    Margarita with Centenario tequila, the good stuff!
    Gabby B.

    Mexican food! Finally! Yes! So my hometown is Zacatecas, Mexico and I couldn't believe there was a restaurant in New Hampshire named after my hometown! So of course I had to try it! The restaurant is super cute and quaint with a nice bar. They have a huge margarita menu which is overwhelming so I had to ask which one was the most popular one and got that one. The menu looked good but I was really craving tacos so I order some tacos Al Pastor which came with a side of beans and rice. My boyfriend got one of their meat platters which also looked good. The tacos were very good! The tortillas especially stood out because they tasted legit! The rice and beans also tasted authentic so I was very satisfied with my choice. My boyfriends meat dish was very tasty and he was kind enough to share a few bites. My margarita was huge and tasted very strong but I was ok with that. The nice waitress made sure we were taken care, she was very attentive. What a great find! I can't wait to come back! Both our entrees were very good

    El Rincon Zacatecano bar area!

    My friend and I met here for lunch. First time for each of us. Inside is very clean and wonderfully decorated! The server working was super friendly, fast, and helpful without being intrusive. We arrived as they opened at 11am. There is a good amount of comfortable seating inside. The chips and salsa are complimentary and house made! The salsa is a wee bit spicy- just enough to be enjoyable, not salty, and very fresh! The cups are unsalted which I love! We both drank water. Our server was excellent at keeping our glasses filled! I had the Veracruz plate which includes grilled shrimp, zucchini, summer squash, onions, mushrooms, rice, and black beans. You can specify a corn or flour tortilla. I don't recall what my friend ordered. We haven't seen each other in a bit and we're also hungry so chatting and eating causes me to forget to photograph her meal. She said it was great! I love that they are on both DoorDash and GrubHub so I can order from them and eat at home if I want to stay in. I want to come back to try some house specials, and a margarita! Thank you El Rincon Zacatecano! I'll be back!!

    Grilled shrimp

    Authentic Mexican food with fresh ingredients. The grilled fish tacos were delicious! Loved the big margaritas with lots of variations available. Service is excellent!

    Chori Pollo Tacos
    Joe S.

    This place is small and kind of uninviting from the outside, so you know what that means? Yep, some killer tacos! Hole in the wall places are the best, right? And who thought one of my favorite dishes (choripollo) could be made into a taco? Are you as suprised as me that it's not common to see that? Who doesn't love chicken and chorizo together? (Can I ask any more questions in this review?) Would I go back? Is the pope Catholic?

    Tacos Borrachos
    Dan S.

    Great service, cozy seats, convenient to the SNHU center. We arrived early to find a sticky table and dirty floor. We ordered a horchata which tasted like it was from a mix. The tacos borrachos were decent and they were generous with the portion. The bistec meat quality was poor. The meat was hard and dry. We left most of it over. Their chips are good but the salsa is boring. No spice!! Their "hot" house sauce, by request only, is terrible and they don't have any other hot sauces to choose from. This is a great place to go before an event. Expect the typical Mexican food adjusted for the American palate.

    Food is very good. Very clean, quiet and nice atmosphere. I got the chori pollo. The chicken very well cooked and flavorful. The queso and chorizo is super good too. I recommend parking on the other side of the street and walking over, parking in Manchester is limited. The service is very good.

    Came here around an hour before closing on a Friday night, it was fully packed!! Seems like a popular place and was lively. I almost wished we had eaten in but bringing it to the hotel and ordering take out was what we needed after a long day. We ordered three fully meals, a couple guacs on the side, and a few empanadas. In total it cost 70$ with a tip. The beef empanada was delicious! The food was all good, not authentic Mexican food but definitely did the trick since we were so tired and hungry. The only reason I took off a star was because I had thought the food would automatically come with chips and salsa. Was a little disappointed when we opened the box, that we did have any chips especially for the cost and tip we left. They also didn't include any silverware or napkins which was rather inconvenient as we had to hunt it down in the hotel. Overall, 3.5/5 stars

    Enchiladas mole
    Al W.

    Great Mexican in downtown Manchester! Searching yelp and noticed that El Rincon featured a mole enchilada dish. I had to try it. The enchiladas were good and would have been a 5 star review but needed some more mole sauce. Luckily I had asked for additional Also ordered side of flour tortillas. Small but believe they homemade as they were delicious! I will go out of my way to stop here again when driving through Manchester. Per picture I ordered takeout.

    We've now been here a multiple times, and it is consistently outstanding. The food is authentic, you couldn't get homemade family style Mexican food growing up in NH. We lived in NM a year and ate tons of Mexican, New Mexican, and Baja style foods all the time. This last time we came for Margaritas and a snack before my mom received an award across the street. The service is on point and friendly. So many restaurants have gone downhill the last 3 years, but many have excelled-great job! Another time we took my mother in law here on the way back from an airport run to pick us up. She loved the empanadas, and guacamole we do too, they also have excellent enchiladas, and the Al Pastor is delicious, and had them on nachos last time. I would say most everything is delicious. They have vegetarian options too! If you like spice be sure to ask for the house made extra spicy hot sauce.

    Enchiladas

    We decided to try this place because of the reviews and from the outside, we were unsure what it would be like. However, upon entering, we were welcomed into a cozy restaurant with beautiful decor and pleasant servers. We immediately were sat down with warm chips and fresh salsa. Having heard about the spicy salsa, I asked for it and it actually packed a punch! I have a pretty high spice tolerance and never feel the heat from most restaurants' spiciest salsas, but this one very pleasantly surprised me! Highly recommend if you like spicy food. The beans and the rice were so delicious. I kept going back for more even after getting full. The enchiladas were scrumptious as well. They were so accommodating for our vegetarian diet, and it was a delight to have more than cheese in the vegetarian enchiladas. The veggies inside were fresh and crunchy. The churros were warm, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside and they were perfect with the chocolate. Finally, Brenda was the sweetest!! What a genuinely warm and kind person. She was so attentive, easy to talk to, and a true light. I will definitely be coming back for more.

    Where is the closest parking?

    Your best bet is on the street. We haven't had any issue even when an event going on in area.

    I have read mixed comments regarding alcohol. What do they offer? Is it BYOB? Most importantly, are there margaritas? We're going this Saturday (4/29/2017) - so information asap would be helpful. Thank you!

    They have a full bar and make margaritas

That settled it; we had to try it. Out of sheer excitement or exhaustion, we forgot to make a reservation. I quickly remembered this mistake as we entered Hooked. People filled every table and seat at the bar. I looked at my bestie with great concern because we were anticipating our first meal of the day. The hostess welcomed us warmly, and then she asked the dreadful question, "Do y'all have a reservation?" We sadly said no, and she immediately began to express regret. Maybe it was the "Grad2026" headband or the disappointment on our faces that caused her to have pity on us because she told us to wait one second. The hostess walked to the bar, then she went to the main seating area, lastly she went next door where there's additional seating. She returned with a smile and motioned for us to follow her. The hostess found us seats at the bar! We ordered, chatted with the locals, and ate a delicious meal. We even made room for dessert which we learned was made by the owner, the hostess! Whenever we visit New Hampshire again, we're definitely stopping by Hooked!

I was heart broken but it was my own undoing as I djdnt make a reservation. Just as I was opening yelp to find another place to try she came and got me from outside as a spot opened up! That's service! And I won't forget it. All the staff was very kind and she checked in with me several times during my meal to make sure it was going well. The ambiance is a little noisy but it's a raw bar that has sports on. The food is delicious. I could have eaten the Cippino forever! The broth was a complex delicious and perfectly spiced tomato base. The seafood was plentiful and large sized. I have never seen shrimp so big! I also ate oysters and had an amazing home made peaches and cream cheese cake. Listen I don't really like cheese cake but I could eat that cake everyday for the rest of my life. Everything from start to finish once I sat down. Was delicious and the staff was very kind. This food was fired fresh in the kitchen. I could see if from my bar seat. So if it took a little bit it was worth it! I'd eat here the next time I'm in Manchester 10/10
