beautiful food, quick knowledgeable service. don’t pass this place up! �
My wife and I have been going to Vermont for fifteen years and to Gringo Jacks, formerly Candeleros, for just about as long. The food is always fresh and delicious and those chips and guacamole are the best.
Went there yesterday with my wife and another couple. My beers were fresh, and the margaritas that my companions had were good. Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. The calamari appetizer was excellent, as well as the guacamole, which was adequately chunky, not overly mashed. Will be back.

A friend and I took a Sunday road trip to Vermont and decided to have lunch here; her 2nd time and my first.
We chose inside seating, but there is also an outdoor option for nice weather days.
I loved the decor as well as the seating (very comfortable for a leisurely hour lunch). For any sports-watchers, there is also a TV that was showing the Sunday game.
Our server was friendly and welcoming and there was a nice gentleman circulating regularly for water refills.
Chips and salsa (free!) arrived pretty much as soon as we were seated. Homemade, warm chips and definitely house-made salsa that had just a bit of heat.
We each ordered a starter and an entree.
My watermelong gazpacho soup was light and a little sweet. First time I have had gazpacho made like this and I would order it again. My friend chose the black bean dip; more of those awesome chips and a cheesy, yummy bean dip to scoop up. (I definitely sampled hers.)
We both ordered specials of the day. She tried the Pollo empanadas. I didn't try them myself, but she pronounced them creamy and delicious.
I ordered the birria tacos; this has become my newest obsession, and I love trying them any chance I get. First, this was a HUGE entree - 3 truly stuffed tacos! These were some of the best I have had anywhere. The shredded beef was tender and juicy, and the pickled onion was a perfect accompaniment. I asked for charto beans and rice for my side abd they were also delicious.
Highly recommend stopping here!
What a cool place. Food is incredible, the building is very old with lots of character. The wait staff was fun and engaging. Our waiter took our tables 8 person orders without writing it down and everything was perfect. Very impressive.
Another great visit to this restaurant. All tables get the house salsa and homemade chips. Worth the trip just for the chips. Crispy and oh so good tasting. The soup and appetizer are huge and could feed more than one easily. The chimichanga did not disappoint, plenty of meat. The shrimp tacos were the only thing if I had to ding just a bit. Pickled onions on top were a bit much and I removed most of them. The chunks of avocado instead of guacamole made the taco a challenge to bite in to but the shrimp and mango salsa made the tacos worth the slight inconvenience.
Seated immediately and the waitress was charming even though she gave us the wrong bill when we cashed out the first time.
I've dined at Gringo Jack's in the past, and was always disappointed with the food and service. So, why go back tonight? My in town favorite, Ye Olde Tavern, was completely booked solid, while Gringo Jack's had plenty of available seating.
My server, Jack (not Gringo) was actually excellent, with sensible recommendations if not a bit of upselling. The beef chimichanga was actually excellent, too, as was Jack's suggestion for the beer on tap.
So, why 4 stars and not 5? A pesky 3.5% fee for using a credit card! Cmon, you're gonna upset an otherwise rave review and multiple recommendations for a lousy buck-twenty-five.
Nonetheless, waiter Jack and really good food made me like Gringo Jack's again. Recommended.
We went at 4:00 Columbus Day. Was awesome as usual. I liked the pepper garden too !
Great Mexican food in Manchester! We arrived and took note of the signs recommending that folks call to make a reservation, and they fit us right in. Tonight we dined outside and had great service from Wendy. The food and drinks tasted great! We have also dined inside during past visits, enjoying their wonderful atmosphere. Be sure to stop by when you are in town.
Great service and pleasant staff. Food came out really quickly. Margaritas are worth it. Guacamole tastes really fresh and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend the dessert sampler!
The food here is amazingly tasty. Tried tacos, quesedilla and pizza all of them are delicious.
I tried a jalapeño margarita and it was stunning..!!
The server was helpful and polite in answering all the questions.
I was in town for 4 days of hiking. The food was so good, I had dinner there the rest of my time in Manchester (3 straight days!). Their fajita bowl is absolutely brilliant. Also tried their pulled pork plate and the beef chimichanga. They get extra credit for having Rescue Club IPA (NA).
Food was bland, I ordered the shrimp tacos and no seasoning at all, no flavor. I did like the black beans and rice on the side. Tortillas were good. Chips were good, drinks were perfect and the service was excellent. I will return, but next time, I'm gonna try ordering something else.
Great place, very authentic vibe. Extremely friendly staff. Very tasty food, i especially loved the thai tacos, never had anything like that before. Loved the whole place. Was a really nice experience. I am glad we went here while we were in the city to see fall colors. Highly recommend
Came here for lunch Sat Oct 8th. Seated right away. Service was prompt and excellent. Chips and salsa outstanding. We could tell that the chips were fresh and homemade. Empanadas we're seriously great. Homemade masa crust. Tender juicy chicken and cheese filling. Tamales very good and chimichanga good. Nice portions. Also the fresh corn salad was nice addition. Plus. The rice serving wasn't ridiculously large as at some other places Margaritas yummy.
We dine here a few times a year. Top drawer Mexican food. As a bonus, their chips are outrageously good. We recommend Jacks to friends often.
My eyes were a little bigger than my stomach, but I enjoyed every bite before I boxed up the rest to take home. The guacamole for two was large and had just the right amount of bite. Wings were great and so was my wife's quesadilla.
Highly recommend visiting for lunch/dinner packed with delicious entrees, homemade tortilla chips and salsa, and the most delicious drinks (including non-alcoholic)! The staff is super nice and very helpful with selecting options, a must-visit!!
