North of the Border

Pros: great drink menu, good food at reasonable prices
Cons: closes early

Once upon a time there was a restaurant that faced some stiff competition in its cuisine from other area restaurants. So the owner looked around at what was offered and saw a niche to fill. In a very touristy area lined with many restaurants, there were ...

Pros: not a pro in sight
Cons: 15 words can't begin to describe

While vacationing in N. Conway my husband, two children and I ate here for an early dinner. My husband got a beer, I ordered a marguarita. Wow, was it bad! More like sour mix with a touch of tequila thrown in, I had to send it back for fear of chronic ...

Pros: Lots of empty spaces in the parking lot!
Cons: They seem to have no idea what a Mexican restaurant meal should be like.

When traveling through North Conway, as we do about once a month, we usually stop for dinner in hopes of getting a great meal. Since we all love Mexican food, we have become accustomed to the awesome food at the Margarita Grille in Glen, and Cafe Noche ...

Pros: Good location
Cons: Poor quality

I was vacationing in the area for July 4th 2008 and came across this place while looking for a quick bite. I was very disappointed in the quality of the drinks and food. The “frozen” margaritas weren’t frozen, but rather were made of some sort of slightly thicker drink mix. The tacos were pretty plain and were no better than what you’d cook for yourself at home using those taco kits from the supermarket. I might have had better luck with some of the fancier things on the menu, but I did notice that a group at another table complained about their food too and had several entrees taken off their bill. This was definitely the worst meal I had during my vacation and would not return. FYI – the Margarita Grill and Cantina (on 302?) looked much better. Also, the Moat Smokehouse was excellent.
