Review: Consuelo’s Mexican Restaurant (Fort Collins, CO)

This afternoon I had the pleasure of once again eating at Consuelo’s Mexican Restaurant here in Fort Collins. Consuelo’s is a well known local restaurant with a successful green chile & Enchilada Sauce side-business, as well as booming “breakfast burrito” sales. I have personally not had their bottled sauces or breakfast burritos, but I have eaten at the restaurant a number of times.

Today I ordered a “deluxe” beef, bean, and rice burrito - the deluxe choice means that it comes smothered in green chile (mild for me, I’m a wuss), topped with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and guacamole. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of my meal, so instead I have decided to supply you all with a picture I found on Google images that doesn’t really resemble my burrito, but you get the idea :) The burrito was very filling, presented well, and delicious. The green chile in particular was very tasty. Unfortunately, they didn’t put a whole lot of tomatoes on top, and the sour cream wasn’t the highest quality, but overall it was tasty and well assembled.

The atmosphere in Consuelo’s isn’t anything exciting or fancy, and I don’t expect a lot, but I would like to comment that it is unusually dark in this restaurant, making it feel a bit drab and gloomy. They could do with some individual table lights, or a better lighting scheme overall.

The service wasn’t exceptional, but the server did all she needed to do to make sure our meal was good. We weren’t offered dessert.
