    Combo #5. Beef burrito and chili relleno.
    Conni M.

    We went for a late lunch so parking was easy. (Although south Market Street was bumper to bumper.) I was so surprised by the "happy" decor and furniture. The lights above the booths were made with sombreros- charming. I had a basic Margarita and it was nicely balanced. The salsa with the chips was very hot so we asked if they had a milder salsa and they did. We split a #5 Combo that had a shredded beef burrito and a chili relleno. It was served with refried beans (delicious) and rice (better than most). A couple of notes... sour cream ($2.95 extra) and guacamole ($3.95) were add ons if you wanted them. They also charge $2.00 per basket of chips after the first. We didn't need another, just noticed it at the bottom of the menu. Street tacos were good, served in double corn tortillas. The shredded beef was very moist and good. The chili relleno was really good, very cheesy. Our server was prompt and friendly, checking back to see how things were. The menu prices were above what I expected but the food was very good.

    Carne Asada (no beans)

    Stopped in with my family for the first time and we loved our meal. It's a small place but colorful and quaint. I was hesitant at first because you could drive by and miss it if you weren't looking. But the heaps of good reviews made it hard to not try. It was lunch time and only one server but he was working hard and did great. I ordered the Huevoes Rancheros, my Hubby had the Chorizo and was, my two kiddos had carne asada and son-in-law had a combo platter with chicken enchilada and chicken tamale. My meal was good....I've never tried Huevos Rancheros so I don't have anything to base it on. But it was good with the runny egg, covered in red sauce and melty cheese on top of corn tortillas. It came with the standard sides of beans and rice but I even thought those were really tasty. My kids had the carne asada which is their go-to meal. The noises of pleasure coming from them meant they loved it. I snuck a piece of meat and can agree with their ooohs and aahhhs! The meat was tender, juicy (not overcooked jerky) and had a great flavor. My son enjoyed the crispy charred edges. Both said this was in their top 3 carne asada plates. My hubby likes his chorizo and eggs but did say he thought it didn't have enough flavor. But he mainly likes pork chorizo so I am wondering if they serve beef chorizo.? So his opinion may simply be based on his chorizo preference, don't mind him, you may enjoy it. My son-in-law had the chicken enchilada and chicken tamale. He was also making noises of satisfaction and said multiple times that he likes it and liked the place. He's from the Yakima area where Mexican food is in abundance so I trust his judgement.

    I see why this place gets highly reviews. Everything was good; food, service and the authentic atmosphere. The margarita was not bad and I could taste the tequila. The chimichanga was actually really good and not bad for its size. I love chips and salsa. However, not a fan of theirs. While I appreciate that they are free it is one of the things that drives me to go out for Mexican food. Still, it won't keep me from coming back.

    I have been to Rincon Tapatio n number of times and never ever have they delivered below par. The food, service, taste, place, staff everything is just superlative. Hands down the best Mexican place around and I never miss an opportunity to be here. The place is neat and clean and tidy and I absolutely love to be here. Also, the fact that you could get quite a few vegetarian items is a big bonus as a lot of my friends are vegetarian and they never say no to El Rincon Tapatio. If you are a vegetarian (don't prefer meat) just get their veggie fajita and it would be the tastiest thing you would have had in a long long time. It is just flavor after flavor after flavor. So good. My favorite is the ever reliable Arroz con pollo but no one makes it like they do it here. Absolutely loaded and tastiest. Highly recommend .. probably you will find me there :)

    Pic of cheese enchiladas-my fav!!

    I driven past this place hundreds of times and never stopped. Big mistake. This is, hands down, one of the best Mexican joints in town.

    The food was good, but it took a while to get to us. The inside is small and clean. The chips and salsa was great.
