Tacos con carne asada were excellent. Cold cheap Pacifico, made the experience perfect. Great, welcoming service. Staff clearly knew guests, giving the place a sense of community. Great setting for casual, affordable Mexican food. read more

Consuelo's Taqueria - Pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Last night before the Creed concert, my group and I noticed a restaurant that looked amazing, and we mentioned that we should check it out. As we walked in, my cousin's wife said she needed to use the restroom quickly. Almost immediately, someone who appeared to be the owner or an employee yelled across the room, "HEY, ARE YOU A CUSTOMER? NO? THEN GET OUT, YOU HAVE TO ASK!" I didn't even have the chance to respond, and it was an extremely embarrassing moment. My group was so uncomfortable that they decided to leave right away. It's unfortunate, because we were genuinely interested in dining there. A more respectful approach would have gone a long way. Sadly, due to the way we were spoken to, I cannot see myself supporting this business. I would look elsewhere in manchester for dining options major Jerk I can't imagine how he treats his staff . read more

The kitchen and register is hidden behind this hanging reclaimed window/lattice guard (sketch city) so I had to squat and squint to place my order. Carne asada Burrito took almost 15min. to appear in an incredible wrap filled with mushy flavorless rice, indistinguishable from the flavorless bean. And on my last bite I found 4 chewy shreds of a gray beef product (?) I would have felt more content paying the $11 for a pristine glass of water. It's my 3rd attempt to get a decent burrito here. They have struck out... read more

Consuelo's is one of the best places for mexican cuisine! The tacos are authentic and delicious! The inside is beautiful and has an authentic feel. The service is welcoming and It is run by owner Martine who is a loyal member to the Manchester community. Consuelo's is a staple downtown so don't hesitate to stop by! read more

Very friendly staff and a very nice ambiance and the food was very fresh! I spent over 2 hours here with a few friends and we had a great time. read more

Not impressed. The burritos I got (fish and carne asada) have practically no flavor to them, and at $9.50 a burrito it's certainly not worth it. I got horchata as well which is decent but certainly not something to give praise to. When I walked in I was asked if I was dining in or taking out, to which I wasn't sure yet and that sure made the server upset. I was shown where the menus were and told to take a look. Not 3 minutes later the server practically demanded I order at that time. I went and sat down at a table to wait for what I ordered. Another family came in and the server asked me to get up from my seat so they can push the tables together, while there were two already open tables they could have used. It's tightly packed together and very hot inside the dining area, so over all, very unhappy I spent about $25 in there all together. Very much not worth trying to find parking and all that.

Do not eat here!! Not only did they serve me rotten chicken in the taquitos, they committed fraud by adding 5.00 to my bill after I left ( saw it on my credit card statement) and refused to show me my bill showing the charges. When I asked to see it, was told the machine was broken so I was just shown the menu with the prices. And they charge for chips & salsa ( was offered when we sat down, but they charged 4,00). Just horrific. I should report them for fraudulent credit card charge. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! Definitely will be back soon. Service was good. Crowded night. Very satisfied.

The service and ambiance is great. But the food is not. The tacos were flavorless and meat seemed to be cooked and left out for days. The worst thing is, they messed up our order and brought fish tacos instead of beef , and tried to convince us that we ordered fish. Once resolved they took the fish tacos, which looked like rotten batterered fish, and brought beef. But once the bill came they charged us for fish and beef tacos. After trying to get it off saying the order was wrong, they said well you ordered fish and beef, which we did not. We asked to take the fish tacos to go then since we got charged for them, but they said no. Very bad business practices! And again, food is not even close to authentic Mexican food, or any other edible food, that we know and love in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City. Hope they get their act together because it would be a great place due to ambiance and location. read more

The food is always great! The service is fast, and the staff are always warm and welcoming.

Attentive service, good food, and a nice atmosphere create a nice place to enjoy a meal. I had the chips and salsa and 3 chicken tacos. All are made there, a scratch kitchen. Fresh ingredients just taste better. I had bottled water, a nice selection of beers, and a full bar - I want to go back for Margheritas! read more

Vegetarian Torta Deliciosa! Recently returned to NH from SoCal, so I have tried a lot of Mexican Tortas... This torta was ! Veg torta is not even on the menu but I just asked, "Can I get a veggie torta?" I was told that it's not on the menu and that the cook hasn't made one before. But he went to work in the kitchen and made a veggie torta anyway If you're vegetarian and you think that meat is mandatory in most Mexican plates, don't be afraid to ask and ask nicely. This was my first visit since they opened 15 yrs ago, and I was satisfied. Will be returning to try more. Btw, los tres Hermanos y dueños son buen hombres. Sorry I didn't take more pics. Next time! read more

Started our night at a cute little place across from the Rex called Consuelo's Taquera. I thought my food was delicious ( that's my big burrito) and the Sangria was just sweet enough for me! Arthur (his nickname as I couldn't pronounce correctly) was such a wonderful host and accommodated all 13 of us! I can't wait to go back! read more

If only the food and service was as good as the ambiance and space are. Sadly, they are not. My burrito was OK, but I was given literally two chips on the side. At that point, why bother. The service is ponderously slow and you can tell that they are understaffed. Place has tons of potential were it better staffed. Ambiance - 4 Food - 2 Service -2 read more

Food, service, and ambiance are all spot on. Highly recommend. Already ate food so bad picture read more

Honestly was surprised at how many great reviews this place had . The meat was extremely oily and lackluster in flavor/texture . Tried to get the kids some basic style tacos but ended up with just a hard rolled corn tortillas meat only . The next 24 hours my stomach didn't sit right either . Again was def bumming because I had high expectations for this establishment ! read more

Food was great and the staff is very friendly. Definitely worth checking out! I don't get a chance to get there too often but I am always pleased when I do. read more

I had wanted to go to this place for a long time. Sorely disappointed. I got the beef tacos. They were so watery it made my taco shell break. I have never had beef taste like that. Not sure if it was fresh or what was up with it. Service was painfully slow even though there was a few people working and we were the only ones there. I won't go back. read more

The customer service here is terrible. I came here with my friend and for the first time in my life have witnessed explicit discrimination. I never write reviews, but this incident was so shocking and sad that I had to write one. My friend is black, and I am a light-skinned Latina, and I never thought this information was relevant until now. This waiter was horrible! He, for one, was impatient from the start and would leave before getting the whole order and talked over us a lot. Then when my friend had told him she said she didn't want salsa on her nachos, he angrily responded with "No you didn't! You have to read the menu!" To make matters worse, he then continued to be passive-aggressive by completely ignoring my friend, keeping his back towards her, and acting exceptionally friendly to me. He came over and asked me to try all these different salsas without acknowledging my friend at all! He continued to ask me questions of where I was from and when I commented in Spanish on how I didn't like the way he was treating my friend his excuse was "it's because she doesn't like anything" while still keeping his back towards her like she didn't exist! This experience was appalling, to say the least. This man was an ignorant racist, and I feel sorry for people with this mentality. I hope my friend never has to experience this again! This waiter should be fired and the worst part is I don't even know his name. Needless to say, I didn't leave a tip and feel like we shouldn't have paid for that meal! read more

We stopped in Manchester on our way home from Montreal and we decided to give this Taqueria a try. The tacos were delicious. I got one Al Pastor and one with Carne Asada. The Asada was just delicious. They have a salsa bar, where you can pick any of three salsas. I was partial to the green spicy salsa. My BF got the Quesadilla al pastor and he also LOVED it... The staff is friendly and the place is clean and close to downtown. A must try if you are looking for good tacos in Manchester. read more

I was happy to finally get to Consuelo's after it being on my bookmark list for way too long now. It was lunchtime, a stopped in for a pork burrito, my usual choice. The place was busy, with most of the tables full. I got the pork verde burrito, which totally under whelmed me. The burrito literally was falling apart as I slowly unwrapped the foil. The flavors did not pop, rice, bean, pork, salsa it just did not come together both in flavor and physically. I thought it was great that they had beer and wine (Mexican imports, more than just Corona too!). Solid 2.5 stars. I think I may be spoiled by Tacos Lupita and Anna's. read more

Such authentic Mexican food with welcoming and personal service. Despite not being on the menu, graciously prepared for us vegetarian enchiladas. The chile pepper on margarita glass rim a great touch. Highly recommended read more

Everyone sees your usual Americanized over proceed Mexican food, this is not at all that place. Beyond what I expected, traditional style tacos and filling burritos with delicious seasoned rice, this has now become my new favorite place to go when I have a need for a taco. Additionally the staff were sincere and attentive, and the prices were the opposite of outrageous, truly the best authentic Mexican I've had in New Hampshire read more

Wow! Let me say I've had a handful of authentic Mexican food from restaurants but this one truly hits number one for us! The rice! The meats! The beans! Everything hits the spot on with flavor, price and outstanding customer service! The selection for lunch specials is very open, pretty much anything you want is on the menu! I love this place! Highly recommended! read more

Food and drinks were excellent ! The service was friendly and very good! Definitely recommend.

Excellent authentic Mexican food, my family and I had a great time, Arturo is an amazing guy and dedicated to his customers, best prices, we're excited to come back, highly recommend A1!!! We drove from Rochester read more

Looking for a good Mexican food restaurant and this one was perfect! As someone from Southern California, I didn't know what to expect from a New England place... but definitely worth it. They said the chicken was seasoned well and my mouth was on fire.... but it was really good. Too spicy for me... but as you see, it didn't hinder the rating at all. GIVE THEM A SHOT! You won't be disappointed. read more

I tried this restaurant for I had read the reviews. What I wasn't ready for was the actual food. Owner was extremely friendly and it pains me to write this however others need to know. I ordered the chips and salsa with a side of guacamole. The guacamole came in a very tiny container, the salsa came in a nice size cup and the chips were slightly warm but a bit stale. I also ordered the chicken enchiladas. It came with rice, pinto beans and I ordered the green tomatillo sauce. What I wasn't ready for was that it was sour. Now I always speak up when food is bad however I felt guilty that I didn't like this man's food. I opened up one of the chicken enchiladas and found rotten chicken. I paid the bill and unfortunately I will not be back. read more

Very nice space, and I don't care about how long it takes to get food. Coming from California I do expect the food to be at least decent. Soft corn tortillas with onion and cilantro for their tacos is authentic. Got the tacos pastor and the fish tacos, my favorite. I don't recall, having them in Ensenada, Mexico, that fish tacos were supposed to burn your tastebuds. Whatever 'mild cream sauce' they used might have been infused with Scotch bonnet peppers, which made them painful to eat. And very little fish in them, mostly chopped red cabbage. The 'homemade' tamal was bland and hard, like frozen and then microwaved. The rice, as others have commented, was Uncle Ben's with some fake Sazon thrown on. Beans were out of a can with no flavor whatsoever. This could be a wonderful place with better management and care with the cooking. read more

Decent food- cool little hidden place with nice atmosphere- though the brightly lit serve-yourself soda machine/refigerator and cheap table number signs kinda kills what could otherwise almost pass for a classier sit down place and not just a "to go" burrito joint. Burritos were good- though the online menu you'll find seems like it has their prices from ten years ago. Also they you ask "Would you like a basket of chips and salsa?" and then charge $4.00 for it (when 90% of Mexican restaurant always give them complimentary- its basically a standard) its a little bit of a bummer and takes away from what would otherwise be a great first impression. Little things like that hurt a restaurant. I would go back, but I'd probably say "no" to the chips. My burrito also ended up being more than the menu said it was, by a few bucks. read more

Service was excellent, our server was very nice and attentive! Food was really good. We got a chorizo burrito and chicken enchiladas (verde) and both were fantastic. Lovely atmosphere will go again!:) read more

Wow! This place should be shut down. The food is terrible. Similar to warmed up old left overs. The people working there (two guys) were ignorant and rude. If you don't like your job, find a new one. The room is dark and uninviting. Don't use the toilet. Save your money. Go to the Mexican place down the street. read more

We had a late lunch at Consuelo's during Eats Week and ordered each of the two specials ($10 each): 1) Lupita's Pork in Red Chile Sauce, Rice, Refried Beans, Drink & Piece of Tres Leches cake 2) Mexico City Chicken Enchiladas, Rice, Refried Beans, Drink & Piece of Tres Leches cake This casual place is nicely decorated with bright yellow walls and wood table seating. It's an order at the counter place and they bring the food out. The menu offers basic Mexican fare for under $10. They charge extra for chips and salsa ($2.25). Cooler beverages include bottled Coke products, and Jarritos Mexican sodas. Coffee, tea, juices, bottled beer and wine coolers are available too. See the menu at http://www.consuelostaqueria.com/ The food was brought out to our table in under 10 minutes. The food portions were modest and not huge. However the food was hot and fresh and tasted DELISH with the refreshingly cold bottled Mexican sodas. The Tres Leches cake was sweet and refreshing with the 3 kinds of milk. While we were dining, the friendly staff even chatted with us to check up on the meal. Consuelo's gets a solid 4 stars. This place has potential and could be even better if they had a full liquor license and served margaritas, frozen drinks, and other cocktails. read more

The guys cooking on the line still call me Senor Leche, although I no longer bring Martine (the owner) farm fresh milk. This gives you an idea just how friendly Consuelo's is. The food is, as others have said, simple straightforward and good. Folks I know that know Mexican food tell me that Consuelo's is authentic. All the ingredients are fresh. The prices are reasonable. I've had every burrito on the menu, but my favorite is Burrito Carnitas. The pork is fall apart tender. Martine tells me he braises it with beer. I get the regular sized portion, the grande is too big for me. My kids like Silas Sandwich (quesadilla with chicken and cheese). read more
