    Had another solid meal at this gem this past weekend.

    Lunch special: chicken tamale, rice and black beans for 6.75. Unlimited chips and house-made salsas. A couple of dos equis. Perfect Saturday.

    Okay, so I have to qualify "as good as it gets" -- I'm a recent transplant from Tucson, Arizona, so my ratings for Mexican cuisine will be skewed -- BUT considering that we are in Maine, this place is as good as it gets. I tend to order vegetarian dishes -- and have found that the fajitas, enchiladas, and chile rellenos are all great. Even tho the wait can sometimes take awhile, I appreciate how kind and helpful the wait staff are (accommodating special requests; making margaritas less sweet; and finding specific salsas/hot sauces). The green cilantro salsa and chipotle salsas are phenomenal, and the hot sauces (for sale) are excellent. In fact, we're ordering a selection of Jalisco Hot Blueberry salsa for our friends back home (no, it's not blueberry-like in a gross sort of way; it's perfect).

    Thank you, Buen Apetito for making the transition to Maine that much easier.

    It's 5:15 and we're all a little bit hungry. We've been running around all day, toting people to Sunday River so that they can ride their bikes to Belfast for the trek across Maine and we're now starving, so we decide to grab an early dinner. We arrive at Buen Appetito at about 5:30 and the line is out the door! Ha ha, that isn't saying much, there is only a small waiting area inside the door, but still its 5:30 and all the tables are full! I guess I'm in Maine, I shouldn't be too surprised.

    Anyways, the service is exactly what I want - there when I need them, gone when I don't. The food is great; the chips and salsa were perfect to wet my appetite before . Its not extravagant, its pretty simple, actually. I got the beef chimichanga and it was very filling - enough for two people really. Its one of the most consistently good restaurants in the greater waterville area.
