Nothing authentic here, very overcooked and lacking in traditional spices. The salsa was horrible ... watery and lacking flavor.

The food is good but the wait times are typically very high and the staff can be hit or miss.

I normally don't give a long-winded review like this one is going to be but since you replied and requested more information in answer to my previous review which read"Gave this place a second chance...big mistake. This is a long way from the Mexican food that I have come to enjoy."I appreciate that you responded and I am aware that it is difficult to keep a small business going. As I said in my review this was our second visit. I was excited when we heard that a Mexican Restaurant was opening in our area and since spending many years in Arizona we developed a love for Mexican Food. On our first visit, two days after you opened, we were less than pleased but chalked it up to the fact that the staff and cook were new.When My daughter suggested we give you a second chance I was reluctant but went anyway. I realize everyone's tastes are different (hence your five-star reviews) so in answer to your question about what was wrong and what we ordered let me explain. There were five in our party and when asked what to drink there was only one Modela available. Not heart-stopping but disappointing as we wanted the full Mexican experience. While the others watched me drink the only Modela they could not eat the tortilla chips that were stale and the salsa was tasteless.We wanted to order beef tacos but were told there was no beef, at this point we should have just paid up and left but because this was a second chance we opted for chicken. The tacos were mushy and the chicken was cut into tough chunks which neither my wife nor I could eat. My daughter ordered a vegetarian fajita that was so burnt that she did not eat hers. My son-in-law (who wanted a beef burrito) also chose the Chicken Grande and again could not eat his. The fifth in our party ordered chicken enchiladas and managed to eat all his.I have to tell you that we have been eating Mexican food for many years in restaurants all the way from California to Maine. I have read your explanation of how there are many different styles of Mexican cooking and while I agree that there might be some specialty dishes in different areas things like tacos, burritos, and fajitas are fairly standard.I only hope that you can somehow improve and stay in business, but I'm sorry to say I have to give an honest review.

If there is any Mexican restaurant in the whole world I would recommend it would be mama Lola's, my God it's is literally the best authentic Mexican food I have ever tasted. If ur wanting perfection,amazing food,and out of this world service, mama Lola's is the place to be I guarantee it.Kid-friendliness: Amazing place

Food was decent. Somewhat bland. The salsa was weak and the queso tasted like it came out of a jar.

Great food great large portions prices and service thank you
It was a pleasant, spur of the moment stop while we were down for some appointments and needed to kill time. Food was good and service was friendly. Looking forward to returning on our next trip.

Do yourself a favor and save your money. There is nothing authentic about this place, it's absolutely gross. I have no idea how they stay in business!

We checked online before trying to come here and made sure we were coming when they were open. When we arrived the times listed on the door said they should have been open but they were closed without it being posted anywhere on the door or on Facebook or Google why.

When this place was a food truck it was delicious. Our last experience dining in, not so much. The place had only one other couple in there when we were seated. The floors were filthy the tables were ok but not super clean, the bathroom didn’t have a trash bag in the bin or working soap. To top it off we waited a hour for cold food and all I got was a basic cheese quesadilla and husband got a regular beef taco, both cold. Why a hour for cold food? Plus my quesadilla had hard ground beef that seemed like it was on the counter for days. Instantly turned me off from finishing my food. The margarita was all sugar syrup too not much alcohol & prices don’t reflect the prices on the menu so don’t expect your bill to add up from menu prices. We really wanted to love this place but because of our recent experience a few weeks ago we will not be coming back.

As someone who knows how to cook Mexican food and grew up in South Texas near the border , I've got to say that this is the MOST authentic food I've had while living in Maine. I came into town from Hampden and stumbled upon this gem! Was excited to see puffy tacos on the menu. Amazing! When I took a bite of the Mexican rice it brought me back home and nearly in tears. The spices so similar to my grandmothers Mex rice. I'm so happy I found this. I want to go back and order Mole!
