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.

Really good food Who would have thought that I would find good Mexican food in Maine? Try the red cabbage salad. It is a nice light substitute for rice and beans

Lovely location and set up, cozy, but not too crowded. Excellent service. Fairly good margaritas, and solid Mexican food for this far north! I didn't appreciate the entomatada option, but other than that the tamale, chile relleno, and pulled pork taco were great. I especially appreciated the homemade flour tortillas.

Excellent food, excellent service - great people! I highly reccomend you take the time to visit. Try the salsa, it is home made and THE BEST!

Baked Rellenos again tonight, wonderful dish Maine-Mex style. The new addition with 3 high tops and 8-seats at bar when you enter is just great, cuts down the wait of this popular Waterville haunt. Try the jalapeño beer, sounds like crap but this local brew on tap is 8% and quite luscious with spicy specialty entrées. Pleasant service at bar tonight and everything is so new opened less than a month. Still my favorite restaurant in town of Waterville.

What an awesome surprise in Waterville! Stopping here every time I pass through. Five minutes from the highway. I had Chipotle chicken and potatoes, and it was delicious. Sufficiently spicy, very tasty. And the place is packed, so I know i didn't luck out. Thanks to whoever started this place and thanks to the chef.

Who'd expect to find such a great TexMex restaurant in Waterville, ME? But there it is. One of the best we've had and we've to alot of them. Highly recommended.

I had heard that this place had authentic Mexican food, but I've had "authentic" Mexican food before, haha. I didn't know what to expect; however, this food was actually quite surprising. I had chicken fajitas, and everything was made fresh. The amount of spice I asked for was perfect, and the amount of food served was unbelievable--I had to bring some home. Oh, and the tortilla chips served while you wait for your meal are terrific. The salsas that they give you are SO good.

This is a very cute 12 table restaurant in Waterville, Maine. The front of the restaurant is a bit disorganized. It took a couple of minutes for the hostess to appear. Once we were seated, things smoothed out somewhat. We were served tortilla chips with some excellent salsas. Wine by the glass was very good. There was a good IPA on tap. The food was good. We all ordered some variation of fajitas. Two of us had chicken and I had mixed fajitas, with steak, chorizo, chicken and shrimp. The portions were enormous. They were different than most fajitas in that the meat was served with melted cheese on top and there was no sour cream, guacamole or pico de gallo. The portions were gigantic. We received 3 tortillas each, which covered about 20% of what we were served. The fajitas were accompanied by beans and surprisingly al dente rice. The restaurant ran out of the IPA that was on tap and salsa verde- sort of surprising. Overall a nice casual restaurant with a few mis-steps. I would go back.

Food was less than sub-par, I ordered the shredded beef tacos....bad choice. The meat was flavorless, the corn tortillas were wet and soggy, I couldn't even pick the taco up without everything falling out of the bottom. There was way too much lettuce on top and the tomatoes were old. I had two bites and refused to finish because it was so bad. Pushed my full plate of food to the end of the table and of the three different servers that came over no one asked what was wrong. My check was not comped even though I didn't want a box and left a full meal there to be thrown away. I understand this is Maine and not Central America but the food is a far cry from being " Mexican" cuisine. I will never visit this establishment again and I suggest you do the same.

Had another solid meal at this gem this past weekend. Lunch special: chicken tamale, rice and black beans for 6.75. Unlimited chips and house-made salsas. A couple of dos equis. Perfect Saturday.

I came here for the first time today, and it was to die for! I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita, and to my surprise, I could taste the alcohol, it wasn't completely watered down. Then we had the pulled pork chimi, and the quesadillas... Everything was piping hot and delicious. Definitely a must try!

Okay, so I have to qualify "as good as it gets" -- I'm a recent transplant from Tucson, Arizona, so my ratings for Mexican cuisine will be skewed -- BUT considering that we are in Maine, this place is as good as it gets. I tend to order vegetarian dishes -- and have found that the fajitas, enchiladas, and chile rellenos are all great. Even tho the wait can sometimes take awhile, I appreciate how kind and helpful the wait staff are (accommodating special requests; making margaritas less sweet; and finding specific salsas/hot sauces). The green cilantro salsa and chipotle salsas are phenomenal, and the hot sauces (for sale) are excellent. In fact, we're ordering a selection of Jalisco Hot Blueberry salsa for our friends back home (no, it's not blueberry-like in a gross sort of way; it's perfect). Thank you, Buen Apetito for making the transition to Maine that much easier.

It's 5:15 and we're all a little bit hungry. We've been running around all day, toting people to Sunday River so that they can ride their bikes to Belfast for the trek across Maine and we're now starving, so we decide to grab an early dinner. We arrive at Buen Appetito at about 5:30 and the line is out the door! Ha ha, that isn't saying much, there is only a small waiting area inside the door, but still its 5:30 and all the tables are full! I guess I'm in Maine, I shouldn't be too surprised. Anyways, the service is exactly what I want - there when I need them, gone when I don't. The food is great; the chips and salsa were perfect to wet my appetite before . Its not extravagant, its pretty simple, actually. I got the beef chimichanga and it was very filling - enough for two people really. Its one of the most consistently good restaurants in the greater waterville area.
