El Rinconcito Mexicano - Lehigh Acres, FL Phone: (239) 369‑6577 Today around 4:00 PM, I experienced one of the finest Mexican meals in Southwest Florida at El Rinconcito Mexicano in Lehigh Acres. The food was exceptional--fresh, bold, authentic, and clearly prepared with tremendous care and tradition. What truly made this visit extraordinary was the service provided by Alex, the owners' son. Alex is an outstanding young man whose character, pride, and dedication elevate the entire restaurant. He carries himself with professionalism, warmth, and genuine pride in his Hispanic heritage. It is clear he plays a vital role in helping his parents run the restaurant, working side‑by‑side with his brother to uphold the family's standards of excellence. Alex's hospitality was remarkable. He was attentive, respectful, and sincerely invested in ensuring I had an exceptional dining experience. His kindness, enthusiasm, and deep pride in his family's work make him a standout in the world of customer service. People like Alex are rare--he embodies the heart and soul of a true family‑run establishment. The meal itself was phenomenal, and the combination of authentic cuisine and Alex's exceptional service makes El Rinconcito Mexicano a restaurant I am proud to give a full five‑star rating. If you are searching for the best authentic Mexican food in Lehigh Acres, this is the place. --- Dr. Eliot Sherr, PhD, DPM, FACFAS Diplomate, American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery Fellow, American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons Board‑Certified Foot & Ankle Surgeon Lehigh Acres, Florida Phone: 239‑266‑5237 read more

We all had a good experience here! What we ordered: Molcajete (great for one person, not too big), torta de asada (so good, a bit spicy but I like), chorizo tacos and pastor tacos (kids liked it). We would recommend. Service was good and good came out fast. read more

The food came out really fast, the service was very friendly and the ambiance was very relaxed. I had a burrito Al Pastor which was huge! I also had a quesadilla and three tacos, one chicken and two Al Pastor. Everything was very good. Would recommend this place. read more

Ordered over the phone and asked for sopes with chicken and when I got home and opened the box it had sopes with steak. I called and was asking if I could get a refund or the food corrected and they told me I couldn't get a discount and they could not correct the food. I think it's ridiculous my food couldn't have at least been corrected if it wasn't even my mistake to begin with. The lady on the phone even repeated it back to me. smh! read more

The food and service were fantastic. The place is very casual. I had a number of my Mexican friends recommend this place and it did not disappoint. The place was packed by the time we left and we were the only non-mexicans in there. read more

food is supper salty. Their sopa de res, is full of saturated fats and too much salt. I spent $75 on take out and had to put the food aside because it was seasoned with too much salt. I orderer two burritos, chips, rice, fried beans for two. read more

I read other reviews and went on recommendations about this place but disappointed. I had the menudo which was only tripe no hominy and I prefer both. The soup was overly spicy. I also had a taco Al pastor which was good and tender. However, it's an ok local place but I'll drive further out to Lozanos in Immokolee to get what's actually more authentic tasting. read more

Good looking, friendly staff, nice clean, attractive place. Even the menu is attractive. The host looks like he doesn't need to hire a bouncer. Music plays at a level so talk is possible. Two silent TV's, one tuned to the game, the other to local news. I ordered the Mojado, a wet burrito. My server explained it wasn't very hot (spicey). It was not that but it was delicious. JoAnn went for the chicken burrito and liked it very much. They were big enough for another meal and will do so. The review's number of stars did not reflect the quality. In January to us northerners it was better than four stars with reasonable prices and we'll be back. Oh yes, and the chips and cheese sauce were great too. read more

It's always important to go to a place more than once before making a review and I learned my lesson today... The food is good but order takeout because service is 50/50. Today I received some of the worst service In a while. I ordered 4 tacos one of them (carnitas) was burnt to a crisp (literally black charcoal ) and I asked for it to be taken off the menu and returned the taco (I didn't eat it and then ask for it to be taken off) and after that all the smiles and nice attitudes went away! I was ignored and had to walk up to both ask for a check and pay. I STILL left a tip but I can guarantee I won't be coming back. It's good but not THAT good. They should really teach the servers how to handle a valid complaint! Giving me attitude while I'm being polite?? NOPE not today read more

We seem to be always here for a quick cheap and delicious lunch but I don't know why but I never checked into here. So today will change that. Over all, this place makes Mexican food well. The flavor combinations are mostly spot on. I just think the prices for some things are a bit high. Guac and chips are $5.00 but they barely give you enough. The Taquitos are great but they are bare sometimes. If your in a rush, don't come here because they take their time with their food prep and cooking. I've waited 20 minutes for 6 Taquitos before. Under $10? .50 cent charge to your bill. Its just these things that bother me. They won't stop me from recommending this place though. For all of it's flaws, the taste of the food will always overlook those issues. read more

My favorite little hole in the wall spot. I drive 45 minutes just to get tostadas from here because they are simply the best. Always fantastic service & fantastic food read more

I had 2 sopes and 3 taquitos. Best real Mexican food I've had in a while. Don't listen to the crazy lady that left the bad review- not sure why she went to a Mexican restaurant if she wanted tofu... Eat here. I will be again. read more

It took 30-45 minutes to get my food. It was supposed to be a wet Asada burrito and I got a pound of rice and 4 little pieces of meat. I addressed it to the waitress and she ignored me and never went back to my table. The service sucks, the manager didn't even show her face. I will NEVER go back and I will NOT recommend to anybody. read more

These folks. Just wow. Good wow. But wow. Food was SPOT ON and I think the server is a relative now lol She took such Good care of us read more

food is good highly recommend there aCarne Asada Burrito , tacos kid friendly service is good read more

If you're white or have a white gf with blonde hair do not go here. You have to love when people don't think a white person knows Spanish. The comments made and the service received was terrible. They wouldn't serve / wait on us until all other Hispanics were served first. When we got our chips and salsa there was barely any salsa in the bowl and our chips were all crushed into little pieces. Compared to the tables around us had perfect chips and full bowls of salsa. When we were there before a few of the other tables our food somehow still came out 15 minutes after theirs did. We got pushed to the back and all Hispanics went to the front of the line. Terrible place. Had to edit to make some details make more sense. read more

This place is the bomb. Traditional Mexican food. Carne asada burrito was very good. Staff was fast and friendly. Good prices. Will be back.

This is a hole-in-the-wall sort of place, but the food is great. Authentic Mexican street tacos. They changed the menu recently and deleted some things that I really enjoyed, like the Caldo do Cameron. Great guacamole! read more

Everytime in Lehigh this is my stop, the food is always fresh and delicious. Service is also great.

Bland, I'm glad I only ordered the enchiladas. Guacamole was not good, it had too much salt in it. Enchiladas were cold and ok, but nothing to write home about. Would not go back read more

Authentic and delicious comida mexicana, I would definitely come back. The family that runs it are very very good

Expensive prices - food is good - more "authentic" than the Americanized Mexican food. The green enchiladas were fantastic - the red sauce not so much. The chips and salsa were lacking and our server was less than helpful. The best thing about this place is the ice cream place next door - HOLY AMAZING! read more

First time going here, server was great very pleasant! Food was amazing, would definitely recommend this place to dine in!

While it may not look like much this little strip mall restaurant is as authentic as they come. Our table had a carne asada plate, Mexican sausage burrito, and chicken enchiladas. Everything was made as good as I've had and everyone was well pleased. Portions are generous as 3 out of the 4 of us had to take some home. I would definitely recommend this place and will return to try other menu items. read more

Good, authentic Mexican food. If you live in Lehigh and love Mexican cuisine, this place is a must try. Sopas and chiles rellenos are very tasty! read more

Best Tacos in Lee County...by far! Don't go too early if you want Carnitas as they aren't ready until after 1pm or so.

Loved their pico de Gallo. We also had tacos they were okay nothing out of this world.. asked for water and was given bottled water I guess they don't have glass water also no desserts :/ read more

The food there is fantastic! But if you call in and place an order, their gonna pick up then phone, say "Just a second" and forget you even exist! This has happened multiple times. read more

Neighborhood storefront Mexican restaurant with outstanding home cooking. The family works hard to bring great food at a reasonable prices. For an appetizer I recommend the guacamole. It is reasonably priced and competes easily (and is better) than other higher priced restaurants in the area. Their cheese enchiladas are excellent. The breaded fried steak with fried onions is mouth-watering. It is pounded very thin and melts in your mouth. It is a diamond in the rough and worth the trip. read more

Hidden gem. Really good authentic food and service is great. People who complained about the service must expect fine dining service, it was totally fine. Definitely suggest the torta! Every beer you can imagine is four dollars and we were very pleased overall read more

I love this place! Especially the shrimp ceviche tostadas, as well as the carne asada tacos. Great authentic Mexican food, always Fresh and delicious. They never disappoint. read more

Best food I have had in a long time! I can't believe how great it is. I won't be going anywhere else read more

Sorry but I was not at all happy with my order. I had a beef burrito for $8.50. It was okay but nothing special. I would not go back again. I think Taco Bell just a few blocks away is far better and less expensive. It's my opinion. read more

Very small place, could be better. Food is ok. Employees are friendly depending on what time of day it is.

There is absolutely not a single option for any healtier food. So they won't get any health conscious people eating with their friends or family here. Sad, I went there with a group and after looking at the menu we all left. Greasy meat and cheese and that is it. Traditional Mexican restaurants have healthier food available. For that matter, Burger King has healthier food available. So that said, this is a bad choice for a lot of people, and especially bad to take a group. read more

Excellent..best taquitos, tostados in Fort Myers area, chicken enchilada in green sauce delicious with light heat. Corn tortillos very fresh. Green sauce, red sauce and guacamole excellentEvery dish perfect & authentic. Huge portions. Busy place, basic cafe casual. Fast service. read more

Food is good, but they gave me the wrong order and refused to take it back for the correct item. So had to pay even more money to get the correct dish, we will not be back. Place is very expensive for what you get and we use to come here a lot and didn't mind, but not after how we were treated. read more
