The food was good, there were lots of options. Drink menu was long too. Staff was super friendly.

Loved this. Hiked nearby and came here for a refuel. The burrito was delicious and so was the pozole. Everything was delicious. The burrito was massive and perfect. Service was friendly. Took a little bit to get the food but nothing too much. Will definitely be back. read more

Amazing Happy Hour! We were driving back to Denver from tubing and traffic was going to be horrific so we decided to stop in here hoping for a happy hour. Oh yes there is! Dinner for me was $11 with 2 glasses of wine an enchilada and a crispy taco. The "rose" was white zin. :-/ but I could trade out for another wine and get it to go. You can't split the buy one get one. Each person has to get their own. The house margs were strong, but if I was in a blind taste test, I would not guess it was a marg. I love spicy food and asked what was spicy. He said they have a habenero salsa I asked for that and then asked how the green chili soup was. He brought me a taster...oh I was so happy!! We got some to go as well as the habenero salsa! The Tamale was delicious. Lots of meat and the green chile was so good. It has a bit of fresh lime and a nice kick. I was worried because of the 3.4 stars, but we were happy we crossed by El Rincon, we would definitely come back!! I might just order beer next tIme. read more

Had an awesome time at Rincon Cocina y Tequila! Came in with my buddies to watch some college football and crush a few Happy Dads, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Big shoutout to Eric the bartender and Hector for taking great care of us the whole night. Super fun atmosphere, great service, and they made hosting a big group feel easy. We'll definitely be back! read more

El Rincon Cocina Y Tequila - 10/10 experience! - Tacos Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Terrible food. We order like 5 different plates and everything was just horrible as well as my non-alcholic michelada.

I ordered takeout as I was craving a cheese enchilada. I found the to be tasty, cheesy (and the cheese was melted!) and just what I needed as I recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and this was the best option! We go here pretty regularly and the staff is super friendly (it's fun to see my husband's former students here) and the food has improved with a new menu. Though I do miss the shrimp and mushroom burrito. It can be loud but it's not unbearable and some spaces are quieter than others and they try to accommodate us when they can. I was so hungry I forgot to take pics but I'm will get them when I go back. read more

Their menus have black sharpie covering a "parties of 8 or more must pay together", their house margarita is not on the menu however they openly advertise "BOGO house margs" on their website and signs, and there was an automatic %25 gratuity for a server who came to our table a total of 2 times. A complete scam of a restaurant and the way they try to hide their forced gratuity is plain shameful. read more

Great taco Tuesday deals. Great service. Love the atmosphere. Went with a group of 10 and had a great time.

The food was delicious. The servers were friendly. It was quiet enough to carry on a conversation. Prices were a good val

Fantastic service and great food!! They have the most amazing chili verde enchiladas! My guy said that the salsa was more like taco sauce, which he finished off on his burrito, very good! Loved the Mayan calendar right inside the door!! read more

Good enchiladas, $5 house margaritas. Great location close to campus. Good Mexican vibe.

This place is amazing . I've been a bunch of times and it always hits the spot. The tacos are super flavorful and loaded up and the chips and salsa come out fast. It is an absolute must go to . The whole place has a fun energy, especially on weekends--perfect for pre-gaming or just hanging out with friends. Honestly, if you're in Boulder and want good food and a good time, Rincón is the move. read more

I tried to confirm my reservation that I made online and the man (not gentleman) that answered was EXTREMELY RUDE! He even hung up on me!!! Obviously not going now! read more

great taco tuesdays? no it's AMAZING taco tuesdays! extra points for the silly young college students making out in the booths haha! i do wish it had some sort of dance floor but that staff was nice so i can't complain! read more

Nice wait staff and very prompt. Great happy hour and not chincy with servings. I appreciate this place. Unpretentious.

This place used to be great but now the service is terrible! Food is pretty good but very very expensive for what you're actually getting. We used to come here a lot but now it takes 2.5 hours to leave because of how slow the servers are. They made us wait 50 minutes to put in a food order last night when it wasn't even busy. read more

If you are a college kid in a group of friends, great place to go. However, the prices are absurd, the service is on the slower side, the atmosphere is okay, and the food is good. Some lights are out in the back room. They refuse to split checks. If you are not a student, probably not the Mexican restaurant to go to. read more

Sat on the patio by myself, but the inside seemed pleasant and not too loud. The salsa was good, although a little on the hot side for my taste. I you are a fan of Mexican food, I'm sure I'll be fine for you. The non-alcoholic pina colada could have used a lot more "piña ". Watery and frankly, tasteless. The steak fajita burrito came swimming in a sea of sauce, which makes the tortilla soggy; I highly dislike that. I like a crunchy bell better like most people, but I believe the filling should have been cooked more throughly as the meat was hard and so were the peppers. Not what I expected. Didn't taste like fajitas at all. Staff was fast and attentive so I left a decent tip although I wasn't happy with the food. read more

This place has been good but not consistent. I had a really bad experience today. So I had to update my review. It took them a 1/2 hour to just take my drink order to start and they weren't very busy either. The chips they served today tasted stale and the guac served had hardly any avocado and a funny taste to it like no salt or lime and had too many onions in it also was a little brown in color. The waiter who looked like he just rolled out of bed had a very bad attitude and became angry and argumentative when I told him my concerns. We decided to leave before getting entrees because there were just too many bad vibes here today. Maybe they are having an off day but I won't be coming here again because it was a colossal waste of my valuable time and the whole thing was unacceptable. Seems like they just stopped trying it's unfortunate. read more

El Rincon Cocina Y Tequila - Breakfast burrito. Good choice - Tacos Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Had not been to Rincon Del Sol, and went on a whim, hoping to find another good Mexican restaurant in Boulder. They tried hard, but it just didn't happen. The restaurant is bigger than you'd think, and they have their own parking lot. Service was pretty good, and their restrooms are clean with a changing table in the men's room, a nice touch. But both my and my daughter's meal were disappointing. Too much ice in our drinks. The tortillas fell apart. The rice was hard. Refried beans were bland. My chimichanga was mediocre at best, didn't have any topping. On top of it all, their prices were higher than I am used of paying in Boulder, so I expected a better product. The staff was kind and friendly, but sadly, their food product was not up to my expectations. I hope it was a bad day, but I won't return, as there are much better options here. read more

Screwed up our bill. Service is not great. Took 20 minutes to get margaritas. Built in gratuity into the bill because the service is so poor. read more

Went this weekend; If I could put no stars I would the waiter was nice, but food took for ever to be serviced. We order a torts de milanesa that was a flat tasteless piece of meat! Their was absolutely nothing good on that torta except maybe the tomato! I ordered a Chile relleno soft and really had no flavor either needed salt the cheese in wasn't even cheese it was like rubbery. The icing on top was when asked if we would like a box for the torta that was only bitten into waiter asked if we just didn't like it because was barely touched. We hate complaining but he asked for us to be honest so we were. He said he'd take card of. Instead he bring the bill and does address it or apologize nothing.... what was he going to take care of we still got charged for it and he didn't offer us anything even though he said he'd take care of it! Bathroom doesn't flush & door doesn't close on one stall so gross! Need major upgrading their their employees all sitting on butt rather then taking care customers.! Will never go back read more

Gas pack. Never seen anything like it. Once in a lifetime experience. Legit the most boulder ass food i ever had at any restaurant!

Great place to take a large group, we showed up with 8 for brunch and had no wait to be seated. The food was astonishingly authentic and the portions were huge. read more

El Rincon Cocina Y Tequila - two sandwiches in a box - Tacos Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Great service, great food but please take this off.....(sign that says: "if you are here with more than 5 people we will only do ONE check") The server needs to accommodate the customer! I mean if you're doing this because of gratuity, then do charge gratuity but don't make it hard for the customers to pay especially when you're in a big party! My friends and I almost left because "the manager" wouldn't want to split our check but the server was reasonably enough to do such simply task! read more

Went to dinner with group of 8. Restaurant was maybe half full. 30 minutes for someone to take dri k orders. Over an hour for food orders. Four or five staff members were standing directly behind us talking and laughing while ignoring g us. When the food came out 3 people had wrong orders and two people had no order. When we complained waiter said we needed to better clarify WTH? Terrible service bad food ridiculous staff. Never going back. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Delicious meal, great service. I'm picky with pastor tacos and these are the best I've had in a while. We also got the pollo con chipotle and spinach enchiladas and both were excellent. This place is authentic and will definitely be back next time I visit the city. read more

Delicious!! Very fresh. My burrito wasn't a wet mess like you get at someplaces. Perfect.

Pretty accurate reviews. We all got a wide range of dishes.. all of it subpar from tacos to enchiladas to really odd Chile rellano cheese, guacamole from Costco, overpriced.. nice waitstaff though. Place is really dirty looking. read more

My partner and I walked a long stroll along Boulder creek and jumped on Arapaho to make our way back to our car and stumbled upon this little Mexican restaurant. It looked busy and the people leaving looked happy (it was then first Broncos preseason game). When we got back to our car this place stuck in my head, so we went back to check it out for dinner. I loved the little patio area where you can sit with your dog. It was kind of late, probably about 8:50pm so there were only a few other diners left in the restaurant. We were seated and brought chips and salsa (ask for the spicy salsa) but I think we were forgotten about for a while. We flagged someone down to bring us drinks and he asked if we had been served and took our order. We ordered a 32oz margarita and a couple of waters for our drinks. Drinks came, Yay! On to our order, we ordered an order of ceviche (onion on the side) to start, a steak taco platter and a combination platter with a chicken chimichanga and a chili rellenos for our meals. As we waited for our food our waters sat empty. Food arrives! All the food, together. The ceviche had onions mixed in so I sent it back, and requested they remove it because we would have liked it before our meals. Our waters were still empty. We flagged a waitress down that was cleaning off tables to fill our waters, bring us a to go box and to bring us our check. We didn't see our waiter until he popped back around to clear our plates. Super terrible service, actually unacceptable service. The food was pretty good, not authentic though more like Three Margaritas if you're looking for a comparison. Overall, service is huge for us and we won't be returning based on service alone. read more

Wanted to post an update as the brevity of my initial review does no real justice. This is one of my guilty pleasures, coming into Boulder, CO Besides the good food and comfy sit down atmosphere, the genuine warmth of the people working here is a real nice change from the cold sterility of many establishments on the mall. Largely, why I go here instead... That and the peach daiquiris! read more

The happy hour beef tacos were greasy and tasteless! The chicken was very dry and the corn tortillas fell apart. I was very disappointed and so was my daughter who normally loves tacos! I had to put lime on my chicken and it was still bone dry. The lady said they close at 8pm so maybe there was no effort made -staff was friendly and food came out very fast! But there was literally grease dripping off our beef tacos! read more
