    Tacos with three different proteins
    Rich D.

    This place was a pleasant surprise. The food was excellent. I loved the sliders (chicken and also BBQ pulled pork) and the Mac and cheese, tacos, and even the French fries were unbeatable.

    Seating area.

    It is super hard to find BBQ in New England that was actually smoked with attention to the type of wood used and it is obvious by the flavor in the chicken and pulled pork. My husband got pork and brisket. The chicken was smoked correctly as it was pink near the bone, and fell of the bone. I prefer my brisket in shreds but this was in slices which is fine. I wished they offered born ends but they do not. As a Southerner I treasure collards and creamed corn so I did not order them. I have been broken hearted too many times. But the potato salad was perfect as it had a slight mustard flavor to it and the cubes were the perfect texture. The coleslaw needed a bit more wetness and seasoning but it had a nice cabbage flavor and liked the style of the cut as it was not soggy. The Mac and cheese was good and perfect consistency of the creamy cheese and pasta. There are no bathrooms outside but there is outdoor seating -3 picnic tables which are first come first serve and 2 have sun umbrellas. They have coke products, flavored seltzer and juice. We ordered online and the food was ready as promised.

    Delicious brisket you can cut with a fork

    From the outside it appears to be a brick office building. But once you enter the decor will surprise you. Bright and clean tables and booths await your selection The delicious smell of barbecue immediately hits you upon ente. There is a full bar and local beers to choose from. Our group had brisket, ribs, tacos. ALL of it was delicious and fall apart tender. Sides we had coleslaw, fries, potato salad and yummy corn bread Just heard new owners as of May 1st. I hope the quality and delicious-ness will stay

    This should pull apart. Needed a knife.

    Been getting worse and worse over the last year. Chewy brisket that I would expect from a first time smoker, not an established bbq joint. watery nothing to write home about Mac n cheese, eh mashed and green beans. Corn bread still OK. The brisket really made me sad this time. I used to love it with the past owners. Probably my last time going here.

    Food was decent friendly staff. Gave it 3 stars just way too overpriced. Don't think I would go again just because of the prices.

    Yes!!! Finally a real BBQ joint! This place is great. Smoked food full of flavor with no need to drench it in sauce.

    We were in Manchester for the evening & were craving some Mexican food for dinner. I'm so glad we…read morefound El Rincon Zacatecano, they have some bomb food! We arrived about an hour before closing & had no issues getting a table for two. Shortly after receiving utensils and the menus, we were given complimentary chips & salsa! The salsa was tasty & has a nice kick to it. I found it very additive to eat with the chips. We ended up ordering these dishes to try: - empanadas (chicken, beef, & pork) - quesabirrias; Birria tacos w/ consommé + rice & beans - Birria quesadilla w/ consommé + rice + salad OMG, everything tasted AMAZING! All of our dishes came PIPING hot, including the consommé dips for the Birria tacos and quesadilla. The quesabirrias were my favorite & star of the show for me. They were perfectly crispy, seasoned well, & I also loved how light (yet still flavorful) the consommé was! This came with rice & beans and let me tell you... I normally don't even eat refried beans but I couldn't help myself today because I find that refried beans can be too thick & sometimes burnt. This was not the case today though! Also paired super well with the rice & a little lime. The Birria quesadilla was yummy. It was loaded with lots of meat & cheese. Great portion sizes! For our appetizer, we ordered one of each empanada protein option they had: one chicken, one beef, and one pork. I didn't have a favorite empanada because honestly they were all really tasty! Full of flavor & came loaded with cheese. I will definitely be back again the next time I'm in Manchester, NH! Service was wonderful, restaurant was clean, & food was perfect. Highly recommend trying El Rincon Zacatecano if you find yourself in the area ;)
