Read the other low rating reviews, particularly those that emphasize the lack of flavor in the food. I had high hopes for this place, but it really disappointed. The rice was mushy and tasted like it had no seasoning except for chicken broth. The beans were just wrong all around. They taste like canned chili beans, which just doesn’t mesh well with the overall flavor profile of the dish. The chips and salsa were good but that’s about it. The chicken in the taquitos wasn’t marinated and it was hard to chew and swallow. I hope they’re able to improve.

We were so excited to have a taste of the Southwest in Maine. A ladies lunch on a hot summer day, we had been talking about it for weeks. We read the hype and were looking forward to this meal. However, sadly we were let down! It was extremely warm in the dining area (we saw a table of 5 leave before ordering). The server was not terribly friendly. Also, it was a somewhat limited menu. But, who can go wrong with tacos right …well, the only thing that I enjoyed were the beans, I dunked the tasteless rice in the beans, so that worked. Tacos were horribly dry, cubes of dried out meat and lettuce with a cheese garnish…we asked for sour cream and/or guacamole (nope he said). !!!! The photo I have shared is the remnants of me trying to eat it. Server asked at the end of the meal how things were. We were honest! He presented the bill without an apology or an excuse. Don’t waste your time here ~ there are better/more enjoyable places to eat in Bar Harbor, I can’t imagine they will stay in business long. $50 for a horrible meal/lunch ~

We were in the mood for something different than lobster… We love Mexican cuisine, so when I checked the menu, I knew we should give it a try! I had the steak street tacos, model especial, and an elote (roasted corn, Mayonnaise, chili, and cotija cheese) and it was delicious! They make their own tortillas, the steak was seasoned, and the salsa was the perfect heat.

So many things on the menu I wanted to try! Both the street tacos and enchiladas were amazing, they tasted so fresh. And I loved the decorations inside too. Definitely recommend!

We were visiting Bar Harbor from Nashville and discovered hidden gem in “lobster town”! Lot many people we needed a (brief) break from all the lobster we had eaten. We met the owner Lisa and she recommended her restaurant. Despite the fact that we had lunch about an hour earlier we stopped by. We intended to have a drink, but the menu intrigued us. We shared the Steak Street Tacos. They were excellent! I also had a Corona Sunrise. Trenton the other owner expertly made it for me. I fell in love. Not with Trenton although he was charming, but with my drink. The atmosphere was vibrant and colorful. Music made it even better (thanks Lisa!!!!). They do quite a bit of carry out business which for me is an indicator of how popular they are with the locals. Highly recommend Salsa Verde. Oh…we loved it so much we went back the next day and enjoyed some delicious guacamole .

If you come to Bar Harbor, this is the only place to eat. We love authentic Mexican and this is as authentic as it comes. This is a small family business and they did everything right! I wish this place was in my hometown!!!

Delicious food, amazing margaritas, and lovely owners. We had the chips and salsa, chicken enchiladas, and pomegranate margaritas. All fantastic! Then the chef brought out samples of their street corn- best I’ve ever had!! Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience. So happy to have you in town!

Best restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time! Food was amazing and the service was incredibly charming. If you’re willing to be patient for an excellent meal, served by a friendly family, in a quaint spot, this one is a must. Also perfect for non-meat eaters.
