Horrible place! My husband and I went last night. We got there around 7, sat down and someone took our drink order 10 mins later. It took a good 10 mins to get our drinks (which were wrong), then our waitress tells us " are you ready to order we close in a few minutes". There weren't any signs that the restaurant was closing at 8 for NYE. We order then our waitress disappears. We have to get up to find her to let her know our drinks were out. Food arrives and enchilada plate was cold and the cheese was hard, my food was ok noting great. Again our waitress disappeared and I had to take his plate up front to get heated. We ate our food, paid and left. We will never go back here and I will tell everyone to stay away as well read more

No Thank you I will stick to El Camino Real food has always been good there. Father was a Chef I Know what good Mexican food taste like.

I've been here many times and the food is always great! Many of the people that go here are regulars so it's always nice seeing a familiar face. It's always a go-to restaurant when we want something tasty and affordable. It's a very casual, relaxed environment. read more

El Rincon is an inexpensive hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. The food is good Mexican home cooking. The queso is a bit on the bland side and the rice and beans are just ok but everything is pretty decent and tasty and the portions are big. The margaritas are good and not weak which I like. I had the chips and queso, the puffy taco plate and 2 margaritas all for just 23$ before tip. I find the service, at least so far, to be decent. So yes, will be back. read more

Delicious food for a great price. Can't beat the Tuesday night enchilada special! Service is always good. Family owned and run restaurant. Our favorite. read more

I like the enchiladas at this place, so I decided to stop by and pick some up for lunch today. I called and placed an order to go and was told it would be about 10 minutes. I arrived about 15-20 minutes later, and they had not even begun to make my food. Instead, they made it after I arrived, and right in front of me. The lady behind the counter grabbed 2 premade enchiladas from somewhere under the counter with her hands. I can only hope there was some type of refrigerator under there. She then placed the enchiladas in a Styrofoam to-go container, covered them with some sauce and some cheese and put the whole thing in the microwave for 2 minutes. Really? The container was half melted by the time it came out! I really cannot believe this is how they prepare their food. If they are going to microwave their food, at least do it on a plate before and then slide the enchiladas into a to go container. Melted Styro-foam isn't what I want to eat for lunch. I understand that tons of restaurants use microwaves, but I don't ever see it, nor do I get half melted to go containers. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be calling in any more to go orders. Super disappointed with this place. read more

Service is HORRIBLE!!! Went with a large party and was over charged. Upon checking out the "manager" argued with us over the charges. He was very aggressive and rude! After yelling at us about the food that we didn't eat he pulled $20 from the register and slammed it on the table! The food was not good. Place is dirty and I will never go back. read more

I went to eat there with my family and it was terrible the food seemed days old the restaurant was dirty and even the dishes and silverware were dirty. I will not be visiting there ever again. read more

I heard several people say that they eat here often and that it was good. Apparently they have never eaten REAL Mexican food before. Our waiter, Martin, was pleasant. Service was slow. The hostess (or whatever you want to call her) was very rude and almost knocked me over because she didn't want to take 3 extra steps to go around me while I'm in line waiting to pay. Chile con queso is NOT supposed to be a soup. Everything was canned or frozen except the veggies, that were the only thing fresh. The place was dingy, dirty and ceiling was filthy. The picture next to our table had something on it, maybe dried up food splatter that had turned green. 15 years in the restaurant business, I know the difference between "Made from scratch" and "NOT" read more

I Absolutely Love El Rincon Great Food for Cheap, Good Service, and Strong drinks. I have been coming here for over 5 years and one of the main reasons is the food is consistent and flavorful. I recommend trying the Menudo and/or the Homemade Flour Tortillas as they are Super Delicious! read more

I work in Pville eating out is no longer an option for Mexican food! El Rincon is by far the worst! RUDE RUDE RUDE owner & wait staff. The over HEATED pre made food is horrible. I have experienced this more than once but never again, I refuse to ever return! You truly have to be aggressive to be waited on. This place...NO MAS for me!!! read more

I found a. Coca Cola top in my queso all the manager said was sorry I won't charge you for that.... Lost our business for good

I really like this place. The food was good and service was friendly and fast.

I'm never going back here for breakfast. 20 minutes for breakfast tacos. I said no onions. There were onion. I asked for cheese and they brought the cheese 10 minutes later on a sode plate, cold. The tacos were cold. The meat was cold and hard on the el pastor. The barbacoa was cold and very wattery and bland. The service is slow and unfriendly. The check had no numbers on it. You don't even know what the final bill is until you go to the register and wait in line to pay. read more

I have been to El Rincon several times on Friday with an order of 20 breakfast tacos. Every time I go in there they treat me with disrespect. The new cashier lady (2 months or so) doesn't care that my money is her paycheck. She got a phone call during the middle of my check out, and left the cash register to go talk on her cell. I wanted 10 minutes for her to come back. When she came back she had so much to tell the cooks while they were heating everything up in the microwave, that it took her another 2 minutes to actually give me my change. Then my boss wanted lunch from there today so I called in something for us. I went up there 20 minutes later, because it was suppose to take 20 minutes, and they hadn't even started preparing it. Well don't worry. I only waited about 2 minutes. Just long enough for them to heat in up in the microwave in a styrofoam to-go box, and throw it in a bag. I also ordered chips and salsa, and she told me it was in the bag. When I checked in front of her she was pissed. That's when I realized there was no chips and salsa. I asked her why I didn't have it, and she said she forgot. Then it took her 5 minutes to make up a cup of salsa, and hand me a premade bag of chips. Now I go to Mama Jacks for our weekly breakfast tacos, and get so much for a cheaper price. read more

I moved to the area about a year ago and have frequented El Rincon at least once or twice a month. I guess that qualifies me as a regular. The menu is hit or miss but the crispy beef tacos are superb and the salsa is good too. They've apparently won awards for their green salsa version but you have to ask for it and a lot of the time, it's not available. Sadly, about 50% of the time I go there, the service is abysmal. I have to seat myself because when I walk in, either nobody is manning the front of the house, or people who appear to be doing nothing, simply ignore me. I always go by myself, with my newspaper, and I get the feeling that the wait staff aren't too keen on serving an individual, maybe because they think they won't get a decent tip. In my case, that is far from true, I always tip at least 40-50% of my bill and never less than $3, usually $4 and sometimes, when I actually get decent service, I tip $5 on a $10 meal (including drink). I've often seen tables of four or five get up and leave less tip than I do, on what is obviously a much higher bill. I usually don't mind but the last time I went there, the young waitress (whom I had tipped well on several other occasions) totally ignored me. It was not during a rush period. I waited for what I thought was a suitable period of time, several minutes, and then walked out into the lobby area to see if I could get a menu. That usually prompts SOMEONE to come to the table and at least take my drink order. The young waitress was standing at the front table in the lobby wiping down a menu. I approached her and asked nicely, with a smile on my face, if I could have a menu. She handed me the one she was wiping down and smiled and said, "Oh, Sorry." So I went back to my table and waited, and waited, and waited and waited. Finally, out of sheer embarrassment, the young man who was bussing tables and sweeping the floor, looked out toward the lobby and started calling the young woman's name. After two attempts to get her to come and serve me, he walked out into the lobby area and spoke to her. I know this because I could hear him and I speak Spanish. Then he came back into the dining area and starting cleaning tables again and still, she refused to come to my table and provide me with service. By this time, I had been sitting at the table for about ten minutes. He then, in exasperation, walked back out to where she was standing, still wiping down menus, and asked her again to come and serve me. By this time, I was done. As he came back into the dining area, I was putting on my coat and picking up my purse. He said, "I'm sorry lady, I'm sorry." I said, "I'm leaving" and thanked him. As I walked out the door, right past the young waitress, she snickered in my general direction as she continued to wipe down a menu. She had deliberately ignored me for ten minutes. I've had a lot of bad service over the years but this behavior was pretty shocking to me. My advice to you is never to go there alone and never to expect any kind of decent service. This waitress clearly felt that she could behave in this manner, with impunity and given the number of times I've had terrible service at El Rincon, it seems to be a systemic problem. If you go there, you're taking your chances. It made me feel pretty sad because I really like the tacos, but it's just not worth being treated like a piece of garbage by a teenager. read more
