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.

Save Your Money! – Do you like 10 dollar margaritas? Then this is the place for you! As for the food, my meat was fatty, dried out and rubbery. The salad was big and the lettuce was fresh but it lacked flavor as the dressing was nothing but an oil coating on the leaves. The rice was bone dry. The dipping sauces for the tortillas were pretty good though. Sat outside and were told we could not sit in the front, we had to sit on the side even though tables were available, THIS should have been a clue! The service is shoddy, whe... read more
For best customers only! – Having been seated near the noisy kitchen at a "4 top", I asked to be moved to one of the 3 empty booths near the front. The leader of three young hostesses, dressed in that avant-garde sultry black, told me that they could not do this. Those booths were reserved for their "best customers" who had made reservations. The fact that I was a walk in and waited 45 minutes does not qualify us for a best customer! Perhaps if I had stood outside and called them from my cell phone and reserved a table, I wo... read more
Pretty good food – The menu here is different than most Mexican places, and the food was good. We didn't think the price/value was very good. We had the guacamole, which was great (except there was too much to eat :) ) and a bunch of tapas. The plantains were great. The mango margarita was toxicly alcoholic, you could hardly taste mango. We were seated right away on a Friday night, without a reservation. We sat outside, which was alright, but it seemed sort of like a side street, which wasn't a great view. It is definitely w... read more
Colorful Santana Row Mexican restaurant mixes family-friendly atmosphere with the draw of a premium-tequila bar. – The Scene Vibrant primary colors are the backdrop for faux early 20th-century lanterns and painted pottery. The open kitchen is at the far end of the restaurant, while long rows of wooden tables and oversized booths host families, tourists and tequila enthusiasts--more than 50 varieties of the liquor are available. Conscientious waiters in silky guayaberas are timely and provide helpful assistance with ordering.... read more
authentic gourmet Mexican cuisine – Having lived in the southwest all my life and in Mexico City for 5 months, I was thrilled to find a restuarant which provided the pallette and tastes of the finest cooking found in Mexico. The dishes were tasty and authentic and the atmosphere joyful. Good job...
True Mexican food – Finally Mexican food that goes beyond Taco Bell Grande Supremo, Nacho Enchilado Don Paco, El Fish Taco Loco and Enchirrito Gordito Supreme... Across the board, this restaurant has done what no other restaurant has been able to accomplish. True complex Mexican flavors, textures, sauces and spices ensambled by Chef Alex Padilla for a wonderful dining experience. Las Aguas Frescas remind me of the nectars the Gods drank when thirsty and the margaritas and mojitos when they decided it was time to party. Keep ... read more
Excellent Mexican Cuisine – Finally there is an authenthic mexican restaurant in the Bay area. The food is excellent, some of my favorites are the sopes, the ceviche, tortilla soup, cactus salad...crepas con cajeta. Can't wait to try the bruch menu. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is really hipp!
A good disapointment – TThis restaraunt has a few good things going for it. Friendly staff and an interesting menu. The best thing that they do is a guacamole that's made tableside! You can choose how many and what kind of herbs and spices that you want in the mix! The problem for me was that although the table server was good and the spices plentiful, the avacado was unripe. That basically ruined the experience. The eye and psyche were pleased, but the taste buds were left wanting with the early avacodo. The only downside t... read more
Needs improvement – It's a shame that a prime location is being squandered. The service was flat, everyone seemed less than thrilled to be there. Few smiles and minimal information on the menu. The caesar salad was boring, the jicama salad oily and flavorless. The pork was fatty, but the Filet with chipotle was decent. The potato side dish had nice flavor but appeared to have been left out too long. We were never asked if we would like desert or coffee before being presented with the check. I would love to think that they we... read more
