It’s About Flavor
Manchester has always had a big appetite — for hard work, for community, and for bold flavors. Shorty’s has been proud to feed that appetite for more than 25 years, right here in New Hampshire’s largest city. Our Bicentennial Drive location has become a go-to gathering spot for Manchester families, after-work crews, and anyone who knows that great Tex-Mex starts with great ingredients.
What sets us apart is simple: we don’t cut corners. Every salsa, sauce, and dressing is made in-house. Every piece of fish, beef, and chicken is hand-cut fresh daily. We’ve earned plenty of awards for Best Mexican Restaurant in New Hampshire over the years, but the recognition we care most about comes from our Manchester regulars — the guests who keep coming back because they know the food is always going to be outstanding.
Manchester keeps growing and changing, and so do we. We’re constantly testing new dishes, refining old favorites, and asking ourselves how we can make every plate even better. Whether you’re stopping in before a show, grabbing lunch near the airport, or making it a Friday night tradition, Shorty’s Manchester is where the flavor never gets old. We love our Manchester guests, and we’re having a lot of fun feeding them!
