The food was good and staff was excellent. I was looking for a much bigger establishment. This is a small spot, a bar with a few stools and several tables. Don't let that deter you. The food was made to order. I had the Carne Asada Tacos they were delicious. 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

The best authentic and affordable food in all of Manchester! I'd warn you not to go after 8. My friends and I went at 8:15 on 9 PM closing night and were rushed. I love their food so I'm basing my stars on the food. The service is not good. In this economy, you'd think they'd welcome customers instead of trying to turn them away 45 minutes before closing. So again, my 5 stars is based only on the wonderful food they serve! read more

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

Fantastic! This place is the real deal. Truly reminiscent of the old country. Last Mexican food that I had that was this good was in Puerta Vallarta. The waitress was super cute and so we stayed for another marg. read more

My wife and I went here for dinner based on Yelp reviews. The place looks like a hole in the wall from the outside--but what you get is authentic Mexican food. The fajitas and burrito were terrific. The guacamole was chunky and fresh and delicious. And best of all the margarita I had was made with fresh lime, not a mix and was...perfect! There was a Mexican Rodeo show on tv that was fascinating. We talked to the owner about the town in Mexico he grew up in. Great guy. Great place. Highly recommended! read more

We had a fabulous time at this restaurant. We met the owner who is adorable. Dishes ordered included shrimp fajitas, burrito bowl and enchiladas. The drinks were a huge hit! read more

The food was well seasoned and the portion size was more than generous in terms of what it cost. The tortilla chips were definitely made in-house and served with salsa (needs some seasoning or something is missing as it didn't quite pair with the fantastic chips). I tried their chimichanga and the sampling tray which was delighted with fresh ingredients. My family tried the burritos and was very pleased with the dishes. Atmosphere suits the cuisine as the place is well decorated. They did have a full bar setup but unfortunately I didnt get to try their drinks but I would stop in for the authentic food and pair with a drink if I am in the area again. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant we have found in NH, since moving here from Austin, TX. Unfortunately, we haven't been since COVID, as we live too far outside Manchester for decent takeout. Once we feel comfortable dining in again, we will be back. read more

El Rincon Zacatecano - Carnitas tacos Rice Refried Beans - Mexican Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Phenomenal Mexican food. Good by standards but especially good for New England. I ordered the shrimp chimichanga that had fresh shrimp and was perfectly fried and garnished with sauces. My wife ordered the gorditas with 3 different meats: chicken, pastor, and carne asada which were kind of like mini sandwiches/arepas. Definitely will be coming back next time we're in Manchester. read more

I am addicted to El Rincon!!! The food is amazing. The service is great. Seriously the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico! What more can I say? Well, I'm not short on words of praise, so I won't stop there. I first tried El Rincon two weeks ago at the suggestion of some friends who knew my fondness for authentic Mexican food. Since then, I've been back twice... and have told pretty much everyone I know about it! The food is freshly prepared and oh-so-good. The guacamole is to die for, and the tamales and beef tostadas - even better! My husband has tried the tacos tradicionales (asada and al pastor) and raves about them as well. Our friends tried the sopes, the quesadillas and the burrito with similar feedback - everything is great! And of course, BYOB is a nice touch - we packed a cooler with the fixings for margaritas and mixed them right at the table! I am counting down the minutes til my next visit - aw heck, I think I'll go tomorrow! read more

I have been searching for really good Mexican food for a long time. And every time I go to one where the reviews say it is "the best" or "authentic", I am sorely disappointed. I have only had one other place I thought was amazing and that one is in Michigan! I have never found a great Mexican place that I considered to be truly authentic, as opposed to watered down to American taste. Until now... We decided to try this place on Yelp reviews. It is a tiny place across from the SNHU area, in the middle of a criss-cross of concrete roads, near the highway. You walk in and you are greeted by the staff, maybe the owner, who are fully Mexican. Imagine that. The clientele was also seemingly hispanic as well as non-hispanic. We were brought warm chips and salsa. After a while, I was asked if I wanted something spicier. They brought a bowl of more salsa and another bowl of spicier salsa. Delicious. They refilled the chip basket when it was empty. We ordered the homemade guac to start. Appropriate ratio of chunky and smooth, cilantro, some onions and a barely a hint of tomato - no peel and no seeds. YUM! There were three of us and we each ordered a different fish. The Burrito with Chili Verde came with a salad of lettuce and dreamy dressing. The pork was tender and melted in my mouth. Basically it was HUGE and could have been split between two people. I have to say that it was probably the best burrito I have had and yes, I do love Anna's. And yes, this was better. We also ordered the Gorditos, Mexican sandwiches in handmade tortilla "bread" which were like mini pockets about 5 inches in diameter, great chew texture with a little crackle around the edges. It was filled with steak and also came with a salad and some rice. The steak was tender, and cut into small strips. Very flavorful. I felt that the tortilla was a little oily but it gave the overall gordito a nice flavor. Another order was the Fish tacos which came with a seasoned mayo, and a side of rice. The rice was perfectly seasoned. There were 3 fish tacos. The Tilapia was lightly breaded - maybe floured and fried. The it was tender, moist and literally melted in your mouth. As with all of the dishes, the protein was the star of the dish. There was not an over abundance of filling like lettuce, and pico, and all of that. The fish amount was quite substantial. The whole thing was amazing. There is beer, and a lot of interesting Mexican soft drinks. I live about an hour away and I would make the drive to go here again. I highly recommend this place. It is everything I have heard about - authentic, the best, and the closest to Mexico from this side of the border! read more

Good, solid Mexican food, in a great location if you're going to the Verizon Center. I thought that it could be a little more authentic. I came away with a good meal, but kind of got a feeling of, "Oh, this could be so terrific". Not sure why, to be honest. Nice people here. read more

the chili verde and chipolte sauce were too bitter for me and no heat to them. The fish tacos were bland and fried. No flavor as well as the tacos. I heard this is typical Southern Mexican. No jalapenos . The food was good but not my kind of Mexican. read more

Great food decent service! I'd enjoy some new choices every once in a while, we've been going for a while and it gets a tad bit boring.

We were in Manchester to visit friends and found this little taqueria. We are very happy we did. I had the tacos traditionales with tongue and a tamal cacero with pork and red sauce. My wife had tacos doratos with chicken. The entrees with excellent. The tamal cacero was one of the best tamales I have ever had. In fact, I could see me making a meal out of three of them if I was around here more. The location is small but intimate and the homemade tortilla chips with tomatillo salsa they started us off with were excellent. As far as value, the prices are low and the portions are adequate. In general I was very pleased with our choice or lunch. read more

The only authentic Mexican food and Tex-Mex in downtown Manchester. Going anywhere else is just a waste of your time. They make a hell of a margarita-- having lived in Texas, I don't make that statement lightly. read more

No where to park and very slow and rude staff. If you want to pay for parking and pay for over priced mediocre food then order here, your local supermarket has better food, for me the food tasted like it was microwaved. I wouldn't go back read more

I love this place soo much! The food is Amazing. I'm really a picky person about seasonings and the way food is cooked. This place is clean, has a really nice relaxed atmosphere and great personable staff. Fantastic customer service and great drinks. I love that they make their drinks with real real juice. Overall I Will continue to go there as well as recommend them. read more

This place is great. Ordered the guacamole, fajitas and tacos. Fajitas and the chicken taco were excellent, especially with guacamole on top. Service was outstanding. The restaurant was very clean and the food was fresh and flavorful without being loaded with salt. Will definitely return! read more

We love this place. It's small but the service and food are excellent. We usually start with the queso fundido con chorizo, which is stellar. Gooey cheese with a flavor bomb of chorizo tucked in. My husband had the El Rincon margarita and it was delicious. The salt & spice rim was definitely spicy and the candy straw of tamarind was delicious and a good contrast to the spice. The horchata and jamaica and Sidral are a favorite of ours...we get them almost every time. We've tried the tacos, the pozole, gorditas, guisada verde, and molcajete and it's all authentic and super tasty. Best of all, we leave with a full belly, didn't break the bank and feel like the staff are like friends! read more

Unbelievable!!! Delicious authentic food made with love and care!!! Look no further this is the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico! Delicious Tamales!!! Everything I have tried has been incredible! read more

Sigh.... I was so excited ans hopeful. The flavors were wonderful, however my chicken burrito had no chicken. My hubby's shrimp dish that was supposed to come with tortillas did not come with them. So another takeout gone south. Sort of. read more

First time eating there. Food is very good and the prices are very good. Good quantity of food. Will definitely be going back.

El Rincon is my favorite Mexican restaurant and probably my favorite restaurant overall! I've never had a bad meal and I have been upwards of 10-12 times (at least). My favorite meal is the El Rincon burrito. Some of my other favorites are the Taco Salad and enchiladas. Im very picky about rice and beans and theirs never disappoints! Their portions are very generous and are made quickly. Their margaritas are also wonderful. I would highly recommend their Jamaican margaritas, which they make fresh at the bar. If you haven't gone yet, what are you doing?!?! read more

Stumbled upon this place with my boyfriend a couple nights ago, and was blown away. I live in California and have traveled all over the U.S. and this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. The chicken chimichanga was amazing!! So good, we went back the next day! Also the fried cheesecake dessert was amazing! There was only one server, but she was incredibly sweet and patient even though she was so busy. See you again! Thank you for the meals! read more

Like others said, don't be fooled by the store front. Cozy little Mexican joint, with some fantastic margaritas. Also loved the carnitas, and the home made salsa was amazing! Definitely my favorite Mexican spot. read more

Not impressed by the food at all. The salsa was watery and the queso tasted like it had just been poured out of the cheese whiz jar

This place is AUTHENTIC MEXICAN. WOW! Hands down one of the best around...try it you will not be disappointed!!!!

I've been there over a dozen times. The tacos remind me of the street carts from my time in Mexico. The quality and flavor, specifically. That's a really good thing, btw. It is also very convenient if you are planning on going to the SNHU Arena for an event. Smaller operation but I'd wait 15 minutes for a table no problem. read more

El Rincon started slow for me years ago when I used to live in Manchester . It was at that time second tier in comparison to Consuelos which is just a few blocks north of it. It however has steadily improved to the point of being the jewel it is today. Better than the La Caretta like restaurants that have flooded the Mexican food corner in ths area. Absolutely the best guac. Whether you are getting chicken or Pastor or beef, the meat is seasoned to the point of being tasty without being overpowering. An added bonus is a margarita worthy of praise.. something the El Rodeos and La Carettas do well themselves. The chicken filling comes in two varieties and chorizo, missing from many menus around here is available. Prices are most reasonable, the decor colorful and the staff is friendly . It sits across the street from the oft renamed stadium and is in walking distance from most anywhere downtown. read more

Very disappointing to say the least. Went with my wife and kids been there before it was good but this night the owner was there.I am in the restaurant industry and never seen what I saw tonight .We arrived at 5 pm ordered 2 rounds of Margaritas apps and entrees 6:00 the owner came to us and said we had to leave because she had people waiting.She literally stood there and waited as we paid the check.I had to leave my Margarita as we were being rushed out. For almost 200 dollars you would of thought you would at least be able to finish your drink.Just want to make people aware of what this place is like. (side note) server xochitl was great. read more

They have excellent food, excellent service, whether you dine in or takeout. Their chips and salsa is amazing. They have the best margaritas in the city of Manchester. read more
