The poblano cream sauce appetizer is by far one of the best that we have had. Other menu items ordered: downeast special, enchilada Suiza, Miguelâs wet burrito. Followed by dessert. When we make our way back into town, we will stop to eat! Thank you very much! Yes, the poblano cream sauce has morphed into a monster seller here at Miguel's and if you've ever had it you will understand why! We appreciate your business and kind words and we very much look forward to seeing you again!

Went there on the recommendation of someone who I didnât even know suggested it because our favorite Mexican restaurant in Orono was being remodeled. Thought it sounded good and we felt like an adventure. Well, we were not disappointed. We were so pleasantly surprised. Very authentic and the most congenital staff. Also, great Margheritas. Mine was so large that I half expected to see goldfish in it. But there were no gold fish in the first or second one. If you like good size servings, you wonât be disappointed. A return visit is very likely.

Popped in to meet a friend for a drink. The bartender was very nice and the restaurant was nice and clean. We shared the southwestern egg rolls and they were very good. Bar crowd is a bit on the older side which means it isnât super loud!

My husband and I had never tried Chipotle so we wanted to check it out. We had a couple of questions about the menu and the staff seemed a little annoyed. My burrito was ok, but honestly no better than taco Bell. My husband's burrito was awful. The boy making it was too lazy to go get more meat, so instead he just scraped up the half a scoop of old scraps of meat in the bin and threw that on. Then he put all the other ingredients in the center of the wrap and just balled it up! I regret that we spent $18 there. Terrible and we won't be back.
