Hi, fellow Manchestertonians .. this is your new taco joint. I was traveling from out of state and came across this gem. For starters, the chips and salsa are THE freshest you'll ever have. The chips smell and taste of fresh ground corn, reminiscent of corn tamales made back home. Can't even make that up! The salsa is fresh, vibrant, and has a smoky kick that you don't find in your "tex-mex" strip mall cafes. Now.. onto more important matters. The margarita I had is THE freshest I've had. I literally walked in the restaurant and the bartender was grinding down a box of limes in her juicer and delicately and intently pushing the pulp through the filter to get an extra zest into the jug of lime juice for all her orders that night. She also added a dash of oranges to give it a round citrusy flavor to complement the aged tequila quite well. I opted for an aged tequila called "Tres Generaciones" since I've never heard of it and it was amazing. I had the tacos al pastor with a side of rice and beans and everything was fantastic. Perfectly seasoned, charred, and fresh. You'll be hard-pressed to find anything coming out of a can at this joint. You're welcome, Manchester. read more

We stopped for lunch and it was delicious. The tamales and epanadas are a must order. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try! The service was also great. read more

Although the restaurant is smaller than what you would expect, the food and service are excellent. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. I used to prefer La Carretas but this restaurant may be my new spot for Mexican. Drink: I had the Hibiscus iced tea which was $2.50. Price was good and it was delicious. It was sweet (may be too sweet for some, but I like sweet drinks) and fruity. If you are not sure if you will like it, then try asking for a sample. Our server was very kind in providing a sample of the drink for us before having us place an order for it. Food: 1) Chips and salsa were given on the house 2) Guacomole is $4.00. A little bit on the pricier side for me but it definitely tasted good. There were chunks of avocado and it was seasoned well. 3) I love steak grandes burritos but did not see that option on the menu. Luckily, the server did not hesitate to accomadate me and gave me a steak grandes burrito and kept the price the same for $10. Definitely recommend. 4) Chicken Chimichanga for $10.00. This was their lunch special for the day. It is basically a fried burrito with chicken inside accompanied with rice and beans on the side. 5) Chicken Sopes are delicious and not bad for $8.50. They will require your fork and knife to eat but it is basically a fried tortilla layered with chicken, beans, avocado, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. I definitely recommend you try it if you have never had this before. Service: Awesome service. I haven't had good service like this in a long time. Server was kind, patient in explaining the menu, and he was willing to help you change the dishes to suit your palate. They also never let the salsa and chips run out. First time I had servers bring me a refill on salsa before I asked which is a plus. He even went above what I expected and held the door for us as we left. Also want to say good job to the kitchen staff as well because our food came out quick and was hot! Tips: After you come in to the restaurant, look to the left and you will see a sign that has the specials. They had empanadas for $2.00 as well. And try the hibiscus iced tea! read more

Discovered this gem during the length of the pandemic when everything was decidedly takeout or door dash. While this looks like a hole in the wall the food was generous in its's helpings, delicious, not bland in the slightest, and above all what i look for in a Mexican restaurant. Would say if you're on the fence thinking about it, take a educated gamble, give them a try. 9.5/10 read more

I'm from southern california and I take my Mexican food VERY seriously. That being said... this is easily one of the most legit Mexican restaurants I've been to and i'm surprised i found it in new hampshire of all places, haha. Their lengua (or tongue) tacos are excellent - incredibly juicy. The al pastor tacos were my favorite though. My girl got the chipotle chicken burrito which was also really good. I believe she got a mango margarita? Def one of the margaritas... which was massive and worth the price tag, she was buzzed for sure haha. If you're in the area and have yet to try authentic Mexican food then definitely head here. PS - there's an arena right next to it and so it can get very busy on weekends or if there's an event happening so plan accordingly! read more

Fantastic Mexican food! The chips and salsa have a great crunch and flavor. This time we tried a few new items and they were both delicious! The margaritas are also divine! We will be back again soon. read more

Perfect as a quick lunch spot! Very low key, casual vibes with a mix of tables/booths and a few TVs. Tacos seemed very authentic and the green salsa was FANTASTIC. Would definitely go back to try other dishes. Also, you can't pass up the Jarrita sodas! read more

Food was ok but since there has been a change in ownership recently the service has declined incredibly.

Food was so good and drinks were so delicious. Only giving 4 stars because there was no one supervising the servers who were on their phones the WHOLE time we were there, and one was sick and kept coughing into her hands the whole time and touching the bar fruit read more

What a delightful little place. Good food and great service. The food is fresh and plentiful. My hubby and I shared gauc - freshest I have ever had outside of Mexico. The grilled veggie enchilada and the sides were fantastic too. It's a busy place but the service was well attended. read more

Genuine mexican food in almost all manchester I've been eating there for years now and does not dissapoint.

Hands down, the BEST place for authentic Mexican food in Manchester. Coming from SoCal it was difficult not finding a place with delicious carne asada nachos but this place really delivered. The aguas frescas are delicious and so comforting as they remind me of home. I have told everyone I know about this place and they all love it as well!! read more

El Rincon Zacatecano - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Best Mexican food I've had anywhere hands down. Even better than Texas, New Mexico. A gem in Manchester.

Recently transplanting from Southern California, good Mexican food is one of the only things we miss. We have been to several, well recommended restaurants and none really hit the spot. Today we tried El Rincon and man I am glad we did. From the outside, it's a tiny, unassuming spot in a strip mall, but the inside is nice and the food is delicious. The salsa has a bit of heat and everything we ate was delicious. The service was excellent as well. I saw several people asked in the reviews if they had alcohol; yes, they have a full bar. The bartender was juicing limes for fresh margaritas while we were there. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Only one of the few places in New England to get real Mexican food. This ain't no LA or Texas or Chicago, but it's Mexican, they had tongue (only for tacos). The portions are generous and the food is pretty tasty. I tried the beef quesadilla and the chicken burrito. Both were tasty but the quesadilla was the best. This is a cute little spot to get lunch or dinner. If we weren't in a rush it would have been nice to relax and get a drink too. read more

Real authentic food, delicious. Enough said. Oh well, yelp won't let me say only that much so all I can say is the place was packed, there's a reason for it it's solid authentic Mexican food. I enjoyed it. read more

The food was great. The service was awfully slow. I think we had like 3 different waitresses and between all of them it took forever to get a drink and we were sitting for approximately 15 minutes before we got asked anything about the menu or placing an appetizer or even our food order. The food actually came out fast once it was entered. It was very tasty. We got the chicken burrito, chicken carnitas and chicken fajitas. They all were yummy. Would go back eventually but it wasn't overall the best Mexican, I'd prob go somewhere first before I venture back here read more

Authentic Mexican! We lived on the border and since moving back north have struggled to find authentic Mexican. Well THIS IS IT! Lacks curb appeal but super cute inside and fantastic food and drinks! Felt like we were right back in Acuña having dinner Give it a chance, you won't regret it. read more

El Rincon Zacatecano - Carne Asada Taco - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

THIS is the taste of Mexico! The food is amazing, the ambiance is exciting, and the staff is very friendly. I am visiting from California and wanted to get a taste of Mexican food in the East coast. To be honest, I wasn't expecting anything great. However this restaurant reminded me of what it's like to be in Mexico. The food is wonderful and worth the price. The decoratins they have remind me of my father and grandmother. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is local or visiting. A must visit in Manchester!!! read more

Can you say Molcajetes? Who cares....just order it and eat it! Meant for 2, but I like delicious challenges served in hot volcanic rock bowls. The margaritas are served stronk too. read more

Some gimmicky dishes/drinks but who can blame them. Their classic dishes are just really good. The chilaquiles with green sauce is top notch. read more

Solid taco experience. Plenty of food. Nice spicy hot sauce. Will pick up next time instead of delivery.

Consistency and food quality along with great service! I've enjoyed everything I've ordered here.

Without question, one of the biggest, baddest, and most flavorful burritos I've ever had. This thing is no joke! The green chile burrito is not to be missed! If you like bold, fresh flavors, huge portions, robust salsa, and a food challenge, then this is your jam. Wow, I can usually eat just about anything you put in front of me, but I met my match tonight...could not finish the green chile burrito. Loaded with carnitas, rice, beans, lettuce, and delicious green sauce, it was the perfect end to a long day. Although it's a bit pricey at $12.50, it's worth it!! read more

Meh. Got a burrito, it was average sadly. Service was good though. And the price was nice.

El Rincon has quickly become one of my new favorite little spots downtown. I had passed by the restaurant many times without even noticing it was there due to its quaint nature. A friend recommended we check it out. The inside is very small but friendly and inviting in both the kindness of the staff and the bright decor. The food was excellent and fairly priced and the margaritas even better! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this place, and I cannot recommend it enough. The service was great, the food was delicious, and I appreciated the special attention my toddler received (he loved the food too). I'm glad we stopped here for our dinner. I had the carnitas tacos, and they tasted fresh and the portions were generous. If you're visiting or staying at the hotel nearby, this is a place to check out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Can I give this place 11 stars? Best Mexican food we've had since we left Colorado. Posole was absolutely perfect as we're the tostadas. My wife loved the rellenos. Great salsa too. Very friendly staff. Definitely on our visit again and again list. read more

this, by far, is the most authentic mexican i've had since being in new hampshire . it was good and flavorful. i would definitely come back . read more

Terrible service! Server would walk by in a hurry and never make eye contact even though he only had two tables. Ordered queso as an ap but it didn't came out with our meals after a very long wait. Waiter claimed they had been out and needed to make a new batch. Would have been nice if he told us, we would have opted for something else. Queso was very salty. Again, couldn't get his attention to bring the check, when he finally did he gave it to my wife, I took it from him and gave him the credited card, when he finally came back he again gave it to my wife. Food was okay. Carne Asada tacos were very well seasoned, carnitas was bland, beans were very good but rice was tasteless. Won't be back. read more

Must Eat: Pastel De Tres leches dessert - there are different flavors, don't forget to take a look at the transparent plastic glasses in the fridge! This is one of the authentic Mexican restaurants in Manchester. Being beside Verizon Wireless is a huge plus for their business. First order of chips+salsa is complimentary. I used to like their chips better when they were thick (each chip was equivalent to size of 5 thinner chips). The thinner chips are good too but not as tastier as the thicker ones - can't complain about something which is free though. For drinks they have Horchata(traditional Mexican rice sweet water), Jamica(traditional Mexican iced tea) and some of the Mexican local drinks like Jarritos. Horchata is very sweet and it is served in a huge glass, I wasn't able to finish it - If you don't like sweet stuff, don't order this. Jamica is pretty sweet too but the flavor of it makes you forget about the excessive sweetness. They are accommodating to modify your order. If you are a vegetarian and like something in the menu, you can just ask to prepare it vegetarian. - Make sure you ask them if the vegetarian version tastes good! I like vegetarian tostadas, burrito is humongous. Found their other options to be delicious too. There is paid parking beside the restaurant in a parking lot. It can get pretty busy on Thursday and Friday afternoons, make sure you have enough time if you are planning for lunch. (Especially if you are in the middle of your work day!) read more

Authenticity at its best . Although weekends can be long wait for the seat and food.Good food and good margaritas.

My boyfriend and I were driving through the area and needed some lunch. It came up as Best Rated in Manchester, and as huge Mexican food fans we had to try it. IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! Authentic, charming atmosphere and fresh and fast food to top it off. The service we received was fantastic, which seems hard to find lately. The potions were hardy and we agreed that it was the best Mexican we have ever enjoyed. I wish I lived closer so I could go every week!!! read more

The food was amazing but this older lady had given my brother's food over to some other kid at another table, I would probably come here again, but I don't want to be seated at a table I didn't choose, compared to a table they reserved for no one, and the time I had eaten there, no one came along to take the table. I recommend this place if you are patient with bad service. Although the food is great. Service: 1 star Food: 5 stars Variety: 3 stars read more
