    4 tacos for 12 euros.  that's 3 euros a pop!
    Sharon E.

    Again, i'm grading this on a Barcelona scale, which gets stars for some effort, but would really be a messicant in LA Decor: it had some of the requisite elements that make this restaurant feel like a beachside cantina. the mexican/spanish tiles, brightly colored sidewalk tables, red, white & green paper flags strung across the ceiling... food: my friend got the nachos (9,50 euros ???!!!???) he was served a plate of tortilla chips, and a bowl that was half melted velveeta, half some sort of jarred tomato sauce trying to be a salsa. with a couple of sliced jalapenos on top. The description however said cheddar cheese... this was not cheddar cheese. DO NOT ORDER NACHOS HERE! at $9 it would be a rip-off... but we're talking euros... so for about $13 he got a plate of tortilla chips, velveeta, and not even rosarito brand salsa from a jar. blech! I ordered a plate of 4 tacos. (12 euros). the plate did come with a salad. and despite my request for no cheese or crema in any of my tacos, the 2 slices of corn on the cob were topped with some type of dairy (eye roll). I also got a tiny little cup of black beans, and a tiny cup of pico de gallo (both of which should have been included in the nachos for that price). The meats were fine, but that taco plate, for about $16? no way. overpriced for what it was. Service: When we went in to pay, we saw there were all of the extra salsa bottles, stored on a table. I'd have totally added the spicy verde sauce to my tacos - but upon dropping off our plates, our server promptly rushed off. so not only did we not get asked if we wanted/needed anything, we had to go inside to pay. Service - not that great in general, but we're in spain. I'm not sure what the recommended dishes are, but if they can't get the basics right, what can they do right? 1 star for attempting mexican food 1 star for decor 1 star for, uh... hmmm... there are 3 stars... what's the 3rd for? hmmm... i know there must be something else, but i'm drawing a blank now. It's not for the EPA... oops? (thanks to Rick Perry) oh - and one more strange thing... the ladies bathroom was full of little gnats/ flies... ewwww. I should really downgrade this to a 2 star review but i'm feeling generous right now.

    Fantastic food. I have been many times and I love the beer with margaritas ice cube. The place is in the heart of Gràcia .

    Pros: deco, food presentations, portions. Cons: food didn't taste as it looks, food over priced. The tostada de ceviche Verde taste funny. The tostada de pollo, chicken taste like tuna. Guacamole taste like nothing.

    Sifrina Arepa - Chicken, freshly shredded cheese, Venezuela style guacamole and fried sweet…read moreplantains all stuffed into a thin homemade sandwich pita. Here, the "buns" of the arepas are dyed colored coded to go with the specific mix you order. Sifrina = bright magenta pink sandwich pocket. Pretty freaking sweet! Wanted to point out Venezuela has its own unique version of guacamole, affectionately called Guasacaca. El Rincon carries on this tradition, and I'm so glad I was able to experience it. I met the owner, one of the very few workers that spoke English, and he explained the make up of this tasty condiment - onion, cilantro, green pepper, salt, garlic, avocado, a little bit of olive oil, and vinegar. EXCELLENT atop my arepa! The entire sandwich melded perfectly, sweet, salty and savory in every bite. The owner gentleman did a great job checking in, the service was fast and efficient, and I never felt rushed. I was really digging the vibe of this eatery, as it seemed to be a true neighborhood spot. All the locals inside, none of the touristy appeal. I recommend if you like Venezuelan food to give this restaurant a try!

    Not recommend. A small bottle of water €2. A asado negro, which is pretty much a small slice of…read moremeat, some rice and two fried plantains, which charged me €18??? Robbery much? Not even mention the taste is just so basic. Either they charge the tourist different price or someone need to change the price scale in this place.
