Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I usually avoid downtown to eat because it tends to be a logistical chore, but I heard so many good things about Verve I had to go. We went on a Monday, after 2 pm so the place was almost empty. The lady behind the counter that took care of us was super nice and walked us through our first time ordering. Ordering is similar to Chipotle as far as assembling your meal. No sweat. I had a large wheat burrito with chorizo. It was delicious! My wife had a regular white burrito with chicken and loved it! Believe the hype. PS: The 12" burritos are ENORMOUS, delicious, and messy. Grab a fork just in case. Unless you haven't eaten all day the 10" will probably take care of business.

I got so excited when I saw chipotle across from my hotel only to realize that it was opening a few months later... So I yelped burrito and saw verve and decided to give it a try. I get there and it was similarly set up like chipotle. I ordered the usual rice and beans and meat and lettuce and when I asked for chips and guac, they pointed to a bag of chips and said no guac, sorry. There's no comparison to chipotle but at least, they tried. Honestly, it wasn't very tasty. And neither was the smoothie.

I was visiting in Bangor and my aunt said that we had to try this new place called Verve which was getting great reviews around town and so we had to go! When we walked in the delicious smell of perfectly seasoned meats and rice and beans hit us and I was ready to destroy some food! The place had a very eclectic look and design which gave the place a very edgy feel. When we got to the register the ladies who were creating the burritos were so happy and nice! The service was great! I ordered a 12" burrito with steak and chorizo. I added mild salsa, sour cream, brown rice, black beans and a flour tortilla. It was amazing and delicious! I wish this place was close to my house! I'd be coming here so often that they'd tell me to leave. It blows chipotle and Moe's Grill away! If you're close you MUST try this place. You won't be disappointed!

This is a trendy little burrito joint in downtown Bangor - and I'm sorry to say, but to me, it is just so so. Pros: Verve has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and huge burritos! The location is great, and the smoothies are fantastic! Cons: the burritos are kind of bland compared to other places I have been. We went to Verve for a work lunch the other day, and a coworker said the meat in her burrito tasted like cat food. My burrito was lack luster, even when adding the special sour cream and salsa. I was starving when I went in, but stopped eating half way through, as I had lost my thrill to eat this thing. I then went back to the office and ate something more appetizing. I have been here a few times now, waiting for it to blow my skirt up and wow me, but it never has. Now I can sing the hallelujah praises as chipotle is in town, and I can get burritos that knock my socks off. I will say this - I will continue to go to Verve - but only for smoothies!

Absolutely delicious burritos, with Valentina hot sauce (which is the absolute best). On par with Chipolte for best burritos in Bangor, except that verve might win simply because they're local. Vegetarian options abound, ingredients are always fresh and always delicious, staff is friendly and you always feel good having eaten there.
(5)Kel N.
Pros: Friendly staff, vegetarian beans, variety of salsas & sauces, fresh dark green lettuce. Wheat & white tortillas available. Cool place - booths, tables, window bar, wood floors, art on the walls, good music. Cons: A bit on the expensive side for a rice & bean burrito (sm $5, lg $6, vegetable burritos $5.75/$5.75, meat burritos $6.25/7.25, +$1 to add guacamole, +.75 to add onions/peppers) that's mostly rice and doesn't come with chips or table service. Beans & rice weren't flavorful on their own, so we had to load up on sauce & salsa.

Had an absolutely wonderful burrito bowl! You have to get habanero-garlic sour cream!

A cool atmosphere and a unique menu makes this place a nice change of pace for the dining options downtown. It's a lot like Chipotle, Qdoba, Moe's, etc. but definitely not to the quality of these similar chains. Recommend this for any Tex-Mex lovers in Bangor who are in need of a fix.
(3)Jennifer C.
Attractive atmosphere, friendly, upbeat staff. We dined in and sat by the window, enjoying the view and bustle of downtown. I got the chicken burrito, spicy, with all the fixings. It was delicious, but I did find myself wishing it had more kick and heat. You will not leave hungry. The large is an impressive amount of food and I could not finish.
(3)Ethan T.
We picked this business due to the gluten-free options I had a large steak burrito and it was very satisfying. It was very friendly service a great atmosphere and a great value would recommend a family and friends.

Verve is the sole burrito proprietor in Bangor, and luckily it gets the job done. It's sort of a cross between Chipotle and Dos Toros (NYC) but much more laid back, with a lower initial price point and an a la carte additional cost for onions/peppers (+ 0.99). Burritos come in two sizes, 10 or 12", and are much smaller than the miniature footballs served at Chipotle. For the non-tortilla crowd, bowls can be ordered, but understand, they are moderately-sized cereal bowls filled with rice/beans/the works. Meat options are ALL shredded, so don't expect cut steak -- as a result, pork is certainly the best option. Also, the guacamole is shot from a caulking gun, and and is more likely a guaco-cream sauce or pre-packaged rather than served fresh, and they go light on the portion. One nice perk is the tableside tapatio, which can add some welcomed spicy kick. Overall, the burritos taste pretty damn good, and are worth trekking for when in downtown.

Breakfast burritos and coffee were tasty. They have outdoor seating and the interior is quite lovely.

Love every location of the Verve, and the food is awesome. Very high prices.
(4)Beret K.
Couldn't ask for better quality, clean food low cost awesome flavor. Got the 12" pork with piña salsa & split with my mother. We were both very satisfied with some token chips on the side. As soon as I saw the owners were same as woodsman in Orono, I figured the quality would be there. Still, very pleasantly surprised, from a girl newly from away. I will be back!

Was stopping in town on my way back from Baxter State Park, tired and hungry and not wanting to take too long. Oh, and it was Sunday night. Found Verve and it was perfect. Wish they had one of these at home. Burritos were priced well and tasted good, prices weren't bad. They heat up their tortillas in a warmer, which is a bit of a no brainer, but it's amazing how few places do this. Good salsas and good coffee too!
(5)Steve B.
This place was excellent and SO MUCH BETTER than bland, over-priced Chipolte. The young women behind the counter were quick, savvy, and fun to talk with. The chicken burrito was fresh, tasty, and huge. And, the place was clean, very comfortable, and kinda cool. Really people, support the local guys who "beat the pants off" of the big, generic food machines. Verve ROCKS!

Local chipotle in Bangor. We stopped over for breakfast on our drive from Acadia to Boston. Food is okay, not exciting. I do think Chipotle tastes better. Place was clean, nice decor, friendly people. Quick tip - portion sizes are much smaller for bowls, burritos seem fine.
(3)Kristen C.
The burritos are to die for! Being in the restaurant is so homey and comforting. If you love chipotle, you FALL for this place. The pineapple mango salsa is a must have. I love supporting local business. I wish they could open a verve in Portland!

It was a good burrito, but the burrito-ista (Is that a word? It is now!) who was behind the counter at Verve garnered this place an extra star! Having never been here before, I wasn't sure what to get... I decided to go for a standard burrito, but didn't want too much rice. The gentleman behind the counter offered not only to show me how much rice goes in the regular amount, but allowed me to choose half so that I wasn't overloaded. In addition, he offered to up my quotient of black beans, which I love! Hooray for customization! I had a chicken burrito on a whole wheat tortilla with rice, black beans, salsa Fresca, and a touch of habanero garlic sour cream (Spicy! I was warned!). Because of the extra black beans in my burrito, my server even warned me to grab some extra napkins, because it would probably be very juicy--a very good heads up! On the whole, it was tasty...I wish the chicken and beans were more seasoned, though. I'm thinking of trying a different protein next time around. Lovely layout inside, with beautiful wood throughout.

Nice fresh TexMex style food. NOT THE SLOPPY FLAVORLESS MUSH SERVED AT A COUPLE OF SO CALLED MEXICAN RESTAURANTS NEXT TO THE BANGOR MALL. All nice fresh ingredients made right in front of you in a informal setting at an ordering counter. You can wait for your order or sit down and it will be brought to your table. Both of our orders were very good, one was a burritos style and the other a burrito bowl. All the condiments were fresh and tasty with jalapenos for the asking. Going again tonight before an early show at the theater a couple of doors up.

The habenero sour cream is great if you're into spicy. Great atmosphere. Two sizes of burritos depending on how hungry you are. Grab some extra napkins because it tends to get messy. Fast, affordable and delicious.

My husband had been wanting to try Verve for awhile, so we went in one night recently for dinner. First, I loved the space. It was really cool, and unique, fitting in completely with the down town vibe. I felt it was more coffee shop than burrito joint, but I really liked it. The staff was very friendly, and attentive, no complaints there either. The food was... okay. I got a chicken burrito with cheese, rice, beans, spicy salsa, sour cream, and added guacamole. The chicken was very dry, the rice was overcooked, and the most dominant flavor in my burrito was the tomatoes from the salsa. I feel there was a major lack of seasonings, and for what I got I feel it was over priced. Don't get me wrong, the portion is large and you won't leave hungry, but the quality is lacking in my opinion. I won't be going back, based on the food I would have given less stars, but again, the space and the staff were great.
(3)Nicole C.
Clean, fast and affordable! All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I have visited twice and will definitely be a regular patron. The location is perfect for anyone working in the downtown area.
