El Pocho's Mexican Grill 990 Lisbon Street, Lewiston, ME 04240

"Very small establishment with limited bar style seating to a front-show view of the chefs at their craft. Highly recommended to call ahead of time and order for takeout. Chicken tacos were a little dry; but the beef chimichanga with red sauce was a feast to behold. Definitely some tasty Mexican food in Maine, you get a lot of food for what you pay for. Their chips are delicious too."

"The folks here are literally the best, most kind, wonderful humans. Truly a gem of a place. Hot sauce lines the counter and watching these amazing people work is so fun. The food is what I think to be THE BEST Mexican food I’ve ever had. Even the rice and beans are delicious and have so much flavor! Yolanda behind the counter is the friendliest and most personable woman ever. Her brother Jose is an artist behind the counter serving the tastiest Mexican food. Everyone who works here is so nice. Be sure to follow their Facebook where they post daily specials that are delicious. These guys work so hard as a family to turn out the best food. Such a cool little place."

"Excellent authentic Mexican! Honestly best rice I ever had and I've had alot from all over! Fast ...I just wish place was larger..hard to get on tall stools alcohol would be a plus.. but its definitely crave worthy n once u eat here u won't forget it"

"This is some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had ! I’ve moved around plenty and spent a few years in California, where there is an abundance of Mexican food. This is easily up there as far as Mexican food goes. This restaurant can be tricky to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for. It is attached to the mini-mart for the Coast to Coast gas station on the corner. Inside it’s relatively small, it can probably house 10 people max. It’s equipped with stools on the counter, bar style. It can get busy during peak lunch hours. The food itself is fantastic. They provide a lot with each order too, especially the nachos. Pro tip: check their Facebook page for the daily specials, it’s always something different and it will not disappoint."

"What a great surprise. First, know that this restaurant is attached to the gas station. Second, know that this is not "gas station" food. The burrito and flautas were made with care and they were amazing. I think I have tried almost every Mexican restaurant in Maine, and this one is in the top of that category. The folks running the shop seemed to genuinely care that we had a good experience. The burrito, I had steak, was rich and earthy. The refried beans were especially good. The flautas had layers of flavor. If you like spicy, try the house red sauce. It is hot. Bottom line, if you are in Lewiston and are looking for some great Mexican food, give this a shot. You won't regret it."
