About this business
Consuelo Mexican Bistro recalls Mexico City of the early 1900s. In addition to an excellent traditional Mexican cuisine (served in a small plate format), Consuelo has a full Latino drink bar. The homemade guacamole is really worth a try. Another fine offering is the Agua Frescas, which is flavored water in mango or strawberry - the perfect cooler for hot days or hot nights. The place is a part of the Santana Row and it's quite the local hit when it comes to Mexican dishes and cocktails; reservations are strongly recommended.

4 start restaurant gone bad... – I am so disappointed with Consuelos. This restaurant had excellent food and service for a few years, even when they were packed inside and out with customers. Now, the last three times I have gone (my rule of thumb is 3 chances before I don't go to a place anymore), each time there was plenty of wait staff and less than 5 occupied tables. We (my wife and I) waited almost 15 minutes after being seated to get a menu, then another 10 or more to get our drinks, and then 45 YES, 45 minutes to get ... read more
Avoid this restaurant. – The food is mediocre and overpriced. The staff was ok, could have been more attentive considering the price. The management and attention to customer service is among the worst I've ever seen We never actually had a desire to go to this restaurant and the only reason we did tonight was because we had a gift certificate. The Restaurant appears nice enough, well furnished, nice looking bar, decent wait staff. The first thing you notice is that there are no chips served. Only soft tortillas and 3 differ... read more
CUCARACHAS!!!!!!!! – I so wanted to go my husband didnt because its not good mexican food. The only good thing is drinks, appetizers and desserts. when i got my dessert I looked to the wall and saw a COCROACH! walking up the wall. I nearly wanted to scream And sat at the very corner of my seating looking for a worker or someone. they offered free food. But we are not here for free bees was our response. my husband told me to look under the table there were dirty greasy reading glasses and another cuaracha I should have yelle... read more
Surprisingly bad and they don't even care.. – What a surprise to find out that everyone wears a coat inside the restaurant because the front door is drafty and they have the top windows open. The salsa dishes don't even fit on the plate, the silverwear doesn't match, you have to ask to have sweetner for the ice tea and a match for the candle. The place is so dark you can't read the menu. There are no chips for the salsa just tortia's and when you order your food, like Carnita's, all you get is a bowl of pork, nothing else, n... read more
Authentic Mexican Food in a lovely setting – My boyfriend and I dropped in on a Saturday afternoon and were seated outside right away. The tortillas instead of chips was different but good. We knew right away the food would be good when we tasted the salsas they brought. You can order your beer with a flair, which means it comes in a salt rimmed glass with lemon juice and ice. I found it to be very refreshing. I was hesitant about the "tapas style" but loved it in the end. The food was amazing. I am use to authentic mexican ... read more
Service ok, guacamole pretty good, plantains mmmmm! – We were able to get a list minute reservation on Open Table. This place is located in the hip new area of San Jose and you definitely get some good people watching if you ogtain a coveted outside table. We started with the tableside guacamole ? mmmmm? And Sangria for me. It was a pretty tasty beverage and I think I might have been able to thoroughly enjoy a pitchers worth with ease! Next hubby and I split the chicken Pipan - Chicken in a delicious green mole made with pum... read more
the high cuisine of Mexican food – I've been here at least five times, have always left happy. I would go more often but it's pretty damned expensive, $12 margaritas for example. Too bad it's on Santana Row. The fresh guacamole made at the table is great. The tortillas are the best I've had outside of Mexico, I imagine a little old lady in the back making them by hand. I always get the Carnitas. If you've never had nopales (cactus) you should definitely try it, it's like a mild bell pepper flavor and it blends well with the ... read more
horrible service and management – I went to Consuelos to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. They packed us into a corner where you had to virtually walk over chairs to squeeze in. The service was horrible. We asked to speak to a manager regarding the restaurant temperature and just got a lot of rude responses. My toddler was walking around our table since we had been waiting for our food for nearly 45minutes. I was told by the manager that she is NOT to get out of the booster chair. If you are a parent, you understand how ho... read more
This place is horrible!! – My friend and I dined here the other night after going to the movies at Santana Row. This place has some of the worst "Mexican" food ever. Most taquerias are better than this place! The sangria was the only thing that tasted good. Almost everything else was either very common or very flavorless. And what exactly are they trying to do? I've never seen a place that offers tapas AND antojitos. If they want to make this a tapas-style restaurant, then all the food should be served that way. Our service ... read more
