My friends and I ate here on our trip through Maine. I would say the food is about as good as you would expect Mexican food in Maine to be.. Not horrible, but was not that great either.

Very good Mexican food. The waitress was really nice with me and her service was impeccable. The front yard is also a really nice spot to have some Margarita in front of the bonfire.Parking: There is a metered parking lot behind the building, shared with the police. It's a bit expensive though.

Not a terrible restaurant if you enjoy Mexican. I'm not a fan. Had to try it out. Very small inside dining area. The outside is amazing! Has seating around fire pits and patio area. Friendly service.Kid-friendliness: Has a simple kids menu.

The atmosphere is vibrant and bright, but the table for a family of 4 felt very cramped and difficult to accommodate all. The food was edible, though the pricing seemed imbalanced compared to the quality of the food. $19 for meatless nachos, $11 for 2x glasses of milk, did not advertise that a side of sour cream would cost $2 each, my non-sizzleing fajitas came with the tiniest fajita tortillas on top of the food and wet. The name Banditos seems apt, felt like my family got ripped off by the time we were done. Skip this restaurant

The food at this establishment is the best Mexican food I have had outside of Mexico. Staff went over and above with service. The fire pits outside are a great idea and a fun experience for dinner.Parking: There is a paid parking lot almost next door to the restaurant. Easy access.

I’d give this restaurant 6 stars if I could! The food was amazing. I’m a bit of a picky eater so I had the regular cheese quesadilla which is stuffed with cheese and grilled onions and was absolutely delicious. The rest of my family has a whole bunch of different menu items and enjoyed them all! There was very few leftovers because everything was devoured. The burrito bowls in particular were a big hit!The vibes of this place are incredible. It’s colorful and bright and definitely a fun place to come with friends or family. There are clean bathrooms. The servers were lovely and quick too! Everything was perfect.

Atmosphere outside is nice, inside smells so strongly of chemicals that I couldn't even sit inside, and instead sat out in the cold. Our waitress didn't check on us at all after bringing the food, and the food itself was flavorless and presentation was terrible. I ordered the fajitas with cheese, and the Tortillas were carelessly thrown on top, with no place to even move them to to make them. The cheese was stuck all over the bottom tortilla and essentially, it was a plate of fried up veggies, with a little chicken and inconsistently cooked rice. Extremely disappointed, especially given it was $23. I have made better at home.

Best chorizo quesadilla I’ve ever had! The service was amazing as well. I definitely recommend! And my dad really enjoyed the house margarita, if you’re into that type of thing.
We live just about 10 miles from here, love Mexican food and have never stopped here—-what a mistake on our part! Although the margaritas are not great, the shrimp burrito was fabulous; very flavorful, as was the shredded beef quesadilla that my wife enjoyed. Good service and a nice, traditional setting. We hope to stop by before they close for the season at the end of October!

Great spot. My wife and I ordered the loaded nachos. She kept eating all the nachos that were loaded with cheese, beans and meat etc, leaving me with just plain chips. I like it here because there’s a rule that basically says one person can’t eat all the loaded nachos. Once she saw that, she started sharing more. Margaritas are great too.

So this is very overpriced, small portions mexican food in an expensive area. Now if you don't know good mexican, you'd think this was good. But I know good mexican and I am ashamed I paid what I did for what I got, for as long as I had to wait to both enter and eat.This is the first mexican restaurant I've ever been to that charged for chips and salsa.Disappointed.
