The garlic nachos at Hermanos are worth the trip alone. Be sure to order a large plate, because you’ll just want more. And try one of their margaritas to go with your nachos. They don’t do frozen margarita’s at Hermanos, just rocks, salt, and delicious.

We enjoy Margaritas complimentary chips and salsa to the point of absurdity. We just can’t seem to get enough. If you haven’t tried the fish tacos, you really have to, they’re a real favorite.

Tio Juan’s Margaritas Mexican Restaurant & Watering Hole – Review

Andrea — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:21:26 +0000

Roger and I adore Mexican food. At home we often cook with cumin, chili powder, chiles of all kinds, lime, corn, beans, and cilantro. My husband has become a fiend for chipotle flavored anything. And we both like it hot.

My complaint with most Mexican restaurants is that they glop up everything with cheese. It isn’t always traditional and it tends to make most dishes to heavy.

So, we enjoy visiting Tio Juan’s Margarita’s in Concord (we sometimes pop into the Manchester and Lebanon locations) for three reasons:

Icy cold Dos Equis Amber served with two wedges of lime in a nice big 20-oz glass
Their spicy salsa and warm chips. The salt spice balance is just right and the chips the perfect vehicle.
Fish Tacos

I don’t think I was aware of fish tacos until a few years ago, but how can you go wrong wrapping anything hot and spicy in tortillas.

The Fish Tacos at Margaritas are two white corn tacos filled with flaky, crusted talapia (crushed tortilla dip before cooking) and home-made corn salsa and shredded red cabbage. They come with a side of chipotle mayonnaise.

The challenge is to get both down without the second one falling apart in your hand. Hey, life is filled with challenges. If you fail, drown your sorrows in a second 20-oz Dos Equis. Poor baby.
