La Santa and La Carreta are the best I’ve had in New Hampshire. If you travel down to MA, you can go to The Painted Burro which blows everything else I’ve had out of the water, other than San Diego. It’s the closest I’ve had to San Diego. They do bottomless brunch on Sunday’s at at least one of their locations.

El Rincon as others have mentioned is an awesome sit-down restaurant - their margaritas are top notch. Consuelos is solid as well. Taqueria Y Pastelitos and El Tenampa are more bodega-like spots that mostly do takeout, you can get some really great authentic tacos and other items from these places. Rita Supermarket and Restaurants #2 is another bodega specializing in Dominican food, highly recommend. Dulces Bakery has some of the best empanadas i’ve ever had, they also make all different flavors of tres leches and other baked goods. Right around the corner from there is Antojitos Colombianos, a small restaurant serving up authentic Colombian food. All of the above mentioned are in Manchester and some are in seedy spots, but there is a lot of great food here if you know where to look!

Consuelos in Manchester has some truly delicious burritos. Try the chile verde.

I can confirm that Rincon in Manchester has good food.

Michoacana Market in Nashua has great tacos. It's a bodega, so don't plan on sitting down. Supposedly the tortas are very good there, but I haven't tried them.

You’re in Nashua, just go to Lynn, Everett, or East Boston if you want legit Mexican/Latin food. New Hampshire doesn’t have to population to support authentic Mexican/Brazilian/Latin fare.

Moved here from Colorado about five months ago -- we ate at our favorite Mexican restaurants every other night for a month in preparation! The food scene is pretty bleak here, there aren't even any proper Mexican grocery stores.

I've been trying to up my game around the kitchen though, studying a lot of recipes and techniques online to bring back some of our favorites. Making your own tortillas is half the battle. Once you've mastered those, any dish you prepare that incorporates them is instantly elevated.

Variety of reasons. Everything I wanted to do was or was quickly becoming illegal. Cost of living nuts. High taxes that were used against me. High business costs. Filing sales tax crap 4x a year was enough to cause cancer.

San Diego is the crown jewel of CA. Leaving the armpit where you are at will be a modest improvement.

The impression I get is Manchester's just dumpy overall. Not like a big city where you have entire neighborhoods that you just don't go in for safety reasons.

I mean, looking for housing, it's probably important to ask what parts are sketchier, but just walking around exploring, I don't think it's a situation where you desperately need to avoid areas.
