Good atmosphere, good drinks, ok food

Since the dining area at Consuelo was totally packed when we got here, we ended up sitting at the long bar. The bartenders were all very friendly and helpful, and promptly answered all the questions we had about the menu.

I was impressed with Consuelo’s substantial drink list, and I would definitely come back here to try some of the ones I missed this time.

Less impressive was the food, which I felt was pretty spotty. Read my dish reviews for more detail.

Dishes I tried:

Ceviche de pescado

Really flavorful ceviche with white fish, but came in a small portion.

Pechuga rellena de huitlacoche

When I read the description of this dish I was salivating over the idea of the stuffed chicken breast, but what actually ended up impressing me about this was the accompanying vegetables with the garlic sauce.

The chicken itself was way too tough and overcooked, in my opinion. I won’t be getting this next time.

YUM but on the pricey side. Mango Mojito was the best I’ve ever had – strong but very tasty. their flavor of the day agua frescas was really good too, had the melon flavor frescas…really refreshing. Guacamole was made right in front of you to your liking, served with steamy hot corn tortillas instead of greasy fried chips. Tried the filet mignon, seared scallops, and chile relleno. All were delicioso. Only downside was the restaurant was pretty dark and on the noisy side. But overall, i loved the food.
