The atmosphere, music and service is what impressed me the most with this wonderful restaurant! more on We8There

The guacamole prepared at our outdoor table was just right (they'll ask how spicy you want it). more on Yahoo! Travel

The carnitas was extremely tender and juicy, though it could've been seasoned better. more on Yahoo! Travel

Great food dishes, wonderful sauces. The guacamole prepared at our outdoor table was just right (they'll ask how spicy you want it). Main dishes: filet mignon was tasty; chile relleno was good but ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The filet was so tough and dry we thought it was the end piece of a roast. The chicken breasts in the pipan were extremely dry and tough. To add insult to injury, the chicken ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I love this place and miss it all the more now that I no longer live in California. Things start out with guacamole prepared at the table and served with warm fluffy corn tortillas. They go on to better things like the grilled fish ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This isn't your typical mexican or even spanish style retaurant...tapas....meaning small portions. I suggest just skipping the entrees and focusing on the appetizers. Especially the tableside Guacomole (spelling?) and Chiken Tostadas. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Although I tend to dislike spending too much time at santana row (as it gets insane on the weekends and parking is a nightmare) I must say that I love consuelo. The mojitos are my favourite thing to drink (sorry gin and tonics) these ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Have visited Consuelo a couple of times. With all restaurants sometimes it can be a hit or miss. On the whole everything we tried was good , appealed to most of our palates (nothing was intolerably sp ... more on TripAdvisor

Met here for a Girls Night Out and it was fun getting together, festive setting, quiet enough to catch up on stories. Ordered four appetizers and drinks, and the bill was over $150. Staff was friendly ... more on TripAdvisor

The service was excellent. Also, the food was both unique ( not the standard Tex-Mex) and excellent. Instead of chips, we had small, home-made tortillas to use with different dipping sauces which ... more on TripAdvisor

I never have high expectations for mexican food in northern California. Unfortunately Consuelo's lived down to my expectations. We went there because the restaraunt that we wanted to go to (Pizza Anti ... more on TripAdvisor

Went for breakfast/brunch .What a bomb! Horrible!!!! Service stinks you couldn't get the waiters attention if your life was dependent on it...food was cold and unappetizing...my wife practically cried when her small portion of food ... more on CitySearch

I went to Consuelos to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. They packed us into a corner where you had to virtually walk over chairs to squeeze in. The service was horrible. We asked to speak to a manager regarding the restaurant temperature ... more on CitySearch

I stick to my favorites, and here, it is the 'fresh fish' with green beans and truffle sauce. The fish is always perfect and I 'clean' the sauce off my plate. The mole chicken is too sweet, needs more flavor/spices. Improved greatly ... more on CitySearch

Having lived in the southwest all my life and in Mexico City for 5 months, I was thrilled to find a restuarant which provided the pallette and tastes of the finest cooking ... more on CitySearch
