Salsa Verde Grill

Salsa Verde is a lush stream in a culinary desert - serving refreshing and delicious food. I live locally and I usually skip the local/mostly seasonal eateries. The experience I had at this small restaurant has me eager to return to try more! I highly recommend their grilled chicken - the flavors are vibrant and the meat is a nice change from your typical dry-shredded chix. Their soft corn tortillas are lovingly prepared. I could drink the house made salsa. Basically - don’t settle for sad food when you can eat here and leave truly satisfied!

Oh to have one of these margaritas again. They’re made from scratch with fresh ingredients and the perfect amount of kick! We chatted with one of the owners while we sat at the bar and he was incredibly kind and personable. Polished off our margaritas with delicious chips and salsa and homemade churros! This is a spot we’d absolutely return to right away when in Bar Harbor again!

I had the pleasure of dining at this Mexican restaurant in Bar Harbor, and I must say it left a lasting impression. The restaurant's warm and inviting ambiance gave it a unique feel, more like a hearth than a traditional eatery.

The food was exceptional, showcasing the rich and authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine. Each dish was carefully prepared and bursting with taste. From the savory tacos to the mouthwatering enchiladas, it was a delightful culinary journey.

The cocktails were a standout feature, expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and precision. Sipping on these well-balanced concoctions added to the overall enjoyment of the evening.

The attentive and friendly staff added to the positive experience, making us feel right at home.

In conclusion, if you're in Bar Harbor and craving authentic Mexican cuisine in a cozy and inviting setting, I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed.

If I was told that one of the best Mexican restaurants I’d ever have, after having it in CA, AZ, NYC, and even Mexico would be in Bar Harbor, Maine, I would have thought I was being told a joke. My wife and I had dinner and drinks here and everything was outstanding. The margaritas were carefully crafted (had the opportunity to watch Trent make them for us) and perfectly balanced in flavor, they felt great too. The food was authentically and unapologetically (the hot salsa is HOT) New Mexican style with influence from Southern CA and Mexico. The overall experience and style was reminiscent of a home cooked meal. We had the opportunity to meet the family who owns and runs the restaurant and they were incredibly warm and genuine, if they’re not too busy, say hello and get to know them. We highly recommend everyone try this place out if you can get a seat as this will be a staple in Maine and the greater Northeast. Thank you again, Trent and Lisa!
