Authentic I pray to god that New Hampshire doesn’t ruin it. Birria melts in your mouth. Words don’t describe. After that I can’t wait to try the carnitas. If you don’t like it shame on you… you just don’t know. Awesome! Thank you.No picture because I inhaled it

This is a cool little place with good food and big drinks. It's a very casual atmosphere a Couple steps up from fast food. Full bar with great margaritas.

This place rebranded to avoid legal troubles because they were stealing tips from employees and paying them illegal wages. The only time I ate here to i got food poisoning!

Great food, but when I checked my order at home, they had given me the wrong Jaritos soda flavor. I ordered tamarindo but I got grapefruit. The only problem is that I can't drink grapefruit due to medication that I take. Oh, well. The food is really good and authentic.Vegetarian options: If you are a vegetarian you can find options.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free items are available, but not listed as such

Have been going here for the past couple of years now. My last visit will be my LAST though. The past 2 visits have been a declining experience. The food use to be spectacular but now leaves a lot to be desired. Seems once the name changed to Dora on the front of the building the quality family atmosphere and food left with the old sign.

Update from 2024: It was too good to be true. My Cielo underwent a name change because they were indicted by the feds for a wide variety of wage/tip theft and labor law violations - they have been ordered to pay $184,000. I was a regular there but won't be back unless they sell the business and change management. I really loved the food and am disappointed by their poor business practices.*My previous review from 2022-23: Authentic Mexican food that is almost too good to be true. The meal I always get is around $11-12: 3 carnitas street tacos, Mexican rice, and refried beans in a crispy tortilla. The staff is as amazing as the food. The only critique I have is that the parking is rough and inaccessible to those with handicaps.

Was craving some tacos and ordered their street tacos. Got six of them (3 chicken and 3 carnitas) and they did not disappoint. Came with rice and beans, and the beans were served in a fried tortilla...delicious! Marinated for 24hrs, the meats were flavorful. Great Mexican cuisine if you need your kick in the area. Service was spot on and attentive. The vibe of the place was right off a main drag so you can car watch through their big windows. Bar and dual level seating with a vibrant feel. Didn't see any outdoor seating, but was there in the winter. Could be there, but cannot say. Solid spot!

First time there. Will be there again. Went with comfort zone of 3 chicken tacos. Very tasty, not dry. Want to try the fish taco next.Staff was friendly and helpful.Music was great, a bit loud. But hey, I'm old.Parking: Only about 6 spots behind the building. More across the street, not clear if that private parking

Ok my fellow foodies here's another hidden NH gem. If you appreciate Mexican food especially after tacos this small unassuming joint is just the place to get your fix. This being out first time in we were pleasantly surprised by the warm chips and delicious salsa shortly after we sat down. Ordered the crazy fries and were not disappointed in the creamy cheese sauce, the delicious pickled onions and jalapeno combo. Next up came the tacos - the wife chose chicken myself, the cochinita pibil, pork marinated 24 hours and slow roasted. Both are a mouth watering explosion of flavor. The beans and rice were also a winner. You can choose 3, 6 or 12 taco platters -My only suggestion to make this a really outstanding meal would be to let us choose what meats we want not just limit it to 1. I wanted to try 3 different ones but was limited to 2. Still even with a beer and a margarita the bill was less than$50. With food this good that's a bargain.
