Ixtapa in the Fox Run Mall in Portsmouth, suggested by another poster, IS run by real mexicans. Their chile verde is excellent; the best I've had in years.
On the other hand, I had two bad experiences, two months apart, at Las Pinatas in Laconia, about 8 years ago, and have not been back since. Both times the food was WAY over salted; the second time so much so that I couldn't even eat the entree (and I was HUNGRY). However, some people appear to really like this place so I've been planning to try them one more time. I guess it is possible that I hit the two worst items on the menu, or the two worst days of the year, or something like that. I'll let you know if and when I give them a third try.
