A new restaurant has taken over the former Rusted Rooster space that was also Abode Bar & Bistro for a brief time. Uno Mas Cantina has officially opened to the public and changed the turnkey space into a Mexican restaurant.

It’s a big change for Andover who probably will remember that space as a coffee shop.
Inside though, the layout is basically the same as its predecessors. There’s a bar on the south end of the building and a more casual dining space at the north end.
We stopped by on day one and started with an assortment of starters that included complimentary chips & salsa, but we also had the guacamole. They did bring us some queso accidentally but just left it at our table even though we let them know we didn’t order it.
The salsa, guacamole and queso were all good little starters that kept us happy during our wait. We also loved how the chips came out fresh and warm. The only downside was there was the occasional chip that wasn’t cooked all the way through and was very flimsy and floppy.
For lunch, we had the enchiladas, tacos, burritos and taquitos. Most of the meals came with sides of beans and fideo. Rice wasn’t an option that day as they were out of it.
I had the smothered burrito with pork. To be honest, I was expecting the pork to be inside the burrito, but Uno Mas Cantina’s take had it on top and around it. Meanwhile, it was stuffed with beans inside.
Flavor-wise, it was a pretty standard burrito; nothing underwhelming but also nothing to write home about. There were two options, the gordo and the pequeno which were in reference to the size. I had the gordo and the pork-to-everything else in the burrito ratio was pretty small.
Thumbs up to the fideo, though. I love fideo and wish more places had it.
Final Thoughts on Uno Mas Cantina
With it being opening weekend, there were definitely many kinks to work through. If you go, have a little patience as the service and food times were a little slow. You could tell it was likely some servers first time on the job.
One thing we would like to see is a little more explanation of the menu. For example, we were curious what was in the taquito and burritos. Was it pork? Was it chicken? Our server also didn’t know but having it on the menu would save a lot of time and questions.
The first visit was pretty lukewarm but it’ll be interesting to see how much better everything gets with time. We typically make it out to Andover every few months so we will stop back by later to give a revisited review.
