    Albondigas soup  and a ground beef Taco
    Ronnie S.

    Confort Food! Where to go for my Favorite Mexican food restaurant that serves Albondigas soup (daily) El Rincon Bohemio is the place to go. And that's what I did! The folks who work there are Friendly and outgoing always a plus. The Food is the purpose of this Mission! The morning was Crisp yet warm enough to start with Chips and Salza along with a Beer the perfect start to my meal. Then comes my Entre. My Bowl of Albondigas soup along with a Crispy ground Beef Taco ! Exactly what I was going for. Thanks El Rincon Bohemio for providing me with the perfect meal for this day

    I love their albondigas soup, the service, and the ambiance. Very friendly. Feels like a neighborhood family owned restaurant. I am grateful they are here.

    I was recently feeling sick and had a craving for albóndiga soup. I found it here and it was so delicious! The broth was savory, the meatballs tender, and vegetables soft. This was such a comfort to me when I was in need of soup. I also appreciated that they gave me some flour tortillas to go with it, and they were still hot when I opened them. I will have to try more items from El Rincón Bohemio--everyone else's pictures look amazing!

    Ordene pozole con tostadas y eso incluye guacamole, me entregaron esto, de verdad creen que esto es comestible, llamamos para informar lo sucedido y se excusaron diciendo te lo dimos aparte, es de ayer e incluso se molestaron, la señora que trabaja ahí llamada Carmen o Carmela no se cual sea su real nombre dijo YA NO VENGAN!!! que diablos pasa con esto, ella no es la dueña del lugar, Si ellos saben que es de ayer porque lo sirven es más fácil decir no hay guacamole y prevenir enfermedades o incidentes como este. Realmente el peor lugar y por supuesto que no volveremos!

    One of the best and most authentic Mexican restaurants in Santa Barbara... a hidden gem! Indoor, outdoor, dine-in or takeout, From delicious crispy tacos ( my favorite) to pozole and everything in between. Enjoy!

    When it comes to choosing a place in town for the best menudo and pozole this is the place to come to! I've been here many times and ordered their enchiladas, and tacos combo plates which were just ok nothing mind blowing. Hence my reason for 3 stars. It can be hit or miss here depending on what you order. On my latest visit I specifically came to try the pozole because my boss was raving about it. Well El Rincon did not disappoint! Not only do they hook you up with the toppings, but they are very generous with the meat. Many places tend to be stingy when it comes to serving meat in soups, but not this place! The broth was very flavorful, and the meat was melt in your mouth delicious. I have yet to try the menudo but I will definitely come back for it since everyone raves about that too. The best part is they offer menudo and pozole everyday unlike other places where it's only weekends. *****Five stars for the pozole! Customer service here has always been good to me, and the ladies very kind. Parking is a little tight here but there is additional parking at the very end of the Plaza if you can't find one in front of the restaurant. Overall I'm happy this place serves up some delicious authentic pozole, and I can't wait to go back for more!

    Came here on a Saturday around 2 pm. We were planning to go to Los Agaves just a block away but…read morethey happened to be closed. Parking was very easy on the street and free. There was a line of people waiting. Took us a little over 30 minutes from getting in line, to ordering and receiving the food later. CASH ONLY. Their specials menu seems to change every day or so. We ordered a taco de hongo (sautéed mushrooms with epazote in a light cream sauce w/ 2 homemade corn tortillas), enchiladas de plaza (chicken breast, potato mushroom, red chile sauce, topped with cheese, chile pasilla strips, cream sauce, avocado and radish), a tamal norteño de puerco (pork tamal), #16 súper-rica especial (pork on 3 tortillas, a modelo, and a piña pepino agua fresca. All for around $63 without tip. They had a tomato salsa, salsa rojo, and salsa verde options. All were delicious. All of the food was excellent and super flavorful. I would say my favorite was definitely the tamal. So savory and the masa was the perfect texture. The pork tacos and mushroom taco were close behind, also delicious. The enchiladas were my least favorite. Still good but I just don't think I can be an enchiladas fan no matter how hard I try!! I just am not a fan of the texture of the tortillas when sauced up. Nevertheless, everything was finished up and nothing left behind. The agua fresca was also super good and refreshing. Very sweet and a little thick so we thinned it out a bit with some water. They have limited outdoor seating but a lot inside. A single bathroom right by the parking lot entrance. Nice and cute spot with hard workers. Would definitely come again!

    Hmmm..... Where to start!?!…read more It was cool watching all the cooks in the open kitchen, the staff looked happy and I was so impressed with the scale of business coming out of such a small kitchen. I did notice that workers were going back and forth to a house nextdoor picking up stuff-- cooked food, veggies and such... The restaurant itself is pretty cute-- open seating inside, nice outdoor seating. The older gent who took my order was sweet and kind. I was looking so forward to this place. But sadly, it simply wasn't worth the wait or cost. This is a picture the remaining portions---yes we ate most of it because we chose to not eat ANYTHING before getting there and the hungry anticipation took over--- we really tried to like the food, but it was just not great. #1 beef taco-- on the white plate--dry dry dry. No flavor. Just dried out beef jerky shavings on a tortilla. Didn't eat it. #18 Julia child's favorite --on Black plates- weird pork meat with crunchy peppers, and globs of melted cheese-- not great. Over-hyped. No flavor, no sauce, pork was soft, had no chew- it was strange. We had a special tamale item on the banana leaf. Chicken mole-- way too sweet, no sauce on top, and somehow it was super wet-- moist and too soft. We ordered a chili releno, but the guy didn't hear, so we didn't taste that-- I asked for some of the crema that comes with it and was charged 75¢ for a small 1oz portion-- tasted like hot cream. Watery and lacking body. No flavor. Cinnamon coffee was served in tiny cups-- super hot, no cream. Asked for cream-- and one of the guys said " no cream" was rude and wasn't interested in helping ---we only got one lid, so I mentioned that there is no way to carry scalding hot coffee with no lid-- someone finally brought the smallest amount of milk. Old coffee with cinnamon stick flavor-- not even good. Guacamole was really sad. Super whipped smooth shinny avocado with tons of pico in it. No citrus, no salt, just crunchy pico-- zero avocado chunks or flavor. The avocado is served on and with fresh tortillas -- the tortillas were great, but they are served with everything, so it felt like a waste. NO LIMES!! The salsas were decent. But NO LIMES!!! Negro Modelo especial beers were ice cold, refreshing and delicious-- the beers had limes. We paid $68 for the food and drinks- I left $10 for a tip. I don't really feel like this was authentic Mexican food at all. I am not sure what to call it. It seemed like it has been "gringo'ed" down-- no heat, no chiles, no spice, no flavor, no limes, no love. Glad I can mark this joint off the list.

The pulpo was perfectly cooked--tender with a great char and packed with flavor. The chicken mole was rich, balanced, and deeply satisfying, with that classic complex mole flavor that keeps you going back for another bite. What really stood out, though, was the service. It was phenomenal from start to finish--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The staff clearly care about the experience they're giving guests.

The food then came out 15 minutes later however one of the five items was the wrong entrée, and the rest of the items did not have.the right modifications. I believe the order wasn't put in at the time we ordered. We did not mention the modifications and were also missing a item that we did not tell the server about the second time around which is why I think the order wasn't placed originally:/ they did comp a dessert, but we were so full from the delicious food that we didn't eat it. Overall I would go. Back. Staff was friendly, and food was good, mistakes happen. Side note there was some "partying" happening in the restroom so if you go with your family don't let them go unattended.

I have no problem with paying a 20% tip but the service was poor on my visit. We gave one instructions/request that were just completely disregarded. Very little in terms of service other than attempts to upsell with more Tapas when we were done. Sorry, just being honest.
