etc. They serve the food with your choice of green or red sauce thats very good. The restaurant is fairly small (the old Albees on Amherst St) its directly across the street from Manchester District Court. Some on street parking outside, and a parking garage within a block.

Following the success of T-BONES, the first Cactus Jack's opened in 1995 in Manchester. In 2007, the Laconia location became New Hampshire's first dual casual dining concept - with both Cactus Jack's and T-BONES - on Lake Winnipesaukee. While it keeps up

cannot complain about the foodcoke was good .....i say this because on many occasions the coke was flat and had to request another coke from a different fountain......what beats me is that every time that we were there, we always received the flat coke first?the food is always good ( except for fried clams .... way too salty)we had Erick as our server....he needs training....we feel that he had no training.we had to go to bar for refills.....he threw the plates on our table....never returned to check on us, even though we saw him roaming around....and the worst thing was when we asked for doggy bags.....he tossed all our food in one container and mixed different food together.....not even fit for a dog.Hello Manseekingfood (great name by the way), We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback and will make sure it is used as a coaching opportunity for our staff.

When this location first opened it was an excellent restaurant and we have visited there many times. In recent years it seems to me there has been a steady downhill slide of food quality and preparation. The most recent visit ended my desire to ever return. The part of the entire meal was the basket of chips and salsa. The dinner plates lacked flavor and quality. The mains were served without mention of the thermo nuclear temperature of the plates they sit on. We all touched them and we all burned our hands. That's totally unacceptable as it tells me this is just cold, previously prepared, reheated food. The rice even had the burnt crust on the top. The beans were a soupy tasteless mess. Even worse, the ground beef in my taco's was not completely cooked. To add insult to injury we all experienced abdominal distress for the rest of the evening. What happened to the quality of food and presentation of the past? There are plenty of good restaurants in the area and no reason to patronize this one again.

We went here for lunch the food was delicious. The guacamole was so good just the right flavor. The Cadillac Margaritas were large and delicious. The shrimp tacos were flavorful with mushrooms and green onion. My husband had the beef tacos and daughter in law the chicken they thoroughly enjoyed them. My son enjoyed a pork burrito. I would highly recommend!
